About Dougaldogs

We are neither a kennel nor a camp but a true home-boarding operation. All dogs are screened before staying with us to ensure they are well-socialized and not aggressive. Only dogs that are neutered/spayed and reliably off-leash are accepted, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment for all.

16 Years of Experience: Providing in-home dog boarding with personalized care.

Our facilities feature a wood stove, grooming area, stereo system, plush doggie beds, and a large fenced dog yard. Beyond that, our 50-acre property offers pastures, farmland, and forest trails for exploration and play.

A Day at Dougaldogs

A typical day at Dougaldogs starts with breakfast, followed by an off-leash morning walk. Playtime includes activities like frisbee, ball games, or lounging by the doggie pool. After an afternoon walk, the dogs enjoy dinner and settle down for the evening, tired and content.
