Sidekicks Policies
Learn more about our pet policies at Sidekicks Stay & Play below!
daily updates
You will receive a daily report card sent to your primary mobile phone number. Details include your pet’s eating, drinking, bowel movements, urination, play habits, and any additional pertinent information.
meals & feeding
- We encourage you to bring your pets’ current diet for
us to feed to prevent digestive upset. - Please pre-measure and pre-package dry food in
individual Ziploc bags (or containers), label each meal (breakfast, lunch, or dinner) to ensure you have provided enough food for your pet’s stay. - We also suggest packing some “extra” if you
encounter any delays in your return. - If you do not bring your pet’s food, we are happy to
serve Hills 1/0 low-fat diet during your pet’s stay (an additional cost of $2 per meal).
Please let us know if your pet has any dietary
restrictions.
MEDICATION ADMINISTRATION
- If your pet receives medication (including insulin),
please bring it with your pet in its prescribed container with all appropriate supplies. This includes items such as syringes or pill pockets. - Medications are administered at $1.50 per
administration.
PERSONAL BELONGINGS
- Bedding and Bowls are provided: If you find your
pet does better (or needs a specific kind) of their bedding, bowls, toys, or a shirt that smells like you, you’re welcome to bring it along. We are not responsible for any damages your pet makes to these items, if any, while boarding. - Leash and Collar/Harness: Please bring your pet in
on a non-retractable leash (or in a carrier). You may take these items with you, or we’ll store them with the rest of your pet’s belongings.

Unless other arrangements have been made, please observe the following check-in and check-out times for your pet’s stay.
Boarding Check-in and Check-out:

FAQs
Boarding Agreement & forms
All clients must fill out our New Client Financial Policy and Boarding and Enrichment Agreement Form. Dogs participating in group play must also have a completed Behavior Evaluation Form.
age requirements
All guests are welcome who are vaccinated appropriately.
size & playgroups
Animals are not grouped into playgroups purely based on their size. While this is a factor to prevent injury, the pet’s behavior will be evaluated, and they will be added to the appropriate playgroup for both their size and their personality.
spa services & add-ons
We are happy to accommodate premium or basic baths, nail trims, and anal gland expressions for our guests during their stay. Please let our concierge team know at drop-off which services you would like to add to their stay.
