I own multiple dogs - can they board together?

Yes!  We have four runs that are connected via guillotine doors.  We can simply open the door and your dogs can freely roam between the two runs. This allows them to have as much personal space as they desire while also rooming with their housemates.  We also offer a 15% discount for the second and third family member.

Do you require my pet to be spayed/neutered ?

Yes, we do require all guests over the age of 6 months to be spayed or neutered prior to attending lodging or daycare.  

What should I do to prepare for my dog's stay?

Please ensure your dog is up to date on vaccines and that our office has the most recent vaccine record.  We recommend filling out the registration form online prior to arrival as this will expedite the check-in process.  Lastly, you may want to book any add-on services at the time you make your dog's reservation.  These services can also be added at the time of check-in. 

Are you able to administer my dog's medication? 

Of course! We have experienced staff and a licensed veterinarian on site, so medication administration is not a problem.  Please remember to bring the medication at the time of drop off as well as explicit instructions.  We do not charge for administering routine oral medications.  However, there will be a $5 fee per day for administering injectable medication (such as insulin). 

What time is check-in and check-out?

Our guests may check-in and check-out any time between the hours of 7am-7pm M-F and 8am-6pm on weekends (aside from major holidays).  It is helpful to let us know when you will be dropping off and picking up so that the process can be expedited.  We charge per night, regardless of pick-up and drop-off time.  We charge a late fee of $5 for every 15 minutes past closing time up until 1 hour past closing time.  Any guest who is not picked up one hour after closing (7pm on weekdays, 6pm on weekends) will be charged for boarding for that night.
