You know that your dog is trusting you to make the best possible boarding decision for him or her, to choose a location where canine comfort and care and companionship are at the top of the priority list. A location where the word “kennel” falls far short of describing the accommodations being offered — where the term “guest rooms” is much more accurate and applicable. A location where reality exceeds expectations in all the important ways.
K9 Ranch is exactly that location.
Because ranch-owners Julie and Ronn and their staff are dog-lovers at heart — and dog-lovers with heart — they treat the dogs staying here as if they were their own. Personal, loving attention is the watchword and ranch guests receive it for their entire stay, no matter the duration. Julie and Ronn live on this tranquil, rural property as well — the ranch is their home — so the dogs in their care are monitored around the clock, their well-being constantly supervised and nurtured.
Personal, loving attention is similarly reflected in the accommodations where dogs stay during their visit to K9 Ranch, rooms that are the result of Julie and Ronn’s research into the latest dog-care and -lodging innovations.
Accommodations
Using your dog’s size, temperament and socializing requirements as a guide — along with any special requests you might make — K9 Ranch staff determine which of several room options will provide him or her with the ideal personalized boarding experience. The rooms themselves fall into two main categories:
- SOLO ROOMS – The Lodge and Bunkhouses (Maple & Cedar)
- 32 private rooms of varying appropriate sizes, most with outdoor private runs attached
- clean and comfortable interiors, with climate-control for optimal restfulness
- seamless, antibacterial, non-absorbent, pet-friendly floors
- privacy walls to ensure peaceful slumber
- both natural sunlight (windows in most rooms) and full-spectrum lighting
- soothing music to create a calming atmosphere
2. SOCIAL SLEEPING – “In-our-HOME”
(Staying in Julie & Ronn’s home)
For the select few, Julie and Ronn open their home to those VIP pups that are needing to be more social. They have access to dog beds and furniture to sleep on and are able to intermingle with other dogs and the regular goings-on of a normal household. These accommodations are most like your home. Like all our sleeping places it is clean, comfortable and climate-controlled. Because of it’s social nature, all pups are pre-screened to be 100% social, even when unattended. Not the right option for all pups, but could be an option for yours? Feel free to ask us about it on your tour.
A Place to Lay Their Contented Heads
As mentioned, accommodations at K9 Ranch are floored with non-absorbent, pet-friendly material. Rarely, however, do “bathroom accidents” happen here. During their stay, all dogs are taken on a minimum of FOUR daily walks, so answering the canine call of nature happens just as nature intended: outside.
Our accommodations, therefore, rather than being defined as “living quarters,” should be considered a place for a dog to lay his or her contented head after an enjoyable day of participating in fun outdoor leisure activities like ball-play, swimming and nature walks, and soaking up the freedom and fresh country air that the ranch’s 26 idyllic acres provide in such abundance.
Transportation
To make your life easier and remove any possible stress that might be generated by the dog-boarding experience, guest transportation to and from the ranch is available. For information on this service, visit dog chauffeur.
