Friendly Farms Pet Retreat Let ‘em Stay While You’re Away
F
RIENDLY FARMS PET RETREAT IS A LUXURY DAYCARE and boarding facility for domesticated pets offering stays for the day or overnight. Friendly Farms Pet Retreat services pet owners with busy lifestyles, who need an alternative daycare for new or active pets or overnight stay as a comfortable option for the pets while they are out of town. Unlike many facilities that offer standard kennel-care and a narrow play or outside time, Friendly Farms offers an alternative option. Their services include kennel-free boarding and customized care. With twenty-two spacious suites available, Friendly Farms Pet Retreat will allow your pet to avoid the stress of travel or the boredom of being home alone. Pets are welcomed and loved here, which is a stark contrast to many hotels. Our services allow owners to have peace of mind and confidence that their extended family members are receiving quality care in soothing accommodations, while they are away from their normal, everyday environment. The facility combines a loving, relaxing atmosphere and interactive play time that is essential for healthy pets. Suites come in various sizes to meet the need and request of pets and parents. All overnight guests enjoy tv time during inside play and calming music during evening hours for relaxation while resting. There are also addons available, such as a bedtime banana bite or individual ball time. Or, how about snuggle time or a popsicle treat? Whatever the need of your pet, Friendly Farms has you covered. The individualized care offered at Friendly Farms is unique and one of a kind in the area, making us your go-to facility for pet boarding. Pets attending daycare are treated to a day of play and socialization. They are separated into groups of like sizes and temperaments. Fun begins at 9 a.m. and lunch is served at noon. Nap and rest time is from 1 p.m.- 2 p.m. and afternoon games are from 3 p.m.-5 p.m., then back inside to await pick-up by parents. Daycare offers a great alternative for pets that experience separation anxiety or become easily bored when left alone. We also offer add-ons for daycare, such as potty training for our babies or simple command sessions for our teens! Packages are available for multiple days purchased at a reduced rate. Days never expire and are not required to be used consecutively. We work with your schedule for a hassle-free routine.

Outside play is included for all pets whether boarding overnight or attending daycare. Our small outside play area is divided into four play zones with artificial turf in each area, so pets stay tidy. We also have a larger play area for our bigger guests or those who just want to enjoy stretching their legs with a good run. When weather doesn’t permit extended play time outside, there is a large inside area for play time shenanigans. Pets can enjoy a padded play area with buckets of toys or lounging on the leather sofa watching satellite television. Our feline friends are not forgotten at Friendly Farms either. There are four spacious, three-tiered condominiums for our cats. Separate levels allow for resting, eating and littering apart from one another, as is preferred for cats. Toys are provided for enjoyment and window box seats in French Provincial decor offer sunning opportunities in style. Each guest is provided 30 minutes of interactive play with staff and one-hour uninterrupted play times for activities of their choosing. Sounds, such as flowing streams or songbirds, lull our kitties to bed in the evenings. Friendly Farms Pet Retreat offers a variety of salon services, as well. Whether you’re here as our guest or you scheduled via appointment, there are several spa packages to choose from with exclusive add-ons such as pad and nose moisturizers or essential oil treatments.
