Each dog will NEST in a glass-fronted, posh and spacious run (our version of dog boarding) in one of our three neighborhoods, The Live Oaks, The Elms or The Tree House. Dog NESTs feature elevated dog beds, soft bedding, music and hypoallergenic dishes. Overnight dog boarding includes afternoon dog daycare activities and medication administration if needed*.
