All boarding guests go outside a minimum of four times per day in one of our large, fenced yards for exercise and fresh air.
This outdoor rotation is included in our Standard Care Package, so every guest receives consistent potty breaks and movement throughout the day.
In addition to these scheduled outdoor sessions, we also offer a variety of individualized activity options and enrichment services that can be added to your pet’s stay. These add-ons provide extra one-on-one time, mental stimulation, and customized experiences based on your dog’s personality and needs.
Each outdoor session typically lasts 15–20 minutes per walk. The length of time may vary depending on the number of guests we have and the outside weather conditions.
They sure can! We do not try to force any guest to participate in a group if they are uncomfortable.
If your dog prefers individual time, we will happily walk them alone during their scheduled outdoor rotations. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always our priority.
We offer two feedings per day — morning (around 8:00am) and evening (around 4:00pm) — with the option to add a mid-day feeding if your pet requires it.
We will review your pet’s specific feeding instructions at check-in and apply those directions throughout their stay to help maintain their normal routine.
We kindly request that all food be pre-measured by meal and clearly labeled to ensure accuracy and efficiency during feeding times.
If needed, we are able to refrigerate and heat food according to your instructions.
Absolutely! Just let us know during your check-in process.
We are happy to separate pets for feeding to ensure each guest receives the proper amount of food according to their individual instructions.
However, we reserve the right to separate their boarding accommodations if eating different foods becomes a problem during their stay. It is important that all guests feel relaxed and comfortable while eating with us.
Yes, we do provide food for an additional fee.
However, we strongly recommend that you bring your pet’s regular food from home to help prevent digestive upset and keep their routine consistent during their stay.
Your pet’s suite is cleaned every time they go outside.
It is replenished with clean bedding (if necessary) and fresh water during each rotation. We also perform spot checks throughout the day to ensure everything stays clean and comfortable.
If there has been an accident, rest assured it will be cleaned up promptly so your pet’s space remains sanitary and inviting.
We use a veterinary-grade disinfectant to thoroughly sanitize suites and help maintain a safe, healthy environment for all of our guests.
No! They are actually very calm and quiet once they get used to our routine.
Of course, guests may be a bit more vocal during feeding and walking times, but overall our facility is calm once everyone settles in.
No, we do not offer a full grooming service.
However, we do offer our sPaw Packages, which include refreshing bath services with optional add-ons such as de-shedds, breath fresheners, nail trims, and more. Be sure to check out our full list of sPaw Services for details.
sPaw Packages can be added to any boarding or daycare reservation, or booked as a stand-alone service.
Yes, you can! We are open 7 days per week for your pick-up and drop-off convenience.
Our daily office hours are:
7:00am – 11:00am
2:00pm – 6:00pm
Please note that we are closed daily from 11:00am – 2:00pm and are not available for pick-ups or drop-offs during that time.
We are closed for pick-ups and drop-offs on all major holidays. While our office may be closed on those days, rest assured that your pups are still being well cared for by our team.
To keep our facility clean, organized, and running smoothly, we do not encourage bringing extra items from home such as bedding, toys, or bowls.
We provide comfortable accommodations, bedding, and bowls for all of our guests. Limiting outside items helps prevent lost belongings, damaged items, and cross-contamination between pets.
If you have a specific concern about your pet’s comfort, please reach out to us ahead of time so we can discuss the best option for your pet’s stay.
Yes! We can administer most medications during your pet’s stay. Most routine medications are given at no additional charge, as long as they are clearly labeled and come with written instructions.
Some medications require an additional fee due to the extra handling, monitoring, or specialized care involved — insulin is a common example.
Important: If your pet will be coming with medication, please let us know ahead of time (before drop-off). This allows our team to confirm we can safely accommodate your pet’s needs, clarify dosing instructions, and ensure a smooth (and safe) stay for everyone.
Submitting records is easy! You may:
Upload them through the Gingr Pet Parent Portal
Email them to petitepaws@shots.pet

Clearly written dosing instructions
Any necessary administering tools (pill pockets, syringes, etc.)
Please make sure all medications are clearly labeled with your pet’s name.
We also ask that you notify us ahead of time if your pet will be arriving with medication. This allows our team to review instructions, confirm dosing schedules, and ensure we can safely accommodate your pet’s specific needs.
