About Us
Welcome to Sutton Place Pet Boarding
Sutton Place Pet Boarding is a small business located in Bluefield WV not far from the Hatfield McCoy trails.
We are located 1 mile From Glenwood Park off of Route 20 in the Rock, Glenwood area. On the map I fear we are
referred to as fussy creek. :-) I do believe that was named well beyond our time,
Sutton Place specializes in selective group play during the day. We separate dogs into pairs or groups in one of our 5 dog park play and train areas We do mostly kennel at night but take each dog on a case-by-case basis. Every dog that comes will not be a candidate for socialized play.
It is always in the dog's interest to start training him to kennels for nighttime rest because it is a safe secure place to be during feeding
times, break times and to get a little down time for the dog. Too much activity can actually lead to stress and exhaustion, not to mention
injuries. Like most thing's there is a happy medium for dogs to receive the optimum benefit from socialized play,
Most of the dog's that I take care of belong to local residents and the same dog does many repeat visits by either daycare, grooming or boarding. I occasionally do take new dogs, but it is on a case-by-case basis while determining if the dog is a good fit for our environment. There are plenty of actual kennels in our area that are kennel only, so our area offers plenty of options for your dog's needs.
Currently we try to keep our overnight visitors to a maximum of 10 guests at a time. There may be some daycare and grooming clients running around but they don't actually spend the night,
We are in the process of adding 10 new kennels to our already 22 available kennel spaces with a beautiful view of our newly renovated Koi Pond for 2023.
When you come to Sutton Place you should bring your dog's meals, if dry, portioned by meal. I don't really have space for large bags of food unless your pet is staying and extended time, Canned food bring as is unopened. You may bring blankets, toy's, treats and any medications your dog needs. Please bring the same food your dog eats at home and the same medications your dog takes at home while they board at Sutton Place,
We do not accept every dog that applies to attend Sutton Place because of high demand and nature of our service. We are a home-based small family-owned business. Because the style of care I provide I do not have a lot of extra humans running around. In this environment more people can actually cause more stress and attention-based misbehavior of dogs. Once you are established as a customer, we stive to be here for you and your dog, even on short notice when life happens unexpectedly.
Our #1 rule is that our humans stay in the first gated area when dropping off and picking up their pets. The worst bite I ever got was when a customer walked thru our gated area, ignoring all sign to not enter and I walked out my kitchen door and her dog got startled, went into protection mode of its human and bit me. It is a scar that I will wear for the rest of my life of the dangers of owner dog reactive behavior.
Love, Hugs and treats are always free.
