Check-in & Check-out

Boarding check-in and check-out times are from 8:00am-5:30pm Monday through Friday, 8:00am-12pm on Saturdays and 3:30pm-5:30pm on Sundays. Hours are subject to change during holidays. If you pick-up your dog after 1:00pm Monday-Friday, there will be a $15 half day charge added to your bill, unless you request a bath or groom on check out. Due to the fact that we charge by night there is an automatic half day charge of $15 for Sunday pick-up unless you request a bath or groom on check out. If you request a bath or groom on check-out, a specific pick-up time will be discussed upon drop off and will never be before 11am, so that we have the time to complete the groom.
