Yes. Please feel free to bring your pet’s food and treats, packaged separately, in plastic storage bags labeled with your pet’s name. Make sure to have each food bag filled with one serving of your pet’s food. We feed our guests at 7am and 6pm each day, so if your pet is staying with us for three days, pack six bags of proportioned food.
For treats, please label the bag with the time of day you wish your pet to receive his treat; otherwise he will receive his treat at noon every day. If you don’t wish to supply your pet’s food, we serve Science Diet Sensitive Stomach to all of our guests. If you don’t wish to supply treats, you may order them from our a la carte menu.

Yes. You may bring in two toys for your pet to play with that will stay in his resort suite. You may also bring one “creature comfort” for your pet, like his favorite blanket. Please note that we are not responsible for the state of your pet’s possessions if they are torn or soiled in any way. Please don’t bring food or water bowls, or beds. Those are already supplied at our luxury resort.
We accept cash, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. We do not accept CareCredit or checks.
A non-refundable deposit (50% of total stay cost) is required to confirm your pet’s reservation. If you need to cancel more than 24 hours after payment, your deposit will become store credit that can be applied to future stays or services.
Since we are a small boutique resort, we reserve the right to move your pet to a lesser accommodation or a clinic if we are sold out. However, we understand that plans can change, and we will do our best to accommodate.
If your pet experiences an emergency situation while under our care, they will be transferred to Doral Centre Animal Hospital where they will receive immediate medical attention. Our staff will attempt to reach you or your emergency contact right away. You will be responsible for any expenses incurred, due to your pet being hospitalized in an emergency while they are under our care, and you agree to hold us harmless if any medical illness or emergency arises while your pet is under our care.
During inclement weather emergencies like hurricanes, we are obligated to staff our luxury resort to care for and protect your pets, and incur the cost of a generator and other emergency supplies. For this reason, we will apply the holiday surcharge of $12/day to cover the cost of inclement weather emergencies as well as the cost of the generator and other emergency supplies.
We do not board human aggressive, epileptic, or diabetic pets.
