We rise at sunrise every morning! Appointments begin at 7:30 AM Pick-ups and Drop offs are available daily (excluding Tuesday afternoons) by Appointment Only. Meet & Greets are scheduled Wednesday, Friday and every other Sunday. We offer 7 hours a day Wednesday to Monday (between, 7:30 AM to noon and 4-5:45 PM) for scheduling appointments. However we work around the clock to provide care for our fur guests. We feed around 7 AM and 6 PM Appointments include 20 minutes to accommodate the needs of our guests and their questions. Approved scheduled pick-ups or drop-offs (outside our regular hours) may incur an agreed upon up charge. We realize sometimes travel plans do not work out as planned so we also have an after hours option to pick up your pet from our back porch. We are closed to visitors at 6 PM on non-holidays to begin feeding the pack. Rest assured your pups are cared for around the clock and not left alone more than 4 hours at a time. We observe major holidays by not scheduling appointments for pick-up or drop-off so we have more flexibility to spend time with family and friends. Rest assured your pets are pampered and provided extra care on the holidays.

A Meet & Greet is a complementary service where we introduce our dogs and answer each others questions to ensure we are a good fit. The meeting last less than 20 minute in our front yard. Midway through the M&G Lucida takes your fur baby (without you) to our fenced in backyard to perform a Temperament Test and introduce them (one by one) to our pack. Lucinda send pictures and come back to share her assessment. What we look for during the Temperament Testing is for your dog to be well adjusted, obedient, well trained and play nice with other dogs. Here is a list of behaviors that require additional attention at an agreed-upon fee: puppy-like behavior overly excited not neutered or spayed chews scratches doors escape prone digs counter serfs jumps barks excessively overly anxious pulls on leash cries or whines for attention barging through doors humping nips at other animals
