What overnight boarding looks like
Boarding here is more than a place to sleep. Dogs stay in climate-controlled private suites with elevated, padded beds and enjoy a minimum of four play periods a day at no extra charge. Each play period includes time outside in our dog park, with a naptime from 12 PM to 2 PM so everyone stays rested, and our staff keeps an eye on your dog throughout the stay.
During a Houston heat wave — or for flat-nosed breeds — we shorten outdoor sessions to 5 to 10 minutes at a stretch to keep every dog safe. Once your dog is introduced to a playgroup, they stay with that same group for the whole visit, which helps them relax, make friends and settle into a rhythm.
Accommodations & what's included
Match the suite to your dog and your budget:
| Suite | Room size | Rate / night |
|---|---|---|
| Standard Suite | 3' × 3' | $40 |
| Standard + Suite | 5' × 3' | $50 |
| The Hideaway | 5' × 5' | $55 |
| Penthouse Suite | 15' × 12' | $65 |
Every stay includes the four daily play periods, elevated padded bedding and free daycare. We keep your dog looking their best while they're with us, too.
Pricing & deposit
Boarding starts at $40 per night for a Standard Suite and ranges up to $65 for the Penthouse Suite. Daycare is included free with every stay. A $25 deposit per pet holds your reservation at booking, and the balance is due at pickup.
There's no minimum stay — your dog is welcome for as little as one night. Pricing and policies are subject to change; see our cancellation policy for deposit and no-show details.
Before the first stay
What to bring: your dog's usual food (we're happy to feed their regular diet), any medications with instructions, and a familiar comfort item if it helps them relax.
- Request a stay on our appointment form or call (713) 820-6140. Same-day and walk-in boarding are welcome too — an appointment is preferred but not required.
- Send current vaccination records. They're required at initial intake, and emailing them ahead makes check-in fastest.
- Settle in. On the first visit your dog completes a one-time $25 temperament assessment so we can place them in the right playgroup, then we get them comfortable in their suite.
Health & safety
For boarding, every dog must have current Bordetella (Kennel Cough), Distemper and Rabies vaccinations. The Influenza vaccine is not required but is highly recommended for added protection. We can only accept vaccinations verified by a licensed or registered third party.
The one-time $25 temperament assessment confirms a dog isn't toy-, water- or food-aggressive and checks how they respond to our staff and to other dogs. It's how we place each dog in the right playgroup — not a pass/fail test. Suites are climate-controlled and dogs are supervised throughout their stay.
Will my dog be okay?
Leaving a dog overnight is hard, especially the first time. We keep dogs busy and social by day and rested on a schedule, and consistent playgroups keep stress low. Our facility also has webcams, so you can watch your dog anytime through the free LTS-Connect app and see for yourself that they're happy.
Stays for every reason
Vacation, a work trip, a family event or the holidays — whatever takes you away, your dog gets the same comfortable suite, daily play and attention from people who know their name. With no minimum stay, we're just as glad to see your dog for a single night as for a two-week trip.
Pair with grooming & daycare
Grooming is at the same address, so you can add a bath or full groom and your dog comes home fresh instead of smelling like a kennel. Daycare is already free with every boarding stay, so your dog's days are full of play whether they're here for one night or ten.
