Each suite is furnished with cushioned orthopedic beds and every guest in the Seniors Lodge receives unlimited walks and our senior meal plan.

Add Extra Comforts

We offer a variety of additional activities and pampering services for your dog to make them more comfortable during their stay. We offer bundled service packages and a-la-carte add-ons to individualize your pet’s stay! No matter which services your pet participates in, they are sure to have a great time!

A La Carte Extras

Choose from the following options to add individual add-ons to your dog’s stay or see our Packages below for bundled savings.

Daily Brush
Give your pampered pooch some extra special attention with a daily brushing. This relaxing service is a great way to start your pet’s day while also keeping them well groomed throughout their stay. If your pet is shedding, we can also perform a daily brushing with a Furminator.
Extra Walk
A daily Extra Walk is a great way to exercise and have fun! Extra Walks benefit guests who like to explore, spend time outside or maybe just need that extra potty break. Guests can sign up for one or two Extra Walks per day.
Bath & Shampoo
Everybody knows pets love getting dirty but getting them clean is not always so easy. We can help! We have everyday shampoos for a typical bath that will leave your pet squeaky clean and smelling good, oatmeal shampoo for sensitive skin, herbal shampoo for a relaxing bath, medicated shampoos to take care of flea and tick problems or skin issues and even de-odorizing shampoo for when “making friends with the skunk” didn’t go as well as expected. We even have an elevated bath tub to help us give your pet a thorough clean even in the hard to reach places.
Quiet Care
The best way to end a fun-filled day at the Pet Resort is with a soothing Quiet Care session. The Quiet Care is a time to wind down, relax and get ready for bed. Our Care Providers will spend time helping your pet to snuggle down with belly rubs, head scratches and lots of hugs! Of course, no tuck-in is complete without a bedtime snack so each guest will also get a special treat as part of their Quiet Care session.
Yappy Hour
A Yappy Hour is time set aside during the day for activities that our guests would normally do at home with their families. We know that boarding can sometimes be a stressful experience, so we want to do whatever we can to make each guest’s stay enjoyable. Interacting with our guests the way their families usually do helps to reduce the stress and create a feeling of familiarity and normalcy.

Yappy Hour activities include TV time with animal-themed movies, relaxing on the porch, doggy dance time, visiting with different Care Providers, leisurely walks by the pond and, of course, extra special treats! While less active than a play session, each Yappy Hour is jam-packed with fun and helps your pet become familiar with our staff. Many of our guests look forward to their daily Yappy Hour time and greatly enjoy the various activities we offer. This service is great for first-time boarders, nervous pets, or any guest who would like some extra special attention.

Autumn Picnic
When the season is changing there is no better way to enjoy Autumn in the valley than by relaxing outside! Our guests take a leisurely walk to our secluded picnic spot, and once they arrive, we’ll spread out the picnic blanket so they can relax while snacking on tasty treats!
Daily Furminator Brush
Similar to our Daily Brushing service, brushing with a Furnimator is a great way to keep your pet well groomed during their stay. Brushing with the Furminator helps to remove loose fur and is ideal for pets that are shedding.
Play & Exercise Session
Exercise is important for your pet so we offer daily interactive play sessions to all of our furry guests. Guests can have one-on-one time with a Care Provider and a toy in one of our large outdoor play yards. If your pet likes to play fetch, keep away or just have fun running around outside then they would greatly enjoy a daily play session while staying with us. We have a variety of toys to play with or your pet can bring their own! Play sessions are a great way to keep your pet happy and active!
Pedicure Nail Trim
If your pet is always click-click-clicking when they walk, let us give them a pedicure! We can trim the nails on all four paws including dewclaws. Keeping your pet’s nails trimmed will help prevent painful breakages and make walking easier (and quieter).
Water Play & Splash Session
During the warm summer months, our guests are invited to take advantage of our Water Play sessions. Guests can play with our friendly staff with a waterproof toy in our swimming pool and participate in water-related activities to help cool off on hot days.
Bedtime Massage
Treat your pet to the full spa experience with a daily Bedtime Massage. Guests can get a full body massage from one of our team members before bed. A massage will help them relax and easily drift off to sleep so they can be ready to play in the morning. A Bedtime Massage is perfect for guests who love to be petted or handled and like lots of attention.
Birthday Bash
If your pet is celebrating a birthday, why not have our team throw them a huge Birthday Bash? Complete with dog-friendly cake, party hats, decorations, friends, and treats, each Birthday Bash is a party your pet will love! We will also provide a framed photo of the festivities for you to take home and enjoy.
