Frequently Asked Questions

How much do you charge for daycare?

Please see our daycare rates on our Daycare page, as there are many options to suit you and your pup(s)!

How do you separate dogs in daycare?

Dogs are placed on one of our three daycare floors. They are separated primarily by size, but a dog’s temperament can come into play as well. There are exceptions to every rule, of course, as long as the safety of all our guests is not affected and the owner has provided their permission.

Do I need a reservation for Daycare or Boarding?

Yes, you do need a reservation for boarding, as well as for your dog’s first day of daycare. After your dog has been evaluated and is daycare approved, you no longer need a reservation for daycare and can stop by anytime before 2 p.m. which is our cutoff time for daycare.

What vaccines are required for my dog?

If your dog is over 4 months of age they MUST be vaccinated against Rabies, Bordetella and Distemper. If they are under the age of 4 months, they do not need the Rabies vaccination.

Do you charge extra for daycare when my dog stays overnight?

No! We include up to 9 hours of social time in daycare with our boarding stays. (Did you know, most other facilities charge extra? Be sure to ask about this specifically with every boarding facility you interview.) The only time we charge extra is when you pick your dog up after our 1 p.m. checkout time. In those instances, we charge a half-day fee of $16 to cover the extra care your pup receives.

At what age does my dog need to be spayed or neutered?

All dogs must be spayed or neutered by the age of 6 months if they are to come stay or play with us.

How do I get my dog set up to come stay or play?

Everything you need to know about our enrollment process and your dog’s first day can be found on our new member welcome page. The easiest thing to do is to give us a call or send us an email, along with sending over an enrollment form (get the enrollment form here). Once you have contacted us, you can then call your vet and have them fax over your dog’s vaccinations or you can email them to us yourself.

We do offer baths, nail trims, and nail grinds for those guests who are either in daycare for the day or staying overnight with us. You’ll find your pup clean and tired at the end of the day!
