Services
Dog daycare is great for energetic, social dogs that enjoy playing off-leash with other dogs of similar size and play style. During play, your dog benefits physically from exercise and mentally from obedience games. Daycare is not meant to socialize a dog that is afraid or aggressive toward other dogs.
Our office must receive your pet's vaccination records at least one week prior to your reservation. This will allow for time should your pet need a vaccine or update. Please note the Bordetella and K-9 influenza must be given at least 5 days prior to check in. Email, text or a guaranteed Facebook post of your pet during the stay, you can choose which days.

This doggie day care is the BEST! Colleen, Chris, & the staff genuinely love animals and I know my fur baby is in good hands. My pup is always greeted with excitement as he prances off to spend the day at doggie daycare. This has been great for him to socialize and learn to be a apart from me. Highly recommend North Main Pet Lodge if you're looking for a safe & friendly space for your fur baby.

This is a great place for daycare! I have been bringing my 1 year old pup Luna to North Main Pet Lodge since she was 6 months old for daycare. Luna is a quarantine puppy and I wanted to make sure that she was properly socialized during this critical time. North Main Pet Lodge has been a great place for her to grow, makes friends and get out that puppy energy. Colleen and Chris are great! I know that I am leaving my pup in great hands. I love seeing pictures of Luna having fun on their Facebook page.

I use the pet lodge for daycare and boarding when I go out of town. Chris and Colleen are always kind and attentive to my dog and I love that they share stories about her day, Its always fun seeing the photos they share too. I know my dog loves hanging out with them, when we pull in the parking lot she jumps up, her tail starts wagging and she can't bolt in their door fast enough. I appreciate the love and care they provide for my sweet girl while I am at work or on a get-a-way. I would recommend the Pet Lodge to anyone looking for a great place for your dog to get in some playtime or

I have been taking my dog Jasper to North Main Pet Lodge for 6 months and I’m extremely pleased with the quality of their services. Chris and Colleen have a lot of experience working with pets and it is evident by the care and attention they give each of their customers. I especially like that there are supervised play times to ensure everyone plays safely. I trust the care of my pet for both daycare and overnight boarding with North Main Pet Lodge!

We love North Main Pet Lodge and have used it for our cat for the last 8 years. The cat facilities are large and the enrichment provided by staff keeps our cat happy. We know he is safe and well looked after which gives us peace of mind. This is all besides the fact that the owners and staff are responsive, friendly and caring :)

I absolutely love this place! I cannot rave enough about it. My little pup friend has been going since we adopted almost a year ago. I love the care and attention he gets as well as the feedback about his behavior with other dogs. They've helped me be a better friend and know how to navigate his socialization. They love their customers, and truly take care of each pup as their own.
Highly recommend! You will love them too.

I tried out the day care option for my pup Peaches prior to me scheduling boarding for her over the Christmas holiday. I'm always reluctant to leave her alone but the front staff was so warm and inviting. When I came to pick her up one of the staff members came out and gave me a full blown report of everything she had done for the day (walks, group play, etc.). Needless to say, I feel very comfortable leaving her in their care and I'll be waiting to review them on their boarding!

We have been kenneling our dogs here for quite a few years. They have always been happy and healthy when we've picked them up. Owners are very nice and personable. They even managed to make my horribly unfriendly toy poodle like them. She hates everyone! They are a bit pricey, but you get what you pay for. I highly recommend them. Of note, when one of our dogs passed away from lymphoma in March, they were nice enough to send a condonence card.

We have been using North Main Pet Lodge for many years now. They offer good care, reasonable rates, add-on options (walks, play groups, etc) and have a wonderful staff.
The staff is attentive, kind and loving towards our dogs. Always give us peace of mind to know that our pets are being kept healthy and safe when we are away from them.

Veterinarian recommended!
+ Wonderful staff
+ Excellent care
+ Reasonable rates
+ Flexible (as a regular I have never had a problem even with last minute reservations they are always accommodating)
+ Our veterinarian highly recommends them as they are the only boarder to ever legit contact them if an animal seemed ill. Most places not so much.
+ Choice of their food or your own
+ No charge for special diet food prep
+ Add-on options for walks, socialization and grooming (pick 'em up smelling and looking great!)
+ Animals must be current on their vaccinations--lots of places do not adhere

I left my 4-year old Labrador at North Main Pet Lodge for
8 days and included 3 - I gallon bags of cooked food and
2 container of cottage cheese to supplement the 4 cups
of kibble they supplied.
Upon my return I found that he had lost 2-3 pounds and
was given back some of the cooked food and cottage
cheese I supplied.
I could see and feel the bones on his rib cage. They
said that it was a result of him being "active" at their
kennel.

Absolutely pleased with the North Main Pet Lodge!
I recently went on an international trip and chose this pet lodge to board Luci, my 6 month old puppy, here for three weeks while I was gone. During my trip I was in and out of wi-fi. I had my boyfriend check in on Luci a few times and I couldn't have asked for anything better than what I received! I got pictures and videos of Luci playing and walking and relaxing, both from my boyfriend as well as from the North Main Pet Lodge. She looked so happy to be there and make new friends!
The pet lodge even kept in touch with my boyfriend via email

My Family and I have been taking our Yorkie/Silky Terrier mix to the Pet Lodge for years now! Sometimes we would have to make last minute arrangements for his stay here and they were more than happy to accommodate if they have room. When you check-in your pet, you can provide food, toys, bedding, and food bowl for the staff to use during your pet's stay. They have always returned all the items that we left with them, I have never lost an item while my dog was boarding.
The staff has always been very kind, loving, and attentive to our little guy. When we come to pick him up after his stay

This is Penny's, my german shepherd, home away from home, or I should really say "spa" away from home as she's so pampered and loved while she's there. She loves the frozen yogurt stuffed kongs and lots of individual attention! Danielle, Cheri, Austin, Sean, Melissa, Gina and Ben all do amazing work taking care of her when I'm not able to take her with me on travel.
I love that when we walk though the door of North Main Pet Lodge my puppy is already tail-wagging happy to see the folks there, and that they know her by name without looking her up on a computer.

Really pleased with North Main Pet Lodge, especially the good care and personal attention they gave our dog during his stay. This is a family owned operation, and they really know what they are doing. Will definitely be back -- this is now our preferred dog sitter!
I especially like the upgrade options they offer for overnight stays, including 1 on 1 time with the dog, group play, various walks, and evening treats. We signed up for a couple of those extras, and they noticed which ones were effective for our dog and which ones weren't as effective. They proactively adjusted the play time so that

Yesterday I had an emergency and had to book my cat, Torte, last minute and they were amazing.
Ben led Torte and I to the second story of the kennels where the cats are. The lower has the dogs, but you can't hear the dogs or the traffic in the cat kennels. It's completely soundproof. Each cat has a large enclosure, no crates to be seen, there is some low music playing, it's warm, does not smell, each cat has a window, and several shelves to climb on in their enclosure. They set up a new litterbox, a covered bed that I put Torte's snuggle blanket in, and If you forget bowls

Don't let the urban surroundings scare you off, we have been going for 13 years and highly recommend them. They are a family-owned business, and Chris is proudly carrying on the second generation of pet care. My dog helped choose them for me--she came back sad, cowed and dirty from other kennels, but is always happy to arrive at North Main, and comes back happy (and a little tired).
