Billing Policy

Boarding rates

$30 per 24-hour period, starting at your drop-off time.
Pickup up to 8 hours after your drop-off time: +$15.
Pickup more than 8 hours after your drop-off time counts as an additional full day: +$30.

Examples

8-hour example: drop-off Fri 9:00 AM, pickup Sun 5:00 PM (8 hrs) = $60 + $15 = $75 per dog.
10-hour example: drop-off Fri 9:00 AM, pickup Sun 7:00 PM (10 hrs) = $60 + $30 = $90 per dog.

Each additional dog is billed at the same rate. A card processing fee is added to your Stripe invoice.

Cancellations & refunds

Cancel by 12:00 PM (Central) at least 7 days before your drop-off date: full refund.
Cancel after that, or after the stay begins: 50% refund for the first 7 days of the booking, and a full refund for any days beyond the first 7.
Need to change dates instead? Just ask. Date changes have no fee, subject to availability.
