Services & rates

Dog Boarding

Short & long-term stays

A home-like indoor space with cameras, a TV and a noise machine, meals at 8am and 4pm, and six trips outside a day from 8am to 8pm. Kennels run from medium up to our Lux Large suite, which has its own doggie door out to a private patio, plus a big dog run outside. Bring your dog’s food and any medications and we’ll keep their routine going — short stays and extended stays are both welcome.

Boarding Rate

Day stay $25

Day stays run 8am–5:30pm. Overnight and long-term rates vary by length of stay — ask us for a quote. We take 10% off for military, first responders, Border Patrol & DPS.

A few things before your dog’s stay

Here’s everything your dog needs for a smooth first stay.

Up-to-date vaccinations

Rabies, parvo and bordetella — please bring a copy of the records.

Your dog’s own food

Pre-packaged or in a sealed container, please — no big bags.

Any medications

With clear instructions for dosage and timing.

Bed, blanket, toys & nylon bones

All welcome — but no rawhides, please. We can’t be responsible for lost or destroyed items.

Before your first stay

We’d rather tell you everything up front than surprise you later.

What’s required

· Up to date on rabies, parvo and bordetella — please bring a copy.

· People-friendly, with no signs of aggression.

· Free of ticks and fleas.

· Big dogs are evaluated first at a scheduled meet & greet.

When you arrive

· Dogs on a leash, please.

· Drop-offs and pick-ups are scheduled — please be on time.

· Watch for snakes on the walk up. We’re in South Texas; it’s their territory too.

· Drive slow, and please don’t touch any other dogs.

First-time dogs

· Some dogs don’t eat right away — they will once they’re hungry.

· A tummy ache or loose stools during or after a stay can be normal.

· Boarding can bring out an underlying condition, especially in senior dogs.

· Panting, pacing, scratching or extra barking are common stress signs.
