At Howliday Inn Pet Resort, we know leaving your four-legged best friend with us is a big decision. To help you feel confident (and your pup excited!), here are answers to the questions we get most often.
We’re a one-stop shop for tail-wagging fun! At Howliday Inn, we offer boarding, doggie daycare, light grooming (fur & nails), and top-notch training programs. Whether your pup needs a vacation of their own, a place to burn off zoomies, or a little polish on their manners, we’ve got it covered.

Boarding starts at $50 a night for kennels or $60 for a suite (because some pups prefer the VIP treatment). Have a sibling pup tagging along? They can bunk together for just $30 more per night. Want to spoil them? Add fun extras like a pup cup, peanut-butter Kong, or frozen enrichment bowl.

For everyone’s safety, pups must be up to date on distemper/parvo, Bordetella, and rabies. Don’t forget to bring proof when you check in!
Of course! Give us a call or send a message — we’d love to show you where the tail-wagging magic happens.
