Holiday dog boarding over the mountain

Traveling for Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Year's? Your dog can spend the holidays in a calm home setting at one of our select locations instead of a kennel, with daily walks and Rex for company.

He took over full-time boarding of her pet when she was hospitalized. He told us not to worry about the dog. He was a godsend at such a stressful time.

Randall M., Google review

She's spending her vacations in a fun, loving home instead of being boarded. I never have to worry about our dog or feel guilty.

Madison J., Google review

He walks Henry 3 times a week. Henry even stayed with Peter for 6 nights and he didn't want to come home!

Holiday boarding questions

Do you board over the holidays?

Yes. We board on all major holidays, including Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's. We usually take one dog at a time, so holiday spots fill first.

How much is holiday boarding?

$60 a night per dog, the same as any other night. Boarding has no holiday fees.

We've never used you before. Can we still book a holiday stay?

Yes. Start with a free meet & greet at your home so Peter can meet your dog and make sure everyone, Rex included, gets along. Book it soon so there's time before your trip.

Will I get updates while I'm away?

Yes. You'll get photos and notes in our client app, the same as every visit.
