Welcome to North Dakota's Premier Pet Care Facility

Our family owned business – Stay & Play Pet Resort – began simply because we adore animals.  Our family has always had pets, but the turning point from a pet to a family member, from a dog to a best friend, started when a puppy arrived in our home.  He was a Golden Retriever named Chester.  He soon taught us what a pet could really mean to a family.  We learned what the words devotion, loyalty and unconditional love really meant.  We believe Chester is the reason that, in a family of five siblings, we own a total of 19 animals.

Stay & Play Pet Resort is a tribute and dedication to Chester for the immeasurable joy and love he gave our family.

The Stay & Play Pet Resort Mission

Stay & Play Pet Resort is dedicated to providing your pet with the highest quality of care and services.  We designed and staffed our facility to promote the health and well-being of our four-legged friends.  We want dogs to be dogs with lots of room to run and enjoy the supervised interaction with other dogs.  We are committed to enhancing the lives of pets and their owners.
