ALL YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED

Our boarding creates a calm, stress-free environment that feels just like home. We differ from many other boarding facilities in the following ways:

• All guests stay in spacious, private suites — no kennels or crates.
• Room blocks house fewer dogs, separated by size, to reduce disruptions.
• Small group daycare is included with your stay, with built-in breaks throughout the day.
• One night means 24 hours of care with no arbitrary check-in or check-out times.
• Round-the-clock on-site supervision and partnerships with local veterinarians keep your dog safe.

We ask that customers make reservations online by clicking the "Book Now" button. Nighttime reservations can be made up to 6 months in advance and will be confirmed instantaneously, subject to availability. In the event there is no availability for your requested date(s), please send an email to your desired location’s respective email address (refer to Locations page) and you will be added to our waitlist.

Our website does not currently support Daytime reservations. Please refer to email instructions on the Locations page to schedule.

We are open for drop-off/pick-up between 6:30am - 6:30pm Monday - Friday, and between 9:00am - 6:30pm on weekends.

If you are unable to pick up your dogs by 6:30pm, they will transition to our Nighttime service and you will be billed accordingly.

Yes. We are proud to say we have staff on-site 24/7/365 to make sure your dogs are safe and cared for overnight.

While all of our staff are trained in canine first-aid and CPR, sometimes incidents happen. It's the nature of caring for dogs. We are partnered with local animal hospitals that operate 24/7, as well as with veterinarians offering telemedicine for more minor scenarios. In the event a dog requires urgent medical attention, we will notify you or your emergency contact and immediately transport the dog to the animal hospital for treatment.

Unless your dog requires meals or medication at lunchtime, we politely request you not pack anything for daycare.

It is strongly encouraged that dogs stay on the same diet while in our care, so we ask that you bring enough food to last the duration of the stay. No need to portion out feedings (though you may, if you'd like) — our Hosts will follow your feeding instructions.

You may also pack toys, treats and beds for your dogs but ask that you use discretion in doing so.

We have raised beds and house blankets that are washed thoroughly between stays, so feel free to leave blankets at home.

A single Nighttime reservation includes 24 hours of care at Yardstick in a designated suite. Included in the Nighttime rate is small group daycare during the daytime portions of the stay (refer to "What is small group daycare?" below).

Nighttime dogs will be fed and administered medication in accordance with your directions and will be given substantial time outside their suites, rotating between our playrooms, yards and sofa lounges.

We offer a limited selection of bathing services — departure bath and brush, dental chews, nail trim or grind, and ear cleaning — but do not offer full-service grooming. You may add any Bathtime services to your dogs’ visit at the time of booking or anytime during their stay.

Bathtime offerings are only available for our Nighttime and Daytime guests during their stay.

Our dog daycare is open Monday through Friday from 6:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. We do not offer daycare on weekends. We offer flexible drop-off and pick-up times within these hours to accommodate your schedule.

Yes, we require daycare reservations to ensure that we maintain the perfect balance of dogs in each playgroup. This allows us to provide the highest quality care and attention to each dog. You can easily book your dog's daycare stay online at https://www.yardstick.dog/locations.
