Our Policies.
Vaccinations
Dogs must be up-to-date on their vaccinations and we may ask for a copy of their records for confirmation.
Food and feeding
We are always happy to fill your dog's belly!
Dogs that need to be fed during their stay are always fed separately. It is up to the dog owners to provide an outline of their dogs eating schedule to allow us to mimic their daily routine.
It's also the owners' responsibility to outline any allergies your furry pet may have.
Behaviour and excessive barking
We understand that a dog's behaviour can change
when they are in a new environment, this is common.
However, for the safety of other dogs and staff, any dog who exhibits aggressive behaviour will be refused service. Dogs who bark excessively during daycare can also be refused service since it interrupts the peace of the pack.
Collar, harness, leash
The safety of your pet is important to us. We require all dogs when dropped off to have a proper collar, leash and/or harness. It is the responsibility of the dogs owner to make sure their dogs equipment is properly secure and safe to use.
Punctuality
Animal care necessitates a great deal of planning, setup, cleaning, and scheduling. Our clients must respect the parameters in which we operate in order for our business to run smoothly. We don't want to penalise clients that are habitually late because these characteristics aren't designed to generate additional revenue. We will no longer care for a client's pet if they are routinely late for drop off and/or pick-up time.
Drop-off and Pick-up
Boarding drop-off we require a text message when you are 10 minutes away. Boarding pick-up we require a text message when you are 10 minutes away. Daycare drop-off times are anytime after 6:00am.
We require a text message when you are 10 minutes away. Daycare Pick-up times are no later than 7:00pm unless previously modified and discussed. We require a text message letting us know you're 10 minutes away. If you require your pet to be picked up earlier please give us early notice. Rates do not change
Cancellation
Daycare generally covers an 8 hour period. Any cancellations of daycare must be made 72 hours in advance. Any bookings made after this will require full payment before we can proceed. If you cancel frequently, your dog will be moved from a designated weekly space to a daily waitlist, and we reserve the right to reject service.
Boarding covers a 24 hour period. We require full payment two weeks before your scheduled boarding date. Last minute bookings are allowed if we have room. You must board according to the agreed upon
days. If length of stay needs to be shortened and pickup times changed, payment for those days are non refundable. If length of boarding needs to be extended we will asses the situation to see if we have room and additional payment is needed upfront. All payments must be made in full. Payments are non-refundable.
House sitting we require full payment two weeks before your scheduled house sitting date. Last minute bookings are allowed if we have room. If you need to extend your house sitting days we will do our best to accommodate you and additional payment is needed upfront. All payments must be made in full. Payments are non-refundable.
Drop-in Visits/Walks
Any cancellations of drop-in visits must be made 24 hours in advance.
Rates may be subject to change without prior notice.
All pricing is subject to applicable taxes.
Booking times are approximate for dog walking and drop-in visits.
