Daycare & Boarding
5-Star Boarding with Specialized Care
At our facility, your dog will enjoy spacious lodging, personalized care, and plenty of playtime.
Whether they’re staying overnight or just here for playful daycare, every dog will receive ample exercise, attention, and care in a comfortable, social environment.
We also offer a day training add on while your pup is with us. We can focus on exactly what your dog needs to succeed!
-
We highly recommend scheduling a Side Kicks 1st Day before your dog’s first overnight stay. This dedicated day allows our experienced kennel staff to assess your dog’s play style and integrate them into one of our four suitable playgroups, as well as help your dog adjust to the new environment.
Please note that if a Side Kicks 1st Day is not arranged prior to boarding, we cannot guarantee that our staff will have sufficient time to introduce your dog to playgroups during their stay.

How we board your dogs
When you board your dog with us, we carefully place them in the play area that best matches their unique personality.
Our knowledgeable staff carefully organizes small, specialized playgroups of 3-5 dogs, ensuring safe and engaging interactions. Each play session, equivalent to a 1-hour walk, lasts until they are tired, then followed by well-deserved rest breaks to keep your pet happy and healthy. After resting they get to go do it again!
We offer four distinct playstyles
Rough & Rowdy
High-energy dogs who love physical play
These dogs enjoy activities like body-slamming, chasing, wrestling, and playful knockdowns.
Playful
Dogs with a puppy-like play style
They often engage in activities such as gentle neck-biting, wrestling, and playful chases.
Gentle & Dainty
The "socialites" that enjoy being around others but prefer more subtle interactions.
Their play mimics cat-like behavior with quick, exaggerated motions but minimal physical contact.
Human Play
For dogs who prefer human interaction over other dogs.
Our staff provides mental and physical enrichment through activities like fetch, food puzzles, tug games, sniffy walks, and more.

Reviews
“Wonderful all around. From the staff who assisted on the phone to the ones who took her in and back out with a report and even pictures of her day! We will be back!”
“Took good care of our pups! We left 4 dogs with them and they all came home happy.”
“As a business owner with a crazy schedule it has been hands down the best experience with SideKick for years. They accommodate, communicate well and always take GREAT care of my high energy pup. The staff are pure class. I would give 10 stars if I could!”
“We left our dog for “Christmas Puppy Camp,” at Sidekick while we went to Florida with his well behaved sisters. I was a bit worried about him playing nicely. They said he did great! He ate his food, he played nicely with others, & he looked great & he smelled so good when we got him. He’s even welcome back! I’m so glad it was such a positive experience for him. Thank you. 😊”
