Business Policies


We reserve the right to deny admittance of any dog or cat that we feel has infectious disease, health, temperament or aggression issues.  During their stay, should a dog be discovered to have excessive barking issues, aggression tendencies or unstable temperament, is a dirty dog, defecates inside and requires extra cleaning, will be subject to charges as per our a la Carte menu and may be ejected on demand and denied future admittance. Geriatric dogs or special assistance/care charges are assessed and applicable based on our staff's evaluation to adequately care for the pet.

Checkout is prior to 11AM within our listed appointment Office Hours. Pets picked up after these times, up until closing is considered extended stay at a rate of 50% of the nightly rate, for the partial day and a fee adjustment for activities completed that day. If the pet(s) are picked up after hours, the regular nightly charge will apply in addition to any after hours or emergency charges.

After Hours charges per pet apply for drop-offs and pickups outside of normal appointment Office hours.

Emergency pickup or drop-off charges will apply per pet between 6:00PM – 7:30PM (Feeding and non disturbance time), 9:00PM – 7:00AM or outside of our regular appointment Office hours on any Statutory or Civic holiday. Advance notice is required.
