Boarding FAQs
Find answers to your questions about our services, policies, and everything Sweet Paws Retreat.
Does boarding include play time?

Yes! Our 24-hour boarding rate includes daycare. If your dog stays beyond the 24-hour period during daycare hours, a half-day or full-day daycare fee will apply, depending on the length of the extended stay.

What kind of experience do the employees have who take care of the dogs?

Most of our staff members already have hands-on experience working with dogs. In addition, all employees are required to complete our rigorous in-house certification program for Dog Behavior and Daycare Management. To ensure the safety of the dogs in our care, our team is also trained in canine CPR and first aid, allowing them to respond effectively in case of any emergencies. And of course, our employees must love dogs! 🙂

Should I bring my dog’s bedding?

You’re welcome to bring your dog’s bed or blanket if it helps them feel more at home, but it’s not required—we provide clean, comfortable bedding for all our guests.

What should I bring for my pet’s boarding stay?

To ensure your dog's dietary needs are met during their stay, we strongly recommend bringing their food from home. Each meal should be pre-portioned in an individual bag, including any necessary vitamins or supplements. Due to space constraints, we are unable to store large food containers or excess food. We can provide food for your pup at an additional fee, but please note that rapid changes in diet can sometimes lead to digestive issues.

You are welcome to bring your dog's own blanket to help them feel more at home. We provide comfortable beds for every dog during their stay, but due to variations in sizing, we advise against bringing your dog's personal bed. Our primary concern is the safety and comfort of all dogs in our care.

Do I need to make reservations?

Yes. For overnight boarding, we absolutely need a reservation. Depending on the time of year, we can often accommodate short notice or same day notice (if your dog has previously completed the temperament evaluation). Please be aware that Holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmas book several months in advance and other holidays book several weeks in advance. During the summer months, we often fill up early for weekends. If you are an established customer, you can schedule your reservations online.

Do you offer any packages?

We offer a 10 visit package for both daycare and boarding. Additional fees may apply if your dog requires a large space.
