About BDI Boarding

GETTING STARTED

After more than 10 years of offering tours, we have made the decision to no longer provide in-person walk-throughs.

Our open-concept environment is designed to support calm, happy dogs, and limiting outside foot traffic is an important part of that. Daily tours introduce unfamiliar people into the dogs’ living, resting, and play spaces, which can create unnecessary stress.

Thank you for respecting our commitment to a peaceful, secure environment for every guest. Check out the video on our Boarding page for the 'virtual feel!'

SEPARATION ANXIETY
If your dog has separation anxiety we strongly urge you to use the services of a pet-sitter or house-sitter. Boarding a dog with separation anxiety is not safe or kind for the dog, it is stressful for the other dogs being boarded, and you may incur extreme costs to replace/repair the physical damage that your dog does to the boarding facility. Your dog could also seriously injure themselves in attempts to escape the boarding facility. We welcome a meet and greet to try it out, and we give you our BDI promise to be honest and put your pup's needs above all else.
