Arrival and Departure:
Whether you bring your dog to Homestead Pet Resort & Spa, or use our Valet Service, we have a few hints and requests to make the process work smoothly.
- Allow plenty of time for drop off and pickup that allows for a non-rushed transfer.
- Fasten your pet’s collar before entering the van so it fits loosely but properly.
- Double check that all items are included, ready and labeled.
- Leash your dog during drop off at Homestead.
- Remind the staff of your pet’s medical or behavioral issues or changes in feeding.
- Although it’s hard to part with your dog, a quick goodbye and pat on the head works much better than a long emotional send off.
Our new client visiting hours are as follows:
Monday – Friday 8:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
To schedule a visit, email us or call 785.872.3200
NOTE: Before boarding your dog for an extended period, some find it helpful to plan an overnight or short stay. This helps accustom a dog to the facility and staff. It also brings to light any concerns or issues that need to be addressed.
NOTE: New clients seeking holiday boarding – Due to the number of dogs boarded over the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays, we would like for your dog to have an overnight stay sometime before the holiday. Although not required, the stay allows us to assess if your dog will be happy with the open playgroups. Available space during holidays fills quickly, so make your reservations early. Reservations to schedule the short assessment stay can be made by telephone (785.872.3200), during office hours. Monday – Friday between 8:30 a.m. – 5 p.m.; Evenings and weekends can be arranged by appointment only.
