We offer both private accommodations and "family" quarters for households with multiple pets. Each of our canine and feline guests receives a warm welcome, a comfortable, secure den with connected exercise run and the personal attention of Markim's experienced staff.
The Next Best Place to Home for Your Dog or Cat!
Under the supervision of our professional and caring team, dogs are exercised daily through an outdoor play session, either privately or with a group of canine friends, and cats are lodged in a spacious "Kitty Quarters" and can take advantage of an exclusive "Cat Lounge", where they can play under professional supervision. If your pet requires special attention, medications, and/or care, we can accommodate any special needs your pet requires.
One supervised exercise session daily is included, and additional sessions can be arranged for a small charge. Want more? You can even arrange a swim in our pet pool or order a special afternoon snack for your dog.
Food, bedding and an afternoon treat are included in our daily rates. If your dog has a favorite blanket or toy, please feel free to bring it. If special food is needed, please let us know.
