Why families choose us

We built the place we wanted for our own dogs, then opened it to yours.

Indoor + outdoor runs

A dog door your dog controls, with outdoor access from dawn to dusk. They decide whether to be in or out.

Real play time

Four play yards, capped at nine dogs each, so nobody gets lost in the crowd. Weather permitting.

Daily pupdates

Photos of your dog, sent to you every day of their stay.

Free bed, cleaned daily

Every dog gets one, every day, at no extra charge.

Medication care

We administer drops and pills at no extra cost. Non-injection medications only.

We live 400 feet away

Built on a shared dream — and named for Dominic

Dominic’s Doggie Den is a family business, and it carries a family name. We built it about 400 feet from our own front door, so if a dog needs us, we are there in under a minute.

Each month we donate 5% of our bookings, up to $1,500, to the Dominic Sevier Forever 13 Foundation. When you board your dog with us, you are part of that.

Your dog, on our page, every single day

Every dog who stays with us gets photographed, and those photos go up for everyone to see. Owners send them to family. Family sends them back. It is genuinely the best part of running this place.

Come find your dog in the comments — or better yet, get them in the next post.

Questions we get asked

Where are you, exactly?

We are at 18721 SE 45th Service Rd, Dearborn, Missouri, about 15 minutes north of Kansas City International Airport and right off I-29. There is plenty of room to pull in and turn around.

Can I see the place before I book?

Yes, and we would rather you did. Call us on (816) 533-8011 and come walk through the building and the yards. We would rather you see it than take our word for it.

How do I make a booking?

Reservations go through our online booking portal. A one-night deposit confirms the reservation and holds the spot.

Will I hear anything while my dog is with you?

Every day. We photograph the dogs staying with us and send those photos to owners. There is no live camera, for the privacy of the other families boarding with us.

Do you live on site?

We live about 400 feet from the kennels. If a dog needs us we are there in under a minute, day or night.

Ready to book?

Holiday weekends fill up early. Reserve your dog’s spot online, or call and we will talk it through with you.
