Slumber Party boarding · Ocean Isle Beach

Overnights that feel like a sleepover, not a kennel.

Every night includes a full day of daycare play, morning and evening walks, extra treats and attention from staff — and a free bath at pickup, so your dog comes home clean and worn out in the best way.

Second dog from the same family, sharing the stay

No hidden add-on fees for play time — the daycare day IS the product. Your dog doesn't sit in a room all day because you left town.

Peak dates — published up front

Holiday stays add $10 per night. Here's exactly when.

We're a beach town with a 35-dog cap — holiday demand is real. So we publish the surcharge dates instead of surprising you at pickup. Members get first pick of summer and holiday spots.

2026 peak period	Dates	Rate
Independence Day week	July 3 – July 6	+$10/night
Labor Day weekend	September 4 – September 8	+$10/night
Thanksgiving week	November 25 – November 29	+$10/night

What's included every night

The Slumber Party treatment.

🐾

Full daycare day

All-day supervised group play on climate-controlled rubber floors — not a crate with a walk break.

🌙

Morning & evening walks

Outside walks every morning and night, plus extra treats and one-on-one attention from staff.

🛁

Free bath at pickup

Your dog comes home clean for the car ride. It's included, not an upsell.

Before the stay

Requirements and what to bring.

✔ Required vaccines, verified: Rabies, Bordetella, Distemper/Parvo (DHLPP). Canine Influenza and Leptospirosis strongly encouraged.
✔ Every boarding guest passes our temperament evaluation first — new dogs, start with the free daycare week and boarding unlocks from there.
✔ Recently spayed or neutered? A 14-day wait before boarding protects the incision and your dog.
✔ Meals portioned in labeled zip-top bags; medications in their original containers.
✔ If your pet becomes sick or injured, we contact you or your emergency contact — in an emergency, vet care comes first.
✔ Drop-off and pickup during business hours, Mon–Fri 8am–5pm.

Two kinds of guests

Local or visiting — there's a lane for you.

Live here?

Boarding pairs with membership: members pay $53 a night and get first priority on summer and holiday dates — the ones that sell out. If your dog boards even a few nights a year, the membership math works in your favor.

Visiting Ocean Isle?

Book boarding before you arrive — prepayment is what guarantees the spot. We sell out in summer, and that's not a marketing line. Every night still includes the full play day and pickup bath.

Reserve before you arrive
