Pickup 4 to 8 hours after your drop-off time: +$15.
Pickup more than 8 hours after your drop-off time counts as an additional full day: +$30.

Examples

4-hour example: drop-off Fri 9:00 AM, pickup Sun 1:00 PM (4 hrs) = $60 per dog.
8-hour example: drop-off Fri 9:00 AM, pickup Sun 5:00 PM (8 hrs) = $60 + $15 = $75 per dog.

Each additional dog is billed at the same rate. A card processing fee is added to your Stripe invoice.

Boarding cancellations & refunds

Cancel by 12:00 PM (Central) at least 7 days before your drop-off date: full refund.
Cancel after that, or after the stay begins: 50% refund for the first 7 days of the booking, and a full refund for any days beyond the first 7.
Need to change dates instead? Just ask. Date changes have no fee, subject to availability.
Request refunds no later than 48 hours after the booking's end date.

Board & Train

Rates

2-Week Board & Train: $1,800 per dog, a fixed 14-day stay.
4-Week Board & Train: $3,200 per dog, a fixed 28-day stay.
Pickup is exactly 14 or 28 days after drop-off, at the same time of day.
A card processing fee is added to your Stripe invoice.

Board & Train cancellations & refunds

Cancel at least 2 weeks (14 days) before your start date: 75% refund.
Cancel within the 2 weeks before your start date: 50% refund.
Once the board & train has begun: no refund.

Why: I set aside significant time and resources for each dog I schedule, and I only take a few dogs at a time. When a spot is cancelled at the last minute, it's very unlikely I can fill it on short notice. Thank you for understanding.

Available only to existing boarding and board & train clients.
A card processing fee is added to your Stripe invoice.

Session cancellations & refunds

Cancel at least 24 hours before the session start time: full refund.
Cancel within 24 hours of the start time: no refund.
