Meet and Greet
Our Meet and Greet process is an important component of our safety protocols. We need to ensure your dog is a good fit with an open play environment. All daycare and boarding dogs have gone through the Meet and Greet process. Once your appointment is confirmed, you’ll receive an email with a link to your online dashboard. From there, you can complete registration, upload vaccination records, and review and sign our Pet Parent Agreement. Need help? We’re happy to call your vet to collect records on your behalf!
Meet and Greet Information
What to Expect on Meet and Greet Day
Bring your dog on a leash with a collar or harness when you arrive. One of our trained evaluators will spend 20–30 minutes getting to know your pup. While we assess your dog, feel free to ask questions, watch the playrooms live, and tour the facility. If your pup passes, they’re welcome to stay the rest of the day—on us!
