To ensure the safety, health, and enjoyment of guests & staff, dogs must meet the following requirements:

  • All dogs over six months of age must be spayed or neutered.

  • All dogs must be up-to-date on Bordetella, Rabies, and Parvo vaccinations. We strongly suggest your dog be vaccinated against Leptospirosis and the Canine Influenza Virus. Please be prepared to show proof of these vaccinations.

  • All dogs must be in good overall health and free from communicable diseases, illnesses, and parasites.
  • All dogs must be friendly with humans and other dogs, and they must never demonstrate any aggression or signs of aggression toward humans or other dogs.
  • All The Pet Spot pre-entry forms and veterinary vaccination records must be submitted to us before your dog can participate in daycare and boarding at The Pet Spot.
  • All dogs must attend a Meet and Greet before being considered a candidate for boarding in our facility.
  • When you drop your dog off, they must be wearing a well-fitting collar with a handheld leash attached to it.

  • You can send copies of the vaccines to our email, info@thepetspotco.com

If your dog takes any type of medicine or vitamin, please bring it and the original prescription bottle with clear instructions on when and how much to administer. Additional medication fees of $3 per day will be added to your reservation.

Dog Boarding FAQs

Do I have to bring my dog in to meet you before boarding?

Yes. Because all dog boarding guests participate in daycare during their stay, we require all potential boarding guests to come in for at least one day of daycare before they can spend the night with us. This helps ensure that we are a good fit for your dog.

What do I need to bring for my dog to spend the night?

We recommend bringing their regular food, changing a dog’s diet suddenly can cause gastrointestinal stress. Please provide their normal food in a resealable container. Feeding instructions will be gone over by our front desk associates upon arrival. The Pet Spot is happy to manage special diets that require refrigeration, freezing, and microwaving. Feel free to provide any treats your animal eats regularly, as well. 

We will provide your dog with bowls and fleece blankets for their stay. Pet parents are encouraged to bring their animals bed from home as well as a few toys. NO RAWHIDES OR CHOKING HAZARDS PLEASE.

Do I need a reservation?

Yes. Because we limit the number of dogs in our playgroups, reservations are required. We often fill up months in advance for holidays, so please plan accordingly. We encourage you to contact us as early as possible to make your pup’s reservation.

Cancellation Policy

We require 24-hour notice for all boarding reservation cancellations. If you fail to provide 24-hour notice, you may be charged the full rate for your reservation.

Boarding Policies

We are happy to administer oral or topical medications or supplements to your pets! Medication must be in the original prescribed container with the legible prescription label.
Please bring enough food for the duration of your pet’s boarding stay. You must provide individual prepackaged containers or Ziplock bags with your pet’s name and food measured by meal. Canned food and meal toppers are accepted in their original container but must be labeled with your pet’s name.
