After some debate I will be changing my pricing by adding a fee to boarding and daycare dogs. As I am a small operation, I have always set myself apart by approaching boarding a little bit differently. Having my boarders in my own home rather than in our kennels constantly. But, when you have a toddler, things are a bit different. Barking dogs make it difficult for her to nap, she is at “dog level” and doesn’t even like them smelling her or following her. So because of this she wants to be carried ALL THE TIME, EVERYWHERE!! 🤦♀️ In addition, I’ve had too many people tell me that their dogs are potty trained and that is just not the case, unfortunately. So, for her comfort and the sake of preventing more damage in my home I will be adding a $50 fee to every boarders stay. If you, as the owner would like your dog in my home this will be paid upfront. That way, if accidents or damage occurs then I can help cover that. If you would prefer not to pay the $50 fee then your dog will be in the kennel if I can’t supervise and overnight. I still want the dogs that stay to have a family experience but it is not worth my child’s happiness or at the cost of our house getting ruined. If your dog has an uneventful stay and no damage/accidents occur then I will happily give you back the $50.
I love what I do, but it’s been difficult lately so things have to change. I hopeful that when Ella is older and we make some changes to our property I can do away with a damage fee.
Also, a daycare fee ($25) will be added to any boarding dog being picked up after 12 pm. I charge by night so if you don’t pick your dog up until afternoon/evening, that’s another day of care.
We have come to the end of our first year in Zearing and with any new place kinks have to be worked out. I hope you all understand! And if you have questions just let me know!!
