Book Now: Don't Let Labor Day Weekend Sneak Up on You

Labor Day is one of the busiest travel weekends of the year, which means it's also one of our busiest boarding weekends. Families squeeze in that final lake trip, cabin stay, or long drive to see relatives before school schedules take over. It's the perfect send-off to summer — as long as your dog has a comfortable, safe place to stay while you're away.

Here's the catch: those spots fill up fast. Every year we have wonderful clients call us the week before the holiday, hoping to snag a kennel, only to find we're fully booked. We hate turning anyone away, so consider this your friendly nudge to reserve early.

Leaving your dog with a boarding facility isn't just convenient — it's often the best thing for them. Instead of being alone at home for long stretches or shuffled between friends who mean well but have busy lives, your dog gets:

Many dogs come home from boarding happily tired and a little more social than when they left. It turns out a weekend of new friends and supervised play is pretty good for them, too.

To make drop-off smooth, make sure your dog's vaccinations are current — we'll need those records on file. Pack their regular food to avoid an upset stomach, and feel free to bring a favorite toy or blanket that smells like home. And if your pup has never boarded before, ask us about a short trial stay so their first real visit feels familiar.

Summer's not over yet, but the calendar moves quickly. Give your dog a fun, safe staycation while you enjoy your last big weekend — and give yourself the gift of not scrambling at the last minute.

Call us or book online today to lock in Labor Day boarding before we fill up. We can't wait to spoil your best friend one more time before the season ends.
