Boarding

We'd love to have your dog as our guest!

Heading out of town and need a safe place for your canine companion to stay? We have you covered!

At Paws & Pals Pet Resort, our beautiful private suites are a modern-day approach to traditional pet boarding. Each unit is clean, comfortable, and climate-controlled and has plenty of space to accommodate large breeds or multiple dogs from the same family. Instead of wire cages, we house dogs in suites with large glass fronts that provide excellent views. Your furry best friend will also get to enjoy a comfy bed and plenty of peace and quiet while staying with us.

We charge by the night just like a hotel, and you are free to check your dog in or out any time our lobby is open. Our standard checkout time is 2 pm. We are open on Sundays and some holidays (excluding Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day, and New Year’s Day), and we do not charge extra for administering medications, special feedings, or personalized care. With all of the amazing amenities, it's no wonder so many south Twin Cities metro area residents choose us when they are in need of dog boarding in Prior Lake, Savage, Lakeville, and the surrounding areas.

New Boarding Customers

We require a first-day evaluation for all new boarding customers. During this evaluation, your dog will be slowly introduced to our staff, facility, and a few dog friends. To schedule your first-day drop off please call or email us. Once your dog passes the evaluation, you will be free to schedule their next reservation.

Dog Boarding Requirements

We require all our guests to be at least four months old and fully vaccinated against:

Rabies
Parvo-Distemper
Bordetella (current within the last 6 months)
All guests over the age of 7 months must be spayed or neutered

We ask that you bring hard copies of your dog’s vaccine records along with their food and any required medications. Treats, toys, and chew bones are optional, but we do not accept rope toys or rawhides. We also ask that you do not bring bowls, bedding, of blankets. We may, however, make an exception and allow you to provide a blanket or bed from home if your dog is extremely nervous, suffers from separation anxiety, or destroys bedding.

We do a first-day evaluation with each guest to ensure they will do well boarding with us before their stay.

Frequently Asked Questions

We will introduce your dog safely and slowly to a few dogs and then ultimately to an entire play group of like-sized dogs with similar temperaments. We will watch your dog closely to make sure they are displaying proper canine body language and not demonstrating any aggressive or destructive behaviors. We watch very carefully to make sure your dog is having a good time playing with the group. The first thing that will happen is almost every dog will want to “greet” your dog. They will circle each other while sniffing noses, necks, and bottoms, and then go about their day. This is a proper greeting in the canine world. Aggressive dogs will usually not react well to all the dogs sniffing them. Non-aggressive dogs will react to all that sniffing by being friendly or submissive. Oftentimes play bowing and/or a fun game of chase will occur. Over time, your dog will naturally gravitate to other dogs who have a similar play style.

It’s very possible that your dog will be timid or shy at first. However, using natural canine body language to communicate, he’ll learn valuable social skills such as being polite, not playing too rough, and respecting his elders. It takes most dogs a while to fully develop their social skills. Most dogs love the activity and interaction with their new friends.

Please call us to discuss the specific issue and we will decide if our service is the best option for your dog. We want to make sure that every dog that stays with us has an exceptional experience.

We are more than happy to administer basic medications, including insulin, at no charge. However, we will not administer a prescribed medication that is required to be done by a veterinarian. Please bring a sufficient supply of the medication, any other necessary supplies, and the prescription bottle that has the veterinary directions. Please call us to discuss any concerns, special considerations, or requests.

Our staff is trained and certified in Red Cross Canine First Aid and CPR. Several are also trained Veterinarian Technicians. We have the experience to deal effectively with the majority of common issues. If necessary we will take your dog to your Vet Clinic, if it is open. However, if needed for more serious issues or emergencies, we are less than 5 minutes from an excellent Vet Clinic that offers extended hours and urgent care. We will take care of all transportation.

Lots of TLC and personal attention
Spacious private suite with a comfy bed
5 to 6 hours each day of supervised group play or activity
Feeding, fresh water, and giving any treats provided
All medications administered as directed, if needed
Daily room service to clean and freshen suite, wash bedding if needed
Access to live webcam system to view your dog playing
Relaxing and calming music (For a Dog’s Ear) during break times and overnights

The first-day evaluation can be done at any time provided that we have space available. Ideally, the first-day evaluation should be done as early as possible as we cannot guarantee that we will allow your dog to stay with us. The extra time also gives you the option of scheduling a couple of days of daycare if your dog is anxious and needs more time to acclimate to our resort.

You can drop off your dog anytime that our Lobby is open. If your dog has never stayed with us before, it is better to drop them off a few hours before our Lobby closes for the day. This will allow them time to get more familiar with their surroundings and will help them to feel more comfortable.

Boarding Policies

We are happy to administer oral or topical medications or supplements to your pets! Medication must be in the original prescribed container with the prescription label adhered.

Please bring enough food for the duration of your pet's boarding stay. You must provide individual prepackaged containers or Ziplock bags with your pet’s name and food measured by meal or a meal packaging fee of $3 per day (max of $15 per boarding stay) will be applied to your pet’s invoice. Canned food and meal toppers are accepted in their original container, but must be labeled with your pet's name.
