Family Style Care
At Small Dog Daycare & Boarding all our guest dogs, both daycare and boarding, are treated like extended family. Here they will receive the same homestyle love, consideration, care, and affection as do our own, whether indoors or playing and hiking in one or all of our 3 secure and private dog parks.
Overnight guests eat only the food you provide, out of their dishes and sleep inside our home on their own bed, if you chose to bring one.
​
Daycare guests receive their homelike care inside our separate daycare suite located directly adjacent to our 3 secure, private dog parks.

"There is no other dog sitter that we have ever found in 35 years of having fur babies that can compare with Small Dog Daycare and Boarding
. They treat your beloved pet as if he/she were their very own. We love Rick and Heather just as our dogs do. They are wonderful."

"Mully absolutely loves visiting Small Dog Daycare and Boarding! I'm confident he's being looked after when I have to leave him overnight. He doesn't even want to come home when I come to pick him up! He definitely loves it there!"
Lesli

"Skipper and Chester have stayed with Heather and Rick 3 times now. I have absolute confidence when my dogs are with them that they are safe. It means the world to me to know this! Their property is a delightful place for the pooches to sniff and explore securely. I love that they are in a homelike situation and that their needs are met with loving care."
BOARDING ASSESMENT
​
Step 1: Call to book a time for you and your dog(s) to join us for an on site "walkabout". This gives your pet(s) a chance to sniff around and lay down some scent while we all get to a learn a little bit about each other.
Step 2: Complete our pet profile at home and arrange a free half-day visit for your dog(s) to spend some one on one time with us and each dog on site. All going well, your dog is now set to come for boarding and daycare.
​DAYCARE ASSESMENT
​
Daycare assessment is somewhat simpler.​
After we have had a chance to chat on the phone, we invite you to bring your dog for a
free day of daycare.
All going well, your dog is now set to come for daycare and boarding.
​
Small Dog Boarding Criteria
We strive to accept a small number of dogs that are well socialized, neutered/spayed, house trained and recently groomed.
If your dog is an "escape artist," struggles with excessive separation anxiety, or is a chronic barker we may not be able to accept them into our care.
How We Define "Small Dog"
Our goal is to keep our guests weight under 22 pounds, but we are open to considering dogs up to 30 pounds. Truthfully. It's just as much about dispositions as it is size. All decisions are determined following our pre-stay assessment and consultation with the owner(s).
