Why Us?

Why Dogs Love Almost Heaven

Dogs thrive in environments where they feel safe, engaged, and free to be themselves — and that’s exactly what we offer. With plenty of space to explore, a consistent routine, and friendly faces they recognize, Almost Heaven feels like a second home.

Generously sized indoor/outdoor kennels accommodate dogs of all sizes, and year-round climate control keeps dogs comfortable.

Additional secure, fenced-in outdoor spaces provide ample opportunity for exercise, socialization, and enjoying the fresh rural air.

Wi-Fi surveillance, CCTV monitoring, and 24/7 on-site owner availability ensures a safe and secure environment for your pup.

What Our Clients Say

We make sure dogs and their owners are satisfied when visiting Almost Heaven Canine Resort.

My husband and I are very pleased with the care our 3 dogs received during a 3 day stay. When we arrived, we were given a tour of the indoor and outdoor facility. The kennels were very clean and well organized. One of my dogs had not been kenneled before which was of concern to me. Over the next few days I was sent updates that assured me that he was doing well-including photos! I highly recommend Almost Heaven. We will be returning clients. Thanks so much for the great care Starla!

Oh my goodness, can't say enough good things. It is super clean and the owners feel like family. Our 8 year old Golden retriever, Trace, stayed here. When we picked him up the kids and dad were playing with Trace. Starla was waiting for Trace's reaction when he realized we were there. As soon as I said hey t-bone he came as fast as he could with tail wagging. We will definitely be using Almost Heaven Canine Resort anytime we need to have Trace looked after and loved. Thank you Starla and family.

Our 2-year-old Lab Opie recently stay at Almost Heaven Canine Resort for a long weekend, and it was a great experience! They treated him like family, and it was comforting to get photo updates during his stay. It was his first experience with boarding and it truly felt like he was having a little vacation of his own. They showed genuine care, and I could tell he was happy and well looked after the whole time. If you’re looking for a boarding place that truly cares about your pup, this is it! 🐾❤️

Starla and Jeremy and their little helpers are amazing! Facilities are top notch! Was able to take Charlie for a meet and greet before her visit to get her comfortable with the setting and owners. Got many updates and pictures of my dog, as an overprotective dog dad this put me at ease. Was able to have them do interactive and enrichment puzzles with my dog. Will definitely be recommending to friends and family. Charlie will definitely be visiting again!

What do I bring?

The only requirement is that your bring your dog (haha). We highly recommend that you bring their food to avoid the extra cost associated with providing facility kibble (Purina Pro Lamb & Oatmeal) and to avoid changing their diet up. Some dogs could experience an upset stomach during boarding, but if the diet remains the same, we can rule that out as the cause.

*It is very helpful for the food to be pre-portioned into small baggies to assure they are gettingthe same amount here that they are used to. Example: Your scoop or styrofoam cup at homecould potentially vary from our scoop and cups.

How much would it be if I don’t bring my own food?

Purina Pro Lamb & Oatmeal is a highquality food and is costly - we will charge $3 per meal. For cats, we use Meow Mix TenderCenters which is $1.50 a meal.

What is provided?

We provide everything your dog might need during their stay - Kurandabeds (chew-proof), stainless steel bowls for food and water, bedding, food if needed, and lotsof toys!

Can we bring their favorite toy/blankets?

Yes, we prefer that you don’t bring large beds (the main reason being that if they jump and spill their water or get them dirty from being outside, we do not have a large enough washer to send the bed back home in the shape it arrived.) We do accept security blankets, toys, special articles of clothing - whatever you feel your dogmight be comforted by. Those items are photographed upon arrival and put directly into theirkennel so they are not shared with others.

Do you have cameras so that I can see my dog?

Our facility is under CCTV monitoring 24/7 for safety and can be monitored on livestream by the owners only. If you have any concerns, we welcome you to check-in at any time.

Will you send me updates?

There will an option as an add-on for “Pupdates” during your pets stay. We will frequently take photos for fun and post them into our software that you will have access to but we cannot guarantee that every dogs picture will be there on a daily basis. As the business grows, it is hard to keep up with which dogs have pics and which have not - and editing and uploading takes time. If you chose to pay the extra for the “Pupdate” you will be guaranteed an update of your dog and pictures daily.

Will my dog be with other dogs?

Only within the same facility but separated with kennels. After your dog has been with us for multiple stays, we may incorporate some “pack play” with dogs that are near in size, temperament, breed if the dog owner desires. The first visit is primarily focused on spending quality time with your dog and gaining trust for our facility and our staff. We want them to be as comfortable as possible and not intimidated.

Can my dog be kenneled with their sibling?

Of course, we have options depending on size. Generally, no more than two large dogs would be comfortable but we also have some kennels that are side by side and open for contact.

Do you have an outdoor area?

We have a large fenced in play area, some grass and some is gravel with 6 foot fencing - it is divided into 6 small play areas with 4 foot fencing.

Is your organization a non-profit?

No, we are not. We are a licensed business with LLC.

Do you take rescues?

While we do not board dogs without a family/home, we are absolutelyopen to accepting dogs from any walks of life - whether they have been in your home for a dayor since birth. We will get to know your dog and their temperament and let you know if it is nota good fit or if any problems should arise.
