Hours: Our operating hours are 8 am to 8 pm; however, you must contact us with a day notice between those times to let us know when you are dropping and picking up your pet. If you need earlier or later drop-off, please inquire.

Pick-up/Drop-off service: If you need us to pick-up or drop-off your pet at your home, please inquire about whether we are able to do it and the additional cost. It will depend on size of pet, cage, and distance. We have a minimum charge of $15 each direction.

Your Dogs day: Dogs spend day outside in our large fenced in yard unless weather conditions are unfavorable in which case we have them stay in our living room area. The yard has plenty of room to run and play and our staff will take the time to play with the dogs and take them on a short walk to creek or over hiking trails upon your request. We do feedings in morning and early evenings, and fresh water is always available. At night, we bring dogs inside to sleep. If we have both large and small dogs at same time or any incompatibility between dogs, we have them sleep in separate areas, either the living room area or separate bedroom. If your dog requires their own separate place to sleep away from all other animals, please provide the kennel and we will assure that they are safety tucked in their private home when they sleep.

Your cats day: Cats have their own play room in climate controlled bedroom indoors with a nice window overlooking nature. Our staff will check on your cat throughout the day and play with them if they interested. We do feedings in morning and early evenings, and fresh water is always available. If we only have one cat, the cat can sleep cage-free in the cat play room. If we have more than one cat, we have separate cat condos so they are safety tucked in their private home at night. We will let cats out to play in the large room one at at time throughout the day. You are also free to provide your own home for you cat to stay in.

Feedings and special diets: We provide high-quality food to our pets twice a day, in mid-morning and early-evening, according to recommended quantities based on the dog and cat size. Clean fresh water is always available. Sometimes we may provide a small snack, but we never provide any human food. If you would like us to provide more or less food than standard amounts, please let us know. We are also happy to administer any special diet for your pet if you provide the food with detailed instructions on amounts and timing of feedings.

Medical needs and special diets: We will administer medications if you provide the meds with detailed instructions for each one. If the meds are particularly difficult (i.e. shots), we may charge an extra fee of $10/night.

Discounts: We are offering 10% discount through all of 2021, except for holiday periods (Nov 19th thru 28th and Dec 23rd thru Jan 2nd). We offer an additional 10% discount for seniors, students, and military members (please show ID), and 30% discount for 2nd dog, cat or cage.

Requirements to stay : We require all dogs and cats staying with us to be up-to-date on vaccinations. We reserve the right to refuse service to any animal that we find aggressive or disruptive to our refuge. If we feel we are unable to take care of your pet after they have checked-in due to behavior concerns, we will confine the pet, call you to pick them up, and will refund any amount you have paid for the day. We require proof of vaccinations and a signed document recognizing our rules and release of liability at the first stay.

Availability: We are currently limiting care to no more than 5 dogs and 5 cats at any one time. Please check our calendar for availability. If it doesnt say booked, we still have openings. For months past this month, please inquire.
