Social Dog Boarding

Whether you need basic boarding in a fun and safe environment, or you want to pamper your pet while you are off pampering yourself, The Dog House Inn of Gilroy is the place for you.

All of our overnight canine guests will enjoy playtime in one of our huge 4 indoor or 2 outdoor play yards, guided by The Dog House Inn's expert caretakers.

After a hard day of play, each guest will spend a relaxing night whether they prefer an individual crate, a lengthy dog run or a bedroom suite. 

If your dog has trouble socializing with other dogs, please read about the Board and Behave program through our training partners, Dog Behavior Rehab.  Together we have successfully rehabilitated hundreds of dogs through this program, and welcome these dogs back as ÒnormalÓ boarders regularly.

Boarding Pick-Up Times:

  • All boarding includes: dog daycare, bedding, meal preparation, and medication administration.
  • Proof of updated Rabies, Distemper, and Bordatella vaccines is required.
  • Please package your dogÕs food in Ziploc type plastic bags. You may bring large 40 pound bags only if your dog is coming for a stay of 10 days or longer.
  • Any guest boarding 5 days or more is welcome to a free bath.
  • A daycare charge of $15 will apply for late pick-up (after 10:00am). 
  • Boarding dogs that are not picked up by 7:00 pm (M-F) or 4:00 pm (Sat-Sun) will be bedded down for the night, and you will be charged the normal boarding rate for that night.
  • A pre-boarding evaluation of 1-2 hours of daycare play is suggested, if you want your dog to be socially boarded.  Please call to set up an appointment. We charge the standard hourly rate of $5/hour for this. This will allow your dog(s) to get used to the idea of being dropped off and picked up from our facility, and make the transition to boarding stress-free.
  •  If you know your dog is unfriendly with other dogs, then please let us know. We will make arrangements for them to be walked and pottied separately. If you are interested in resolving this behavior, please ask us about a Dog Behavior Rehab program that will fit your dogÕs issues.
