That's not what Stuart and Brecken Campagna are building on Hilton Head Island.

The couple recently broke ground on Southpaw Pet Resort, an all-suite boarding and training center at 10 Fish Haul Road.

They demolished a decades-old kennel on the property and plan to open their resort in April. It is designed for individual attention, safety and comfort, Stuart Campagna said.

The resort's first phase is planned to include 14 6-by-8 kennels, each with a TV and wrought-iron bed and each connected to a 12-by-8 running area that Campagna said will resemble a pet's "own little backyard."

The Campagnas, former owners of an in-home pet-sitting service, added the TVs because many former clients said their pets responded to shows such as those on the Animal Planet channel.

"They swear their pets watch television," Stuart Campagna said. "I do have one cat that likes the bottom line on the news."

The first phase of the resort will also include a 50-by-50 enclosed, climate-controlled training facility. It will be carpeted with "canine grass," synthetic turf made of anti-microbial fibers that provides pets with cushion and is "great on their joints," Campagna said.

That facility will be used for obedience and agility training that will be available in addition to the boarding service.

The couple are targeting vacationing residents, tourists or working people who want "doggie day care," Campagna said.

"You know your pet is going to be taken care of the way you want it to be taken care of," Campagna said. "You hear everybody say it, but we're really serious about it."

Phase II of the resort is planned to include cat condominiums and a grooming facility and check-in room, Campagna said.

He said he also is considering installing a hydrotherapy rehabilitation tank to help pets recover from surgery, lose weight or build strength.
