Boarding for Your Big Dog


Finding quality care and overnight boarding for larger dogs is difficult. Many facilities have small kennels, limited play space, and a high volume of dogs. Large dogs need plenty of space to move and run and other larger pups to play with. Big Dog Boarding was built to suit the specific needs of large dogs.

When you board your dog at Big Dog Boarding, you know your canine companions will get all the care and comfort they deserve.

Notes from Our Big Dog Boarding Families


I totally recommend Chris. We had the pleasure of them watching our baby girl Asher. She played ball with her so much that I think she missed Chris. Thank you so much and we look forward to having Asher at your new place in November.

The Wyant Family

Big Dog Boarding took such good care of my dog BB while away on vacation. Chris took him on regular walks and accommodated his shy/timid disposition. Thank you Chris and Bo for the service! Can’t recommend them enough!!

The Chapman Family

I give Big Dog Boarding the highest recommendation for how they care for our dog. Nana is a large English Mastiff and they take wonderful care of her. It is clear they love having her there! I would have no hesitation in recommending BDB to care for your special dog while you are away.

I could spend all day bragging on them!
