Why families choose Niles Dog Lodge
We are not a large commercial kennel or high-volume daycare. Our focus is on providing dog care in a smaller, calmer, owner-run setting where safety, fit, and personal attention come first.
Small and home-based
Your dog stays in a private home environment, not a crowded facility, with a limited number of dogs at a time.
Fully fenced yard
Dogs enjoy outdoor time in a secure fenced yard for play, movement, and fresh air throughout the day.
Approval required
Every dog must be a good fit for our setting. Meet and greet approval helps us keep the environment safe and comfortable.
Daycare
Daycare in a small setting for dogs who do well with routine, outdoor time, and a calmer group environment.
Boarding
Home-based boarding for owners looking for a more personal alternative to a traditional kennel or large boarding facility.
Policies
Vaccination requirements, meet and greet approval, and behavior standards help us maintain a safe small-group environment.
Vaccination + fit requirements
To protect every dog in our care, we require up-to-date vaccinations and approval through a meet and greet to confirm that each dog is a good fit for our private, home-based environment.
