Boarding at Sol Dog Lodge

A comfortable retreat—not just a place to stay

At Sol Dog Lodge, we believe boarding should feel like a calm, comfortable retreat, not simply a kennel. We provide a safe, personalized, and caring boarding experience for every dog in our care, along with open, consistent communication so you feel confident and connected while your dog is with us.

Every dog is treated as an individual, with routines and enrichment tailored to their needs, preferences, and personality.

Boarding Options

We offer two boarding options: Standard and Premium. All boarding dogs are out of their kennels 5 – 6 times per day for regular potty breaks and movement. The primary difference between the two options is the amount of daily enrichment and activity provided. Active or high-drive dogs may benefit from Premium Boarding, while more sedentary and senior dogs may do best with Standard Boarding.

Standard Boarding – Starting at $70

Includes at least one enrichment session per day, customized to your dog’s needs and personality.

Premium Boarding – Starting at $85

Our Premium Boarding program is designed to provide each dog with a more engaging, customized experience during their stay. Each day, premium boarding dogs receive a mixture of high intensity and low intensity enrichment. We tailor enrichment sessions to your dog’s individual needs, energy level, and preferences.

What is Enrichment?

Enrichment That Meets Your Dog’s Needs

Enrichment refers to providing activities and experiences that support a dog’s mental, physical, and emotional well-being. These activities allow dogs to express natural behaviors in safe, appropriate ways—helping reduce stress and promote balance during their stay.

At Sol Dog Lodge, enrichment is never one-size-fits-all. Activities are selected based on your dog’s energy level, preferences, and comfort, and may include:

High-Intensity Activities

  • Walks
  • Playgroup (for social dogs)
  • Treadmill exercise
  • Structured play with toys
  • Pool and Sprinkler play (weather permitting)

 

Low-Intensity / Mental Enrichment

  • Food-based enrichment (Kong, puzzle feeders)
  • Scent games
  • Calm engagement activities
  • Impulse control exercises and light training
  • One-on-one connection time with staff

Rather than focusing on a set time per session, we focus on the quality and purpose of each activity. For example, a walk paired with a short training session may be one enrichment session if it meets that dog’s physical and mental needs.

Playgroups are carefully matched by size, play style, and energy level, and group size is typically kept under six dogs. Some dogs also benefit from one-on-one play instead of a group setting. If your dog prefers not to participate in play groups, they will enjoy individual enrichment time with our staff instead.

Our kennel team takes the time to learn what each dog enjoys, allowing us to customize every stay for a positive, low-stress experience.

Photo updates are sent throughout your dog’s boarding stay, so you can see them relaxing, playing, and enjoying their time with us.
