What Makes Our Daycare Different
Tired of feeling guilty that your dog is bored at home while you’re away?
Too busy to spend quality time with your pup?
At Fairview Boarding, Western North Carolina’s only enrichment-based dog daycare, every dog enjoys a day filled with purpose, play, and personalized attention.
Unlike traditional daycares, we focus on individual activities that satisfy each dog’s unique needs—keeping minds sharp, tails wagging, and hearts happy.
Give your dog more than just daycare—give them a day designed just for them.
THE ENRICHMENT EXPERIENCE
At Fairview Boarding, we are much more than a traditional daycare, we specialize in activities and exercises that engage your dog's natural instincts, encourage problem-solving, and prevent boredom. Whether it’s through interactive toys, scent work, puzzle games, or obstacle courses, our enrichment provides a meaningful outlet for your dog’s energy and curiosity.
Like us, dogs need more than just physical exercise to thrive. Without mental stimulation, even the most active dogs can become bored, anxious, or develop undesirable behaviors.
Our enrichment activities help balance your dog’s physical and mental needs, leaving them happier, more relaxed, and ready for a good nap by the time they go home.
WHY ENRICHMENT IS BETTER
When dogs engage in enrichment activities, they experience mental fatigue, which is just as important as physical exercise. A dog that’s mentally stimulated throughout the day is less likely to engage in destructive behavior at home. Instead, they’ll be much more likely to settle down, relax, and enjoy some quiet time with you.
The Benefits of Enrichment Daycare:
-
Calmer dogs: A mentally engaged dog is a happy, calm dog, both at daycare and at home.
-
Improved behavior: Dogs who experience enrichment show fewer signs of frustration and boredom.
-
Mental stimulation: Keeping your dog’s brain active can help prevent anxiety and stress.
-
Better overall well-being: Enrichment provides a holistic approach to your dog’s care, ensuring they are mentally, physically, and emotionally satisfied.

The Pawdit: Your Dog’s Personalized Introduction to Fairview Boarding
All Daycare & Lodging dogs begin their Fairview Boarding journey with our Pawdit — a one-on-one, personalized evaluation designed to get to know your dog inside and out.
During the Pawdit, we explore your dog’s activity level, interests, learning style, and all the little quirks that make them who they are. This thoughtful process helps us understand what makes your dog happiest and most comfortable.
With this insight, we tailor every aspect of their stay — from playtime and enrichment to rest and routine — ensuring your dog enjoys the perfect Fairview Boarding experience.
The "Pawdit" includes more than just Daycare, it includes:
-
A full day of professional care and one-on-one interaction designed to help us understand your dog’s unique personality and interests
-

-
A special report card to share all of the information we gathered and recommendations for programs & extras that will make your dog's stay with us even more fulfilling
