Pet Requirements for 24-hr Care:
· Up to date on shots & Fixed: Rabies, Distemper and Bordetella. Proof of vaccines are required. Also, monthly flea, tick heartworm prevention to help keep all pets comfortable and healthy.
· Fully house-trained: While we understand that occasional accidents can happen, we are unable to care for dogs/cats that are not fully house-trained or that are known to mark indoors.
· One year or older: For the comfort of everyone involved, we care for dogs/cats aged one year and up who have outgrown most puppy/kitty behaviors, such as chewing, high energy levels, or lack of reliable potty/litter training.
· Any pet other than dog or cat must come with a cage or enclosed playpen.
· Enjoy people. We’re happiest caring for pets who are comfortable around people and have no history of being aggressive, nipping or biting.
· Friendly with other dogs. Although your dog will be the only one in the pet palace, we prefer to host social dogs who are comfortable interacting with dogs if we take them for walks or they see another dog on adjacent properties. For everyone’s safety, we’re unable to accommodate dogs with known aggression or ongoing challenges with other dogs.
· Comfortable and used to being in a home setting: Since dogs will be staying on our property, we’re best suited for dogs/pets who are respectful of household items and do not have destructive chewing habits, etc.
· Considerate with noise: To keep a calm environment for everyone, including our neighbors, we care for dogs who are generally quiet and do not frequently bark or howl for extended periods.
· Identification for safety: All pets must wear a collar with up-to-date ID tags during their stay.
· Flea-free stays. We’re unable to accept pets who currently have fleas or who have had fleas within the month prior to their visit.
