A Boutique Boarding Experience Since 2008
Where every dog feels like family.
At Five Star Dog Resort, we’ve redefined what dog boarding in Alpharetta should feel like. Since 2008, our family-owned resort has been dedicated to creating a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment where every dog can relax and thrive. Whether it’s pet boarding in Atlanta or puppy training in Alpharetta, our goal is to make every stay feel like home — because your dog deserves nothing less than five-star care.
Where Your Dog Will Beg to Stay
Daren, the Pack Leader, brings over 37 years of experience in dog training and boarding in Alpharetta. His expertise in dog breeding and behavior sets Five Star apart from other dog kennels in Atlanta. Unlike large corporate facilities, our boutique model is designed with your dog’s comfort in mind — not human convenience.
We welcome pet parents from Milton, Roswell, Woodstock, and Canton, offering flexible visits and guided tours during business hours. With clean, private suites and personalized attention, it’s no wonder so many families trust Five Star Dog Resort as their go-to for pet boarding in Alpharetta and surrounding areas.
Our Expert Team of Dog Handlers
At Five Star Dog Resort, our handlers are more than caregivers — they’re trained professionals who understand each dog’s unique personality and needs. We know boarding can be stressful, especially for older pets, so our team follows proven care routines that focus on calm, trust, and comfort from the moment your dog arrives.
Every guest receives gentle attention, consistent care, and the same love we give our own dogs — making Five Star the trusted choice for dog boarding in Alpharetta and surrounding areas.
Incorporating the Psychology of Dogs
Our boutique design is built around breed-specific dog psychology, creating an environment where guests feel calm, comfortable, and secure. Each suite is private, hygienic, and separated by solid walls rather than fencing to reduce anxiety and overstimulation.
Even our play areas are designed purposefully, encouraging healthy interaction and preventing behavioral issues. Every detail at Five Star Dog Resort reflects our commitment to your dog’s happiness, confidence, and overall well-being.
What Our Clients Families Say

My girls were so excited to go to their favorite “weekend retreat! “ Paul VogtTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve been using them for years for kennel services. They have always been fantastic. Recently we’ve leveraged their dog training services as we got a puppy that was a bit more out of control than we were prepared to handle. Not only have they greatly assisted in his training, but they’ve built up his confidence (he was pretty skidding) without breaking her sweet personality. I strongly recommend Darren and his staff. They are the only place I would trust my fur family members. Beth TennebarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The team at Five Star take great care of my dogs - highly recommend L STrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve been boarding our dogs here for several years, and have always had a great experience with them. Kim LittleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best doggy day stay and training ever!!!! Deborah UrsoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We’ve been bringing our two dogs, Rusty and Cyrus, to Five Star Dog Resort in Alpharetta, GA for the last five years, and it truly feels like their home away from home. The care, attention, and love the staff gives is unmatched. From the moment we drop them off, we know they’re in the best hands. The facility is always spotless, secure, and welcoming. The team goes above and beyond to make sure both dogs are comfortable, happy, and well-exercised. We get regular updates and pictures, which gives us such peace of mind while we’re away. Rusty can be a little shy, while Cyrus is full of energy, and they both come home calm, clean, and content — a true testament to how well they’re treated. We’re so grateful to have a place we can trust completely. Thank you for taking such great care of our boys for all these years! Renee LeoninoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have 5 stars to the Five Star Pet Resort because they are friendly, the lace is super clean and my dog actually loved staying there. He is 5 years old and this is the first time he really likes the place. He simply tolerated the other places. This makes me so happy. I would definitely recommend this for boarding especially if your dog is like mine just a little picky. He likes the highest quality of surroundings and people. He is only a 12lb Cavapoo but he has great judgement when it comes to people and places. Thank you to everyone at Five Star for taking care of my little guy. He will definitely be back.
