December 22-27 is already booked (12 dogs). I usually allow us to accept up to 15 over the holidays because we don't have as many daycare pups. If you need boarding over those dates, you need to let me know as soon as possible. Masks & Covid When will it end? I know it can be annoying so I wanted to share with you all that I'm not able to get my Covid boosters due to the reactions I had after my last booster. Due to the fatigue that I already struggle with (thank you Narcolepsy), getting Covid literally leads to me being unable to function. So please continue to take precautions, please ..read more

If you are a new client, you will need to accept the pet services contract before we can confirm your pups stay. I can't make you read it, but I highly encourage it. Periodically, we will be updating the pet services contract and all pet parents will need to accept the most recent version. You are responsible for knowing the content of the pet services contract and can access it at any time from your reservation portal. If you are not prompted to accept the pet services contract, you can find it under the "More Actions" button when you log into your pet reservation portal ..read more

Hey friends! I have tried to write this blog a few times. I actually posted one of them and then deleted it almost immediately. However, I really think I owe it to you all to let you in on what's happening in my world. My biggest issue with this blog is that I feel that it's whiny and attention seeking and I really despise those behaviors. Please believe, I am not sharing this for attention, hugs, sympathy, ect. You can actually completely ignore everything I'm sharing and pretend to have not read it. I'm fine with that. My personal life is a bit chaotic right now and unfortunately, as much as ..read more

I try not to blog when I'm feeling an intense emotion... but here we are...and here I go. TL;DR: Trust no one. Question everyone. There is no special paper that makes someone qualified to care for your pet. Recently, I have seen a lot of articles that dog (haha, pun intended) the dog walking/ pet sitting apps. You know the ones. These articles tell you about dogs who die in the care of these negligent random people, who have no background in dog care, no skills, no insurance, ect. The articles want you to believe that the people who are providing services on these apps are dog-ignorant and loo ..read more

Hey friends!! I hope everyone is doing well and having the most enjoyable holiday season that they can, all things considered! Effective immediately, Arch City Dog Boarding will be closed on Saturdays (for pick up and drop off appointments, we will still be providing boarding services through the weekend) and we will be closing at 6pm during the week. Additionally, we will be reducing the number of daycare dogs accepted per day. Anyone who *currently* has reservations that start or stop on a Saturday will not be impacted and people with regular appointment times past 6pm will not be impacted ..read more

Hey friends!! Many of you know that Arch City Dog Boarding started as a small little endeavor to pay my bills and has grown into the wonderful, amazing, breath taking business that it is today. Over the years I have learned that some things need to be said, written down, and added to policy because not *everyone* always starts off on the same page. So, as we roll into 2020, here is an updated Pet Service Agreement (it says contract on the reservation portal and I can't change that, but I prefer the term agreement). Here it is in its entirety, with the new items highlighted. By accepting this a ..read more

Hello friends!! I've decided to create short blog posts answering your questions about your reservation portal. I'll also be making videos for those of you who prefer to watch the steps! Log in to your portal and on the main screen, you can click on "Manage pets" or click on your pups picture and click "edit pet." Then you can update how much they eat, if they have any allergies (under treats), and if there have been any changes in medications! Click "Save" when you're finished and ta-da! Your pups information has been updated ..read more

Hey friends! I've been chatting with some of you about daycare 2.0. Before we talk about what's new, let's take a step back and talk about traditional daycare. For a very long time, doggie daycare has consisted of a lot of pups running and playing all day while mom and/or dad are running errands or working. Pups go home exhausted, mom and/or dad get to relax, and everyone is happy. A new trend has started to emerge that goes against this basic model. The reason? We're discovering that all day play isn't necessarily the best thing for our dogs. The risk of injury may increase, pups can become a ..read more

Hello! I just wanted to create a quick blog post to cover some of the most used reservation features! From the dashboard of your reservation portal, you can cancel a reservation, confirm the dates, see if we're missing vaccination information, and make sure we have your up to date contact information. We do need the phone number for your emergency contact! I've blocked out Aubreys number for her privacy, but they wont be a very effective emergency contact if I'm unable to contact them! If you need up update the dates or add notes you can click on the "View details" tab. If you need to upload ..read more
