Boarding, Daycare and Bathing Services
PLEASE NOTE: This Form Must Be Filled out and Returned Prior to any Services. (DOWNLOAD)
We offer overnight boarding, daycare, and full bathing services. Socializing is very important for dogs so we offer a safe environment for them to socialize, play, and get tucked in at night. We require all clients to be current on an effective flea and tick prevention, heartworm with a de-wormer (Heartguard Plus or equivalent), and current on all vaccines (Rabies, Bordetella, and DHLPP). Dogs are grouped by similar size and temperament for a fun and safe experience.

Daily Routine
Dogs go out 5-6+ times per day. The first out for boarding dogs is 6-6:30 am, and the last out of the day is between 9-10:30p. Puppy rates include one extra out early morning as needed for your pup, typically around 1-2:30a.
All dogs have to have a safe space where their food, water, toys, and other personal belongings stay. They are in their own safe space when we are not home, at night, and between group rotations if there is a group out with which they are not compatible. We have several options to best accommodate your pet. We use what is best for your dog and what they are most comfortable with. All dogs are inside in AC unless out for outside playtime. We have 4’x8’, 4’x6’, 4’x4’ easy clean kennels, Great Dane 54” crates, 48” crates, and puppy playpens (small dogs or older dogs) for our normal boarding and daycare setup. If you have a puppy that is crate training, we have smaller crates available to continue crate training while in our care.
M-F has a significant emphasis on daycare playtime, as well as indoor and outdoor playtime. Groups get house time and outside playtime in rotations several times per day. Duration outside depends on the weather, as the safety and well-being of the dogs are our #1 priority. When it is hot outside (summer time, for example), they will go out more frequently but less time outside each time. When it is cooler outside (winter, for example), we will stay outside for longer durations and less frequent rotations throughout the day because they are out for longer play periods at a time. They also enjoy house time (indoor play) in small groups. Dogs are allowed on the couch (unless we are told otherwise by clients). They get the main area of the house with no access to bedrooms.
Daycare is included at no extra charge with boarding rates. If your dog is compatible, they get to play in groups during their boarding stay. If they are not compatible, they go out one-on-one with me or a trusted person.
Sat/Sun
We do not take same-day daycare clients on weekends or holidays. Sat/Sun, we have a work-life balance, so there is less housetime focus and more outside playtime. They go outside five times daily for playtime and potty breaks on weekends.
Requirements for Services
1. All dogs must be current on vaccines (Rabies, Bordetella, and DHLPP) and show proof of vaccines from their vet.
We recommend the CIV, but it’s not required as it’s an older vaccine for the old influenza strands. CIV will be required if there is an influenza outbreak.
2. Must have a completed service agreement on file.
3. The dog must be current on flea and tick prevention. Dogs are in our home, so the health of our guests and family is essential. There is a $50-100 flea charge for spraying yards, rooms, and the house, plus a $25-30 bath fee up to a daily flea bath as needed. The dog will be administered Capstar every 24 hours for fleas until pickup at $10/pill.
4. Current on monthly heartworm and parasite prevention (ex: heart guard, interceptor, or 3 in 1 such as Simpirica or equivalent)
5. Negative fecal test at last exam. If it was positive, you must have a negative fecal test before coming.
6. The only requirement for packing for your pup’s stay is their food to avoid tummy upsets. We have bowls, bedding, and toys here for them. If they are new or nervous, we suggest bringing a shirt you wore the night before or a blanket/favorite toy or chew to help keep them comfortable. We also administer medications for an added fee per night as well (price mentioned above)
7. Dogs must be healthy and not sick with anything contagious. We cannot accept any dogs that have respiratory symptoms, known as kennel cough, diarrhea, Giardia, coccidia, parasites, or any other bacterial/viral illness that can be passed on to others. Cleanup fees apply for added sanitizing and cleanup fees ($20-100 per day)
8. All unspayed females must not be in heat. If they are in heat, they will not be able to board.
