My dog loves this place. Whenever we get his leash and head towards The Hydrant, he is so happy! They love dogs, very professional and a little pricey but you have a great service and it is worth every penny!
Candace Lauterman
The Hydrant always takes such good care of our pups. You can tell they really love dogs and care about your dogs as if they were their own. We take them here for baths as well as overnights.
Carly Weil
My dog loves going there waggy tail and all. The staff is always so helpful and pet loving friendly. Place is well kept and very clean. We utilize it every time we get away.
Ann Bennett
I've been bringing my dogs since they opened. The Hydrant is truly a home away from home for our pets. All I have to say in the car on the way there is: "We're going to play with your puppy friends!" and my dogs go nuts with joy! They get plenty of socialization and exercise so when we pick them up, they are relaxed and happy. Worth it. Staff is amazing and place is impeccable.
Tara Damato
I take my dogs grooming here. My big dog has a fear of the hoses but they understand and let my other dog bathe with him at the same time to calm them down. They always work with me so they can provide my dogs the best experience. Also my big dog won't go anywhere else now.
Juliana Selina Sanchez
My dog and my family absolutely love this dog hotel. Our dog is welcomed like a celebrity when she arrives. Unlike other hotels from the past, she isn't afraid when we pull up. She is a rescue and she had previously been mistreated so this is very big for her and us. We book her baths and and nail trimming when she goes and we call it her spa weekend. She comes back happy and perfectly well taken care of.
Giovanna Bettencourt
I was hesitant about leaving my dog Frances because she has never been boarded before. They took me on a quick tour of the facility and showed me where Frances would be sleeping. The place was very clean and the staff were very welcoming. They attempted to socialize Frances with a small dog based on what I had told them about her. They noticed she was very anxious with the other dog so they decided to give her one-on-one play with a staff member instead. I would definitely bring Frances back.
Stephanie Trcka
My dogs love going there and they post pictures of their time. Always nice to see my dogs having fun while I'm away.

Dog Boarding FAQs

What accommodations do you have for my dog?

Every dog in our care has their own room to sleep in! We have two different types of rooms for boarding. Our classic suite is a 3’ x 6’ room and our luxury suite is an 8’ x 10’ room with a TV. All suites are enclosed with three solid walls and a glass door. They also include a raised Kuranda bed, blankets, and bowls. Our boarding area is temperature regulated and has speakers to play soothing music throughout the day.

What if my dog experiences a medical emergency?

We have two nearby vets and they are both only a couple of minutes away from us!

Riverhead Animal Hospital
1182 W Main St, Riverhead, NY 11901

East End Veterinary Hospital (24 hour emergency Vet)
67 Commerce Dr, Riverhead, NY 11901

Is anyone with the dogs overnight?

Although we try not to go into our boarding area too much during the night because we do not want to wake anyone up, one of our managers does live on site and has cameras on all of the suites!

Can siblings share a room?

Absolutely- it even saves you money! Instead of paying for two separate rooms, they can share a room for $20 extra per sibling. We can even separate them for feedings if need be. If your dogs are on the larger side, we would recommend having them share a luxury suite.

What should I pack for my dog(s)?

We provide beds, bowls, and blankets for all dogs during their boarding stays. You would just need to bring their food, treats, and any medications necessary. You are more than welcome to bring anything from home that you feel may be a comforting addition to their room. We strongly recommend not bringing beds from home because our washing machine is very strong! Blankets would be a much better option! We also cannot leave any rawhide or other choking hazards in the room with dogs in our care. Other chew toys are allowed, such as Nylabones, Kongs, Benebones, etc. 

My dog is currently on medication. Can I bring that?

Yes, you can! We can administer all topical and oral medications. If you have a special way of sneaking medication in a treat, we definitely suggest bringing that along, too!

What if my dog does not like other dogs?

Not a problem at all! Dogs in our care do not come into contact with any other dog unless you specifically sign them up for group playtime. Everyone is taken out for potty breaks individually. They can also still be signed up for playtimes! We can take them out for a one-on-one playtime with a staff member, also known as a private play.

What if I do not sign my dog up for additional playtimes?

All dogs in our care are taken for regular potty breaks throughout the day. They are walked by a staff member from their room to our spacious fenced yard with artificial grass.

What vaccinations are required for boarding?

For both daycare and boarding we require 3 vaccinations; Rabies, Distemper, and Bordetella. If your pet is not up to date on their vaccinations, there is a 4 day waiting period after receiving them before they can check-in.
