A Day at the Retreat

Dogs settle in faster with a steady rhythm. Here's what a typical boarding day in Longville looks like.

  1. Morning

    Potty break & breakfast

    Fresh country air, a potty break and breakfast served on your dog's home schedule.

  2. Mid-Morning

    Play in the yards

    Group play with dogs matched by size and temperament, or private play for pups who prefer it. Splash pads, pools and playgrounds keep it fun.

  3. Midday

    Rest & recharge

    A nap in their climate-controlled suite, so dogs stay balanced and don't get overstimulated.

  4. Afternoon

    More play & extras

    Another round outside, plus any add-ons like puzzles, treat-filled Kongs, one-on-one time or a bath before pickup.

  5. Evening

    Dinner & treats

    Dinner the way they eat at home, including special diets, and any medications given on time.

  6. Night

    Last potty break & tuck-in

    One more trip outside, a little extra attention, then a cozy night in their suite.
