Everything Your Pup Needs, All in One Place

Whether they’re here for the day or staying the night, your pup is cared for with intention, structure, and lots of love.

Boarding

At night, boarding feels more like a slumber party than a kennel stay. Dogs sleep in their pod with cozy bedding and soft lighting, and a team member always stays overnight.

Training

Our training program is centered on creating a calm, confident dog while strengthening the relationship between you and your pup—not just the trainer and your pup.

  • Laura and the staff are really attentive to our pups! They have great communication if they notice any changes. We also love the photos!! The boys are obviously treated well as they get so excited to come (as you all know from hearing Jaymo come down the road).

    -Ashley A & Henry + Jaymo

  • We love the updates throughout the day and easy communication! I also love the fact that the dogs are grouped with who they play/get along the best. I’m also a huge fan of the photos!

    -Leah & Loki

  • We like the flexibility of drop off and pick up times. Easy to work with our schedules. Love being able to use the app to set up playcare dates and times. We also love being able to send her just one day a week or when needed.

    -Tanya B & Leia

  • The photo updates are the best!! Getting pictures throughout the day makes me smile! Plus, it gives me reassurance that Remi is loved even when she’s at CA! Everyone I’ve interacted with is amazing!!

    -Julia H & Remi

  • I love that it is a small business and it truly feels like family. I love that I can get updates on Sage throughout the day and she is always worn out when she gets home which is perfect after a long day of work for myself too.

    -Maddie and Sage

  • I love all the pictures, videos, and updates each day with the dogs! Not only does CA have boarding & playcare, but they offer EVERYTHING. It’s truly a one stop shop for treats, toys, grooming, pictures, walks, and sooo much more!

Why Companion Acres Is Different

Companion Acres was created for people who see their dogs as family—because that’s how we see them too. Every decision we make is rooted in a caregiver mindset, not a kennel mentality. From the way we structure play to how we wind down at night, our goal is simple: thoughtful, consistent care that feels like home.

We focus on building long-term relationships with both pups and their people, creating a space where dogs feel safe, understood, and genuinely cared for.
