Business (drop off and pick up) hours are 7AM to 9 AM and7PM to 9 PM unless arranged otherwise. Thursday due to Kanine Kollege 4:30-5:00 PM are the preferred evening hours.
Built in 1995 with facilities for 20 dogs. A dog boarded at the "inn" stays in a 4foot by 4foot inside pen which is connected via a guillotine type door to an outside covered run which is 4 feet by 10 feet. Many town zoning rules do not allow dogs to be outside in a kennel setting. The kennel is about 350 feet from Rt. 19 and is in quite a rural setting.
| Service | Rate | Comments |
| Dog boarding | $20.00 per day | May quote more for larger than normal dogs. This is a boarding kennel and while we will deal with special needs such as special foods and medications even though it becomes more demanding do not be afraid to ask. |
| Multiple dogs | $15.00 for 2nd | While we have no carved in stone discount for multiple dogs the second and beyond dogs are ususlly $15.00 each (per day) and cats are $ 6.00 (per day) if they come with a dog. Each dog gets it's own run unless the owner specifies otherwise. There is one double run for a large dog or multiple dogs or a dog staying a long time. |
| Cat boarding | $8.00 per day | |
| Dog shampoo and nails | $35.00 | Some folks like to pick up squeaky clean pets. We may not actually wash or cut the nails at our discression. |
| Taking dog for walk | As quoted | |
| Exercise for dog | As quoted | |

Frequently asked questions
Is there room at the inn? The only times we have had to say no so far has been the March or April week schools are out and the fourth of July weekend and the month or so after that. We like to have people call and make reservations so we know what to expect.
What type of playtime is there at the "inn"? We do not promise any type of playtime. Unless the owner specifies not to take the dog out or we are cautious about taking the dog out they will most likely get to stretch their legs for at least 10 minutes twice a day. 15 minutes four times per day is probably more common.
Will my dog be in any danger of being attacked by another dog? No. The kennel is set up so that the dog only really sees the dog across the hall from it. We do not generally mix and match pets form different owners. If the owner specifies not to take the dog out at all we won't.
Do you use crates to board small dogs in? No. We do not advise leaving a small dog's travel crate in the run because this becomes territory to protect and really does the dog or kennel operators no good at all. Just the bottom half of the crate is fine.
Do people with lots of questions about playtime and exercise actually show up as often as those who just ask if there is space available. No.
At any given time would you say most of the dogs at the kennel are repeat customers? Yes.
Do you accept credit cards? No.
