All boarding reservations require a $30 deposit and are refundable if the appointment is canceled before 7 business days of the reservation start date. This deposit will be applied towards the total of their stay. If your pet is boarding over a holiday, where our clinic is closed to the public, there is a flat, one-time fee of $10 for that day.

Things to Bring
Please bring any medications your pet is currently taking, along with written instructions for our technicians and assistants to follow.

Requirements for Boarding
To keep all our guests healthy and happy, we require them to be current on their vaccinations and parasite prevention. At drop-off we will request written proof that your pet is up-to-date on their required vaccines and test(s).
Our vaccine policy for pet boarding is as follows:
- If vaccines need to be updated on the day of your pet's boarding stay, you will be required to check in for a walk-in tech or doctor visit and stay until the service is complete.
- The ideal timeline is for vaccines to be updated 2 weeks before your boarding appointment.
- You are responsible for providing us with updated vaccine records if your pet goes to a different veterinary clinic for routine care.
