Sleepovers (Overnight Boarding)

  • Only available to daycare clients who attend daycare on a routine basis (at least 1x/week and prebook quarterly) Why do we have these requirements? Dogs can become very stressed when boarded in an unfamiliar environment. We notice dogs tend to struggle more with their anxiety and adapting to our structured environment when they don't attend routinely. Since we always put your dog's health and safety first, this routine attendance will allow them to feel most comfortable here while you are away and set them up for success.

  • Sleepovers are held in our 4 kennels of our backroom. We have one 4x6’ and three 4x4’ kennels. DDD focuses on quality instead of quantity. Low numbers of kennels means more individualized attention for your dog.

  • If your dog is present Monday- Friday, they are required to attend daycare on those weekdays. We don't want dogs kept in the back kennel area all day long.

  • We do not have regular daycare playgroup on the weekends. Instead, your dog will have outside time and feeding in the early morning and evening and a 2 hour play session in the afternoon.

  • Weekend boarding services also include: a massage or Reiki, Kong or enrichment game, tv/music and photo/video updates AT NO ADDITIONAL COST!

  • If you have multiple dogs, they will be kenneled in separate kennels for safety reasons; no exceptions.

  • Every kennel will be equipped with an elevated chew proof cot, fleece blanket, and food/water bowls. They will also be able to view a tv or listen to music while they rest.

  • The kennel room has a security camera with visual and audio and temperature monitoring device with alerts, sprinkler system, and more.
