Every Stay Includes

More Than a Place to Sleep

From the moment you drop off to the moment you pick up, every detail is handled — as well as some add-ons to complement their stay. No nickel-and-diming on the essentials — this is what’s included with every boarding reservation.

Healthy Pet Program

Automatically included with every stay — not an add-on or opt-in. Every guest is assessed each night and day they’re with us, and it helps cover eligible veterinary expenses — up to $500 per incident, up to $1,000 per year — if your pet becomes ill or injured during their stay.

Professional Supervision

Trained Karnik University–certified staff on-site throughout the day, every day. After hours, your dog is cared for and accounted for before our team leaves, and our facility is protected by state-of-the-art security and fire alarm systems that alert both our staff and the fire department around the clock — plus a camera system our team can check remotely, anytime.

Spotless Facility

Hospital-grade cleaning protocols throughout. The suites, runs, and play areas are cleaned and sanitized daily.

Bedding Provided

Cozy lamb’s wool bedding in Classic Suites, a Kuranda raised cot in Deluxe Suites, and a premium raised bed in Luxury Suites — comfort at every tier.

Daily Exercise

Every dog gets scheduled potty walks daily. Exactly how much activity — from the essentials all the way up to non-stop action — depends on the add-ons and packages you choose for your pet’s stay.

Add-On Services

Activity packages, one-on-one playtimes, spa & grooming treatments, Kong treats, and enrichment toys — optional paid extras (not included in your base rate) available to make any stay even more special.

Animal Planet On TV

Luxury Suites feature a flat screen TV with Animal Planet playing — a calming, familiar background for your dog.

Peace of Mind

Luxury Karnik Kams included in every Luxury Suite. Call us anytime — our team is always here for updates.

Luxury Suite Feature

Watch Your Dog Anytime with Karnik Kams

Every Luxury Suite comes with its own private camera — the Karnik Kam. Check in on your dog from your phone, tablet, or laptop, day or night, wherever you are in the world. No app download required.

It’s one of the most-loved features at Karnik On Black, and one of the biggest reasons families choose the Luxury Suite. Seeing your dog napping comfortably or chasing friends around the yard while you’re at work or on vacation — that’s real peace of mind.

  • Private camera for each Luxury Suite
  • Accessible 24/7 from any device, any location
  • No app required — simple link access
  • Share the link with family and friends
  • Included at no extra charge with Luxury Suites

Camera transparency doesn’t stop at the Luxury Suites — we run cameras throughout our daycare play areas and common spaces too, so our team (and you) can always see what’s happening.

“We’ve been boarding here for 10+ years. Every single time, our dogs come home happy and healthy. The Luxury Suite cameras are incredible — we check in from vacation and it makes such a difference knowing exactly how they’re doing.”

★★★★★

“The facility is spotless, the staff genuinely loves animals, and the suites are nicer than some hotels I’ve stayed in. My golden retriever practically runs inside when we arrive. This is the only place we’ll trust with her.”

★★★★★

“My anxious rescue has never done well anywhere else. Karnik’s team took the time to learn his quirks, kept me updated throughout his stay, and sent him home calm and content. I cannot say enough good things about this place.”

Common Questions

Dog Boarding FAQs

Everything you need to know before your dog’s first stay. Still have questions? Contact us — we’re happy to help.

What vaccines does my dog need to board at Karnik On Black?

All boarding dogs must be current on: Rabies, DHPP, Leptospirosis, Bordetella, and Canine Influenza (both strains, both doses). Vaccination records must be on file before your pet’s first visit. View full vaccination requirements →

What are your boarding drop-off and pick-up hours?

Monday–Friday: 6:30 AM – 6:30 PM
Saturday–Sunday: 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM

Please allow at least 30 minutes prior to close when dropping off or picking up your pet.

Arrivals and departures are not available on Easter, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, or New Year’s Day. Please plan accordingly for holiday travel.

What’s the difference between Luxury, Deluxe, and Classic Suites?

Our Luxury Suites (12 available) are approximately 8’×8′, with a premium raised bed, private ceiling fan, Animal Planet on TV, and a private Karnik Kam camera. Our Deluxe Suites (30 available) are approximately 5’×8′, with a Kuranda raised cot. Our Classic Suites (24 available) are approximately 4’×6′, with cozy fleece blanket bedding. All suites include the Healthy Pet Program and professional supervision throughout the day.

How many dogs can stay in one suite?

Each suite accommodates up to 2 dogs from the same household. This applies to all three tiers — Luxury, Deluxe, and Classic. Boarding two dogs together in the same suite is a great option for keeping companions comfortable during their stay.

Can I add grooming or daycare to a boarding stay?

Yes — grooming and daycare are popular add-ons to boarding stays. A bath & brush, nail trim, or full groom can be scheduled for departure day so your dog goes home looking and smelling great. Daycare can be added to keep dogs active and social during multi-night stays. Just mention it when booking.

What is the Healthy Pet Program?

The Healthy Pet Program is automatically included for all lodging, daycare, and grooming guests. If your pet becomes ill or injured as a result of their visit, it helps cover eligible veterinary expenses — up to $500 per incident and up to $1,000 per year. If something ever doesn’t seem right, please contact us first — we care deeply about every pet in our care and want the opportunity to help. Learn more about the Healthy Pet Program →

Is Karnik On Black a kennel?

We’re a premium pet resort — not a traditional crate-based kennel. Every dog gets a private suite (not a crate or a run shared with strangers), daily supervised outdoor exercise, and professional enrichment-based care. We’ve been doing this since 1973, and the difference shows in our reviews and repeat clientele.
