Frequently Asked Questions

1. Types of Animals We Board & Vaccinations

We board both dogs of any breed as long as they are not aggressive. We do not board any type of aggressive animal, regardless of breed, since we ensure the safety of all of our guests and staff members. Each pet must be clean and free of parasites (ticks, fleas, mites, etc.). There will be a $30 bathing fee for any guest who needs to be bathed due to dirt or parasites before being boarded. Each pet must be up-to-date on vaccinations and at least 12-weeks old. All vaccinations must be faxed over from the guest's veterinarian before the guest can enter the property.

Cancellations must be made during normal business hours Monday-Friday. If a cancellation is made after hours or on a Saturday or Sunday, the cancellation request will be reflected on the next week day. Cancellation is required by telephone to ensure cancellation, and the pet owner must speak to an employee. An email will be provided to confirm any cancellation.  Cancellations must be made 7 days in advance in order not to be charged (Peak Season- Spring Break Season, Holiday Seasons, and School Breaks). If a cancellation is not made within in the time frame stated, charges will be placed to the owner's credit card on file.  If owner calls to cancel reservation on the scheduled arrival date of the reservation, or any subsequent day, or simply does not show up on the reserved days, owner will be responsible for the full cost of the time reserved.  Advanced deposits will not be refunded if reservation is not cancelled within the appropriate time frame. There may be additional cancellation penalties for reservations made three months or more in advance or during higher demand periods.  If the pet owner wishes to pick up their pets earlier than the end reserved date, thereby canceling reserved days, owner will be responsible for the full cost of the number of days reserved.
