Boarding at Diggs
Your dog will really DIGG it here! Here is why…
- Diggs has trained staff that love to give your puppy the best care possible. We also live on the grounds so we are never far away when it comes to delivering the best care to your best friend.
- All Diggs accommodations have solid walls…no cages in our facility. While in their dens or lofts dogs cannot see their neighbor therefore they remain calm and comfortable during their stay.
- When it is time to make new friends your dog can hangout in the Diggs Playroom. The playroom is equipped with specialized padded flooring to ensure a non-skid, safe environment. The playroom is also climate controlled.
- We really want to Digg your Dog! To make sure we get off on the right paw each dog and owner will have a 20-minute consultation prior to your first boarding at Diggs. This allows our staff to learn about you and your dog’s wishes. As a result your dog’s stay at Diggs is a customized experience. This consultation is free because it is important to us that your dog is comfortable while you are away.
We have 2 boarding options to accommodate the needs of all dogs.
Diggs Dens
- The 6'x8' den is well suited for larger or more active dogs. Each dog has his/her own den unless they are traveling with a sibling in which they wish to share a den.
- Whether they want to spend time inside in a climate controlled space, lay in the shade outdoors or bask in the sunshine their Diggs Den offers it all.
- Dens come furnished or unfurnished. We encourage you to bring bedding and toys that are familiar to your puppy. If you prefer Diggs can provide a luxury cot for an additional daily charge.
Diggs Lofts
- The Lofts are quaint, indoor and climate controlled. They are distinctly made for the comfort of small indoor dogs.
- The 3'x3' accommodations are elevated so the height- challenged 4 legged friends can have a better view of the world.
