Play All Day, Rest Peacefully All Night!
That's our simple, straightforward philosophy when it comes to boarding your family pet. For no extra fee, your dog can interact with the other guests all day long. They'll enjoy themselves while getting plenty of exercise. And not to worry... Our outdoor play yards and indoor play rooms are fully supervised.

run-a-muk guests are free to leave their sleeping quarters bright and early in the morning and remain out until dinnertime when they are fed safely and separately from their playmates. After dinner, they are allowed out for another 2 hours or so before being tucked in for the night. All this for one flat fee, no surprises and no extra costs!

What run-a-muk Unleashed! Offers
  • Interaction, socialization and lots of exercise all day every day.
  • Peaceful sleep and stress free nights after active, fun-filled days.
  • 24 hour supervision, attention and care. Our "Watch Dog" lives on site so your pet is never left alone
  • Medications administered at no extra charge
  • The convenience of drop off/pick up seven days a week
  • Complimentary bath for all overnight boarders
Cats are also welcome. Our indoor "cat-nap" facility, separate from the dog area, is equipped with plenty of climbing and scratching areas and comfy snoozin' spots. Kitties will receive just as much attention and affection from our team of professionals as our canine friends, but will not require a temperament evaluation.

What You and Your Dog Can Expect After Your Visit
Normal pack play stimulates your dog in a way that may not happen at home. Constant exercise has a mellowing effect on dogs. Don't be alarmed if your dog seems to sleep more than usual upon returning home. There is so much activity at run-a-muk; most likely your dog won't want to miss a thing and will expend much more energy than when he is at home lying around. Particularly with single dogs, the return home can be a bit of a letdown - they miss all their new friends, the constant animation and, frankly, home just seems a bit quiet. Therefore it is not unusual for dogs to "rest up" or appear to be a bit down in the dumps after a vacation with us. Don't worry - they will soon return to their normal selves.

Because our guests are outside for much of the day playing and running on a variety of surfaces (gravel, dirt, bark and tarmac), your dog may experience tender feet. Until his feet 'toughen up', you may notice him walking gingerly or licking his paws. This is completely normal and nothing to be alarmed about. Additionally, normal pack play can involve roughhousing, and your pet may occasionally get nicked or scratched. At the end of each day, every dog is inspected and first aid is applied if deemed necessary. Of course, you will be notified if your pet has sustained any injury that requires further attention.
