Boarding
We understand that your pet is an important member of the family and we will make sure your pet has the best of care while staying with us. Since we have an extensive dog behavior and training background, rest assured your family member will be handled with care!
Our boarding offers a comfy and safe space for your dog while you are away! Our boarding facility is also inclusive to ALL temperaments of dogs!!
We will board dogs of all behaviors and temperaments, because of this we do not require your dog to come in for a meet and greet in advance, but we do offer drop in days for dogs who want to come check out their new vacation spot before boarding. (once boarding is booked and confirmed). Boarding dogs do not have to play in group play! We love our guests that do not enjoy making new dog friends or are uncomfortable with a lot of new dogs.
For your pet's well-being, if they have not stayed and played here before and are over the age of 12yrs old we will not accept them as new clients for boarding

Play Times
Boarding always includes group playtime or one on one play time depending on your dog's needs. We believe that all dogs need to get outside to play in our huge fields. We think that's why dog's love Clark's!!
Our play times are always staff supervised however, dogs do play with their mouths and paws, so nicks and cuts can happen. If your dog gets hurt or sick, and we determine a veterinarian is needed, we will call you first but if we don't get hold of you we will act in the best interest of your dog. All fees will be passed on to the owner at pickup time.​
One-on-One Play Time
This offers time for dogs who don't enjoy other pups to have someone on one play time with a staff member!! These playtimes still include all the fun activities as group!
Group Play
Group play offers your dog to play with other dogs that are in our daycare group! During group play there is a variety of different dogs of all sizes and lets them interact and play with each other if they are dog friendly!
Doggy Meal Menu/Medications
We provide Bil-Jac Fresh Frozen dog food which is a chicken based food that we have used for 25+ years!
However, if your pet is on a special diet or has a sensitive stomach, feel free to bring your own food. We will serve your dog's food twice a day. If you do decide to bring your pup's food from home, please keep these considerations in mind​:
-
Space does not allow us to accept large bags of food.
-
Please bring the amount needed for the stay plus one or two days extra.
-
Place it all in a ziplock bag or a Tupperware container, and we will mark it for your dog. ​​​​
Medications
If your dog is on a medication or numerous medications we've got it handled.
We require a $1 PER dose for each medication to be administered to your pup.
This includes any sort of supplements, pills, washes, or creams.
