Your Dog's Low-stress Alternative to Big Box Boarding
Experience You Can Trust
No Group Play
Your dog enjoys one-on-one care without the stress and unpredictability of large group play sessions.
No Mixing Unfamiliar Dogs
We never mix unfamiliar dogs, creating a safer, calmer environment for every guest.
Private Playtime 3x Daily
Every dog receives three private outdoor play and exercise sessions each day with personalized attention.
Small by Design – 10 Dog Limit
We intentionally limit our boarding to just 10 guest dogs, allowing us to provide exceptional care and individualized attention.
Why Choose Us
Experience the difference of personalized, home-based dog boarding where your pet's comfort, safety, and happiness always come first.
NO Group Play
We don't believe in group play. Nope, never, not here. It's just not safe!
In fact, your dog will never be exposed to another dog here at Rawhide Ranch. When your dog is having exercise time in our 1/2 acre fenced yard, all the other dogs are locked away in their kennel, giving your dog a stress-free, private exercise time.
Never more than 10 dogs
We are small on purpose. Being small is key to creating a low-stress boarding experience for our clients.
Because we are small, our daily routine is simple - much like it is at home - without the constant hustle bustle you find in a big kennel.
As a result, your dog gets plenty of sleep. Sleep deprivation is a major cause of stress-related kennel fatigue
Unique Facility Design
I designed this kennel with two things in mind. Your dog's safety, and eliminating unnecessary stress.
The kennels all face one direction, and walls between kennels and private patios are four-inch-thick masonry. Your dog feels safe in his cozy, private quarters without feeling alone.
The results? Peace and quiet! Dogs have the chance to sleep for hours undisturbed - just like at home, without the stress of constant barking.
Other kennels have copied my design, but have doubled the size and/or allow group play. We remain the only kennel like this in S Central KS.
