Park-a-Pup is a smaller dog boarding facility conveniently located in Marin County, within the city of San Rafael at the junction of Hwy 101 and I-580. We are family owned and operated for 25 years. 

Our goal is to keep a limited amount of dogs at a time, enabling us to provide individual attention with a touch more personal care for each guest.

We offer several different styles of dog runs. Our main building provides individual indoor/outdoor and heated kennels totaling 12 feet. The inside area consists of a 4 foot unit with doggy-door leading to the outside cemented area of 8 feet. The dogs can decide when they want to go out or stay in. On cold winter nights we do prefer to tuck them in before bedtime and close the doggy door.

Additionally, a section of non-heated indoor/outdoor kennels are available of the same footage for those preferring cooler environments.

For extra large and multiple dog families, Park-a-Pup offers all outside, extra large, covered gravel runs of 20 feet by 6 feet. Multiple and jumbo doghouses are provided for shelter.

All the kennels are covered and provide shade in the summer and shelter from the rain.

Dog bedding, rugs, and a toy can be brought along from home, so that your dog feels secure and comfortable with something from home.

Park-a-Pup is family friendly, offering multiple-dog discounts and special day-boarding rates. Long term care is also available.

 We will provide food or you are welcome to bring your own special food from home while your dog stays with us. We are happy to feed what you bring at no extra charge. Please provide us with your dog's feeding schedule at time of drop-off.

Our play yard is full of fun time toys, balls, wading pool and other objects of interest. If you wish, we can throw the ball for Fido while he stays with us. 

Before you take Fido home, you can have him bathed and dried (dogs only) with a scheduled pick up time. We do not do clipping or trimming, but offer brushing and bathing. We will accept walk-ins for bathing when time permits. A phone call to check for available times is helpful. Baths range from $20 to $40, depending on breed.
