The Dogwood is proud to offer our clients a more spacious option in our Pethouse Suites. Each suite is 5′ by 12′ and comes with The Dogwood’s standard excellent care. Your pet will receive delicious treats and attention from our caring staff throughout the day.

 

Each Pethouse Suite is equipped with a webcam, enabling you to watch your pet in his or her suite. This opportunity allows you to see your pet while you’re away, bringing you peace of mind. Each client gets a private and password protected username allowing you exclusive viewing.

 

***We shut off our lights after our last round of outs around 10pm and they won’t be turned back on until 6:30am. You will not be able to see your dog on the web camera during this time because of this reason.

REQUIRED: BEHAVIORAL ASSESSMENT

We require a behavioral assessment for all dogs wanting to use our daycare or boarding services. This used to be a free service but due to time and effort this will now be charged our half day daycare/day stay rate of $15. Assessments are offered only during half day hours, which are 7am-12pm or 1pm-6pm. This is available Monday-Thursday when space is available.

 

Why do we require your dog to be assessed before booking with us? We want all the dogs to be comfortable with our facility, as well as our staff. We want to see how they handle being in one of our boarding rooms, meeting new people, seeing how they walk on leash, how they handle their anxiety, how they do with other dogs (not required, they can do 1:1 play with staff) and overall if Dogwood is a good fit for them.

 

WE ARE NOT TAKING NEW CLIENTS UNTIL AUGUST 2025

Please let us know if you would like your pet scheduled for grooming, a bath / brushing / nail trim, an upgrade to daycare when space is available, or an extra service of your choice added to their reservation while they are spending quality time with us at The Dogwood!

 

Special arrangements may be made in advance for early arrival or late departure for a charge of $10 during business hours and $20 after business hours, because we know how much you missed your pet while you were away.

 

Pets not picked up by closing time will be considered overnight guests and charged the standard boarding rate for that evening.
