What do you have to offer that another boarding kennel or pet-sitter does not?

Pine Creek Pet Resort is not your ‘typical’ boarding kennel.

We will provide your pet with a vacation that includes a daily routine with exercise time and regular social interaction with our trained staff of dog and cat lovers. Your pets will enjoy lodging in a bright, safe engaging environment while you travel. In addition you may choose from various amenities that have been designed to direct your pets’ energies for a really fun filled vacation!

You can leave your worries behind, knowing that your ‘baby’ is safe and secure with love and attention every single day that you are away.

 

Does my pet need vaccinations to enjoy vacation time at Pine Creek Pet Resort?

YES. All pets must be up to date on vaccinations per your veterinarians’ and/or holistic health care providers recommendations and state laws. Rabies shots are required for all animals. Canine Core Vaccines and Bordatella for dogs, FVRCP and Leukemia for cats according to your chosen health care methods.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION! …

Maintaining the health and welfare of each and every one of our guests is as important to us as it is to you and your family member!

Our boarding protocols are designed to protect all of our pets’ health and wellness.

If your pets’ vaccinations are due please remember to call your pet health care provider for an appointment well in advance of their vacation. This will allow ample time to accommodate their office schedule and most importantly ample time for your pets’ immunities to build.

While modified live viruses may provide quicker immunity they also risk shedding, therefore in the event that you cannot have your pets’ required vaccines up to date a minimum of 7 days before their vacation please call us.

We will check availability of an isolated area for your pets’ lodging. Your pet will still enjoy plenty all regular routines and amenities chosen.

Your pets become our friends. Their various antics, personalities, love and challenges give all of us so much back in our lives.

Provide shot records:

You must bring in a copy of your pets up to date vaccinations and/or a health certificate from your veterinarian or holistic health care provider.

Ideally your pets should be vaccinated one month prior to boarding. This will allow time for immunities to build time and stress to work it’s way out.

If you have an emergency give us a call and we will discuss your pets’ situation. In most cases we can work out a solution.

If your pet care provider feels that it is not in the best interest of your pets’ health (Geriatric dogs, pets battling illnesses, etc.) to be vaccinated, please have them give us a call.  Those familiar with our protocols can supply a certificate of health in lieu of current vaccination protocol.

We accept vaccine titer test results with listed levels and recommendations of protection.  

In the best interest of maintaining a healthy environment for all our guests, we reserve the right to decline our services if your pet exhibits signs of illness.

 

Do I provide Flea & Tick Prevention?

Yes. All pets must be on a flea and tick prevention program or holistic regimen. This is a country kennel and we go outside daily.

 

What about Parasite control?

Most vets would strongly encourage your pet be wormed once a year. Worming regularly is highly beneficial to your pets health! Your veterinarian can provide you with the appropriate medicine or there are homeopathics available for those pets raised holistically.

What is the standard daily lodging fee and how am I expected to pay?

DOGS . . . . . $18.00 each calendar day your pet stays with us.

CATS . . . . . $ 10.00 each calendar day your pet stays with us.

* Rates are subject to change without notice and do not include any additional amenities or fees. Small group discounts may apply.

PAYMENT METHODS

We accept only Cash and GOOD Checks. We DO NOT accept credit cards at this time due to costly fees.

DEPOSITS for half of your pets’ lodging stay is payable upon drop off or taxi service pick up. The remainder of your invoice, including any amenities is due upon your pick up or taxi delivery.

 

Why do I pay a Daily rate even when I pick up during the am or almost mid-day?

Pine Creek Pet Resort provides an incredible value for your most precious family members. We are dedicated to providing your pet with the best care, loving attention, exercise and basic manners training every day and night they lodge with us.

Compare prices, our rates are a terrific value with all of the benefits included in even our standard prices!

 

What is included in the standard price of boarding?

All dogs are offered taken outside four times per day into our spacious fenced in yards.  Cats, being such independent individuals, are offered the opportunity to roam the cat room twice a day.

Most pet care facilities do not offer such an involved schedule as a standard daily practice.

George and I decided from the conception of this idea that we would offer the kind of service and attention that we provide for our own pets. The schedule we follow is very demanding, but it really works well for your pets. It allows us to provide service above and beyond the normal standards and the results show. Ask your veterinarian about us.

 

How long does my pet get to play outside during their standard outings?

Outings generally range from 5 to 15 minutes

Exactly how much time your dog is out is directly related to the needs of your pet. For example; 2 year old “Boone” is high energy and requires much exercise so he will be out longer than 14 year old “Gizmo” who is much more interested in a short walk to take care of business.

Will you board a young puppy?
