What If My Dog Doesn’t Do Well in Group Play?

Great news: we’ve got options!

Some dogs love the social scene. Others prefer a little more solitude. If your dog isn’t suited for playgroups—or just needs a slower pace—we offer:

For pups who don’t join group play, we include plenty of walks throughout the day at no extra charge to make sure they’re getting movement and attention. Want to treat them to something extra? We also offer add-on cuddle sessions or one-on-one play with an attendant.

If your pup isn’t eating or seems a little off, we’ll let you know and keep you in the loop. We’re great at communicating and always happy to hear from you—so never hesitate to call and check in. We treat your pup like our own and want you to feel just as cared for.

What Should I Know Before Drop-Off?

Here’s how to make check-in a breeze and your pup’s stay extra smooth:

  • Pack meals pre-portioned in labeled bags (airtight containers work great for longer stays!)
  • No need to bring bowls—we provide stainless steel and slow feeders
  • Please skip the measuring cups—we use our own to keep things consistent
  • Make sure all belongings are labeled with your pup’s name
  • Pups over 6 months must be spayed or neutered to join group play or board overnight
  • Quick-release collars with name tags are required
  • Please arrive at least 30 minutes before closing for check-in
  • If arriving after 6 p.m., please go ahead and feed dinner at home
  • For the safety of all our guests and staff, we’re not able to accept raw diets. If your pup is on a special diet, we’re happy to chat about alternative options that work during their stay!

Got questions? Just ask—we’re here to help make your pup’s stay as easy and happy as possible!

Got Meds? We’ve Got You.

If your pup needs medication, just bring it in the original prescription bottle with clear instructions. We’re happy to give most oral meds—just no injections or treatments that need PPE.

Can I See My Dog While They’re Boarding?

Yes! If your dog is in a Royal Suite, you’ll have 24-hour access to a live webcam feed. For all guests, our team is happy to provide updates, and we always notify you if we see anything unusual—whether it’s missed meals, behavior changes, or just a dog who’s feeling a little off.

What Pet Parents Are Saying

“100% confident at leaving my dogs at Pawlin’s for an extended trip. I have two young, very, very active dogs, one of who has a special needs diet. I was able to bring in a separate diet for each dog with different requirements with no hassle. Both dogs are spoiled, rotten and accustomed to lots of exercise and lots of physical attention. They got all that and more on this visit. Unlike other borders, neither of my dogs had any indication of stress when I picked them up. None. That says a lot about the care they received here. And the fact that there is a veterinary clinic right next door was super comforting when you’re unavailable to address significant issues should they arise. 10 out of 10. I’ve referred all of my dog people to this business. I’m extremely thankful for the confidence they gave me in their care, allowing me to fully enjoy my time away!”

– Valerie M.
