Additional Services
Group Play | $12
Group play activity is for those pups who enjoy the company of other dogs. An evaluation is required in order to consider your dog for group play activity. Group play for the boarding guest is three to four hours of off-leash play time on our play yards. Outdoor play yards have plenty of shade structures for hot or rainy weather and during the summertime heat there’s lots of fun water play and pools. Dogs are all supervised during group play and separated into several different groups based on play style, size, temperament, and activity level.
Please Note: Dogs over 12 months of age participating in group play must be spayed/neutered.
Private Play – Individual 1-on-1 | $20
One of our human pack members will dedicate his or her time to your dog’s favorite activity; fetching the ball or Frisbee, petting, brushing, etc. Timing varies from 20-40 minutes for this service depending on activity; a very energetic game of fetch might take less time, whereas something low-key like helping our office staff greet clients and their pets could last longer. This option is most often for the pooches who enjoy lots of activity or attention, but don’t prefer spending time with a group of dogs!
*Unlimited Members get daycare play included in boarding
Solo Adventures | $15
*New Offering!
Teeth Brushing
- Boarding Stay: $15 per service

Make sure your pup is putting their best paw forward! Keeping your dog’s nails trimmed is important for healthy balance, posture, joints, muscles and comfort. Keep up with regular nail trims to keep them at a safe and comfortable length!

Please call for a quote at 209.877.0621. Schedule a bath or complete grooming with a bath and haircut. All grooming services include a pedicure and dogs are always hand dried. The daily boarding fee for your departure day is waived if the grooming service is scheduled on the day of departure.
