Happy Dogs

When you travel

Travelling often with a dog is hard to plan. Here’s why, and how a stay with us makes it easier.

Makes it a lot easier to plan trips.

Leaving Bella for a Trip

1What you’re seeing

…if I traveled, where would they stay? Would they feel like they were abandoned?

— One of our parents on camera,

…I am completely paranoid about leaving my dog with anyone.

— Katy M.,

…my pet-sitter fell through while I was already out of the country…

— Danielle D.,

2Why it happens

A trip means somebody else looking after your dog, and a plan that can fall through while you’re away. The reality is that each dog is unique and depending on your dog’s particular needs and preferences, the answer is very different.

When boarding, your dog is not alone and will have plenty of other pups to play with. This enjoyable stimulation can be a distraction, alleviating separation anxiety.

3What we do

  • Boarders sleep in the room they played in, on a cot or in a pile of friends, never in a crate, with 24/7 on-site supervision.
  • An email with photos and how they ate, every day they’re with us, and you can text us any time.
  • Watch your dog live on mobile or desktop.

4What changes

The trip becomes something you plan, not something you dread.

I travel a lot and when I’m away, I don’t want to have to think twice about if Bella’s safe…I feel really comfortable taking her here.

— One of our parents on camera,

I’m very nervous leaving our pup with anyone, but I never worry when he’s at Happy Dogs.

— Kara R.,

…after boarding he is so happy it seems like he had a vacation too!

— Katy M.,
