Dog Boarding

At Just Happy Dogs, located just across from Depew Park in Peekskill, NY, your furry friend is truly part of the family. Your furry friend’s day is filled with fun activities—playing with packmates, enrichment activities and a brief walk (weather permitting) or romp in the fenced-in backyard. Now, it’s time to relax with their pet guardian hosts, have a peanut butter snack and settle in for TV watching with our pack.

While our pack goes to bed for the night, rest assured, our guests will not be alone. One of the owners will be right there with them, making sure they are comfy and secure.

Of course, bedtime soon approaches and it’s time for our guests to say good night to our pack.

Until the morning, then, when another fun day awaits, unless, of course, it’s time to pack up and await your guardian’s arrival for the return home.

You’ll be missed, my furry friend. Until the next time…

Our Dog Boarding Rates

We know that the only reason you are entrusting Fido to our care is because you can’t include them in the things you need to do and the places you need to be. While we are sad you can’t take him or her along, we are honored to be his temporary guardian. That’s why we don’t box you in to a specific drop-off or pick-up time. Rather, our rates are based on a rolling 24-hour period. For example, drop off at 10 AM, pick up by 10 AM on the departure date. And, of course, if your plans change, we are happy to accommodate that as well.

Our dog boarding rates fall into three categories:

• The Overnighter:
  • Nights 1-15: $79/night
  • Nights 16-29: $77/night

What to Bring

Sure, we have plenty of toys and fun things to do to keep your pooch occupied and comfortable in his home away from home but if your furry friend has a special toy or other item that will make him or her feel more at home, we encourage you to bring them with you when you drop off your pooch. No need to lug a heavy bed or crate or bring a food bowl. But, don’t forget, we do not crate your furry friend so we cannot be responsible for any damage to items left with him or her. Dogs will be dogs.

You’ll also need to bring enough food for their stay. For dry food, please portion your pet’s food in individual baggies per meal. For canned or any refrigerated food, please make sure your pet’s name is on the container. If your dog requires any medications, please make sure you bring that with you and that your pet’s name is clearly marked on the container.

If your dog has any allergies or special needs, please make sure you bring that to our attention during the Meet n’ Greet and note it on the application.203
