About Joyspring Kennel LLC

How it started

Not as a business plan. "Joyspring Kennel began 14 years ago. It started not because we said, 'Let's start a Dog Boarding Business!' It started because of our love for dogs. I had a small kennel at the time for our three dogs, and a friend asked if we could watch their dog for the weekend. Our business was born with Pipers first weekend stay. Piper boarded with us for her entire life!"

How it grew

"In 2016 my husband Scott and I saw that the need for more space was needed, which prompted us to build a state of the art 10 run kennel. Our first weekend boarding in our large kennel was Thanksgiving weekend of 2017. We still have the original kennel for boarding space as well which had just been updated the spring of 2020."

What is offered

The headline is boarding with training alongside it: "Dog Boarding & Training," "Daily Walks, Individualized Care," "Dog Training & Obedience Classes," "Certified CGC Evaluators." The site's navigation also lists virtual classes and a breeding/puppies section. Its own line for the kennel: "Where your pet likes to play while you are away!"

Daily care, as described

"Dogs are walked 3 times a day, according to the dogs ability (depending on age, health and behavior)."

Vaccination requirement

"We do require proof of vaccinations including the Bordatella Vaccine and they must be current on them at least 5 days prior to boarding."
