FAQ

How far in advance do I need to book?

  • We advise to book overnight care as soon as travel plans are solidified. Weekends and holidays are peak times for boarding.

Will I get to meet the pet sitter?

  • Absolutely! We offer a complimentary meet and greet with the sitter prior to your departure to ensure everyone is comfortable with one another.

Will my pet(s) be alone overnight?

  • Absolutely not! The sitter will be with your pets through the night.

Will my dog be crated all day?

  • Absolutely not! Crates are not provided by the sitter. If your dog is crated for any reason (ie: grocery shopping, overnight, etc) the crate must be provided. Otherwise your pet will have free reign, supervised, on the main floor of the home.

What if I have multiple dogs?

  • No problem! We offer a discounted rate for additional dogs!

How many dogs are boarded at a time?

  • We board a maximum of 5 dogs at a time during regular season. During peak periods (i.e. Christmas) there may be a few extra guests.
