All forms must be filled out prior to any service.  These forms include a registration, veterinary release, vaccination records, liability and release, policies and procedures, payment and pricing and dog boarding and cat sitting agreements.   All dogs must be current on vaccinations such as Rabies, Distemper (DHLPP or DAPP), Leptospira, Bordetella.  The Influenza vaccination is encouraged, but not required at this time.  At the time of the consultation we will discuss what is necessary to bring, and address any questions.

You will need to bring your dog’s food, treats, medications, and leash or harness if used.  You may also bring a bed or a blanket or piece of clothing that smells like home to provide comfort and ease stress.

For a smooth experience, drop off and pick up times are by appointment only.  Kindly provide specific times for arrival and departure of your pet when booking service.  Pick up and drop off hours are 8 am-7pm.  A fee of $10 will be applied for any drop off or pick up outside of business hours.  If for any reason there is a delay, please communicate in advance to make necessary arrangements.  Your punctuality and communication are greatly appreciated, ensuring a well-organized and stress-free process for both you and your pet.

Dogs should be crate trained.  While we don’t frequently utilize crates, recognizing the importance of crate training is vital for ensuring your dogs’ safety and well-being, offering a potential necessity for specific situations.  Dogs over one year old should be spayed or neutered, and are required to be housebroken in order to maintain a sanitary environment.  Dogs should be non-aggressive and friendly toward other animals and people.  They must not exhibit signs of extreme anxiety, stress, be an excessive barker or become destructive when people are not present.

When entering a boarding facility, it is not uncommon for them to mark their territory by urinating.  This behavior is instinct driven by the need to establish familiarity in a new environment.  Boarding facilities are better equipped to handle such occurrences.  If your dog is a continual marker, diapers will be purchased at owner’s expense.  It is also essential to acknowledge that they may occasionally exhibit destructive behaviors due to anxiety, unfamiliar surroundings or boredom.  Pet owners should be aware of their responsibility outside of the norm, caused by their dog during boarding.  Open communication about potential destructive tendencies helps create a supportive environment where the well-being of the dogs and the integrity of the boarding facility are prioritized.
