How much does dog boarding cost near Santa Clarita?

Boarding is $100 per night, and an optional bath is $100. Boarding includes structured care and handling; it does not include a formal board-and-train program.

Is my dog kenneled all day?

No. Dogs get morning and evening exercise on open ground plus daily handling, with crate or kennel time used for genuine rest — the same way a healthy dog rests at home.

What vaccinations do you require for boarding?

Current rabies, DHPP, and bordetella. Send records ahead of the stay, and we do a short meet-and-greet before your dog's first booking.

Can you give my dog medication while boarding?

Yes. Bring it in original packaging with written instructions and we will follow the schedule exactly, noting each dose in your dog's daily log.

Do you board dogs that are not comfortable around other dogs?

Often yes — small capacity means we can separate schedules and space. Dogs with a bite history are evaluated first, and we will tell you honestly if we are not the right fit.

What's Included

Boarding with structure, not just a place to sleep.

Dogs unravel in chaotic kennels. Every stay here runs on a predictable rhythm of exercise, handling, and real rest.

Daily routine

Morning and evening exercise on open ground, midday rest, structured feeding, and crate or kennel downtime so your dog stays regulated.

Trainer handling every day

Leash work, place, and manners get reinforced daily at no extra charge — your dog does not lose ground while you are away.

Updates and clean handoff

Photo and video updates during the stay, plus notes on eating, energy, and behavior when you pick up.

Ranch vs. Kennel Facility

Six dogs on acreage beats forty dogs in a corridor.

Commercial boarding facilities in the Santa Clarita Valley run high volume: concrete runs, constant barking, and short potty breaks. Our dogs live in a household on ranch land, so they exercise on real ground and sleep somewhere quiet.

Space to move
Open field and trails instead of a fifteen-minute yard rotation.
Real distractions
Livestock and ranch activity keep dogs stimulated and settled, not stir-crazy.
Home-based care
Your dog stays in a home with people, not a commercial kennel row.
Six dogs, maximum
Someone notices immediately if your dog goes off food or acts sore.
