Everything Your Pup Needs, All in One Place

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

PLAYcare

Think daycare is just for kids? At Companion Acres, playcare is designed to be fun, safe, and thoughtfully structured for dogs of all ages.

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 pupโ€”not just the trainer and your pup.

Add-Ons

Any time you drop your pup off, you have the option to upgrade their stay with thoughtful add-ons like a bath or a fun enrichment toyโ€”perfect for a little extra care!

  • 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. Iโ€™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 sheโ€™s at CA! Everyone Iโ€™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. Itโ€™s truly a one stop shop for treats, toys, grooming, pictures, walks, and sooo much more!

Doggy Dental - Pupsicle Treat Mix
$20.00

No more fighting with your pup to brush their teeth! This first-of-its-kind dental solution works with the Pupsicle to give your dog 20+ minutes of effortless tooth cleaning. Unlike other enzymatic cleaners that are quickly chewed and swallowed, your pup will get extended contact time to support the health of their teeth and gums. Theyโ€™ll think theyโ€™re getting a delicious distraction, but you know youโ€™re supporting their oral health, clean teeth, and fresh breath with every lick! Over 90% of dogs show signs of periodontal disease by age 2, but Doggy Dental Mixโ€™s clinically-backed ingredients can help control plaque and tartar when used as a daily dental habit. The OraTechยฎ dental enzyme blend helps to balance the oral microbiome by targeting the bad bacteria that impact dental health, allowing beneficial bacteria to thriveโ€“while the Pupsicle increases the time the enzymatic cleaners have to work.

Why Companion Acres Is Different

Companion Acres was created for people who see their dogs as familyโ€”because thatโ€™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.
