Boarding Services for Cats and Dogs
Caviar has been licensed for over 15 years.
Cats are boarded only in the house. They have a cat room in which to play and large condos to sleep in.
Caviar has two separate buildings in which to house dogs, one for the big dogs and one for the small dogs.
At Caviar Kennels the dogs have an atmosphere of being free because they can go in and out of their runs through a doggy door
at will, 24 hours a day. They are never kept in a small enclosure. The inside of the runs are anywhere from 3 X 5 to 5 X 8.
The dogs can stay inside and sleep on their kennel beds, curl up in their blankets and listen to music. If they choose to go
outside through their doggy doors, they can run up and down in a good size exercise run beside other dogs, barking and playing
back and forth. They can see each other but they cannot get in with each other. Therefore, they have the feel of being with the
other dogs. They are separated with three foot tall brick walls and sturdy kennel fencing on top of the walls that reach all the
way to the covered ceiling of the outdoor runs.
Some families bring more than one dog and they want the dogs together. They are put in the double wide runs together.
There are two separate kennel buildings. One building is used for the large dog breeds and the other building is used for small
dog breeds and toys. This way the toys do not get frightened by the giants. Both buildings have doggy doors leading to outside, covered runs.
The buildings and connecting outside runs are both built on cement so the dogs cannot dig out. Their are more fences outside of
the runs surrounding the whole area. Their are plastic kennel beds both on the inside and the outside runs for the dogs to sleep on.
The toy breeds also have specially made rubber kennel mats the length of their outside runs and clean bedding is replaced every
day on the inside runs. You may bring your own bedding providing it is not foam.
Clean water is kept in each kennel every day and special feeding requirements are done as the owners request. There is a place
for special instructions at the bottom of the boarding contract. Medication is given if needed but not shots.
In the winter months we have several options for heat. There are individual heating lamps on each run which the dogs seem to
like to cuddle under, there are also two pellet stoves for back up heat if the power is knocked out during a winter storm.
Besides that the kennel beds in each run are manufactured specifically to keep the dogs body heat in at the right temperature in
the winter and also to keep them cool in the heat of the summer.
The dogs all get special attention twice a day when someone goes in each run to check them out, to rub their ears, scratch their
bellies, pet them, throw their toys around and just plain talk to them, at no extra cost to their owners. Doggy treats are given to
all dogs that are not allergic to any specific food.
Caviar provides the food if the dog is used to what we feed at no extra cost. It is a good brand of lamb and rice dog food.
Otherwise, we expect the owners to provide their own food.
We do house sitting at a slightly higher rate of cost. This is only done for very young puppies or small or toy dogs. The dogs
that we house sit for get to play in a large fenced in back yard, and/or are taken for walks through our tree lined forest walk area.
They watch television with me and sleep on my bed with me at night. To say the least, they are spoiled.
All dogs must be current on their shots with a vet record for proof.
We do not accept pits or part pits. We retain the right to refuse any dog we feel is too aggressive to strangers as we do get
in with each dog every day.
A normal type boarding contract is signed when you bring your dog in and also signed when you pick your dog up, just like a day care.
We are usually open seven days a week. Rates and hours may be subject to change, call for more information. Caviar has the most
reasonable rates in town.
