The Ultimate Pet Care Experience
BILL & DAWN'S HOSPITALITY INN 4 DOGS
Your dogs are special and you love them. But there are times you need someone else to take care of them for a while.
That's Where We Come In!
Bill and his daughter Dawn pride themselves on fostering dog-to-dog and human-to-dog relationships.
Bill is retired and has experienced the joys of being a “dog person” for 58 years. For 33 years, Bill has bred and shown collies (in dog shows). He and Dawn have whelped many litters, raised countless puppies – and found them “forever homes” while enriching the lives of many families with their new family members. He has also owned many breeds.
Bill’s daughter, Dawn, has been a pre-school teacher for over 40 years, who works with her father as co-owner and has also experienced the joys of being a “dog person” for the last 54 years.

Meet 'n Greet
If you are like us, you need to entrust your dog(s) to someone you feel comfortable with. This is why we insist on a “Meet ‘n Greet” policy for everyone’s benefit.
We have two dogs. One is a rough Collie, almost 3 years old, with a compassionate heart and a playful attitude. The other is a 1/2 miniature pinscher, 1/2 dachshund, who we adopted from a non-profit rescue shelter. Both dogs have great temperaments and make your dogs’ stays enjoyable.

No Kennels or Crates
All dogs have the run of our home all day long. We spend time with and monitor all guests, day and night. Each one receives personal attention and sleeps in one of the human-occupied bedrooms. We are open Weekdays, weekends, and Holidays, too!
We have a high-walled, large-sized backyard, and your dogs are supervised when outside. They are let out many times a day to play and do their thing.
Check out our many reviews. We are very proud of them. Our guests and their parents say it all!

Reviews
Y GainesTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Provided great doggy daycare service for my pug! Dawn was informative, friendly, and professional. She also sent pictures and provided a few updates throughout the day. I will happily bring my dog back next time I’m in the area Nita JohnsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband and I were extremely pleased to have found Bill’s Hospitality Inn 4 Dogs! We were taking care of my sister’s dog after her car accident and didn’t have much time to locate a kennel before a trip. I did’t know a lot about the dog, Lucy, and was having trouble on my own getting her to eat. I was also nervous about leaving Lucy for a week because she had also been in the accident and was still shaken. Bill was truly wonderful and a life saver for us and especially Lucy. Bill was able to get her to eat and he and his daughter, Dawn, were very helpful and loving towards Lucy. I especially loved that the dogs that stay at Bill’s can go anywhere they want in the house and lie on the covered furniture. Bill knew I was so worried about Lucy and he was kind enough to send me photos of her while we were gone. I don’t think you could find a better place for your dog than Bill’s!! Very highly recommend. Lucas MeridethTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bill looked after our Australian Cattle Dog Dixie for a week. Dixie is a high anxiety dog that takes time to get comfortable with someone. I have only left her with family in the past when I went out of town. We were very nervous to leave our girl with someone new. Bill took amazing care of our girl Dixie and kept us updated with photos every day. Dixie had an upset stomach while she was at Bill's and he took exceptional care of her altering her diet until she felt better. Having our girl with Bill helped put us at ease so we could enjoy our trip and after a few days Dixie fell in love with him. When we picked her up I was shocked and a bit jealous to see she wanted to give Bill and his daughter kisses too! I would highly recommend Bill and look forward to using him again in the future. H MTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bill has boarded my dog a couple of times for a week each time. He is an experienced dog breeder and does a great job making my skittish terrier feel comfortable and safe in his home. We had a meet-n-greet appt. prior to boarding, which was great, as it insured my dog was a good fit in his home. I bring food, a food bowl and my dog's bed and leave my furbaby with Bill, knowing she's in great hands. Bill has a large, fenced, escape-proof backyard and his own dogs help to welcome any canine visitors. He texts pictures during my dog's visit. My dog sleeps snuggled up right beside Bill, which she doesn't even do with me, even though I'd welcome that! I'm trying not to be hurt by that fact - lol - but she obviously loves him and he is my go-to boarder. Thanks Bill! Alice WambaaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently boarded my very energetic Lab Nala for 3weeks. I was anxious about leaving her for so long but Bill was great with her. He was very patient and gave me updates and photos of her. I would highly recommend Bills Hospitality Inn 4 Dogs. Randy SkolnickTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bill's attentive. He takes good care of the dogs. Makes sure everyone will get along. My dogs like to be there. They get excited when we pull up. Karen MarbleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Recently, I boarded my high maintenance ten year old dog with Bill for over a week. She came home happy and relaxed unlike when she has previously stayed at crowded kennels. It was obvious that she was comfortable and well-cared for by Bill. I also appreciated the updates with photos that Bill provided during the week. Thank you Bill! Suz HighTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Bill is great and I would definitely recommend that you visit his Hospitality Inn 4 Dogs! He has watched my fur boy for both short and long term visits. My dog loves it there… he runs to the door when we get out of the car! (That never happened at other places.) Very chill vibe and everyone in the pack seems to get along. Gives me peace of mind when I am out of town.Load more
