Boarding
At the end of a full day of daycare, we want your dog to be tired. Any dog spending the night, will receive dinner and breakfast and additional outdoor potty breaks after your daycare closes and before it opens. They are safely kenneled overnight in a secure crate. For additional safety, our facility has video cameras and security & fire alarms.
What's Included?
Boarding dogs receive the same daily schedule and activites as daycare dogs, in addition to the following:
- Standard fleece bedding. Add on luxury or premium bedding.
- Administer medications if needed.
- Daily boarding journal summarizing your dog’s day, appetite, and behavior.
- Boarding update every 3 days by email or phone. Please specify contact preference on your boarding in-take form. Of course you may call us at any time for an update.
- No daycare fees on the day of pick-up if you arrive by 9:30AM, otherwise a half day of daycare applies, regardless of what time you pick up that day.
- Add enrichment activities (e.g. story time, individual toy time, puzzles).
- Add an extended walk.
- Add a bath, nail trim, or spa package.
- Add a Training Camp package to have a trainer work with your dog. Or add a Manners Practice session to have a daycare team member reinforce behaviors your dog already knows.
- Know you will be running late? Plan ahead and arrange a pet taxi home for your dog to avoid any late pick-up fees.
What to Bring?
- Breakfast and dinner. Dry food should be measured and provided in individual baggies. Please label each bag with your dog’s name and include one meal per bag.
- Lunch or Snack. Please bag any lunch or nap time snacks in a bag separate from breakfasts and dinners.
- Medication. Must be provided in its original packaging with doctor prescribed details.
- Boarding In Take Form. You can print and complete ahead of time or complete at drop-off. Please specify any add-on services. If your dog is staying over a holiday, please note our drop-off and pick-up windows.
- Keys. If you have arranged a pet taxi home or to daycare for your dog. Please ensure we have working keys and appropriate instructions.
- DO NOT BRING: personal belongings (toys, bedding, leashes, collars) unless absolutely necessary. We simply do not have the space for storage. We will not be held responsible for lost or damaged items. For safety reasons we will not leave anything in your dog’s kennel besides bedding overnight.
Important
- Evaluation. All Dogs must go through an evaluation before their first day of daycare.
- First-time boarders. Dogs that have not attended our daycare in over 6 months are required to attend a trial day of daycare before they can board with us. This allows our team to monitor your dog's behavior for a full day to ensure that the off-leash daycare environment is appropriate for your dog, before you leave town.
- Allow 10 minutes for check-in. When dropping off your dog, our team will need to review and walk through the appropriate paperwork, food, medication, and contact information.
- Arrive no later than 4pm. This is so your dog has ample time to play and tire out before being kenneled overnight. Additionally our lobby gets very busy after 4pm as daycare dogs are being picked up to go home which may mean your drop-off time could take longer.

Let's Get Started
All new daycare and boarding customers must go through a new client registration process before we can begin.
*Required vaccinations: Bordatella, DHPP, Rabies. You may also have your vet fax them to our office before your evaluation. If vaccinations are not provided, we will not be able to conduct the evaluation.
**Arrive to your evaluation on time. Evaluations are scheduled at specific times of the day in order to maintain a structured day for the dogs and ensure they have time for all their scheduled activities. If you are running behind, please give us a courtesy call so that we can either hold your spot or reschedule for another time. If you are more than 15 minutes late to your evaluation, we will need to reschedule.
Once your dog has passed the evaluation, you can begin booking dog daycare and boarding services.
