Dog Boarding

Going on a trip? Give your dog a vacation of their own by boarding them at Sierra Dogs – a home environment, not a kennel. They’ll play with small groups of friendly dogs, sleep in a soft bed indoors, and enjoy a one-acre play area – while an experienced dog trainer and caregiver lovingly provides for their every need!

  • A quiet, cozy, cage-free home environment
  • Personal attention for each dog
  • Outdoor play and exercise in a fenced one-acre play area
  • Fully licensed & insured
