Red Hills Pet Resort

Red Hills Pet Resort — Luxury Pet Boarding and Daycare in St. George, Utah

Red Hills Pet Resort is a premium pet care facility in St. George, Utah, providing luxury boarding, daycare, professional grooming, and training services for dogs and cats in a purpose-built facility designed around the comfort, safety, and well-being of every animal guest. Recognizing that leaving a pet in someone else's care is an act of trust that many pet parents find stressful, Red Hills Pet Resort has invested in the facilities, staffing, protocols, and communication systems that give pet owners genuine confidence that their animals are receiving exceptional care during their absence. The resort-style facility features spacious individual suites rather than traditional kennel runs, climate-controlled indoor spaces, expansive outdoor play yards with shade structures and splash pads, and the attentive staff-to-animal ratios that ensure every guest receives the individual attention and socialization that keeps pets happy and engaged during their stay.

Boarding Suites and Overnight Care

Overnight boarding at Red Hills Pet Resort takes place in individual suites that provide each pet with their own private space — a quiet retreat where they can rest comfortably after a day of play and socialization. Dog suites range from standard accommodations suitable for smaller breeds to luxury suites with elevated beds, private outdoor access, and additional space for larger dogs or multiple pets from the same household. Cat boarding occupies a separate, quiet wing of the facility, isolating feline guests from the sights, sounds, and energy of the dog areas and providing the calm environment that cats need to feel secure in an unfamiliar setting. All suites are cleaned and sanitized daily, with fresh bedding, clean water, and feeding schedules that match each pet's home routine. Overnight staff presence ensures that animals are monitored throughout the night, with emergency veterinary protocols in place should any health concern arise during off-hours. Pet parents can monitor their pets via webcam access from their phones or computers, providing real-time visual reassurance that eases the anxiety many owners feel when traveling without their animals.

Daycare and Socialization

The daycare program at Red Hills Pet Resort provides supervised group play, socialization, and structured activities for dogs who benefit from regular interaction with other dogs and the physical exercise and mental stimulation that a home environment may not always provide. Dogs are grouped by size, temperament, and play style, ensuring that gentle seniors are not overwhelmed by exuberant puppies and that high-energy dogs have play partners who match their intensity. Trained staff members supervise all play sessions, managing group dynamics, redirecting inappropriate behavior, and ensuring that every dog has a positive, safe social experience. The outdoor play yards feature turf areas, agility obstacles, splash pads for hot-weather cooling, and shaded rest areas where dogs can take a break from the action. Indoor play spaces provide climate-controlled alternatives during extreme weather, maintaining the activity and socialization schedule regardless of outdoor conditions. Regular daycare attendance benefits dogs through improved social skills, physical fitness, reduced separation anxiety, and the mental stimulation that prevents the boredom-driven destructive behaviors common in under-exercised dogs.

Professional Grooming

The grooming salon at Red Hills Pet Resort provides the full range of professional grooming services — bathing, breed-specific haircuts, nail trimming, ear cleaning, teeth brushing, de-shedding treatments, and the specialty services that keep pets looking and feeling their best. Grooming is available as a standalone service for community pet owners and as an add-on for boarding and daycare guests who go home freshly bathed and groomed. The grooming team includes experienced professionals familiar with breed-specific grooming standards as well as the creative and custom styles that individual pet owners prefer. Desert-specific grooming considerations include attention to paw pad condition in animals that walk on hot pavement and rocky trails, de-matting and brushing appropriate for breeds with thick coats in the desert climate, and skin treatments that address the dryness and irritation that can result from Southern Utah's arid environment. All grooming services use high-quality, pet-safe products, and the grooming team communicates with pet owners about any health observations noted during the grooming process — skin conditions, lumps, ear infections, or dental issues that may warrant veterinary attention.

Training Programs

Red Hills Pet Resort offers group and private training classes for puppies and adult dogs, covering foundational obedience, leash manners, socialization skills, and behavior modification for dogs with specific behavioral challenges. Training programs use positive reinforcement methods that build the trust, communication, and mutual understanding between dogs and their owners that form the foundation of a good relationship. Puppy classes focus on socialization, basic commands, house training, and bite inhibition — the critical early learning that shapes a puppy's behavior and temperament for life. Adult classes address obedience skills, leash manners, recall, and the practical commands that make everyday life with a dog safer and more enjoyable. Private training sessions are available for dogs with specific behavioral issues — reactivity, separation anxiety, resource guarding, or fear-based behaviors — that require individualized assessment and a customized training plan. The trainers at Red Hills Pet Resort understand that effective training is as much about educating the owner as training the dog, and invest significant time in teaching pet parents the skills and consistency needed to maintain training progress at home.
