Welcome to 1st Choice Indianapolis Dog Boarding

We offer dog boarding, dog daycare (dog sitting, dog watching), and dog grooming on the west side of Indianapolis Indiana. We are a home away from home for your pet, not a "boarding kennel" set-up with concrete dog runs. Dogs are all kept in our home and exercised in our large, securely fenced yard in appropriate groups. Each dog receives individual attention, plenty of outdoor and indoor play time, and treats too - unlike most facilities, this is all at no additional charge. Also, we use "Green" products for cleaning as well as bathing, to be kind to the environment and your pet's health AND we run a webcam for owners to watch their pets.

Remember, we are not the typical boarding kennel, we are a "doggy hotel", an in-home setting that offers full or half day visits, overnight boarding stays and grooming. Coming here is a vacation for your pet, complete with cuddle time and tasty treats! Visit our Photo Gallery to see our dog facilities, grooming, boarding and daycare guests.


Unlike most boarding or daycare facilities, we are not a big cement floor, with run after run, also we do not require your pet be spayed or neutered. We do not believe in big group "play time" due to the high safety risks, but we do give supervised play time to individual homes. Dogs boarding here are never left alone, there is someone here around the clock, not just 7AM to 7PM!
