ABOUT
Welcome to The Dam Dog House!
As much as we humans would love to spend every minute of everyday with our fur babies, it’s just not possible! That little thing like work or family commitments or something might just get in the way sometimes! Some dogs are ok with being left alone for a bit but others are incredibly social and need that companionship even when you’re not around.
This is why daycare is a great option!
Daycare provides a positive and secure environment for your dog to run and play while you are busy! Aside from providing plenty of opportunities for your pup to burn off excess energy, daycare also provides a safe environment for regular socialization with other dogs.
At The Dam Dog House, we feel strongly that the care and love of our clients comes first. We believe a daycare environment should be both fun and enriching for our clients. We provide an environment that keeps your pup healthy, happy, and active!
Our pets deserve the very best. This is why our facility has been designed to provide the safest and most stimulating environment for your dog. While in our care, your pup will get to run and play to their heart’s content while also making some new friends in the process! Not only will they get the exercise they need, but they will also learn valuable social skills and basic training. This will significantly improve their temperament and prevent destructive behavior, making them a more balanced and happier companion for your home!
In the Beginning...
In March 2020, Allison started the Dam Dog Walkers, intended to provide an option for dogs in the community to get their daily exercise. The demand for her services quickly grew and coupled with her more than a decade as a professional in the Veterinary field, she knew that she could bring something unique to the many furry friends who call Boulder City home: a daycare and boarding option that puts the animal’s care above all else. Since then, and despite a global pandemic, Allison, or the Dam Dog Walker as she has become known around town, has accepted many families’ pets into her loving arms, providing a positive “open play” environment, complimented with basic training, and socialization that has greatly impacted the many pets and families who have become a part of her “pack.” In fact, the Dam Dog Walker has garnered so much demand that Allison was forced to temporarily stop accepting more clients. It was then that she knew she was at a crossroads. She had to either consider permanently closing the book on new clients or expand… The choice was clear. She chose EXPAND!!
Recently, Allison located a commercial property within Boulder City that will be perfect for animal daycare and boarding. Featuring a large indoor play space and an outdoor fenced yard, the Dam Dog Walker is now the Dam Dog House! Some of Allison’s goals for the Dam Dog House is to build a different kind of daycare: - Guarantee of open play for overnight guests and daycare
- Private boarding suites and slumber party options for overnight stays
- Dedicated play areas comprised of a hybrid of climate controlled indoor and shaded outdoor spaces
- Separate areas for different dog sizes and temperaments
- Enclosed safe-spaces for boarding and relaxing
- No breed restrictions, all guests that pass a temperament test are welcome!
We look forward to your furry companions becoming apart of the Dam Dog House Family!

The Pack Leader
Allison Shafer, a resident and community activist, has proudly called Boulder City, Nevada her home for most of her life. In 2003, she moved to Reno for college, where she met her husband Adam. Before too long, their family expanded to include two beautiful girls, Rosemarie Patricia and Audrey Grace, along with a number of canine and feline companions throughout the years. In the summer of 2019, Allison and her family decided to permanently relocate home to Boulder City to lay roots of their own.
Allison has always sought opportunities to be involved in the community, especially when it meant giving back to the community in which she was raised. Over the years, Allison has volunteered in various capacities, including as a Troop Leader for Girl Scout Troop 555 and Choir Director for St. Andrews Catholic Community, among a number of other committees. Needless to say, her passion for Boulder City is palpable and grows every day. In time, Allison realized the community was sorely missing a place where people could bring their dogs to play and exercise while their human companions ventured off to tend to life’s other responsibilities. In recognizing this void, her dream was born.
