Fully Insured | Family Owned | Professional Pet Care
Every dog that visits our home is considered family. We do our best to treat your pup like the king or queen they are! Our past pets range from a 130lb Rottweiler (with a heart of gold), to a German Shepherd to more recently our very own Shetland Sheepdog; Siri.
When we say we treat your pet like our own, we mean it. Our own dog and House of Dogs mascot; Siri used to be a frequent boarder within our home before we adopted her!
We can guarantee your pets will be treated like royalty from the start of their stay to the end. They will have a minimum of 4 playtime sessions outside everyday, ranging from 30-45 minutes each in the yard and their own room to rest in at night. If your pup is tired from playing all day when you arrive to pick them up then we’ve done our job!
” Your pup’s safety is our top priority at House of Dogs. In our small group environment within our home, all dogs have been properly vetted. We look forward to meeting you and your pup!
