​

Do you require a deposit? 

We do require a 50% deposit at time of booking.  This is to ensure that the kennel for your dog is held.   We require the remaining 50% at drop-off.  

​

What if my family has more than one dog? Do they get a bigger kennel? 

We have the room to accommodate more than one dog per family.  In fact, we have had families with 4 dogs stay comfortably in our kennel spaces. We also have the ability to extend one of our kennels into an extra large space. 

​

What do I need to bring for my dog’s overnight stay? 

For overnight stays, please bring the following: 

▪ We provide cots, blankets are preferred over beds. Easier to wash 

▪ Their food to last the whole stay in a sealed container, as well as a measuring cup

▪ Their leash and any walking tool you may be using 

▪ Some treats 

▪ If your dog requires a slow feeder, please bring that, otherwise we provide our own bowls. We have automatic water bowls.

▪ Vaccination proof: DHPP, Rabies, Bordetella, Leptospirosis  

▪ All signed: Daycare & Boarding Agreement, Off-Leash Waiver, Bordetella Waiver

▪ A shirt that you wore sometime during the week (helps with dogs who have separation anxiety) 

▪ A couple of their favorite toys 

▪ A list of medications and how/when they need to be given 

​

Where will my dog stay? 

Your dog will stay in a luxurious 6’ by 4’ dog run. In this area, there is an automatic water bowl, space for a bed or cot, and some open space if they just want to lie on the concrete flooring.  

​

Will there be other activities for my dog while in your care? 

During the day, if your dog is daycare appropriate, they can partake in daycare throughout the day.  If your dog is not daycare appropriate, they will get alone time in the indoor and outdoor pen areas multiple times throughout the day. On top of spending quality time with them, we offer two one-hour hikes throughout the day and through the 27 acres of our beautiful property.  You will be able to keep up-to-date with your dog’s stay on our Facebook and Instagram pages. 

​

What if my dog is ‘dog aggressive’? 

We have the tools and experience to allow aggressive dogs to stay in our care. We have obstacles to put between an aggressive dog so that they cannot hurt another dog in our care through the kennel.  We also would not be able to have them partake in daycare, however they would still get their 2 one-hour walks throughout the day.  

​

What happens if my dog needs to go to the vet while in your care?

Upon drop-off of the signed agreements, there are two sections for contact information; yourself and someone you trust to make decisions in case you are not close by to attend.  We will first call the owner; if there is no answer, we then call the alternate contact. If there is no answer at either number, we will take the dog to the vet right away.  Your pet’s health is our number one priority. Please note that in case of an emergency where time is of the essence,  we will proceed to take your pet to the nearest ER vet and contact you immediately. 

​

What are your pick-up and drop-off times? 

From Tuesday to Saturday, pick-up and drop-off times are between 8am and 6pm. On Sundays  and Mondays, pick-up and drop-off times are either 8am or 8pm. We suggest when dropping off your dog, to give yourself some time and arrive earlier.  This will help your dog become acclimated to the new surroundings and settle in before bed. 

​

Can I get my dog groomed before I pick them up? What do you charge?

You can definitely get your dog groomed before they go home.  Please ensure you book your dog’s grooming at the same time you book their boarding stay.  Each dog is different and we price accordingly, so please contact us to discuss further details and pricing.
