Premium Dog Boarding near Shrewsbury, NJ
Most boarding facilities near Shrewsbury keep dogs indoors for the bulk of the day, with a short yard break here and there. Dogs on the Farm was built to do the opposite. Every guest gets access to acres of farmland, 9,000 square feet of secured outdoor turf, and a daily schedule built around actual activity — not just supervision. It’s a short trip up Route 35 from Shrewsbury to a setting that trades strip-mall surroundings for open country air.
Rates for our Play & Stay program begin at $64.95 a night, which covers a genuinely full stay: attentive care, room to roam, and enrichment that keeps your dog engaged from drop-off to pickup.

Choosing the Right Accommodation for Your Dog
We offer three overnight accommodation styles so every dog — big or small, outgoing or reserved — has a space that suits them. Multi-dog families are always welcome, and every room includes a personal toy bin, so a familiar comfort from home is never far away.
Signature Suite
Step up to our most exclusive accommodations: a glass-front door, wood accents, and themed artwork set the tone, while a child-sized racecar bed with a Kuranda mattress gives your dog somewhere special to rest. A private window lets in natural light, rounding out a bright, lodge-inspired space with just the right country touch for dogs who deserve a little extra.
Farm House Suite
Behind a glass front that keeps the space open and inviting, our Farmhouse Suites bring together country charm and everyday comfort. A raised bed with matching bedding finishes the look, creating a cozy retreat that works well for dogs of nearly any size.
Sleeping Condo
For dogs who’d rather tuck away than stretch out, our oversized sleeping condos offer a den-like feel with privacy walls on every side. A raised bed inside keeps things calm and secure — a crate-style setup built for dogs who like to settle in undisturbed.
Add-On Enrichment for Dog Boarding Near Shrewsbury, NJ
Every dog has a different rhythm — some want constant activity, others prefer quieter one-on-one time — so we let pet parents build a boarding stay around what actually fits their dog. Our Play & Stay program already includes one supervised play session, but these add-ons are what take a stay from “fine” to genuinely fun. Give us a call for full package details, and here’s a look at what’s available:
- Puzzle feeders, treat games, and other nutrition-focused enrichment
- Storytime, bedtime tuck-ins, and other extra one-on-one affection
- A slower-paced solo walk through the farm for dogs who’d rather explore than run
- Custom packages built around puppies, senior dogs, and pets with special needs
- Time in our outdoor yards or climate-controlled indoor arena, alone or with a playmate
- Photos and a written report card delivered daily from your dog’s stay
- Homemade snacks and fresh-baked treats made right here on the farm
- Private or small-group sessions focused purely on mental stimulation
- A Stay & Learn add-on that folds positive training right into the visit
Why Shrewsbury Pet Owners Choose Dogs on the Farm
For more than 20 years, dog owners across Monmouth County have trusted us for dog boarding that goes beyond the basics. A working farm setting, a purpose-built facility, and a team that’s been doing this a long time add up to an experience that stands apart. Here’s what that looks like in practice:
Farm Location
Set on five open acres alongside horses, goats, and chickens, our resort gives every dog a calm, engaging environment — far enough from traffic to feel like a real retreat, but still an easy trip from Shrewsbury.
Incredible Play Spaces
Multiple fenced, turfed play yards give dogs 9,000 square feet to run year-round, and when the weather turns, our indoor arena — a converted horse-riding ring with full climate control — keeps things moving without missing a beat. Come summer, the fun continues in our in-ground pools, complete with waterfalls.
Family-Owned
Dogs on the Farm has been family-run since it opened in 2002, and it’s now the next generation carrying that same standard of care forward for pet families throughout the area.
Superior Safety
We treat safety as a daily habit, not a checklist: climate-controlled spaces, purpose-built surfaces, active monitoring, and backup generators all work together to keep the property secure. Daily cleaning, continuous staff training, and owners who live right on the property round out a level of care your dog’s safety depends on.

Other Services We Offer
Dog Daycare near Shrewsbury, NJ
Shrewsbury’s location on Route 35 makes drop-off and pickup simple, and our daycare gives dogs a real mix of play, socialization, and exercise in a genuine farm setting. Options can be tailored to your dog’s energy level and social style, so it never feels like a one-size-fits-all day.
Cat Boarding near Shrewsbury, NJ
While your cat stays with us, they’ll settle into a quiet, low-stress space designed just for them — completely separate from our dog boarding areas. Our cat suites are located inside the main office, so your cat gets calm, individualized attention throughout their stay near Shrewsbury.
Dog Training near Shrewsbury, NJ
Our training programs are built on positive reinforcement, whether you’re working on basic manners or something more specific. We offer both on-farm sessions and in-home training, so Shrewsbury families can pick whichever setup fits their schedule and goals.
Getting to Dogs on the Farm from Shrewsbury, NJ
From Shrewsbury’s Historic Four Corners, Dogs on the Farm is roughly a 15-minute drive with no highway driving required. Head north on Route 35 (Broad Street) toward Red Bank and Fair Haven, then continue onto Navesink River Road and follow it for a couple of miles — one of the nicer stretches of road on the way. Turn left onto McClees Road, then left again onto Bowne Road, and you’ll see the farm entrance on your right. It’s a straightforward, mostly back-road route that makes both boarding drop-offs and regular daycare runs easy for Shrewsbury pet parents.
