Pet Lodging
$45/day
Pet Lodging is our most popular option. Each dog is in a crate or pen that is fitted to their size. Meaning they can comfortably stand, and adjust themselves. They get to sleep on provided blankets and bedding. The dogs sleep in the main house.
Being in the main house is a great place to be. We have rooms separated for calmer dogs, and more rowdy pups. All with their own stereo system, and diffuser. Additionally, we have a living space in the house for humans. It's a setup for our training exercises. When not in use, we let dogs out to hang with our handlers when on break, or while doing computer work. This is in addition to full days of play in our yards. See our visual tour for pictures!
Can be space dependent
Pet Lodge Plus
$55/day
Your dog will stay in a comfortable kennel space inside the main house, large enough for them to move around in. They'll be provided with a raised Kuranda bed and blankets. Everyday they'll get a designated 10 minute 1:1 snuggle session with one of our handlers. This will be included with a full day of activities in various yards, with many of our team members.
Our kennel spaces are awesome! For owners that just want to spoil their pup on their vacation at camp, this option is for you. If you're curious about what the inside of the main house looks like, take our virtual tour!
This option is space dependent
Why Boarding?
Dogs absolutely adore interaction! They love to play, fetch, and wrestle with their friends. At our amazing outdoor dog daycare and boarding facility, they can burn off all that energy during the day, so they’re all set to relax and unwind with you in the evening. Plus, many common issues like destructive chewing, potty accidents, and aggressive behavior can be tackled when dogs aren’t left home alone, as being solo can lead to anxiety and affect their mental health. If you think your pup would thrive with exciting playtime and social fun, don’t hesitate to register above or give us a call!

How do I add-on enrichment to my dogs stay?When you're booking in the client portal (Gingr) you'll be able to add on any enrichment opportunities during the booking request process.
-
How often do the dogs get out to the yards?We split each day up into four to five rotations. Some are designated for post feeding. Others are designated playtime sessions in groups/pairs/solo play with a handler. Then in the evening, we have potty rotations so they can sleep soundly.
-
Is a crate safe for my dog?While we have other lodging options for guests, crates have been our personal choice method for our own dogs. Through Rescue & Training experience, we've learned these important attributes about crates: Safety and Security: A crate provides a safe and secure space for your dog. Especially when we're not around to supervise, like at night, or during a busy rotation period. It helps prevent accidents or injuries that could happen if your dog roams freely around the main-house. Den-Like Comfort: Dogs are naturally den animals. A crate mimics a cozy, den-like environment, offering a space where your dog can retreat to relax, feel safe, and reduce anxiety. Setting A Routine & Potty Training: Crates are a highly effective tool for creating a routine for their eating, sleeping, and potty habits. Dogs generally avoid things like soiling their sleeping areas, so a properly-sized crate encourages them to hold their bladder until they're let outside. Prevents Destructive Behavior: When dogs are left unsupervised, they might engage in destructive behavior like chewing on furniture or shoes. A crate helps prevent this by keeping your dog contained and focused on appropriate toys, Kong's, treats, or rest.
-
If my dog is in boarding will they get to join in on daycare?If your dog is already apart of our daycare program and or is a great play candidate; they'll be included in social play with other dogs. Below are the types of play we have at OPK. Types of play: - Solo play with a handler - Playgroups with daycare/boarding dogs - Play pairs, where small groups fit their play style
-
If I have more than one dog, can they sleep in the same space?For dogs 30lbs and under, we can crate or kennel together. For dogs any bigger, we place their housing units right next to one another. That way they can hear, smell, and see one another at anytime. Note: We have our Pet Lodge Lux units coming soon. Those will be large enough to house multiple dogs up to 100lbs together.
-
What belongings do I bring with my dog for their visit?Clients are required to supply any food/needed medication, and a collar. Your dog must be leashed upon arrival. We will use one of our loose leads to switch with your leash during drop-off. A general rule of thumb we have: don't bring anything you're not willing to get back! Our team is dedicated to returning any belongings back to you that we can. But something to keep in mind is, we have hundreds of leashes, towels, blankets, bowls, etc. Things can get lost in the mix quite easily.
-
Are all of your guests vaccinated?We do not confirm any booking, without proof for the following immunizations: - DHPP/DAPP - Bordetella - Rabies
-
Are my dogs supervised at night?In each room, we have security cameras that our team monitors frequently. With motion detection notifications if anything arises. Additionally, someone sleeps in a trailer on-site.
-
If I sign up for updates, how often should I expect to get one?You will always get a photo & text update within 24 hours of drop-off for all boarding stays. Following the initial update, you'll get a message every other day of your dogs stay. You're more than welcome to message at anytime, and our team will respond as quickly as possible! Please note: We do not send updates for any stay that is less than 24 hours. If you're in our daycare program and would like an update, please let us know! Or ask our staff at pick up how your dog did. We pay very close attention to each guest and are team is always happy to brag about your dog!
-
Do you take dogs that have behavioral issues?Dogs who have behavioral issues are welcomed at OPK. We do require meet & greets for dogs who need more specialized care. That way we can better understand the scope of the need, and ensure it's the correct fit. To schedule a meet & greet, please email: info@orchardpointkennel.com
-
Can I leave my dog for one night to test out your facility?Absolutely! Leaving your dog somewhere new can feel nerve-wracking, but rest assured, your pup will be in great hands—think of us as the fun aunt or uncle with all the cool toys. Just like kids benefit from social experiences, dogs thrive by learning how to interact and make friends. A one-night stay is a great way to introduce them to their new extended family here.
-
Do you take unaltered dogs?We have no problem with unaltered dogs joining us at OPK! But owners must note, this may limit their social opportunities.
-
How do I know my dog will be safe in playgroups?Each dog that comes to stay, goes through a multi-step and or day assessment process. Showing us what kind of stay they'd prefer. Solo or social, either works for us. Dogs who join playgroups must show us three things: If we use a recall command, that they'll respond effectively, even during mid play. They have the ability to respect other dog's boundaries, especially when they're set by the other dog, or by the supervising handler. In the case that a dog is more on the submissive side, they must show us that they trust our team. When playing gets to be overwhelming, some dogs want to retreat to a safe space. Our team needs to be that safe space. If you have any questions about our specific process, please email: info@orchardpointkennel.com
