Everything you need to know before your dog’s first visit.
Rabies, DHPP (distemper/parvo), bordetella, canine influenza, and leptospirosis, plus a vet-recommended flea and tick preventative. Bring records to your meet & greet or upload them when you complete our new-client form.
For training, book a free Initial Consult — a 30-minute call to talk through your dog’s history and goals. For daycare or boarding, book a free in-person Meet & Greet so your pup can sniff around and meet Andi and Forte before their first full day.
One family. Your dog is never grouped with dogs they don’t know — no packs, no strangers, no sorting dogs by size and hoping it works out. If you have two dogs, they come together; they already share a home. It means we book up early and sometimes have to say no, but it’s the whole reason people come to us.
Forte is my retired service dog, and he lives here. Twelve years of service work taught him to be calm and steady around anybody's dog, and nervous pups often settle faster watching him than they would watching me. He doesn't count toward the one-family limit — and for dogs who'd rather not share space with another dog, Forte spends the day at a friend's place.
Daycare starts from $85/day (up to 8 hours), boarding from $100/night, and canine massage is $75/session. Bringing two dogs from the same household? Add $50. Exact quote confirmed by text before your first visit — no payment is taken online for daycare or boarding.
Training prices ($45–$80 depending on format) are listed on our Services page.
One family at a time — your dog is never grouped with dogs they don’t know. Play in the morning, a proper midday rest, more play and one-on-one attention in the afternoon, and a photo update texted to you during the visit. A full day covers up to 8 hours; longer days are quoted individually.
Daycare covers up to 8 hours. We’re open 9 AM to 8 PM on weekdays and 9 AM to 6 PM on weekends, so longer days are absolutely possible — they’re just quoted individually. Ask when you book and Andi will confirm by text.
Yes — a photo is texted to you during every daycare and boarding visit. Not a webcam feed of a warehouse — a real note from someone who actually spent the day with your dog.
Daycare: nothing but your dog — collar and leash for drop-off.
Boarding: your dog’s food portioned per meal, and any medication with written instructions. Labeled, please!
Life happens — just give us 48 hours’ notice. Late cancellations or no-shows may be charged up to 50% of the quoted service. Emergencies are different; talk to us and we’ll do our best to work with you.
Often, yes. One family at a time and one consistent caregiver make a big difference for sensitive dogs. We’ll be honest with you about fit, and training support is available if your pup needs a slower start.
