Book by location:
Daycare. Boarding. Grooming.
One place that gets it.
daycare
Your dog has 800 things they want to do today. None of them involve sitting home alone. Structured play groups, real socialization, and staff who actually know their name.
Boarding
Trust us to provide a cozy and secure home away from home for your beloved pets, so you can enjoy peace of mind while they enjoy their own vacation.
Grooming
From "smells like outside" to embarrassingly photogenic in under two hours. Bath, trim, nails, the works — so they walk out looking better than when they walked in.
Built for pets. Trusted by the people who are
unreasonably obsessed with them.
Every dog. Every cat. Every "wait, you board those?"
Dogs, cats, lizards, birds, pigs, parrots, hamsters, turtles — if you love it, we'll take care of it. There's a reason we're called The Ark.
Daycare is always included with Social boarding.
No surprise line items at checkout. Your dog plays all day, sleeps in their suite at night, and you pay one straightforward rate. Simple as that.
Indoor play yards. Pet cams. High-end suites.
We built The Ark for pets who have opinions about where they stay. Integrated audio, outdoor play yards, and live cams so you can watch them forget about you.
Trained eyes. Trained hands. Dog people.
Our crew knows the difference between rough play and a problem, and handles both. Your pet is in the hands of those who treat this like the job it actually is.
Don't take our word for it. Take theirs.
I've used The Ark for daycare, boarding, and grooming for over 10 years. Every single time, the quality of care blows me away. My fur babies are always in the best hands.

Staff has always been extremely friendly and helpful. Very responsive to requested changes. Dogs appear to really like their visits. They get excited when arriving for boarding.
Clyde - Madison, AL
The facility is clean, the staff is loving, and Taz is obsessed with daycare. When we travel without him, boarding is just a long daycare day. He comes home happy every time.
