I offer the kind of dog boarding services I would hope to have for my own dogs. You can see photos of your dog having fun and interacting with other dogs that I send to you while you are away. I include basic training to dogs who are boarding with me at no additional charge. I have 70+ Five-Star reviews. DOGNACULAR is based in southwest Georgia on 3.25 acres that include my house and one-acre pond. The perimeter is fully enclosed with a 6' high chain link fence. ▪︎ All my policies and procedures are designed for the safety and comfort of my clients' dogs and my clients' peace of mind. ▪︎ I require new client Meet & Greets to ensure client dogs are a good fit. ▪︎ I have a large fenced-in area within the perimeter for dogs that might need to be segregated. I bring all dogs into the house at night. When they are outside, I am out there with them or keeping an eye on them. My gates are kept locked for security except when a gate is in use, during which no dog is loose outside. ▪︎ I require proof of reasonable vaccinations and recommend others. This applies to all dogs entering my property for Meet & Greets as well as for paid-sevices (boarding, day care, training, and dog park). I need a copy of documentation of vaccinations from your vet. I hope that is not a problem for anyone. I would rather be extra cautious than put any dog here at risk. ▪︎ I have a simple set of forms to be completed mostly by me for each client regarding feeding, special commands your dog knows that I need to know, emergency contact info in case I need to reach you, what to bring and what not to bring, etc. I also offer training to owners and their dogs for additional fees: ▪︎ Basic Obedience (non-competition) ▪︎ Conditioning for health and dog sports ▪︎ Dock-jumping performance events ▪︎ Retriever work for hunting and hunting tests I KEEP MY ADDRESS CONFIDENTIAL - for safety, security & privacy reasons. I am open by APPOINTMENT ONLY. I release my address on a need-to-know basis, such as when I schedule a Meet-n-Greet, book a boarding, etc. The reviews began with a company named DogVacay, which was purchased by Rover. The gap in dates on my reviews is because my last home was in a massive wildfire caused by my utility company that destroyed 95% of my town in northern California on 11/08/2018. Fortunately, I had just returned from a trip and had no client dogs to evacuate. I successfully evacuated with my two Labs. I bought Scorch as a puppy in 2021. I bought my home in Georgia in early 2022. It took awhile to get established here, including having my entire perimeter cleared and a full 6' perimeter fence installed. During the interim, I worked out of the area for field trial retriever professional trainers I knew. I also cared for a few existing clients' dogs when I temporarily was on my own property in California. All my rates and policies, such as the cancellation policy, are customized, based upon individual circumstances. I offer discounts for multiple pets, multiple days, and repeat clients. Please see the Rate Info below. I held my rates steady for more than a decade. I raised them on 06/01/25. I realize that $120/24-hours may seem like a lot. Please keep in mind that is only $5/hr for a very experienced dog professional with a Masters degree who is on duty around-the-clock at a dog resort. OVERNIGHT BOARDING RATE INFO: Regular rate = $120/24-hrs per dog (I charge per 24-hr intervals and additional hours on the last day at my day care rate, not by # of days or nights.) DISCOUNTS & EXTRA CHARGES ▪︎ Rate for two dogs from the same owner = $180/24-hrs. (25% off for the 2nd dog) ▪︎ Holiday period surcharge = Automatically factored-in by Rover ▪︎ Regular weekly discount = 10% off ▪︎ Regular 2-week discount = 15% off ▪︎ 2nd booking = 25% off 1st 24-hr period (3-night minimum) ▪︎ 3rd and add'l bookings = 50% off 1st 24-hr period (3-night minimum) DAY CARE RATE INFO: Up to 6 hours = $80 6+ hours = $120 (same as 24-hour rate) Multiple days booked at the same time receive a discount. If these rates don't work for you, please let me know, and I'll try to make a special plan just for you. OTHER RATE INFO: Please ASK ME about the range of options and associated rates. I primarily am offering training for dogs and their handlers and private dog park use of my property at this time. Dog Boarding and Day Care at my home is offered on a limited basis. If you have other needs, such as transportation or mentoring/coaching at dog events, please let me know and we can discuss them. All dogs allowed on my property, including those on Meet&Greets, must meet my vaccination requirements. If there are any signs your dog has an illness, please seek veterinary assessment, if needed, and amend any plans you have made with me accordingly.
