Structured Boarding

A 50% deposit is required within 48 hours of requesting your booking date. Failure to provide the deposit within this time frame will result in forfeiture of your reserved spot.

The remainder 50% is due 48 hours before the first day your dog boards.

If you need to cancel for any reason:

• 7 days or more prior: full refund

• 6 days or less: loss of deposit

I require a meet & greet for each new client to ensure it will be a good fit. Meet & greets are $30.

Dogs must be:

• Kennel trained. For safety reasons, dog will sleep in their kennels and will be kenneled when not supervised.

• Up to date on vaccines (Rabies, Distemper, and Bordetella) and have a clear fecal test within 30 days of boarding. This helps prevent the spread of communicable diseases.

• Flea & tick prevention between April and October.

My goal is to maintain a safe, relaxing, and structured environment for each dog. This includes:

• Matching your dog’s meal time schedule & routine

• Minimum of 30-60 minutes of daily structured exercise depending on your dog’s needs

• Practice with foundational skills such as thresholds, place, and calm coexistence

• Plenty of potty breaks and supervised time in a fully fenced yard

• Kennel when unsupervised to ensure safety and allow for healthy decompression

All add-ons are subject to my availability and are not guaranteed. It is important to request these at the time of booking to confirm:

• Field Trip to local park: $40/field trip

• Booster Session (available for board & train graduates only): $50/day

I am unable to board dogs who:

• Are not properly kennel trained

• Have extensive medical needs

• Dogs younger than 8 months old

Additionally, if your dog exhibits extreme aggression towards other dogs or humans, I will not be the best fit.

If you are unsure, please reach out. I am happy to make recommendations to other boarding options that may be a better fit.

While I have experience working with dogs that have various behavioral concerns, it's important to note that structured boarding is not the same as training or a board & train program.

If your dog has behavioral concerns that are not currently being addressed by a trusted dog trainer, I may recommend a board & train program or suggest other boarding options better suited to your dog's needs.

This just depends! Each dog relationship is unique and I honor that. I may allow for supervised play, a structured pack walk or we might just focus on coexisting neutrally.

I will never force play between dogs and will always prioritize neutrality.

If you prefer your dog to not interact with my dogs, that is okay and we can accommodate that request.
