The Country Break
Dog Boarding & Overnight Care in Salem, Oregon
Boarding at Penny & Pals is $62 a night and works differently: every night includes a full day of daycare. Your dog plays all day in a temperament-matched group, then winds down with an evening walk and a tuck-in to a private, cozy suite — with photo and video updates to you, daily.
What's included
Every night of every stay
- All-day daycare included, every day — boarding dogs are never left in a kennel while others play
- Private, cozy overnight suite — quiet, climate-controlled, their own space
- Evening wind-down walk & tuck-in — a calm end to a big day
- Daily photo & video updates — see for yourself that they're thriving
- Fresh-air mornings, country sunsets — the routine dogs actually love
Peace of mind, built in

Boarding questions, answered
How much does dog boarding cost in Salem?
The Country Break is $62 per night at our founding rate, and every night includes a full day of daycare. A 10-day daycare pack and holiday & long-stay rates are also available — see the pricing page.
What's included in an overnight stay?
Every stay includes all-day daycare, a private cozy suite, an evening wind-down walk and tuck-in, fresh-air mornings, and daily photo and video updates sent to you.
Where does my dog actually sleep?
In a private, cozy overnight suite inside our climate-controlled barn — never in an outdoor run and never crated with strangers. You'll see it on the meet-and-greet tour.
Will I get updates while I'm away?
Yes — daily photo and video updates, every day of the stay, plus webcam access during daytime play.
What are the boarding requirements?
Same as daycare: current Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella vaccines, spay/neuter over 7 months, and a free meet-and-greet day before the first stay so your dog already knows us.
Do you board over holidays?
Yes. Holiday and long-stay rates are available — holidays book out first, so reserve early. Weekend drop-off and pick-up windows make travel days easy.
