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

• Lyme Disease

Proof of current vaccinations is required prior to boarding.

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.

Food

Please bring your dog's regular food in a labeled, sealed container. Changing diets suddenly can upset a dog's stomach, so we prefer they remain on their normal feeding schedule.

Please also let us know about:

• Food allergies

• Special diets

• Feeding instructions

Medication

We are happy to administer medications exactly as prescribed. 

Please provide medications in their original labeled containers along with written instructions.

What to Bring

Please pack:

• Your dog's food

• Medications (if needed)

• Leash

• Harness or collar

• Favorite treats (optional)

• Favorite toy (optional)

• Blanket (optional)

You're also welcome to bring your dog's own crate, bed, or blanket to help them feel more at home.

Sleeping Arrangements

For every dog's safety, all guests sleep comfortably in crates overnight. Dogs from the same family who normally sleep together may share one of our spacious large crates when appropriate. Owners are welcome to bring their dog's own crate if preferred.

Outdoor Play

Dogs enjoy supervised playtime in our securely fenced yard.

For everyone's safety:

• Dogs are never left outdoors unattended.

• Playgroups are carefully supervised.

• Dogs are matched by size and temperament whenever possible.

Health & Behavior

Please let us know if your dog:

• Has anxiety

• Is blind or deaf

• Has mobility limitations

• Has allergies

• Has a history of seizures

• Has food aggression

• Has resource guarding behaviors

• Has any medical conditions

Honest communication helps us provide the safest care possible.

Illness

If your dog becomes ill before their reservation, please contact us immediately. We may recommend postponing the stay to protect the health of the other dogs in our care.

Emergencies

In the event of a medical emergency, we will:

• Contact you immediately.

• Contact your emergency contact if necessary.

• Seek veterinary care if immediate treatment is required.

Your dog's safety will always be our first priority.

Pick-Up & Drop-Off

Visits are by appointment only. Please arrive on time for scheduled drop-off and pick-up times. If you're running late, simply let us know—we understand that unexpected delays can happen.
