Charges & Hidden costs
If you've met me you know I like to be upfront and clear, so why wouldn't I be with my prices.
Here you should find a complete list of all the charges you might find on your final bill.
These prices are without context, no description, some an hour others for a week. Feel free to ask, but hopefully all the info is already on the site.

"High Holidays" such as Christmas will be a 100% increase, more generic holidays will more usually be 50%.
Please note 'Summer' & 'Christmas' is classed as "Holiday" due to the increase of bookings in these months.
"Overbooking" is only for Regulars - Even if fully booked I can often squeeze in one more dog, if I know they will be okay with all the others.
Pee fee - Accidents do happen! The first time they have one it's free. In general I aim to only charge once per day, unless the dog is actively marking or is unable to control themselves.
| Personality/Size Charges | % increase on daily rate |
|---|---|
| Social Anxiety | 10-20% |
| Huge Dogs | Up to 20% |
Social Anxiety:
If your dog cannot be left alone for even for a short time without howling the house down an additional charge may be applied as I need to find cover when I need to leave them alone or to pay for deliveries.
Huge dogs:
Even though they are often gentle giants a dog that is larger is physically more able to be troublesome and will be a lot more work if they need to be leashed. As such I do charge up to an additional 20%.
| Last Minute Changes | % increase |
|---|---|
| New Booking | Up to 50% |
| Cancellation | 50-100% |
"Last Minute" is defined as less than 48 hours.

| Day Care regular | 15% Reduction |
| Longer stays, after 10 days I reduce my rate for the remaining days. | 15% Reduction |
