Frequently Asked Questions
What does "doggy daycare" consist of?
Doggy daycare is offered for families that worry about their dog being left in their kennel, at home, alone, all day. They would be dropped off in the mornings and picked up that same evening. Your dog will be taken out on numerous walks and/or have plenty of time to stretch their paws in the dog run. Dogs are NEVER together in the back run unless they are from the same household. If your dog is on medications that are needed throughout the day, we can help with that! Doggy daycare includes a daily enrichment (indoor or outdoor dependent on weather), many treats, and lots of one-on-one time with a human doing your pet's favorite things.
Will my pet be mixed with other pets?
Absolutely not! If you would like your dogs to interact with other dogs, I can give you some suggestions to wonderful locations that do that, but Sunny Paws will not be one of them. I do not want to risk the health and well-being of anyone's furry family members by mixing your pets with others.
What does boarding consist of?
Boarding consists of the same thing as doggy daycare; medications as needed, plenty of fun, and 2 feedings a day (morning and evening). as well as a cozy, safe place to sleep every night. If they are staying during the week, they will also get to do the daily enrichment activities.
What do I send with my dog?
What you decide to send with your pet is completely based on their needs. Some dogs that have never been kenneled before do well if you send them with a worn, unwashed, item of your clothing (if they can be trusted not to tear it up or eat it) to help comfort them while you are away. You may want to send a favorite toy or blanket with them as well (again, if they can be trusted not to tear it up or eat it). Otherwise, just the basics like a harness/collar, their food, and any medications they are on. We have a small fridge and microwave on the premises for chilled food and medications.
How do drop off and pick up work?
At your first drop-off, please plan on spending extra time having a meeting with a Sunny Paws staff member to make sure we know everything we should about your pet(s). There will be paperwork to fill out and we will note their feeding preferences, medication needs, and your personal preferences for your pet.Â
PLEASE WAIT OUTSIDE until you are greeted by a staff member. The lobby is small and we may have an animal in there checking in or out. Normal check-in or out takes about 5 minutes.
How do payments work?
Acceptible forms of payment are cash, check, venmo or card. There is a 3% fee if paying with card.
