Our boarding services are offered through our very committed volunteers and preference is given to current clients. We love meeting new animals but require a behavioral and physical health screening before enrolling in boarding services to ensure we maintain a safe and healthy animal environment. In 15 years, we have never had a transmittable illness in our care. This is greatly because of Dr. Mandy's background in microbiology with utilization of sterile techniques, vaccinations, and use of proper quarantine measures. ![Cute dog giving his paw - isolated over a white background](https://www.thegentleways.org/hubfs/Cute%20dog%20giving%20his%20paw%20-%20isolated%20over%20a%20white%20background.jpeg) #### [New Boarding Clients](https://share.hsforms.com/1cpB4JqYKSqeRA-lofRvU3Qe4u54) Please use this form ![Happy family with a dog - isolated over a white background](https://www.thegentleways.org/hubfs/Happy%20family%20with%20a%20dog%20-%20isolated%20over%20a%20white%20background.jpeg) #### [Existing Boarding Clients](https://share.hsforms.com/1JYhMYeEsSJWdPILz0Ly_4Qe4u54) Please use this form ###### Price Plan # Packages For Boarding ## Basic Boarding We offer twice daily feeding, 30-minute social turn out, 15-minute 1-1 supervised playtime, private kennel, with dog TV, and pheromone therapy.

ONLY AND MUST BE KEPT ON SCHEDULE or you may pick up your pet the following M-F business day. Our volunteers have schedules and family, too. Additionally, many of them are working high stress rescue situations. Stability and mental health for your pet is our top priority. We are NOT a commercial boarding facility and operate as a family. ALL of our volunteers are trained by Dr. Mandy in care practices and have passed rigorous background checks. We have live cameras of your pet 24/7 accessible by Dr. Mandy and staff. DOG(s) MUST BE CHECKED OUT BY 10AM (Breakfast time) OR CHECKED IN AFTER 5PM (Dinner time) OR ANOTHER FULL DAY OF BOARD IS INCURRED. In other words, if our volunteers are feeding or administering medication for the day, you have incurred a day of board. Clean fresh water is constantly provided, as well as therapeutic rooms including aromatherapy for the behaviorally sensitive. If your dog becomes socially overwhelmed, your dog will be kept in these rooms and monitored. Please bring your dog’s bed/blanket and consider bringing their own kennel if your dog is exceptionally large or small. ![VCA symbol](https://www.thegentleways.org/hubfs/VCA%20symbol.jpg) ##### VCA ![SpayNeuterNetwork](https://www.thegentleways.org/hubfs/SpayNeuterNetwork.png) ##### SNN ![VERIFIED](https://www.thegentleways.org/hubfs/VERIFIED.png) ##### NonProfit ![ASPCA-logo](https://www.thegentleways.org/hubfs/ASPCA-logo.png) ##### ASPCA ![Platinum](https://www.thegentleways.org/hubfs/Platinum.png) ##### [Brand Name](https://www.guidestar.org/profile/83-3996906) #### About The Gentle Ways The Gentle Ways is dedicated to promoting the well-being of both humans and animals through compassionate and innovative behavioral training techniques.
