Dog Boarding
Our climate-controlled boarding accommodations provide personalized care with daily wellness checks, multiple potty breaks, and customizable activity packages. Dogs enjoy group play sessions, private snuggle time, or specialized TLC options for seniors and puppies. The facility maintains strict safety protocols with rubberized flooring and 24/7 supervision by trained staff.
Dog Daycare
Fully supervised daycare offers three playrooms separated by size and temperament, with trained staff monitoring socialization and safety. Services include free introductory evaluation days, live webcams for owner monitoring, and flexible drop-off/pickup times. The program addresses behavioral needs through structured play and mental stimulation while maintaining vaccination and spay/neuter requirements.
Pet Grooming
Professional grooming services include baths, nail trims, ear cleaning, and de-shedding treatments using FURminator technology. The salon offers premium packages with specialty shampoos, teeth brushing, and anal gland expression. Staff conduct skin and coat health checks during grooming sessions while providing options for mat removal and blueberry facials for enhanced pet wellness.

Our training programs utilize positive reinforcement techniques with experienced staff trained in canine behavior. Services include stay-and-train packages from 10 to 28 days, puppy-specific programs, and private play sessions with individualized attention. The multi-trainer approach ensures dogs respond to commands regardless of handler while developing lasting behavioral improvements through consistent methodology.

Our 10 month old puppy had never boarded and I was a little anxious to leave her especially as she is only 8 pounds. I called initially and Michael was extremely informative and friendly while we went through the options for her stay. We scheduled a visit and everyone was extremely friendly. I had a tour of the facilities and was very impressed and noted how spotlessly clean it was. When I picked up our puppy after her stay she was so happy, albeit exhausted from playing with all the other puppies! Throughout her stay I could text or telephone Pet Lover Central and I also had access to the puppy cams for the day care. I would highly recommend and would definitely use them again!

Didn't have a good experience. Won't be back. - Constant barking. My dog was shell shocked when I picked him up. - When I booked with Michael, I wasn't told my 70lb dog would be in a crate. So I was told for another $6/day he could be in a glass enclosure. I agreed but was charged $8/day. - There is a $1/day charge for insurance, per an email they send their customers. I never got the email but had to pay anyway.
I knew nothing about it. - When I booked the stay for over a week, I was entitled to one free day. Of course they forgot to reflect the free day on my bill. Luckily I caught it. - I gave them tons of treats and medication in a large baggie. I never got it back. It somehow got lost per the owner. - My dog pooped 2-3 days worth after I picked him up - My dog had a serious bloody wound from licking his paw.
The owner claims they look at the dogs daily. They didn't look at my dog. I spent about $20 on medication etc. so it would get better. It's still is not 100% healed weeks later. - Enough said

Nice people but my dog needs a little bit more tender love and care when it comes to being introduced to other dogs, not being shoved in a small space with 20 Other dogs on day one. I would have hoped for more communication. They seem too busy. If your dog needs more space and can be nervous at first this may not be the best place for you and your dog.

I can't recommend PLC enough! When we walk in the door my dogs go nuts, they're so excited. Someone is there 24 hours, which is so important to us. Most, if not all, of the surrounding boarding facilities do not have a human there overnight. Everyone who works there is so nice and makes sure your dog will have an incredible, and safe, time. If you need daycare or overnight boarding, definitely pick Petlover Central!
