How Boarding Pricing Works

Boarding pricing depends on your dog's size, the length of stay, and any add-ons like extra play sessions, exit baths, or medications. FurPlan members save on every stay — ask about membership when you book.

Frequently Asked Questions

What proof of vaccines do you need?

A quick photo or email straight from your vet works great — we just need to see current Rabies, DHPP/DA2PP, and Bordetella dated within the last 12 months. We can also call your vet for you if that is easier.

What if my dog is anxious or has never boarded before?

First-timers are welcome. We take it slow on day one, spend extra one-on-one time, and send you photo updates so you can see how they are settling in. Most dogs are relaxed by the second day.

Do boarding dogs get playtime?

Yes. Every boarding guest gets multiple outdoor play and potty sessions daily, plus group play with compatible dogs if they enjoy it. Dogs who prefer quiet time get solo walks instead — we match the activity to the dog.

Can I bring my dog's own food?

Absolutely — we encourage it. Keeping their regular food prevents stomach upset. Pre-portion it in bags or a container if you can, and label any treats or toppers.

Can you give my dog medications?

Yes. We give oral, topical, ear, and eye medications at no extra charge. Just bring them in their original container with clear instructions at drop-off.

How far in advance should I book?

For weekends and school breaks, 2 to 3 weeks out is safe. Holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Spring Break, July 4th) fill up a month or more in advance — book as early as you can.

Are you open on holidays?

Yes, we care for boarders every day of the year. Drop-off and pick-up windows may be shorter on major holidays — we will confirm your times when you book.

Do you offer transport to and from boarding?

Yes. Our Pet Shuttle can pick up and drop off at your home for $15 each way or $25 round trip. First return ride home is always free. Just add it when you book.
