A&A Doggy Daycare Policies

Policies for Safe, Small-Group Care

At A&A Doggy Daycare LLC, our goal is to provide safe, comfortable, small-group care with familiar caregivers and a dependable routine. Please review the policies below before scheduling daycare or boarding.

​

 

DROP-OFF, PICK-UP & ARRIVAL

  • Daycare hours are Monday through Friday, 6:00 AM to 5:30 PM, and Saturday, 8:00 AM to 5:30 PM. Sunday daycare is closed.

  • Boarding care is offered seven days a week, but boarding drop-off and pickup times must be arranged in advance.

  • [All dogs must remain securely leashed from the time they leave your vehicle until they are safely inside, and again during pickup until they are secured in your vehicle.

  • Please text our business phone when you arrive, and we will let you know when we are ready to meet you.

  • Drop-offs / pick-ups can be made at any time, and we prefer a written notice beforehand. Late pickups after 5:30 PM will be charged $10.00 for every 30 minutes.

 

HEALTH & VACCINATION REQUIREMENTS

  • Dogs must be current on standard vaccinations, including Bordetella (kennel cough), before attending daycare or boarding.

  • Please provide current vaccination records before your dog's first stay and whenever records are renewed.

  • Required vaccinations: Rabies, DHPP/distemper-parvo, and Bordetella.

  • Dogs showing coughing, sneezing, vomiting, diarrhea, unusual lethargy, fever, parasites, or another potentially contagious condition must remain home until symptom-free for 5 days or cleared by a veterinarian.

 

MEET-AND-GREETS, INTRODUCTIONS & GROUP FIT

  • We recommend a free meet-and-greet before a dog's first stay.

  • Dogs are introduced to the group gradually, and care decisions are based on safety, comfort, and each dog's individual needs.

  • Not every dog is suited to group daycare, and activities may be adjusted based on weather, scheduling, safety, and group fit. 

  • A trial boarding night may be required before a longer stay. 

  • If a dog appears uncomfortable or displays behavior that may be unsafe for people or other dogs, we may separate the dog from the group and contact the owner.

 

DAYCARE SCHEDULING, CANCELLATIONS & PAYMENT

  • We intentionally maintain a small, personally managed group. Advance notice helps us plan safe staffing, introductions, rest, and activity.

  • Daycare and boarding cancellations or no-shows will not be refunded.

  • Payment is due at time of pick-up for flex daycare.

  • Payment is due 4 weeks in advance for boarding to secure your spots.

  • Dogs may experience minor scrapes, soreness, or other incidental injuries during normal play and activity.

  • We will notify the owner of any significant health or safety concern as soon as reasonably possible.

 

DAMAGE, CLEANUP & ADDITIONAL CARE

  • Additional fees may apply for excessive cleanup, extended pickup delays, special handling, transportation, or care beyond the booked service when authorized or necessary for the dog's safety.

 

POLICY UPDATES & QUESTIONS

  • These policies are intended to keep expectations clear and support safe, dependable care for every dog and family.

  • These website policies supplement the signed service agreement and waiver; if the documents conflict, the signed agreement controls.
