BOARDING AT THE RESERVE

A better stay while you're away.

The guilt of leaving your dog behind is real.


At The Reserve, time away becomes an opportunity for more of what helps dogs thrive — more movement, enrichment, outdoor time, skilled attention and meaningful social connection than most dogs experience in an average day at home.


Every stay starts with a thoughtfully designed foundation of individual care, outdoor time and restorative rest. From there, you choose what to add—from canine friends and professional training to enrichment, fitness, grooming and one-on-one experiences all designed to ensure your dog thrives.

You come home to a dog who isn't just cared for. They're healthier, calmer and more fulfilled for having been here.

More of what helps dogs thrive.

You love your dog. But even the most devoted dog parent can't be their playmate, trainer, enrichment specialist, walking partner and caregiver all at once.


At The Reserve, your dog has an entire team, a purpose-built environment, and a range of experiences that are difficult for one person to provide alone.


We don't simply recreate a day at home. We create the opportunity for a better one.

Move

Walks, outdoor play, sniffing, fitness and one-on-one activities tailored to your dog's needs.

Learn

Training, practice, problem-solving and enrichment that engage your dog's mind while building useful, lasting skills and confidence.

Connect

Thoughtfully matched social experiences with compatible dogs, plus meaningful 1:1 attention from caregivers who understand canine body language.

enrich

Scent work, puzzles, novel enrichment and opportunities to engage the senses and instincts dogs are designed to use.

Rest

Dedicated quiet periods and restorative sleep are built into every day, because wellness isn't about keeping dogs busy every minute.

Every stay starts with a real foundation.

Every dog who stays with us receives the same baseline of individual attention and wellness care, included in every stay.

1:1 Attention

A private play session with a staff member gives your dog dedicated time to connect, play and simply enjoy being with someone who knows them.

Outdoor Time

Three individual play sessions in our private play yard provide fresh air, a change of scenery and the freedom to explore and use the bathroom.

Elevated Suites

Spacious suites designed for relaxation & wellness,  refreshed four times daily for the ultimate clear experience.. Patio suites include a private turfed patio your dog can enjoy anytime. 

Evening Care

Nightly tooth brushing keeps whole-body wellness in the routine.

Three ways to stay. One standard of care.

BASE BOARDING

A complete stay, intentionally unhurried.

​​For dogs who prefer a calmer, more independent experience—or families who want a beautifully cared-for stay without a packed schedule. Individual attention, outdoor time, comfort and plenty of restorative rest create a thoughtfully tended stay built around your dog's natural rhythm.

BOARDING + DAYCARE

A more active day. A more connected dog.

​For dogs who light up around other dogs, adding Daycare builds on the base boarding experience with more opportunities to move, play and connect throughout the day.


Thoughtfully matched social experiences give dogs meaningful time with compatible friends, while additional movement and supervised play support physical fitness and healthy activity.

The result is a fuller day that supports two essential dimensions of wellbeing: a healthier body and meaningful social connection.

BOARDING + DAY TRAINING

Skills for everyday life. Wellness for the life ahead.

​Training, Enrichment, Fitness, Connection, Care. Day Training isn't an obedience add-on. It's the full set of activity-based lifestyle interventions research shows support a dog's wellness and longevity — delivered in the doses, timing and combination that work, and customized to your individual dog.

Every Day Training Day Includes:

TRAIN

One hour of 1:1 professional training, focused on your learning goals, broken into focused 10–20 minute sessions throughout the day so learning sticks

ENRICH

A customized mental enrichment activity, selected for what engages your dog specifically

EXERCISE

Fitness, spanning aerobic conditioning, resistance work, core and stability exercises, and flexibility — the full range that supports a dog's body, not just a walk around the block

CONNECT

Two Customized social play sessions with compatible dog friends, sized and timed to your dog's social needs

CARE

A brush-out & teeth brushing, because whole-body care is part of whole-body wellness

We don't run every dog through the same routine. The mix, the order, the intensity and the timing are built around what the research shows actually benefits your dog — their age, fitness level, temperament and goals — not a one-size-fits-all schedule.

They come home better behaved, more capable and healthier for having been here.

Customize their stay.

Add the experiences your dog loves.

WHERE THEY STAY

The environment is part of the care.

We designed The Reserve around the way dogs experience the world.

 

Boarding spaces are separated from active areas to reduce noise and disruption. Suites provide natural light and views of the surrounding landscape, with privacy curtains when dogs want to retreat. Private courtyard suites offer direct access to individual outdoor spaces.

 

Daycare play spaces and training areas are purpose-built and separate from rest areas, so socializing, learning and sleeping each get an environment suited to them.

 

Throughout the property, thoughtful choices around air, water, light, temperature, materials, cleaning and outdoor spaces support a cleaner, calmer and more restorative environment.

WHILE YOU'RE AWAY

Peace of mind comes standard.

Leaving your dog in someone else's care is a big act of trust. We take it seriously.

 

We want you to feel connected to their experience even when you're not here.

Daily Wellness Updates

Every day, we'll give you a window into your dog's stay with photos and meaningful updates on how they're eating, resting, feeling and behaving.If they're training, you'll see what they practiced and how they're progressing.If they're socializing, you'll hear about the friends they're connecting with.You're never left wondering how their day went.

Constant Supervision

Dogs are continuously monitored, with a team member on property overnight and camera monitoring.

Emergency Preparedness

If a medical emergency occurs, we'll immediately contact you or your designated emergency contact while coordinating with your veterinarian or preferred emergency hospital.

Thoughtful Evaluation

Every dog completes a trial evaluation before boarding, daycare or day training. This lets us confirm The Reserve is a positive fit and helps us design the stay that's genuinely best for your dog.

Come home to a dog who's better for having been here.

More movement. More enrichment. More connection. More opportunities to learn and explore. More skilled attention. More time to rest.

 

While you're away, your dog gets access to experiences, expertise and opportunities that most homes simply can't provide every day — whether that means a calendar full of new friends, a stay that leaves them with real, lasting skills, or simply a well-tended day of their own.

 

A place where they know their caregivers. Where they see their friends. Where they can move, explore, learn, rest and simply be a dog. Where you can leave them knowing their time away isn't just being managed — it's being made meaningful.

 

Because time apart doesn't have to be time lost. It can be time well spent.

For a longer life, better lived.
