Nestled in the peaceful countryside and conveniently located near Charlevoix, Petoskey, and Boyne City, our dog boarding kennel offers a safe, comfortable, and fun environment for your pup. We feature a climate-controlled building with spacious indoor kennels, each with an attached outdoor run, fenced potty yards, and a large secure play area for plenty of exercise and tail-wagging fun!

We want your dog's stay with us to be smooth, comfortable, and worry free! Here's everything you need to know about scheduling, fees, and payments:
Drop-off and pick-up times, by appointment only:
Scheduling within these windows helps keep the environment calm and organized for all dogs in our care.
Pick-up Day Policy
We charge by the night your dog stays.
If you need a later pick-up, please let us know in advance - we do our best to accommodate.
*To ensure smooth stays for all guests (and to give our team time with family), drop-offs and pick-ups are not available on holidays. Thank you for planning ahead!



We take pride in keeping our kennel clean, safe, and comfortable. Dogs must arrive clean and free of fleas or ticks. If a bath or treatment is needed, an additional fee will apply. Dogs showing signs of illness may be asked to reschedule.

Add a fresh cleanup before your pup heads home!
