Before you book

Please have everything below ready. Without it, we’re unable to schedule your dog’s temperament evaluation, which every new guest completes before their first stay or daycare day.

  • Current vaccines, with records from your vet: Rabies, DHPP (distemper/parvo) and Bordetella. Leptospirosis is not required, but we highly recommend it.
  • A negative fecal test for Giardia within the last 6 months
  • Free of fleas and ticks
  • Free of any symptoms, including suspected allergies. Coughing, sneezing or runny eyes can be an undiagnosed upper respiratory infection, so please wait until your vet has cleared your dog.
  • Senior dogs in good health must be pre‑approved with clearance from your vet. For their own safety, we’re unable to accept dogs with severe health issues.
  • Your online profile completed: owner profile, pet profile and the signed Uptown Paw agreement

Dogs over 6 months who aren’t spayed or neutered: $10 per day or night. We can’t accept females in heat.
