Boarding a Rottweiler

A Rottweiler is a large to extra large dog, 80 to 100 pounds for females and 95 to 135 for males by the AKC, with a short, dense coat. A female fits Business Class ($59 a night on the 2026 rates) and a big male fits First Class ($72). The 2024 bath chart lists a short coat at $50 for 76 to 100 pounds and $65 over 100.

A Rottweiler is a strong dog with a self-assured, watchful manner, and a good stay respects both. Staff meet the dog at the car, walk it in on a leash and let it learn the run at its own speed.

Pounds decide the run

AKC lists males 24 to 27 inches and 95 to 135 pounds, females 22 to 25 inches and 80 to 100. A female fits Business Class (30 square feet inside, 60 outside). A male near the top of the range, or two Rotties from one home, belongs in First Class, 6x8 ft, $72 plus $61 for the second.

Coat and bath

The outer coat is short, coarse and flat, with an undercoat on the neck and thighs. For a female around 80 to 100 pounds the 2024 chart shows $50 in Short. A heavier male lands in the Over 100 row at $65. Please ask to confirm the cell.

Self-assured, not pushy

AKC describes a gentle playmate within the family and a dog that watches strangers with aloofness. For the stay, that means a relaxed intro at drop-off, and a leash until your dog is settled. Energy is 3 of 5 by AKC, so the walks in the nightly rate and a play area session suit the breed.

Heat

A black-and-tan dog in August sun picks up heat quickly. Near Dixon there are about 100 days at 90 degrees or higher in the NOAA 1991-2020 normals for Vacaville, so the air-conditioned inside half and shaded outdoor time matter.

Check-in with a strong dog

Keep your Rottweiler in the car until staff come out; they carry the bag and walk your dog in on a leash. Use a sturdy flat collar. Metal pinch (prong) collars are removed. A calm hello from you at the car is the best start for the dog.

Cost examples

One female in Business Class for 5 nights is 5 x $59 on the 2026 rates. A male in First Class for the same trip is 5 x $72. Stays of 14 nights or more, and military stays, are $65 a night in First Class. Two Rottweilers from one home pay $72 plus $61 for the second.

Food and joints

Large breeds often eat a special diet. Own food is welcome in its original bag, and medications such as joint support are given at no extra charge. Write the amounts in cups.
