Boarding:
-
Option 1: All-Day Play
- First dog: $40 per night
- Additional dog in the same suite: $30 per night
With this option, boarding dogs are in our activity room from the time they get up in the morning to the time they go to bed at night. They do have the chance to take a nap during the day, and we can feed dogs during the day if necessary. We can also provide a schedule of play plus extended naps if you request it.
-
Option 2: Boarding only - no daycare
- First dog: $35 per night
- Additional dog in the same suite: $25 per night
With this option, dogs stay in their suite, which is spacious, sanitary, and safe. We take them out several times throughout the day for potty breaks, and the price automatically includes one-on-one time with our staff.
Late check-out (after 12:00 pm): $20 per dog
The late check-out policy applies because on the check-out day, picking up after noon means your dog would have received a half-day of care that wasn't included in the boarding price. This fee applies regardless of what time your dog arrives on his first day.
Health Warranty Program: $5 per boarding stay
The Health Warranty Program reimburses you for up to $250 in veterinary bills after a boarding stay with us. Please note that the $5 fee covers the entire boarding stay - it is not charged per night. Therefore, even if your stay is for 2 weeks and you are boarding two dogs, the warranty fee would only be $5 total.

Grooming: Price depends on the size and breed of the dog.
We can provide an exit bath for your dog to have her looking and smelling great when you pick her up. Fees apply - ask for details.
Food. No charge for feeding.
Please provide your own food, measured in individual baggies per meal that have your name and your dog's name clearly written with a permanent marker on them. Dogs who switch to a different food during boarding have a higher propensity to get diarrhea and won't have as pleasant a time in daycare. Thus, it's best if you stick to your own food - trust us on this one.
Medicine. We do not charge for administering medicine.
Taking your dog to the vet for vaccinations or pre-existing conditions. There is a $50 fee if we need to take your dog to the veterinarian for a pre-existing condition or vaccination updates. If your dog needs to go to the vet for a situation such as this, we strongly encourage you to have an emergency contact that you could call in this instance. If your dog needs to go to the veterinarian for vaccinations, we would likely go to one in our neighborhood where we have a strong relationship and would not need to wait in line. Please note that these policies exist because we do not have adequate staffing levels to be able to send someone away like this, which can be very time-consuming.
Cancellation and no-show policy. When you make a boarding reservation with us, we assume it is final. This is important because we are working under the assumption that your dog is staying with us for certain nights, which impacts our staffing and our ability to take on additional dogs during that time. Therefore, we must charge a fee for no-shows, and cancellation fees may apply depending on the notice we have been given, our relationship with you, and the circumstances. We understand that plans can change, but please be considerate of our business and call us well in advance if this occurs.
- During peak holidays such as Christmas and New Year's: you must cancel at least 14 days prior to your arrival date in order to avoid any cancellation fees. A no-show fee will apply if you simply don't show up.
- During normal weeks. We ask that you give us at least 48 hours notice before cancelling. A no-show fee may apply if you simply don't show up.

A Happy Customer |
I had a great experience at Tucker Pup'ss. Parker has her issues but I know she had a great time because she could barely keep her eyes open on Saturday after I picked her up. If I end up living in the city after I move I will definitely come back.
Thanks,
- Susan Kwolkoski

We feature very spacious, industry-leading boarding suites that are much bigger and nicer than crates or the typical chain-link fence on concrete.
We can groom your dog, including giving a bath, during her boarding visit
