Crate-Optional Boarding: No Kennels. No early lock-down time. No stress. 
Our 2 story, home-style doggie boarding house offers a warm,
compassionate, safe and social experience for your treasured pet.
We very much believe that allowing the dogs to play freely all day both indoor and in nature, providing late night potty breaks & human companionship, on-site overnight supervision, and offering warm & comfortable bedrooms (not kennels) creates a stress-free home away from home.  Most of our boarders enjoy a crate and kennel-free overnight stay though we realize that some guests are more comfortable in their own crate, or one provided by dinky Dogs equipped with cozy bedding.  We are happy to offer you the choice of crating your dog at night or sleeping slumber party style on sofas and beds, without a crate.




Spa-Style Grooming Salon:  We use natural botanical Spa products and a compassion based approach in our salon.  No stressful cages used (unless requested).  We schedule specific appointment times for your dog grooming and time it so that he or she is ready for their scheduled pick-up time.  If you prefer to leave your dog at dinky Dogs for an extended period or for a full day we are happy to accommodate.  Your dog will enjoy plenty of indoor and outdoor social time, and we will groom close to their pick-up time so they
go home tired, happy and shiny-clean!



Yappy Hour: Our Mini Mutt Mingle is held on the second Monday of each month and it really is "big fun for dinky dogs" (and their owners).
