Luxury boarding has arrived at Pet Me Scratch Me! Click here for pricing and policies.
This service is one that has been needed in the La Crosse area for as long as we can remember. We’ve lived here since 2003 and have always wished there was someplace like this locally that we could bring our dogs to when we went out of town. We’ve had to drive over an hour away in order to find something similar. Although there are many local kennels in the area, we were looking for something different, something special. Someplace we knew our dogs would be given lots of love, attention and fun. We wanted to feel like our dogs were happy to be going on “vacation”!
As soon as we opened our doors for daycare in 2006, we have been asked time and time again to offer boarding. Many of our customers asked us why we didn’t just allow dogs to stay overnight in daycare with each other. Although that sounds like it would be a good idea…why not, they play together all day…but from Stacy’s previous work experience at a “cage-free boarding” facility, she learned that this was not usually in the best interest of the dogs. When dogs are away from their home and with a new pack, they really need their space at night to get their rest. As many of you can attest to, daycare really wears your pups out and without catching up on their sleep at night, many dogs will grow tired and cranky, just like people! They simply cannot get quality sleep at night in a cage-free environment. This can lead to many problems in daycare. Pet Me Scratch Me has always placed the safety and well-being of the dogs in our care first and foremost. Stacy saw first-hand the safety issues that were created by providing “cage-free boarding” and refused to put our 4-legged friends in harm’s way. That’s why when we began building our new facility, we decided to add luxury boarding space to our plans.
Our new Luxury Suites will provide the best of everything for your pup while you are away. Heated floors, large comfortable beds, televisions, music and many fun excursions that your pet can participate in during his stay. Each Luxury Suite will have its own window!

Are you thinking your dog might be playing all day in daycare and just needs a comfortable, cozy and private space to crash at night? Then you’ll want to book one of our Bungalow Suites! These suites provide a nice amount of space, comfortable beds and many fun excursion options.
No matter which suite you choose, your dog will be given numerous trips outside each day to one of our expansive and secure outdoor areas. We will have more than one outdoor play area and both are completely secure. It will be impossible for your dog to climb or dig their way out. We also have the ability to thoroughly clean each area, allowing us to comply with our strict cleanliness standards.
What about our feline friends? We will not be offering cat boarding in our new facility. Cats do much better in their own homes so we will be offering PET SITTING SERVICES! This is also a great service to utilize if you have more than 3 dogs or a dog that gets particularly stressed when staying away from home.
We are still working out the final details in regards to pricing, hours and policies but keep checking our website in the weeks to come for the most up-to-date information!
We are very excited to begin offering this aspect of pet care. It fits in naturally with our other services, and since so many of your pets already play with us during the day, it will be like sleeping over at a friend’s house when they stay with us! We are looking forward to the extra fun and many snuggles we will soon be giving your pets!
