Play & Stay, Their Way.

No One Has Cared For More Pets

Just like people, pets have personalities. Whether bashful or boisterous, tiny or tremendous, we’re ready to play, pet or simply adore your Best Friend.

For 20 years, we’ve been delivering exceptional care for your special pet… and peace of mind for you.

Our Services

Durham NC

Whether your pet loves group play or prefers individual attention, we’ll design a vacation package that’s right for him.

Canines can enjoy active play with other dogs, or a walk or fitness session with a pet-loving associate, before a nap in all-suite Doggy Village. Felines can relax in multi-story condos in the sanctuary of Kitty City, away from the sight and sound of dogs.

Add a bit of extra pampering with special bedding or a delicious treat and you’ll leave your pet knowing he or she will have a fun, safe and happy time.
