Nights are counted the way a hotel counts them, so only the mornings you wake up at the kennel matter.
Counting nights
Drop-off on Friday and pick-up on Sunday means Friday night and Saturday night, which is two nights. Saturday to Monday morning is also two. Friday morning to Monday morning is three. The kennel is open seven days a week, with the same two windows on Saturday and Sunday as on weekdays.
Weekend totals
| Pet | Nightly rate | 2 nights |
|---|---|---|
| Dog, Economy | $52 | $104 |
| Dog, Business Class | $59 | $118 |
| Dog, First Class | $72 | $144 |
| Cat | $35 | $70 |
Sunday afternoon pick-up
Check-out is by 11:30 AM. If you collect your pet in the 2:00 to 5:00 PM window, the rate sheet and the boarding agreement add half of the nightly fee. A Sunday-morning pick-up keeps the total at two nights.
Weekends that touch a holiday
The kennel is closed on Easter, Memorial Day, July 4th and Labor Day, so a holiday weekend works around those days. A stay beginning in the seven days before or after a major holiday carries a 50% deposit due 30 days ahead. See the deposit question.
Two pets or a bath
Two dogs sharing a kennel pay the first dog's rate plus the lower shared rate for the second, so a Friday-to-Sunday weekend for a pair in Economy is 2 x $52 plus 2 x $44. A bath before pick-up is priced separately, and the staff will give you the cost when you ask.
Add it up for your trip
Two pets, a bath or a different class change the numbers, and the stay cost estimator does the arithmetic. The wine-country weekend page is written for this kind of trip.
