In-Home Dog Boarding in Sacramento

As soon as you have your dates. Give us a call and we'll hold them for you with a small deposit. Dates go quickly around holidays and school breaks, so earlier is always better.

They're custom to you. Times depend on who your dog is staying with, so we look at the schedule together and match it to what works for your travel. Just tell us what you need when you book.

Absolutely. Family dogs board together all the time, and bonded pairs who sleep together at home can share a crate here too. Just let us know at booking so we can set the room up right.

We don't offer traditional doggy daycare. Our overnight dogs get daycare-style play throughout the day — structured social time, enrichment, and rest. If you need a daytime-only drop-off, that's something we can sometimes arrange, but it isn't a standing daycare program. Just ask.

Yes — our in-home boarding is open to all dogs, new and returning. No meet-and-greet is required; we just need proof of vaccines before the stay. Drop-off is intentionally quick — for anxious dogs, a fast, confident handoff is far less stressful than a long goodbye. Overnight Adventure Training is reserved for alumni of our training programs.

Yes — proof of Rabies (required by law) plus current vaccines for communal viruses like DHPP and Bordetella.

Traditional kennels in Sacramento typically run $40–$90+ per night depending on room tier. Our in-home boarding is $85 per night with individualized care included — no add-on fees for playtime or tuck-ins.

Your dog's food (bagged by meal), any medications with written directions, a leash, and a comfort item from home.

All dogs sleep in crates overnight for safe, restful sleep, and are in and out of the house all day. If your dog is allowed on the furniture at home, they're welcome on the sofa here too.

Never more than four to six dogs total — compared to 100+ runs at a large kennel facility. Small numbers mean no round-the-clock barking and real individual care.

Yes. Stays of a few days get daily photo updates; longer stays get updates every other day.

Absolutely. We give medications as prescribed — we just need written directions covering what to give, how much, and when. Send them along with the medication at drop-off.

We collect your veterinarian's information and your written permission to seek care before the stay begins. If something comes up, we reach out to you first. If we can't reach you, we take your dog in rather than wait — and the vet's office bills you directly for treatment.

That's typical, and it isn't cause for alarm. The GI system is one of the first things to shut down when a dog is stressed — from a survival standpoint, an animal that senses danger shouldn't be stopping for a meal. Most dogs settle in and start eating within a day or two. We monitor it closely and let you know how it's going.

Yes. Dogs who aren't social are kept safely separated, and social dogs are grouped by size, play style, and energy level. We never force group play. The only dogs we can't accept are dogs who are unsafe to physically handle.

Intact dogs are welcome — every family raises their dog the way they think is right, and there's no spay or neuter requirement to board with us. We will want to talk it through: whether you're planning to breed, whether your dog just hasn't reached the right age, and how to keep everyone comfortable. We do prefer that a female in heat not enter a group program, since it's stressful for the other dogs. Accidents happen, so it's a conversation worth having — but being intact is not a disqualifier.

That's the goal. Dogs earn opportunities to play by using good manners with their friends and our trainers, and the day balances structured social time, enrichment, rest, and learning to match each dog's personality. We want your dog to have so much fun that boarding feels like their own version of a vacation — and to be a little excited to come back next time.
