Why Families Make the Drive
I’d love to thank Dana and Mckynzie especially. These two treated Shadow as their own and he loved them.
They know our dogs and inform us of details of the visit. They send us messages and pictures, even videos of their stay.
The crew was amazing with my girls, even my one that’s skittish around new people… they looked so happy when I came to pick them up and smelled great after their baths.
Questions We Hear Most
Quick answers about boarding, daycare, grooming and cat stays at our Longville retreat. Tap a question to open it.
When can I drop off and pick up?
We're open every day from 8am to 6pm, weekends included. Drop-off and pick-up happen during those hours.
Is there a minimum stay for boarding?
Yes. Boarding at our Longville retreat, for both dogs and cats, has a two-night minimum stay. Daycare and grooming have no minimum.
What vaccines are required?
Dogs need current Rabies, Bordetella (kennel cough) and DHPP. Cats need Rabies and FVRCP. Send records before your first visit and check-in will be quick.
Will I get updates while my pet is here?
Yes. Our Longville team sends photo and video updates so you can see your pet playing and relaxing while you're away.
How do you decide where my dog stays and plays?
Our team places dogs by size, so there's no suite to choose. Playgroups are matched by size and temperament so everyone is comfortable.
My dog has never been here. What should I expect?
Most dogs settle in quickly in our quiet country setting. For daycare, a temperament check is performed on your dog's first day so we can match them with the right playgroup.
Do you have a deal for new clients?
Yes. New dogs get their first boarding night free, or their first day of daycare free. No blackout dates. Boarding has a two-night minimum stay. Request your first visit.
Do you board cats?
Yes, for $20 per night. Cats stay in private three-level condos in a quiet, climate-controlled room away from the dogs. Two cats from the same household can share a condo, and cat stays have a two-night minimum. See the cat condos.
Can I add grooming to a stay or daycare day?
Absolutely. Many families add a bath, trim or full groom before pickup so their dog comes home fresh and clean.
Should I bring my pet's food?
We recommend it, since a sudden food change can upset their stomach. Pack meals in labeled, pre-measured bags or containers. If needed, we can provide house food for $5 per day.
Can you give my dog medication?
Yes, at no extra charge. Please bring oral and topical medications in their original containers with clear instructions. If we have any questions, we'll reach out so your pup gets the care they need every time. We don't give injectable medications.
What happens if there's an emergency?
We contact you right away, or your emergency contact if we can't reach you. If urgent veterinary care is needed, we make sure your pet gets to a trusted local veterinarian.
