I am pleased to have your dog for an overnight stay as well! I can accommodate one night or a whole month depending on your needs.
I also accommodate drop off and pickup for any time that is convenient to you… even if they are outside of my regular business hours. Just let me know what times you need when you schedule your appointment and I will try my best to be available to help you out! 
These boarding rates are for any dogs that will be staying with me overnight and/or over the 12 hour daily maximum for dog daycare. 

 

Overnight Boarding Rates: 
•$35/night for the first dog

•$25/night for additional dogs  

​

Reservation and Cancellation Policy:

To hold your reservation, you will need to provide a credit or debit card number. Please have the information ready when you call to make an appointment. 

Cancellations for boarding must be made a minimum of 48 hours prior to drop off date. Any cancellations made after the 48 hour mark will be charged 50% of the current overnight boarding rate ($17.50). 

 

What to pack

• Food: pre-portioned, 1 serving per baggie. If your dog is staying more than 15 days, you do not need to pre-portion the food. I will provide food and water bowls. 

If I do need to provide food for your dog, we will charge an extra $3 per feeding for the duration of the stay. 

*Please keep in mind that the food we will provide will be just something to get your dog by so it may not be the same food your dog is used to and can cause stomach upset. Typically, I keep Purina Pro Plan, Sensitive Stomach on hand.

• Vaccinations: must be current, provided at least 24 hours prior to drop off. (Rabies, Distemper and Bordatella)

• Medications: in separate containers, with instructions 

• Collar and leash: please make sure you are sending your dog with a properly fitting collar and a properly working leash. These tools are used when doing introductions to other dogs at check in. If the collar is too loose or the leash is not in working order, these factors can cause some unwanted or dangerous interactions with other dogs during introductions. 

• Toys: Toys are not required as Island Paws provides plenty of them but if your dog had a toy or special comfort item they would like to have, you are more than welcome to send them. 

*Please be aware that any extra items you send, your dog will have in their kennel while unsupervised. So do not send anything you worry about being chewed up or ruined. 

​

Information to Share 

• Is your dog intact? I do take intact dogs; male or female but please let me know if they are so I can take appropriate caution. Also, please let me know when your female had her last heat cycle. 

• If your dog is an 'excessive marker' - meaning that they habitually urinate on items inside the facility such as furniture, walls, doors, toys etc,, I have male and female wraps available but there will be an additional charge for the wraps if your dog is soaking the wraps in excess. There will be a charge of $1.00 per wrap used 

•  This additional charge will be up to the discretion of the staff and the number of wraps used during your dogs stay.  

• Does your dog have any food allergies or food sensitives?  I like to do a lot of activities that involve treats. They are training treats so they are low calorie, no grain, high protein treats to keep them as healthy as possible but I like to know if there is a possibility of allergic reaction or upset stomach to watch for or to know to avoid treats altogether 

• Do you have a family member at home with any allergies such as nuts? I cannot guarantee that all of my treats are nut/allergen free or come from a nut/allergen free facility. I also have many dogs that need medications that tend to be given with vessels such as peanut butter sent from home. So please let me know if you have allergy concerns at home so I can ensure your dog is not in contact with any sources that can cause reactions when your dog goes home 

• Is your dog a toy eater? I have many different types of toys such as plushy toys. Although I do monitor the dogs when they are out playing with toys, some dogs are very quick to swallow things they are not supposed to when they enjoy doing so. I have no problem putting such toys away during your dogs stay to maintain safety but you must let me know.
