Holiday Boarding
Thanksgiving, Christmas and spring break with the handlers your dog already knows — daily photos while you are away, and a calm building because holiday numbers are capped. From $74 a night.
Booked From September, Capped By Design
Holiday weeks sell out every year, and we cap them on purpose: fewer dogs, the same senior handlers, no seasonal temp staff learning names on Christmas Eve. Regulars get first refusal from September 1st, then remaining suites open to assessed dogs on October 1st.
Holiday stays run exactly like year-round overnight boarding — full daycare days, private suites, nightly photos — with two additions: a holiday enrichment hour (snuffle trails, carols optional) and a report card worth keeping.
What's Different At The Holidays
Familiar faces only
No agency temps. Holiday weeks are staffed by the handlers your dog sees all year, on overtime they actually volunteer for.
Capped numbers
We take fewer dogs at Christmas than in October. It costs us money and it is why the building stays calm when it matters most.
Daily photo, twice at Christmas
Morning play photo and lights-out photo through the holiday weeks. Your family group chat will be well supplied.
Flexible edges
Drop off the weekend before, collect as late as December 26th or January 2nd. Edge nights are billed at the standard $64 rate.
Holiday Windows
A 30% deposit holds your suite; it moves to any future stay with two weeks' notice. Peak nights below are the holiday windows themselves.
| Window | Rate |
|---|---|
| Thanksgiving week (Nov 24–30) | $74 |
| Christmas & New Year (Dec 22–Jan 2) | $74 |
| Spring break (Mar 14–22) | $74 |
| Edge nights around windows | $64 |
Holiday Questions
Regulars can reserve from September 1st and usually fill two-thirds of suites by mid-October. Remaining places open October 1st and are typically gone by early November. If you are reading this in December, call anyway — cancellations happen.
Only with a rehearsal: a free assessment day plus at least one daycare day and one standard overnight before December. A first-ever stay during the busiest week is rough on a dog — we insist on the warm-up.
The 30% deposit moves to any future stay with two weeks' notice, no quibbles. Inside two weeks it converts to daycare credit. We would rather you rebook than lose you.
