Meet & Greet
A complimentary Meet & Greet is required for all first-time adult dogs before boarding. Meet & Greets are held in our securely fenced backyard whenever weather permits, allowing us to get to know you and your dog while respecting the privacy of our family home. Meet & Greets are not required for puppies.
Age Requirements
We welcome:
Puppies
Adult dogs
Senior dogs
Puppies should have started their puppy vaccination series before boarding.
Spay & Neuter Policy
Adult dogs 12 months of age and older must be spayed or neutered. Puppies are welcome before they are altered, but we ask that they be spayed or neutered by their first birthday before returning for future boarding stays.
Small Dogs Only
To ensure the safety and comfort of every guest, we exclusively care for small breed dogs weighing 15 pounds or less. This allows us to maintain a calm environment where dogs can play safely with companions of similar size.
Vaccination Requirements
For the health and safety of all our guests, dogs must be current on:
Rabies
DHPP/DHLPP
Bordetella
We also strongly recommend:
Canine Influenza
Leptospirosis

Flea & Tick Prevention
All dogs must be free of fleas and ticks upon arrival. We strongly recommend that dogs remain on a veterinarian-approved flea, tick, and heartworm prevention program year-round.
