A Better Kind of Boarding

Dog-Centered Design

Big or small, bold or shy, we’ve planned every inch of our facility to suit the way dogs actually live, rest, and play.

Clean, Calm, Comfortable

Our suites are bright, cozy, and professionally maintained, so your dog stays comfy and safe, whatever the weather.

We Follow Your Routine

Raw food? Twice-a-day meds? Special bedtime biscuit? We’ve got you. Just give us the details.

We Get Dog Vibes

Play? Chill? Shadow the staff like it’s a job? We meet your dog where they’re at, not force them into a “one size fits all” day.

How Dog Boarding Works

Step 1: Get Ready for Your First Stay

We recommend stopping by for a tour before booking. No appointment needed. It’s a great chance to see the facility, meet the team, and ask questions.
Before your dog’s stay, we’ll also make sure all paperwork is complete, vaccines are up to date, and the client waiver is on file.
Step 2: Submit a Booking Request

Pick your dates and send in your request online. We’ll confirm your spot once your deposit is received.
During peak times, like long weekends, summer, and Christmas, we often run a waitlist, so booking early is a good idea.
Step 3: Pack the Essentials

Bring your dog’s food, meds, and anything else that helps them feel at home. We’ll handle the rest.
Step 4: Drop Off and Relax

Come by during our check-in hours and head out knowing your dog’s in great hands.

A Day in Boarding

What a Day at the Kennel Looks Like

Every day includes a mix of movement, rest, and enrichment, shaped around your dog’s personality and comfort level.

Whether that means playtime, quiet time, or just exploring the yard, we focus on calm routines and individualized care.

Learn About Our Care

Chutes open at 7. From there, it’s go time.

We start with the basics: clean the messes, vacuum the kennels, and mop the floors. Laundry goes in early. Waters are topped, breakfasts are served, and poop runs in the outside yards start right away, and keep going all day.

Dogs show up as the morning rolls on. There’s no rush. Some head straight into the yard. Others settle into their suite and relax. We meet them where they’re at and let them warm up how they want to.

Still cleaning. Still calm. Still rotating dogs.

The noon crew comes on, the morning crew heads out. If a dog’s due for a mid-day meal, they get it. Rotation continues: yard time, suite time, solo breaks, play if they’re into it.

When there’s downtime, staff hang out with the dogs - in suites, in the yard, wherever they’re comfortable. We usually pull out the pressure washer around noon because clean matters. It smells better. It feels better. And the dogs notice.

Final outs. Final feeds. Wind-down begins.

We top up waters. Feed whoever’s on an evening schedule. Rotate any dogs who haven’t had their last stretch. And yes, we’re still scooping poop.

Evenings are quieter. Staff slow down, spend more one-on-one time. Some dogs want belly rubs. Some just want to be left alone. Wind-down starts at 7:30. Chutes close at 8.

The Facility

I can’t thank the team enough for the incredible care they gave to my dogs, Jack and Enola. I was in a bind and they made space for us on less than 12 hours’ notice. The facility is spotless, the staff are warm and caring, and they went above and beyond—especially with Jack, who has special needs. This was my first time using a kennel, and they completely changed how I see boarding. They saved us in a moment of need, and we’ll absolutely be back. Thank you for everything!

THE BEST kennel ever! We've moved a few times lately so we've had to use a few different kennels over the past year and this is by far the best. My puppers is excited and happy whenever we get close and has so much fun while she's there she hardly wants to come home with me. The care and attention and spoiling she gets there is fantastic and makes it way less stressful for both of us whenever I do have to leave her.

I can’t even put into words how wonderful this kennel truly is. I was so nervous about our baby staying for a week,but when we went to drop her off they showed us the whole area and how everything works..I was instantly eased. They care so much for your pet and you really couldn’t ask for a better place or better service. Bailey was very nervous the first night and they even helped her transition and let her inside and ensured she was happy. They also keep you updated with texts and pictures so you’re constantly reassured of how well they’re taken care of. Thank you to the staff beyond words, just look how happy she is too! Bailey will definitely be back!

We could jot be happier with the care for our Hippo! We were a bit apprehensive leaving her as she had been diagnosed with a UTI less than a week before her stay. The team at Sturgeon County Kennels were so kind and caring towards our girl and had no issues helping to dispense her medication and even suggested using some goats milk to help keep her hydrated and offer some extra probiotic support to help get her feeling better faster during her stay. We could tell Hippo was loved on immensely while we were gone, she was happy we were there to bring her home but sad to b leaving her new friends. I can't say enough about the service we reviewed. I highly recommend them to care for you fur babies the way you would while you are away and unable. Thanks again SCK! We will be sure to bring Hippo back for a visit.

My sweet boy Henry has been coming here since he was about 5 months old. He LOVES it ! The staff and owner are the most genuine, caring, dedicated, lovely people. It gives me valued peace of mind to leave him in a place that I know …. He will not only be happy at , but a place that consistently provides him with the very best care.
These people love dogs …. And it shows. I couldn’t be more thankful.
