Our Philosophy
It's simple really - we want to make a stressful process easier for both you and your dog. Boarding can be anxiety inducing for people and pets, we strive to meet your family where you are in your boarding journey and ease that worry. With over 20 years of industry experience, our knowledgeable team is here to ensure your pet has a safe, happy stay.
Our cottage suites provide a homey feel, while still allowing your pet indoor-outdoor daytime access. Every cottage is equipped with air conditioning and heating to ensure comfort year round. Rest easy knowing we have a backup generator incase of any power outages. All cottages also feature hardwired smoke detectors that are wired directly to our owners phones, and the fire department. They also have temperature sensors for remote monitoring to ensure rooms stay nice and cool.

Your Vacation = Their Vacation
At Under The Oaks, we pay attention to everything. Our suites & patios are designed to prevent common boarding stressors, such as constantly seeing a bunch of other dogs. They're angled to give a better sense of privacy and promote regulation while away from home.
Our goal is simple - to meet your pet where they're at and help them to have the best stay possible.

As a small business, we appreciate our customers respecting our time.
Why do you require flea prevention?
Our facility is surrounded by nature (we are Under The Oaks after all!) and flea preventative helps to keep fleas out of our facility. If your pet is not on a flea preventative, natural or traditional, we will add $2 per day for the application of an all natural flea spray called Wondercide.
No matter what prevention method is used, it isn't guaranteed to keep your pet flea free, but it is the best way to try!
