Think Starcrest when you need to board your dog.  Our motto "Where Your Dog is the Star" is well meant.  At Starcrest we specialize in individual care for the pet while you are away from home.  While we can't be "mom and dad", we are dedicated to providing the best alternatives.  Starcrest is a traditional kennel where dogs enjoy their own indoor/outdoor kennel runs, 6x8 feet on the inside with a connecting 25 feet outdoor run.

Dogs have access to the outside portion of their run from 6:00 AM to 8:00 PM.  Chutes are then closed for the night, cookies are distributed, and we say good-night.  But we don't leave them alone, even then.  We live here on the grounds, and can hear any nighttime disturbance.  All inside kennel runs are climate controlled.  We provide bedding that is washed on alternate days.  We also give toys - in case you forget to bring something your dog likes to play with.

We serve two meals a day.  The kennel diet is based on  lamb and rice kibble mixed with meat, or, in case of finicky eaters, chicken and rice homemade in our own kitchen.  We really love dogs, and it shows.

We also have 25 foot long outdoor runs where our canine nature lovers can rest in "dogloos" during the day, but they sleep in an indoor climate controlled kennel, too. There is lots of action in our "park" area, and youngsters really love it.  

Dogs are individually exercised daily in one of three huge grass compounds.  We have 10 green acres here, and space is not a problem.  We do not believe in group sessions for your dogs where contagion can spread or accidents can happen.  Instead, a human handler supervises all three compounds as part of his/her job.  Yes, our kennel assistants have a very specific job description.  Part of that is playing with the dogs.  Please remember we do not accept dogs that show any aggression towards people.  "Talking dirty" to other dogs is okay.  

Sorry, because of the high probability of stomach torsion and "bloat" in some breeds, we cannot board Great Danes.  

If you find yourself with a trying schedule don't worry about your dog.  We provide day care.  Dogs are treated exactly as if they were boarding and, since we're open from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM, we can accommodate most working schedules.
