Drop Off & Check Out
Medications and Emergencies
Must Be Spayed or Neutered
Please take your dogs potty before coming to the kennel or once you get here.
It should be noted that all pets are checked for fleas upon arrival. If fleas are present, Almost Home Kennels will flea treat pets at owners' expense. Dogs with fleas or excessively dirty dogs will be charged a $35 fee for an emergency bath PLUS the full price of the bath.
Drop-off and Pick-up by appointment only.
“By appointment only” allows us to spend more time with our boarding guests, prepare your pet for pick-up by gathering their personal belongings, totaling bills, and removing pets from play area as needed. This method creates less stress on our boarding guests and staff.
Check-out time is before 12 PM (Noon). Pets picked up after 12 PM (Noon) will be charged an additional day.
After-hours pick-up or drop-off is only available if staff is available for an additional $40. Please call and leave a message if you’d like after-hours pick-up/drop-off and we will reply to let you know if we are available.

Everyone has an individual sleeping place at night in a personal kennel suite with soft blankets and, for dogs not prone to chewing, a baby bed mattress! We request that you leave blankets, food dishes, and water dishes at home as we have our own that can be properly sanitized. Treats are welcome.
Food must be brought in easy-open plastic containers labeled with your last name and pet’s first name, and make sure they are appropriately sized for the length of your pet's stay. No coffee cans, grocery bags, caulk buckets, etc. Do not bring scoops, coffee mugs, or cups, only bring proper measuring cups. Canned wet food must be pop top. If your pet's food is not in an appropriate container you will be charged $2/day for one of our containers. Please measure the appropriate amount of food for your pet's stay and bag each serving separately. Unless the amount is different for each feeding, do not label the individual bags with dates.
Let us know if the amount of food they eat has changed from previous stay.
