Dog Daycare Services
Here at Home on the Ranch Dogs, "We Do Daycare, Differently!" We are an enrichment focused, small-group daycare and small-scale home-style boarding that prioritizes the safety and well-being of your pet - mentally AND physically. We understand just how important it is to foster safe experiences for dogs, and not just flood them with excitement and raised cortisol levels.
-
Does your dog enjoy social play in small groups? We can do that!
-
Does your dog prefer solitary walks and quiet times in the shade with a human? We can do that!
-
Does your dog prefer to be paired up with only one other neutral dog? We can do that!
-
Is your dog better off on a long-line with walks in a quiet back field with no distractions? We can do that!
-
Is your dog e-collar trained and needs to RUN off leash? We can do that!
We will consider all types of dogs, big and small, nervous or outgoing - even in-tact males, rescue cases and reactive dogs may all be welcome! We know our limits and strengths, and we're happy to do a free evaluation of your dog to see if we're a good fit.
During the muddy seasons, please remember that we are a primarily outdoor facility and so it is likely that your dogs will be a bit dirty going home!
Boarding and Extended Care
We know just how tough it is to leave your pets behind, and while it may seem easier to bring someone into your home, it oftentimes leaves your dogs alone for extended hours with lonely nights. Here at Home on the Ranch Dogs, your dogs are treated just like our own - in a home-like setting. No lonely nights, no warehouses full of kennels with dozens of other barking dogs... just a quiet, comfy, home atmosphere with lots of human interaction.
If your dogs would like, they are welcome to participate in our Daycare activities - but they aren't required to and we can easily keep them separated and provide activities to nourish their mind and body in individual ways.
We will consider all types and sizes of dogs, but please be transparent with us if your dog has ever exhibited reactivity to small children, aggression to cats, or other dogs, so that we can make an accurate assessment of whether or not we would be a good fit for one-another.

Standard Boarding
Our basic overnight boarding is billed by the night (like a hotel!) - drop off and pickups are anytime during our normal business hours. We welcome your dogs to stay a full day on their last day, giving you time to relax and unwind! Dogs are given comfortable accommodations with spacious 4x5 and 5x6 kennels, raised beds, and spend 90% of their day outside with small group rotations with like-minded dogs, structured walks, or jaunts around our sprawling horse pastures.
1 - 20 Nights, $68/night/dog
21 + Nights, $58/night/dog
Please see below for potential pricing add-ons for dogs that may require additional handling.

Private Suite Rental (Bunkhouse)
Our private suite rental is a small outbuilding we affectionately call the "Bunkhouse." It is set up like a room in a house, and customized to fit your dog's needs. Crates and/or beds provided, fresh water, and private turnout time available to meet everyone where they are at. It is air conditioned and heated, as well as under constant surveillance with closed-circuit cameras.
The Bunkhouse is priced at a premium as all dogs utilizing this option are given extra individual attention, extensive 1:1 time and special handling to ensure their stay is custom tailored as they are generally separated and maintained outside of the daily group play.
BOOK EARLY, WE ONLY HAVE ONE OF THESE ROOMS!
