$60 per dog, per day. Payment is due at pick-up. There are no hidden fees or surprise charges.

Question 2

What does a boarding stay include?

Accepted Answer

Every stay includes daytime access to our covered outdoor play area and individual enclosures, an individual crate sized to your dog's needs, overnight stays in our temperature-controlled kennel (set to 77°F), fresh water, feeding per your schedule, and constant health and well-being monitoring.

Question 3

What breeds do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We specialize in Pembroke Welsh Corgis, but all well-mannered dogs are welcome. We do ask that dogs be comfortable around other dogs and not show aggressive behavior.

Question 4

Do you accept intact (unaltered) dogs?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Unlike many kennels, we welcome intact animals. We carefully manage our boarding schedule to ensure all dogs are safe and comfortable throughout their stay.

Question 5

How do I book a boarding stay?

Accepted Answer

Just text Lisa at 760-594-6119 to check availability and get your pup on the schedule. We're a small, family operation so we handle bookings directly — no online portal needed.

Question 6

What vaccinations are required?

Accepted Answer

We require dogs to be current on core vaccinations including rabies, distemper/parvo (DHPP), and Bordetella (kennel cough). Please bring proof of vaccination on your dog's first visit.

Question 7

Can I bring my dog's food and belongings?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We encourage you to bring your dog's regular food to avoid any digestive upset from a diet change. You're also welcome to bring a favorite toy or blanket to help them feel at home.

Question 8

What are your check-in and check-out times?

Check-in and check-out times are flexible — we work around your schedule. Just let Lisa know your arrival and departure times when you book so we can plan accordingly.

Question 9

How much does grooming cost?

A full groom starts at $85 and includes ear cleaning, tooth brushing, hand blow dry, comb out, and nail trim with dremel. Extended labor is billed at $20/hr if the session exceeds one hour. Nails-only appointments are $25.

Question 10

What add-ons are available?

We offer an allergy bath (+$15) using soothing medicated shampoo for dogs with sensitive skin or seasonal allergies, and a plaque-busting dental treatment (+$5) for extra dental care.

Question 11

Do you cage dry dogs after bathing?

Accepted Answer

Never. Every dog is hand blow dried — we don't use cage dryers. It takes longer, but it's safer and more comfortable for your pup.
