DogHouse Boarding

08/12/2026

It’s my sincere hope this message is received the way I intend it to be. Ever since we opened our kennel in 2018 we have carried a liability insurance policy to protect us as owners and you as customers against all types of injuries.
In return we had to agree not to board certain dog breeds. One of which is a pit bull terrier. I truly recognize that this breed is not always a threat. However, I am bound by my signed agreement with our insurance carrier. If I ignore this agreement and someone gets hurt, I could potentially loose my business. Having said this I hope you will understand if I have to turn you down for boarding your dog who I know is your fur baby.
I salute anyone that adopts this breed or mix of this breed in order to give it a loving home. So many are found in shelters for one reason or another. Hopefully one day people will stop irresponsible breeding of any breed and then dumping them because that dog wasn’t what they expected or decides is too much to handle. Just know that if you do decide to adopt a restricted breed you may not be able to board them easily. Some dogs are a (one owner) breed and doesn’t accept strangers readily.
Thank you for your understanding and support.

While we try really hard to make sure your dog feels safe and comfortable there can still be cases when he or she will experience some stress especially if it’s their first time boarding or first time in a new environment. I take notice when one doesn’t want to eat for several days and try different ways to encourage eating sometimes sitting with them amd hand feeding. Also, they can have bouts of diarrhea. All of this is normal behavior which can be upsetting. I’ve included a post that will help explain. I always tell dog owners any problems I saw while boarding so that they can be informed for future reservations.

First let me say we appreciate all who have trusted us to take care of the furry member(s) of your family. We have been more successful than we ever imagined due to consistent bookings and loyal customers. Having said that, we must ask that once you have booked a space with us, please be considerate and let us know if your plans change which requires you to cancel or change your reservation. Most likely I can replace that reservation with someone on our waiting list but in order to do that we need to know in advance if your plans change. Over the July 4th holiday we had 5 last minute cancellations, none of which contacted us. I reached out to each one when they didn’t show up as expected. Fortunately, I was able to fill those spots with the waiting list.

Again, thank you for your business. We strive to meet and exceed your expectations.

The 4th of July is fast approaching and at this point we are completely booked thanks to some wonderful customers. However, if you would like to be put on a waiting list please leave me your name and number along with the breed of dog you would like to board and if we should get a cancellation for the size pen you need I will reach out to you.

Four years ago on Labor Day we opened our business to some truly amazing customers and their fur babies. We want to thank everyone for their trust in us. We intentionally made our rates affordable to everyone and kept those rates the same for the last four years. Having said that, we hope you will understand that we’ve decided to raise those nightly rates ever so slightly. We still believe our rates are lower than most kennels in our area. The following will go into effect September 1. $25 - 1 dog $40 - 2 dogs ($20 per dog) $45 - 3 or more dogs ($15 per dog). These rates will be posted on the desk in the front office of the kennel along with our drop off and pick up times which is also changing slightly to be more consistent. Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday will be 8am to 9am, 6:30pm to 7pm with Thursday being the only day that has a morning time of 7am to 8am. We can be lenient somewhat if you make prior arrangements. We promise to continue to give the best service possible to you and your pets. Thanks so much.
