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.
