Wondering what your furry friend’s daily routine will be like while boarding with us? At On Command Dogs, we ensure your pup stays active, well-fed, and cared for throughout their stay. Here’s a peek into a typical day for our boarding dogs, designed to keep them happy, healthy, and stress-free.
Morning Walks and Breakfast Our day starts early, around 5:30 AM, with the first round of leash walks in our secure, fenced backyard. These walks are scheduled every 2-3 hours to provide plenty of opportunities for exercise and bathroom breaks. Breakfast is served starting at 6:00 AM, ensuring your dog gets the energy they need for the day ahead. If your dog requires additional feedings, we’re happy to accommodate up to three meals a day. Midday Activities and Playtime Throughout the day, your dog will continue to enjoy regular walks and, if they’ve passed our daycare evaluation, they can join our daycare group for social playtime with other friendly pups. Daycare offers a fun, enriching environment with opportunities for exercise, mental stimulation, and socialization. Best of all, daycare is included at no extra cost, provided there’s availability in the group. (For more details, check out our daycare services.) Evening Meals and Final Walks Dinner is served around 7:00 PM, and your dog’s evening wraps up with additional walks to ensure they’re comfortable and ready for bed. The final walk of the day takes place around 9:30 PM, providing one last chance to stretch their legs before settling in for the night. Bedtime and Overnight Care Once all walks are complete, it’s bedtime for our boarding guests. We dim the lights to create a calm, quiet environment that promotes restful sleep. And rest assured, your pup is never alone—our facility is staffed 24/7, so there’s always someone on hand to monitor and care for your dog, even during the night. A Day Tailored to Your Dog’s Needs At On Command Dogs, every dog receives personalized care and attention. Whether your pup thrives on playtime, prefers a calm routine, or has special dietary needs, we’re here to ensure they have a safe and enjoyable stay. If you have any questions or specific requests for your dog’s boarding experience, don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re committed to giving your pet the best care possible while you’re away! Boarding your dog can feel like a big step, but with a little preparation, you can help ensure your pup feels right at home. At On Command Dogs, we strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for your furry friend. To make your dog’s stay as smooth as possible, here’s a breakdown of what to bring—and what to leave at home—when boarding with us.
What You Can Bring We encourage you to bring items that will help your dog feel more comfortable and maintain their routine. Here’s what we allow:
What You Should Not Bring For safety and practicality, there are certain items we cannot accept:

Accidents and misplaced items, though rare, can happen. Preparing for a Stress-Free Stay At On Command Dogs, we’re committed to making your dog’s stay as enjoyable as possible. By following these guidelines, you can help ensure your pup is comfortable, well-cared for, and ready to have a great time.

If your pup requires medications, supplements, or vitamins during their stay, we’re happy to help administer them. To ensure everything runs smoothly, here’s a detailed guide to our medication policy, including what we accept, what we don’t, and how to prepare for your dog’s stay.
Medication Administration Fee Administering medications, supplements, and vitamins requires careful attention and adherence to your pet’s routine. For this reason, we charge a daily $5 administration fee for these services. This fee helps ensure our staff has the time and resources to properly care for your dog’s health needs. What We Accept To maintain safety and consistency, we require all medications, supplements, and vitamins to meet the following criteria:
What We Do Not Accept For the safety of all pets and staff, we are unable to administer:

When a dog stays overnight with us they will get walked multiple times throughout the day. The first walk is at 5:30am and the last walk is around 9:30pm. During the day the kennel techs walk the dogs every 2-3 hours. The dogs are walked on leash by a kennel tech in our backyard that is surrounded by fencing. If your dog also participates in daycare or has passed our daycare evaluation, and is spending the night with us, they will get daycare time during the stay (no “fees” attached). I have two dogs, will they get to stay together? We have many families that have two, three, and even four dogs who board with us. For this reason, we have kennels of varying sizes to accommodate all party sizes. Our typical kennel size is 5’x6’, we have suites that are 9’x9’, and many other kennels of differing sizes, including 2 kennels that are 5’x11’. Conveniently, our overnight prices stay the same no matter what the kennel dimension. So in that case, your dogs will be boarded in the same kennel with plenty of leg room. What should I bring for my dog when they board? The most important thing for boarding is proof of vaccinations from a licensed veterinarian. Required vaccines are Distemper/Parvo, Rabies, and Bordetella. Bring enough food for your dog’s scheduled stay and a couple extra meals for any unexpected delays. If your dog requires any medications or vitamins please pre-measure dosages and provide administering instructions on drop off. A couple of toys of no monetary value and some treats are always welcome. We do not keep your bowls, leashes, or collars, we supply our own. |
