Since 2010, Tale of the Dog has been a premier kennel-free dog daycare and boarding establishment. Our dedicated, knowledgeable, and experienced team members are committed to providing peace of mind for pet parents by ensuring a safe, supervised, and playful environment for your furry friends. With plenty of playtime, attentive care, and endless belly rubs, your pup will feel right at home with us!

Expansive Outdoor Yard

Our expansive 7,000 sq. ft. outdoor yard is nestled in a serene, park-like setting, providing a calm, stress-free atmosphere for your dog to enjoy. It’s like having a vacation of their own! Here, your pup can:

• Run and roam freely across nearly 5,000 sq. ft. of pet turf and an additional 2,000 sq. ft. sand lot.
• Splash and play with pools and water toys on warm days.
• Climb and jump on platforms and ramps made just for dogs.
• Relax and nap under the shade of mature oak trees or indoors in the climate-controlled boarding rooms.

Whether they’re enjoying active playtime, exploring our spacious outdoor yard, or relaxing in our climate-controlled indoor space, your dog will have an enriching and balanced experience every day.
