3. Late Fees

- Those who arrive after 7:00 p.m. for pick-up will be charged a late fee of $10.

4. New Clients

- For the time being, we will not be able to offer Temperament Tests for new dogs for 7 days before and 3 days after certain holidays and peak boarding periods. The holidays include:

Spring Break, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve/Day, New Year’s Eve/Day. 

Minimum Daycare Prior to Boarding Stay:

- New dogs must schedule the Temperament Test at least 10 days before the planned boarding stay, plus they must have at least one additional daycare day prior to boarding. This is to allow the dog to get acclimated to the facility, staff, and other dogs, and for the staff to get to know the dog.

Dogs who have not been in for a year or longer must come for 2 daycare days prior to boarding to get reacquainted with the facility, staff, and other dogs. 

5. Cap on Daycare Dogs

- We will now have a capacity on daycare dogs 7 days before and 3 days after certain holidays and peak boarding periods. The holidays include:

Spring Break, Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve/Day, New Year’s Eve/Day.
