Boarding

Dog Boarding Services Delivered by a Trusted Kennel

Boarding doesn't have to be a stressful experience for you or your dog. At Howl A Day Inn, your dog will be staying in one of our clean, secure, and spacious kennels. All of our kennels are heated with a modern indoor/outdoor design. Each of our guests will be provided with a Kuranda dog bed for their comfort.

During your dog’s stay at Howl A Day Inn, they can romp and play in one of our large, grassy yards or for a small additional fee, they can take a nature walk through the grounds of our beautifully wooded 35-acre facility.

At Howl A Day Inn, we strive to maintain a fun yet relaxing environment where your dog (even if spoiled rotten) can enjoy being a dog; so you can go on vacation with peace of mind, knowing that your dog is also having a vacation in the country.

Boarding works just like a hotel. The day you check in is considered a full day and if you check out before 11 o'clock, you will not be charged for that day. Boarding is $27 per day. Two dogs in the same kennel are $22 per dog per day.

Kennel Hours:

Mon-Sat: 9-11 AM and 4-6 PM

Sun: 4-6 PM Only

Our Happy Clients

During the past 6 years that we have been boarding our dogs at Howl A Day Inn, Trisha has continually worked to add improvements to the kennels for the well-being and happiness of the dogs. The kennels are always clean and well kept no matter when we have stopped. As Trisha goes about her daily tasks at Howl A Day Inn, she makes a point of learning about each individual dog and what makes them content. Each dog is treated as an individual with an emphasis on meeting each one's needs.

- Ken & Amy Wheaton

Our Labrador Retriever spent the lions share of August 2013 to August 2014 at Howl A Day. Including full-time December to February and March to August because we were stuck overseas. What can I say? We came home to one happy and contented dog who was having loads of fun and loved being there. Trish and her staff are clearly passionate about animals and love dogs. You can feel the difference when you walk in. It's not so much a kennel as a home away from home. I wouldn't leave my dog anywhere else.

DAILY ROUTINE: Our normal kennel routine starts at 6am when all of the dogs are let out individually to the exercise yards to “use the facilities”. Then everyone gets their breakfast. After breakfast, the dogs are let out to the exercise yards again for a longer run. When they return to their kennels, it is at this time, weather permitting, the dog doors are open for your pet to enjoy access to their personal 75 square foot out door area. We offer everyone a third time out to the yards to run again. Then the kennel is closed from 11:00-4:00. We try to limit kennel activity between 11:00 and 3:00 to ensure the dogs get adequate quiet time. But we do run everyone in the exercise yards again during this time. Kennel staff start the afternoon kennel routine at 3:00 with a run in the yards. Then we feed dinner at 4:00. After dinner and a break, the dogs are let out to the exercise yards again for a longer run. The kennel closes at 6:00 but because we live on the premises, we come back over to the kennel at 8:00 to run the dogs one more time before bed. And it’s lights out at 9:00pm. We pride ourselves on giving the dogs what they need for as stress free a stay as possible.
