If you're considering individual dog boarding for your furry friend, you have several options to choose from. In-home boarding allows your dog to stay in a private residence, often with a live-in caregiver, which can provide a more personalized experience.
The benefits of in-home boarding include reduced stress and anxiety for your dog, as well as more opportunities for socialization and playtime. In-home boarding can also provide a more natural environment for your dog, which can be especially beneficial for dogs that are sensitive to new environments.
Some in-home boarding options offer specialized care for dogs with specific needs, such as medical conditions or behavioral issues. These services can provide peace of mind for dog owners who want to ensure their pet receives the best possible care.
You can also consider in-home boarding with a live-in caregiver who can provide 24/7 care and attention to your dog. This option can be especially beneficial for dogs that require frequent medication or have specific dietary needs.
Dog Boarding Options

In-home dog boarding is a great choice for dogs that prefer a home environment, with 75% of dog owners preferring this option over traditional boarding facilities.
With in-home boarding, your dog will receive one-on-one attention and care from the host family, who can provide a personalized routine tailored to your dog's needs.
In-home boarding hosts often have their own pets, so your dog will have built-in playmates to keep them company.
Dog Prices
Our standard overnight price is $68.00 per 24-hour period, which includes a full day of daycare.
You can also opt for private accommodations, which start at $74.00 per 24-hour period, and the price will vary depending on your dog's specific needs.
If you have multiple dogs in the same family, you'll get a 10% discount on their boarding fees.
Extended stays can also save you money, with discounts available for consecutive nights: 10% off for 8 nights, 15% off for 15 nights, and 20% off for 22 nights or longer.
If you're planning a longer stay, you can also consider one of our discounted packages, such as 10 open play nights for $635.80 or 20 private boarding nights for $1,287.60.
Additional fees may apply if your pet requires special needs or feedings that require LOPCI House Food, which costs an extra $5.00 per feeding up to 2 cups.
If you need to pick up your dog outside of the 24-hour period, there's a discounted day fee of $29.00, but try to pick them up around the same time as drop-off to avoid this fee.
About Bark Avenue
Bark Avenue is a top-notch dog boarding facility that offers a safe and social environment for your furry friend. They have a daycamp where dogs can play and socialize during the day.
Their staff is trained to administer first aid if needed, as well as trained in dog behavior and handling all breeds. They treat each dog as if they're one of their own, giving you peace of mind while you're away.

Bark Avenue is open 365 days a year, so you don't have to worry about finding a boarding facility that's closed on holidays. They're fully staffed even on major holidays like Christmas and Thanksgiving.
Dogs at Bark Avenue get to play in the daycamp during operating hours, and they're only in their individual kennels when eating or sleeping.
Reliable Pet Care
You want to know why individual dog boarding is the way to go. It's because you want to be stress-free, and that's exactly what you'll get when you leave your pet in the right hands.
At a reliable pet care facility, you don't have to worry about a pet sitter arriving on time, feeding your pet, or letting them outside to use the bathroom. You can trust that your pet is safe and taken care of.
Your pet will have a blast at a dog boarding facility, with playtime with friends and daily walks available for overnight stays. They'll even have their own private room at night to relax in.

Having specific rules regarding a dog's temperament and shot records means you can rest assured that your pet is safe in care. This is especially important if you're leaving your dog at a friend's house for a weekend, where their dogs may not be up to date on their shots.
Tips and Information
If you're planning to board your dog, here are some important things to keep in mind.
Food must come in a sealed container to ensure your dog's safety and comfort during their stay.
You'll need to pack extra food for your pet's stay, as it's always better to have a little extra just in case.
All medications must come in their original prescribed bottle, so be sure to bring those along.
Dogs must be up to date on their shots in order to stay with us, so be sure to call your vet before dropping your dog off.
