Sleep Overs
"Home away from Home" dog sitting

Planning a vacation or a business trip?
Our Sleep Overs program, only available to Wags Clients, provides a great alternative to a traditional kennel.

Your dogs come to Wags during the day, and one of our professional, experienced staff members takes them home at night.

Cuddling up on the couch, going for a run in the woods... we offer a unique "Home away from Home" service for your dogs. See below for details...

Who can have "Sleep Overs?"

This service is exclusively for our regular Wags clients. Our staff can only take a limited number of dogs, we keep them in our own homes, and treat them like family, so there is big demand for this service.

We ask that your dog has been to Wags at least 4 times in the most recent 30 days, so that we can give our regular clients first priority.

We like to keep our families, neighbors, and landlords happy, so we can only accept dogs that are well behaved, house-trained, non-destructive and non-aggressive to people and other dogs.

We know that some dogs and owners may have needs that can only be met at your own house. We can do Sleep Overs at your house for an additional charge. This service is very limited in its availability.

Some dogs require extra-special care, especially those that suffer from extreme separation anxiety, destructive behaviors if left alone, etc. Due to the intensive supervision these dogs require, we apply a surcharge for their Sleep Overs. We also recommend a no charge "trial night" sleep over to assess dogs who may suffer from these issues.

What do we charge?

Per night:

• At our houses: $40 (1 dog), $55 (2 dogs)
• At your house: $55 (1 dog), $65 (2 dogs)
  Additional pets and house-sitting duties may incur additional fees.
• Special Needs dogs: $20 surcharge (minimum)

• Sleep Over fees are paid directly to the staff member taking your dog home.
• Regular day care fees apply to the days that your dog is at Wags, in addition to the overnight fees above.
• Major Holidays: $20 surcharge (e.g. New Years, 4th of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas, etc.)
• Payment is requested in advance.

Making arrangements:

• Call Wags early to book your Sleep Overs! We book up fast for peak times!
• Drop off your dogs at Wags by noon the day of your departure - this helps them burn off extra nervous energy and makes it easier for them to settle at our house at night.
• Pick-ups by 6:30 pm Monday-Friday, and by 5:00 on Saturday and Sunday. Late pick-ups need to be arranged in advance with the person taking care of your dog, and will incur an additional $20 fee.
• Cancellations less than 48 hours in advance will require full payment of Sleep Over fees, unless we are able to fill your spot from our waiting list. During peak vacation times, we often have to turn people away, who then make other arrangements. Your careful planning helps us to provide better service. Thank you for your consideration.

Important things to remember!

• Call ahead to book your reservations - we do fill up, especially during peak vacation times and holiday weekends.
• Fill out the this agreement and authorization form, and include emergency contact information for us.
• Plan to pick up your dogs before 6:30 pm Monday-Friday, and before 5:00 pm on Saturdays and Sundays to avoid the extra $20 late pick-up fee.
• We do this because we LOVE dogs, and we are happy to help you when you go away. Advance notice of changes to your plans helps us serve all of our customers better, and helps us plan our lives with our families and friends as well. Thanks for your support!
