Add Ons

🚀 Popular Add-Ons for an Upgraded Experience We include the kind of daily care others upcharge for — because great care should never be extra. But if you'd like to add a little something special to your pet’s booking, we offer thoughtfully curated add-ons to make their stay even more personalized, convenient, or memorable. Enhance any booking with these optional add-ons: 🚗 Pick-Up & Drop-Off Hassle-Free Transportation for Busy Pet Parents While our standard care begins once your pet is in our hands, this upgrade covers the trip to and from your home. Skip the drive and let us handle transport — perfect for busy schedules, travel days, or early morning meetings. +$10 RT (within 5 miles) 🎓 Basic Manners & Obedience Session Teach or Reinforce Everyday Skills Our included care always uses positive reinforcement, but this focused 1-on-1 session takes it a step further. We’ll work on core obedience cues like sit, down, stay, leash manners, and polite greetings—tailored to your pet’s learning stage. Great for new learners, rusty routines, or continuing training while you're away. +$30 📸 Premium Pet Portrait Package Frame-Worthy Moments, Captured With Care Daily photos are always included to keep you connected — but this add-on is all about creating keepsakes. You’ll receive a small gallery of high-quality, thoughtfully composed shots that highlight your pet’s personality and charm. Perfect for printing, sharing, or simply treasuring long after their stay. +$15 🐕 Extra Walks & Enrichment Play Burn Extra Energy with Personalized Activity While daily exercise and play are always part of our routine, this add-on gives high-energy pets even more engagement. Includes a custom walk or focused play session to boost physical activity and mental stimulation. Great for active dogs, young pups, or pets who thrive on movement and interaction. +$20 🌳 Field Trip Adventure A Mini Getaway Tailored to Your Pet Every stay includes enrichment — but this add-on is for pets who love fresh air and new places. Think of it as a mini field trip: a nature walk, park visit, or light hike designed just for your pet. (Available with Boarding, House Sitting, and Day Care) +$20 🍖 Gourmet Treat or Take-Home Toy A Sweet Ending to a Great Stay Your pet will always be cared for with love — but this upgrade adds a final flourish. Choose between a homemade, pet-safe treat or a brand-new toy for them to take home and enjoy. It’s our version of a parting gift (with tail wags guaranteed). +$15 🛁 Bath & Brush Refresh Leave Clean, Soft, and Camera-Ready We include light grooming care, like brushing and hygiene checks — but this full refresh helps your pet feel their best before heading home. Includes a gentle bath and brushing to remove dirt and loose fur (not a full grooming or haircut). Ideal for longer stays or pups who love to play hard. +$15 How to Add an Upgrade: Add-ons are available with any service and can be selected during booking or added anytime before your scheduled appointment. Just let us know what your pet would enjoy — we’ll take care of the rest!

Supplemental Charges 

🐶 Puppy Care Fee Extra Attention for Your Growing Pup Puppies bring endless joy—and a little extra work! Because young dogs require more frequent potty breaks, supervised play, and training reinforcement, our Puppy Care Fee ensures they get the tailored attention they need to stay happy, safe, and well-cared for during their stay. Puppy Rate: +$5 per night (for dogs under 6 months old) ✔️ Includes: • Extra outdoor breaks & cleanup • Gentle socialization & playtime • Reinforcement of basic manners (if applicable) • Patience and puppy-proofed spaces 📌 Why the fee? Puppies demand more time and care—this helps us provide the best experience for them (and you)! 🎄 Holiday Rates Premium Care During Peak Seasons Holidays are a time for celebration—and high demand for pet care! To ensure we can accommodate all our furry guests while compensating our team fairly during busy periods, a Holiday Rate applies on select dates. Dates Included: • Major holidays (e.g., Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, July 4th) • Holiday weekends (Friday–Monday) Holiday Rate: +$10 per night ✔️ What you get: • Guaranteed booking during peak times • Fully staffed care for your pet’s safety and comfort • Same love and attention as always—just with extra paws on deck! 📌 Early booking encouraged—spots fill fast! 🐾 Why These Rates Exist ✔️ Fair compensation for staff working holidays/overtime ✔️ Higher demand = more resources needed (space, staffing, supplies) ✔️ Specialized care for puppies ensures their unique needs are met ✔️ Transparent pricing—no hidden fees or surprises 💡 Questions? We’re happy to explain how these fees help us provide the best care possible!
