For the health and safety of all pets in our care, we require up-to-date vaccinations before check-in, as required by the state. Dogs must be current on rabies, distemper, and Bordetella. Cats must be current on rabies and distemper. Proof of vaccination from your veterinarian is required prior to arrival. These standards help us maintain a clean, healthy environment and reduce the risk of illness while pets are staying with us.

You are welcome to bring your pet’s regular food to help avoid digestive upset during their stay. We recommend pre-portioned meals labeled with feeding instructions. You may also bring comfort items such as blankets or toys, which are encouraged to help your pet feel more at home. We do not provide bedding, but each suite includes raised resting benches for comfort. If your pet is on medication, please include clear written instructions.
Dogs receive outdoor time in secure play yards at least 4 times a day. Fresh air and movement are important for both physical health and stress relief.
