Boarding is possible any day of the week, but please confirm availability in advance. Drop offs are in the morning, pick ups can be in the morning, or in the afternoon.
Overnight stays are similar to a hotel stay for humans. For high-energy/playful dogs we require to check-in in the morning not to miss out on the daytime fun and exciting group play sessions - this will ensure a good first night of sleep and a smooth transition. During the day on weekdays there are also doggy daycare friends that come to play. Once daycare dogs are picked up, pups that stay the night have their dinners, more games inside and outside with their slumber party buddies, and plenty of TLC before bedtime around 9:30pm.
On weekends that are not too busy, we might do some special adventure outing to a nearby park, lake or a short off-leash trail walk, with permission from parents.
In addition to our standard Drop off/Pick up times, for boarding we offer check-in and check-out during 10-10:30am window Monday through Friday.
What to bring:
Bring your dogs leash and collar, food marked with name and meal amounts, any treats you want your dog to have, medicine or supplements.
It's not necessary to bring any bowls, measuring cups/scoops, toys, or daytime beds. We have plenty! However, feel free to bring anything that you think will make your dog more comfortable at our place.
Monday-Friday we host doggy daycare 7:00am-5:30pm.
Tuesdays and Thursdays are our Puppy Daycare and Socialization. These days are organized specifically to have a nice group of youngsters to socialize, learn and play. Adult dogs are welcome too!
Thursday Daycare is also geared towards small to medium sized dogs and dogs that are shy. There are generally fewer large dogs to play with on this day.
Monday, Wednesday, and Friday we have a group of mostly large dogs like Husky, Border Collie, Golden Retriever, Goldendoodle, Bernese Mountain Dog, Great Dane, Labrador Retriever, Airedale Terrier, and other cool mix breeds! Regular daycare dogs that come over know each other very well and have established deep friendships and bonds. They all get along very nicely and know how to play with each other - no matter the size or age difference.
Bring your dog's leash and collar. Feel free to pack a meal, favorite treats or a snack for your pup. Please label with your dog's name. Leave bowls and toys at home - we have plenty!
We are able to schedule for doggy daycare on some Saturdays and Sundays too, please ask in advance to ensure availability.
Weekday Drop off and Pick up times: 7:00-8:30am and 4:00-5:30pm
Weekend Drop off and Pick up times: 9:00-10:00am and 4:00-5:00pm
If you require a different pick up/drop off time, please let us know and we will try to do our best to accommodate. However, non-standard time is at a fee, as it disrupts our normal schedule and flow of activities for dogs that are over. Please see below for other options:
On some weekdays we can offer drop offs and pick ups between 10:00-10:30am, or in the afternoon around 3:00pm if discussed in advance.
Late pick-ups and drop-offs, when available, incur a fee of $1 per minute. Monday through Friday, we allow some flexibility for traffic and delays, with late fees beginning at 6pm. If a pick-up extends more than 45 minutes past our regular pick up time, the day is charged as nightly rate.
During daycare, our dogs get a lot of playtime and opportunities for socialization. In addition we are always trying to add fun and learning activities such as - practice basic obedience commands, manners, play fetch, do agility games, splash pool, and other fun outdoorsy activities whenever weather permits. On weekends that are not very busy, we might do an outing to a park or some other adventure, if approved by dogs' parents.
We know you miss seeing your floofsters, so we make sure to take many photos of them throughout the day and make them available for viewing online later.

For drop offs and pick ups, we ask clients to send us a message once they have arrived at our location and wait a little bit. Someone should come out to meet you outside shortly, or bring your dog out if it's a pick up. We try to minimize any movement around the front door to not disturb other dogs that might be over. If you wait longer than 5 minutes with no response, dogs might be keeping us busy - feel free to call or ring the doorbell.
IMPORTANT: Under no circumstances, should anyone enter the backyard or the house unaccompanied - the safety of our dogs, their parents and our staff are of the utmost importance to us!
Please park by our house, (on the gravel, left side as you drive in) or in the driveway leading to our garage, so the road stays open for our neighbors. Do not drive further down the road - it's a dead end! If at all possible, avoid turning around in our neighbors driveway, the road is wide enough to turn around, or use our driveway.
Please drive slowly on our private road and be mindful of our neighbors - there might be children, cats and bunnies crossing. Be careful turning onto our private road and leaving, as there might be cars and pedestrian traffic crossing your path. Make a complete stop before turning back onto the main road.
We are always happy to meet new people and their dogs in person! Feel free to schedule a meet and greet with us. Our usual time for meet and greets are on some Wednesdays between 6-7:30pm, please confirm availability.
