Dog boarding is the same as โpet sittingโ - itโs just a term used when your dog stays overnight at a space away from your home. The dictionary definition in this case describes boarding as:
To provide (a person or animal) with regular meals and somewhere to live in return for payment.
At our space, boarding (pet sitting) includes feeding, potty breaks, and overnight care. We create an environment that mimics home life as much as possible during their stay with us at Sit Social: Little Dog Lounge, while also having the added benefits of play time with other dog friends to burn energy so theyโre ready to rest when night time comes. We have 3 boarding options including crated overnight boarding, cage free overnight boarding, and solo overnight crated boarding for pups who prefer humans only.
Dogs are creatures of habit and repetition and often feel abandoned and anxious if left somewhere they've never been. Many facilities will not tell you this because they simply want your money. To avoid those feelings of stress, depression, confusion and abandonment on your pup, we encourage repetition prior to the stay so they know this is a safe and familiar place where they get to have fun and that no - you are not abandoning them - they will get to go home to you. That is where the repetition comes in. They've been here, they have fun, they go home. They understand this pattern which helps lessen anxiety for a longer stay. We want the best for your pup - so let's set them up for success with a positive, stress free experience when they stay. This is why at minimum we require an interview day for your pup at our space to ensure it will be a good fit on both ends.
If your dog is new to our space and exhibits higher than normal anxiety, it is recommended that after they pass their paid interview visit day - that they attend a few daycare sessions leading up to and immediately prior to their boarding visit in order to lessen the anxiety of being in a new space.
We offer cage free boarding in our dog hotel for *$125+ per 24 hr period. We do have some crates on site for dogs who prefer them or require them overnight (such as brand new puppies who may chew etc)
*Peak holiday weeks and weekends have additional peak rates
*Prices subject to change at any time with/without notice.
Dog boarding pricing can vary from every business depending on city, accommodation, and amenities provided. Our listed rates cover a 24 hr period for boarding. So for example, if your pup is dropped off at 10am, and picked up by 10am of the next day, that would cover one โnightโ of boarding with us at our dog hotel. Somewhat similar to a human hotel stay, but we have flexibility with pickup/dropoff times.
Our boarding pricing ranges from $125 +per night depending on peak seasons (plus you may add on services like treat time, walks, grooming for additional pricing) and covers up to a 24 hr period (which breaks down to only $5-$7 per hour when you do the math!) Our small dog boarding includes hours of playtime, feeding, potty breaks, a pupdate (photo/video of your dog during their stay to let you know how they are doing) and a cozy overnight space with ambient music, fuzzy blankets, beds, and a safe space to rest after a day of play with us.
For the safety of all dogs it is recommended that dogs be fully vaccinated before 6 months of age. We understand that sometimes people adopt new puppies and have to go out of town unexpectedly so we are able to make slight exceptions to the rules for a fee on an individual basis. Reach out to the owner of the business to discuss.
As a standard, all dogs in dog daycare playgroups or boarding must have proof of the following vaccinations and shots uploaded to their pet profile to be admitted for boarding or playgroup:
Rabies
Bordetella
Influenza
No Intestinal Parasites
Clean Fecal Test
At Sit Social Little Dog Lounge, Hotel & Spa, we understand that some dogs prefer humans only. This is why we have a special setup for solo overnight in home boarding option. Depending on staff availability we may be able to provide an in home pet sitter for you so your pup can rest easy in the comfort of your home where they are happiest.
Best for pups who prefer the company of humans
Feeding
Potty Breaks
Staff Sleeps Overnight
For the safety of all dogs it is recommended that dogs be spayed or neutered before 6 months of age. We understand that there may be special circumstances around this timeline so we are able to make slight exceptions to the rules for a fee on an individual basis. Reach out to the owner of the business to discuss.
The main reason that all dog boarding and dog daycare facilities require a spay/neuter is to avoid risks of pregnancy and also to avoid reactivity in the pack. Dogs emit different hormones when they are still intact and it can cause reactive/aggressive behavior within the pack as they try to assert dominance. If your male dog is intact you may notice this reactivity from other dogs on walks or in playtime at dog parks. We recommend spaying and neutering all pets.
Your dog should only board at any facility including ours if they are free from parasites or contagious diseases. Make sure to do a follow up visit with your vet to ensure they are healthy before bringing them to a shared space with other dogs. Ideally your dog should be illness and disease free for at least a few days to a week before boarding or daycare.
Yes we are happy to administer medications to your dog. There is a small fee per administration since it takes additional time for staff to provide this service.
In order to ensure your medicines are properly administered, you must print a very clear set of instructions and tape it to the front and inside of your dog's medicine container. Meds must be portioned out in a pill container box and labeled with dates of stay to ensure proper administration - you must also send your pet with medication administration tools such as cheese, peanut butter, pill pockets, or other means to get your pet to take their medicine.
Medicines that do not fit in a pill container box must be sent in their own separate container with clearly labeled instructions printed and taped to the container along with any necessary means to administer the medication (ie syringes, cheese, pill pockets etc).
