Going out of town? Onion Creek Kennels provides a safe and personalized environment for your dog to stay and have fun!
Boarding dogs will get their own kennel run, or they can share with a housemate. Kennel runs are 4 by 6 feet in our climate controlled kennel house with an equal size outdoor patio space for use during nice weather. Each run includes an elevated pet cot and cozy blankets along with an individual water bucket.
All boarding dogs participate in multiple play sessions throughout the day along with daycare dogs. Play groups at Onion Creek Kennels include romping across huge outdoor grass yards, splashing in wading pools, and cuddles from our pet-loving team. Indoor play rooms are also available during inclement weather or extreme temperatures.
Our group play sessions consist of up to 6 dogs matched by size, energy levels, temperament, and play style. Dogs that are not candidates for group play will get individual play times one-on-one with a staff member.
We recommend at least one day of daycare before boarding so we can evaluate your dog to see whether or not group play is a good fit for them. A daycare day also helps your dog get familiar with us and the facility, which reduces stress on their first overnight stay.
Overnight dog boarding is $60.00 per dog per night. Second dog or third dogs boarding in the same kennel run will receive a 10% discount on their stay. An additional fee of $25 applies for dogs picked up after 1:00 PM on their departure date.
*Deposits equal to one night of boarding may be required during busy holidays.
What should I bring with my dog for boarding?
- Food – We prefer that each guest brings their own pre-packaged meals. However, we also have space for large bags or containers of food, and ample fridge and freezer space for perishable food. Our house kibble can also be served at no extra charge. Please do not bring bowls from home. We have plenty!
- Medications – Please bring any medications in the original container. If your dog has a specific treat that helps them take their pills, please bring that as well. We keep soft treats, peanut butter, and wet food on hand.
- Bedding – Feel free to bring beds or blankets that your dog is familiar with. (Machine washable items are preferred just in case!)
- Toys – Dogs can have toys from home in their kennel run as long as they are not too squeaky or a potential choking hazard.
