Are you Available During the Holidays?

Can I Bring Extra Toys, Blankets, Beds, or Goodies for my pup?

Do you watch other pets, besides dogs?

What Do I Need to Bring?

We always encourage a comfort item or two from home! However, items may be removed from suites if it becomes a hazard to your pet, or any others on premises.

We ask that you please REFRAIN from bringing a large amount of toys and/or food/water bowls- we have plenty!! Walkin' Paws Flint is NOT responsible for any lost or damaged items.

Always! Holidays are what we call our "peak times," they are almost always our busiest, and book up the soonest! It's possible we are already booking holidays for next season already, so let us know what dates you're thinking! Also note, peak times have peak rates: $10/service/night.

What services do you Offer/What are your rates?

Please check out our packing checklist for our step by step packing guide for your pets' stay!

Absolutely! The more, the merrier! Small Animals such as rodents and reptiles are always welcome. Unfortunately, we are unable to care for farm animals or cat/kittens at this time.

Walkin' Paws doesn't believe in breed restrictions, but we do realize all pups are different. Our home is not always the best fit for certain personality types, and that is totally okay! Excessive barkers, reactive or aggressive behaviors may result in a more proper placement. We will always work with you to find a better fit!

Nope! Introductory Days are a simple half days of daycare. They give our furry friends a chance to get comfortable here, learn the layout and humans of our home, and get familiar with all of the smells prior to an overnight stay! And of course, It gives us a great chance to meet!

We do! In order to respect all of our guests' time, we do have a late fee in place. When choosing your appointment time, you will have a 15 minute buffer zone, before and after your appointment. This is your set window, and please arrive within that timeframe. Arrivals/Departures outside of their designated windows, will be subject to our late fee. Please keep this in mind when booking your appointment times.

We have one of those too! We do understand life happens, and will always do our best to work with you. However, after an initial cancellation, cancellations of full service or singular nights within seven days of a designated service start date will result in a 50% retainer held of your entire invoice total. Cancellations of full service or singular nights within TWO days of a designated service start date may result in a complete invoice retainer.

Please check out our Rates & Services page for our ENTIRE service and price list!

Yes. To validate our Stress Free Protocol and to respect our clients, our staff, and the furry friends inside our home, we have set appointment times for you to choose from. We ask that you please set, and hold your appointment times placed for checkin & checkouts.

Unfortunately, we do not. We would love nothing more than to host your furry friend though!
