Our
difference

We've designed the calmest, most comfortable dog boarding and daycare experience out there.

Boutique hospitality

Smaller format with fewer dogs. Suites only boarding. More personalized care.

Elevated design

Why should you have to compromise your dog’s comfort when you leave town? Yardstick was designed to raise the bar for dog hospitality.

Stress-free environment

Room blocks split by dog size, and an obsession with sound reduction.

Commitment to safety

Round-the-clock on-site supervision, a high staff-to-dog ratio, and veterinary partnerships ensure your dog is safe.

Thoughtfully Designed Spaces for Dogs

Each Yardstick location is built with care, blending comfort, safety, and fun. Our elevated environments make guests' tails wag while giving pet parents peace of mind.

What sets Yardstick's boarding apart from other dog boarding facilities?

Our boarding creates a calm, stress-free environment that feels just like home. We differ from many other boarding facilities in the following ways:

  • All guests stay in spacious, private suites — no kennels or crates.
  • Room blocks house fewer dogs, separated by size, to reduce disruptions.
  • Small group daycare is included with your stay, with built-in breaks throughout the day.
  • One night means 24 hours of care with no arbitrary check-in or check-out times.
  • Round-the-clock on-site supervision and partnerships with local veterinarians keep your dog safe.
How do I make boarding or daycare reservations?

We ask that customers make reservations online by clicking the "Book Now" button. Nighttime reservations can be made up to 6 months in advance and will be confirmed instantaneously, subject to availability. In the event there is no availability for your requested date(s), please send an email to your desired location’s respective email address (refer to Locations page) and you will be added to our waitlist.

Our website does not currently support Daytime reservations. Please refer to email instructions on the Locations page to schedule.

What are the hours for drop-off and pick-up?

We are open for drop-off/pick-up between 6:30am - 6:30pm Monday - Friday, and between 9:00am - 6:30pm on weekends.

If you are unable to pick up your dogs by 6:30pm, they will transition to our Nighttime service and you will be billed accordingly.

Do you have 24/7 supervision?

Yes. We are proud to say we have staff on-site 24/7/365 to make sure your dogs are safe and cared for overnight.

What happens if my dog gets sick or needs medical care?

While all of our staff are trained in canine first-aid and CPR, sometimes incidents happen. It's the nature of caring for dogs. We are partnered with local animal hospitals that operate 24/7, as well as with veterinarians offering telemedicine for more minor scenarios. In the event a dog requires urgent medical attention, we will notify you or your emergency contact and immediately transport the dog to the animal hospital for treatment.
