Expert Dog Boarding, Training & Grooming Services 

Boarding

Your dog enjoys a safe, clean, and caring environment with personalized attention. Each overnight stay includes daily playtime, regular feeding, and wellness checks to ensure your pet feels right at home while you're away.

Training

Personalized dog training through private sessions, group classes, and board-and-train programs—all tailored to your dog’s unique needs. Our training focuses on building good manners, confidence, and a strong bond between you and your pup.

Basic Grooming

Keep your pup fresh and clean with our basic grooming options. We offer gentle bathing with coat-specific shampoos, nail trims to keep paws healthy, and ear cleaning to support hygiene and comfort. These services are available as convenient add-ons during boarding stays.

What Makes Lickskillet Pet Resort Different? 

We’re not a large-scale kennel. We’re a smaller, more intimate facility where dogs receive one-on-one care from professionals with a deep background in dog training. That means your dog isn’t just another guest—they’re part of our pack.

Individualized attention for every dog

Daily wellness checks during boarding

Tailored training programs for behavior and confidence

Add-on grooming services for comfort and hygiene

Our team is passionate about dogs and committed to providing a stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.

After trying different kennels that made me feel uneasy, I definitely did not feel this way about Lickskillet Pet Resort. After meeting Alyssa and her husband Daniel I had no doubt that our Shadow would be in great hands. I could tell on first meeting them both the love they have for dogs and trust me they do love them like their on. Even sending me several videos during each day of her enjoying her walks and puzzle toys. I recommend them 100%!

Love this place! They are so good to our 2 chihuahuas. They give them the best care, send us pictures and videos and give us updates when requested. We feel so much better knowing that they are getting the best care from people who love animals. I recommend them without any reservations at all.
