Our commitment to creating a harmonious and stress-free environment is underscored by our zero-tolerance policy for aggressive dog behavior. We firmly believe that every dog deserves a peaceful and secure space, and we take proactive measures to ensure a calm and enjoyable experience for all. With a certified dog trainer on-site at all times, we maintain a watchful eye to identify and address any signs of aggression promptly. This policy not only safeguards the tranquility of our facility but also guarantees a positive and welcoming atmosphere for every dog entrusted to our care.

Food

At Peaceful Valley Dog Boarding, we recognize the significance of maintaining your dog's dietary routine. We understand that consistency in meals and food types is crucial for their well-being. To ensure your furry friend feels at home, we kindly request that owners bring their dog's preferred food during their stay. This thoughtful approach helps us create a seamless transition, allowing your pet to enjoy a comforting and familiar dining experience while they're with us. Your dog's happiness and health are our top priorities, and we strive to make their stay with us as personalized and comfortable as possible.

Health & Cleanliness

At Peaceful Valley Dog Boarding, we prioritize the cleanliness and well-being of our guests. Our meticulous cleaning process involves the use of pet-safe Germicide Disinfectant to eliminate viruses and bacteria agents. Each pet enclosure is treated to guarantee a clean and dry suite upon your pet's arrival. Our routine includes thorough cleaning of walls, meticulous mopping, and scrubbing of all floors and drains. In instances of soiling, we engage in spot cleaning to ensure a consistently sanitary environment.



Throughout the warmer seasons, we extend our cleaning efforts to the outdoor areas, spraying down playgrounds and potty yards regularly. Our daily sweeping and vacuuming regimen is so thorough that it could rival the shedding of a medium-sized dog! We promptly address pet feces, disposing of it in a designated pit for animal waste. For our overnight boarding guests, we provide a morning "tidy" service, which involves tidying up bedding, removing hair, disinfecting commonly handled door closures, and ensuring clean water dishes each morning. Despite the inevitable pet hair, dander, and dirt, our dedicated technicians work diligently every day to maintain a spotless and odor-free environment, ensuring your pet experiences a truly shining stay at Peaceful Valley Dog Boarding.
