Dog boarding FAQ

How much is dog boarding at Paw Tales?

Suites start at $35 a night. Rainbow, Dream and Lotus suites are priced by size, and you can see every suite and price on our Lodging page, or use the price estimator there.

What does my dog need to stay?

Current vaccinations, and dogs one year of age and older must be spayed or neutered. Dogs joining daycamp during their stay complete a quick assessment first.

Can I drop off early or pick up late?

Dogs who've passed their daycare assessment can arrive in the morning and join daycamp until their suite is ready. Not a daycare dog? Early drop-off is $25.

Can I see my dog while I'm away?

Yes. Lotus suites offer an in-suite webcam add-on, and daycamp guests can be seen on our live daycare cameras.
