Boarding
We offer an all-inclusive program. Overnight accommodations coupled with daytime daycare activities included for all boarding dogs. We have 24 hour on-site supervision. Our suites have crate and Kuranda cot options for your pup. You may send a bed from home or we will provide our own plush bedding for no additional cost. To ensure their comfort overnight, Boarding is only available for dogs who are successful in the daycare program.
To ensure the safety of all of our guests, all dogs start with an assessment to determine which program best suits them. Please visit Become A Client to start the process of becoming a Metrodog!
Reservations are required for all boarding dogs.
- Same day are typically available except during the weeks of Thanksgiving and Christmas.
- If it has been over a month since your dog’s last visit or your stay is going to be a long one, we may require a full day of daycare to get them reacquainted and make sure they will have a quality experience during their board.

Boarding Programs
Social Boarding Program
Time for a slumber party! Best for well socialized dogs who want to be with friends their entire stay.
During the day they get their play on or just enjoy spending their time in the company of other dogs. Social groupings are 6-20 compatible dogs. The dogs are always supervised by a handler when in play. When not in a play yard, your dog will be roomed for rest time with friends. They will have a Kuranda cot in one of our suites with friends or be in a comfy crate alongside friends, depending your dog’s needs. Overnight accomodations are the same resting rooms used during the day care day, making the transition to boarding a smooth one. Personal (or house) bedding is given at night when dogs are bed down and lights go out, and put away in the morning when the social day care day begins. Soothing music lulls your tired and satisfied dogs to sleep.
Single Room Boarding
This is the same as our Social Boarding Program but these dogs take their rest breaks and bedtime alone in one of our suites.
This program is best for dogs that react to pass-by activity or the sight of other dogs and/or people. Personal (or house) bedding is given. Soothing music lulls your tired and satisfied dogs to sleep.
Specialty - Puppy Boarding Program
2-6 months old, or until graduated from the program. Puppy groups are comprised of carefully selected compatible puppies and/or adult dogs.
Frequent naps, supervised play with emphasis on shaping appropriate play, complimentary lunch service (feeding your food), crate training, and a housebreaking schedule help promote your puppy’s healthy physical, social and emotional development. Personal (or house) bedding is given at night when dogs are bed down and lights go out, and put away in the morning when the social day care day begins. Soothing music lulls your tired and satisfied dogs to sleep.
Specialty - Semi-Private Boarding Program
Dogs that have a foundation of social skills but do not enjoy the company of our full playgroups or have a handling need that requires extra attention may qualify for our semi private program.
Custom playgroups are crafted around the needs of the semi private dog. Group sizes are smaller, typically 1-4 dogs. On any day we do not have the right play friends for your semi private dog they will enjoy enriched activities and play time with our handlers. Personal (or house) bedding is given at night when dogs are bed down and lights go out. Soothing music lulls your tired and satisfied dogs to sleep.
Specialty - Private Boarding Program
Less-social, special-needs, or medical-need dogs…
Receive a private suite, 1-on-1 handler attention in a customized program that includes one 30 minute play, TLC session, or walk as well as three 15-minute play sessions in one of our 7 play yards. Potty breaks are offered every two hours. Personal (or house) bedding is allowed all day and night in their private room along with toys, as long as they do not resource guard them. Soothing music lulls your tired and satisfied dogs to sleep.
