Big Boy Boarding, We love big dogs!

Pet care experience

At Big Boy Boarding, we provide overnight boarding services where large dogs are welcome. We have a huge fenced lot, with a dog door for lots of exercise and plenty of space to have fun. We have two lab mixes rescues, so more super mutt. We have Olive 8 and Juno 2. Olive is more reserved and Juno love to play with new friends. Andrew works away from the house and Nikki works part-time in a hybrid job. We are easy-going if you crate great, if not we don’t mind letting them have free range. We let them sleep with us at night and are fine to curl up on the couch. Nikki is great at doing lots of photo and text throughout the day. We do foster for The Bond Between (formally Secondhand Hounds) so there is usally young puppies running around depending on the day. *Puppies and small dog are welcome, but must be potty trained.

Jolene and Oliver spent a week with Andrew and Nikki and their puppies. They had a great time and they were crashed after they got home. I figured if they were that tired from playing they had a great time. I would recommend them and if needed use them again for Jolene and Oliver.

Very friendly and polite people, and a wonderful pair of dog playpals for our dog. Our dog came back very happy and exercised from playing all day.

Our pups time with Andrew and Nikki was fantastic. They loved playing with Olive and Junk and had a great time in their backyard. We will definitely be asking them to watch our dogs again when we’re out of town.
