The business oers boarding for both cats and dogs, as well as day camp and grooming for dogs. Munoz said the day camp allows dog owners to drop their animals o in the morning and pick them up by 6 p.m. She noted the dogs are allowed plenty of time to play in resort’s outdoor area. “Most of yards are turf, meaning arti cial grass, so no muddy dogs if it rains,” Munoz said, noting the largely shaded space features a miniature water park with a re hydrant and several spouts that shoot water for the dogs to run through.
