Your dog will begin the day with a short walk around the farm before breakfast. After breakfast and a short rest, the first 45 minute group play session will take place either outdoors on a nice day or in our large, indoor play room. Your dog will be in a small group of friendly dogs of similar sizes.
We
cater to large, medium and small dogs and we love them all! Our
facility allows us separate areas for housing large and small dogs
creating a more peaceful environment. If you choose to have your
dog participate in a play group, these are also divided by size and
temperament. All dogs spend an equal amount of time outside
running, playing, sniffing or just enjoying the sunshine!
Lunch hour is a rest time for the guests followed by an afternoon play session of 45 minutes that may include chasing balls, relaxing in the living room, or a pool party on a warm day. Dinner follows a short outdoor break. Evenings may consist of a movie night, an adventure walk on the property over creeks and through fruit orchards or a short play session before getting settled in bed with a goodnight cookie.
We understand that some dogs may prefer more quality time with people and little or no interaction with other dogs. We are happy to work with you to give your pet the best experience possible.

A two day deposit must accompany reservations during holidays. Deposits will be refunded with seven days notice of cancellation. Due to our small size, please make your reservations early.
NOTE on FOOD:
We
require you to bring enough food for your dog to last during his or her
stay. We find that switching foods for a visit causes undue
distress to a dog’s stomach. There is no additional fee for special
feeding requirements.
WHAT to BRING:
Your dog and his or her food is all that we require. You are
welcome to bring anything else you would like. Some people
bring snacks, toys, beds or a blanket that smells like home.
