At Dawgs in Motion we refer to our dog boarding service as nightcamp. We accept all breeds, ages, and sizes! Nightcamp is available 24/7, including major holidays when we aren’t open for regular business. Our nightcamp service provides compassionate care for your dog while you are away. With special add-on activities such as daycamp, individual walks and plays, massage, private training, and swimming in our hydrotherapy pool, your pup will have lots to do!

You will receive a full report on your dog, documenting all of their activities while you were away, as well as pictures for our new customers. We have some dogs that may just spend a single night, while others may spend several weeks with us. Your dog will be taken out at least 4 times per day, each time with a staff member to give them some love and socialization.

What is included in Nightcamp?

All of our nightcampers are let out a minimum of 4 times during their day/night with us. Below is a general schedule of our nightcamp times for care and let outs. We do NOT have our outdoor areas connected to the kennels. This means that staff take individual time to handle and care for your dog, bringing them in and outside and spending one-on-one time with them during their let outs. 

5:30am – Let out times begin for the morning. Collars and any clothing etc. are placed back on the dogs prior to going out potty. Breakfasts are given along with any treats and medications (if provided). Bedding is checked and replaced if needed, waters are freshened.

7:30am – PackPlay and EnrichCamp dogs start going out for their playtime based on what groups they are best suited for and what owners have signed their pups up for. Nightcampers that have signed up for solo activities  will begin receiving their activities as well.

11:15am – Afternoon outs begin for nightcampers that are not in group play or EnrichCamp. During this time the dogs receive their lunches, medications, and snacks (if provided). Bedding is checked and replaced if needed, waters are replenished and freshened at this time as well.

12:15pm – PackPlay dogs start going out for their PM playtime based on what groups they are best suited for and EnrichCamp dogs begin their enrichment activities. Nightcampers that have signed up for solo activities will begin receiving their activities as well.

4:00-5:00pm – Evening let outs begin for nightcampers that are not in group play. Bedding is checked and replaced if needed. Dinners, snacks, and medications are given (if provided) beginning at this time as well. Waters are replenished and freshened. Daycare dogs are picked up between now and 6:00pm on weekdays.

7:30-8:00pm – Bedtime let outs start at this time. Nightcampers are then bedded down with any bedding provided or requested. Waters are refreshed and snacks or medications are given (if provided). We remove all collars, clothing, bandanas, etc. at this time for the dog’s safety overnight.

 **If your dog does not do well with handling or is aggressive we would recommend that you look into a facility that offers the connected runs for limited hands-on work with your dog; we are not able to accommodate dogs that are aggressive with humans.
