Safe, sanitary, low-numbers boarding and Doggy Daycare
Home-style Boarding in the Country
As always, we:
- Only board one family's dog(s) at a time and only have one doggy daycare spot available per day.
- Our home is always cleaned between each boarder and routine cleaning occurs daily, including before and after any daycare dogs visit.
- Families are encouraged to send as many of their own items from home (beds, blankets, bowls, toys), etc. as possible so the same items stay with the same people and pets. Please click here for our boarding checklist.
- We have a very large fenced-in dog play yard for plenty of outdoor time for fresh and exercise.
In addition, we have now added the following practices:
- Our space allows us to practice social distancing if prospective clients wish to visit our home prior to booking boarding services.
- We will provide hand sanitizer and/or a place to wash hands for any visitors and our family will always wash hands before visitors or clients come on site.
- Visitors will be limited only to prospective clients and pick-ups and drop-offs for clients who have booked boarding services.
- We will self-screen using the Shared Health Manitoba self-assessment tool and will not have any in-person contact should anyone in our home exhibit any signs or symptoms of Covid-19.
- Clients and visitors will be asked to self-screen as well and will be asked not to come on site should they feel unwell and/or have any signs or symptoms of Covid-19.
- We will continue to follow all policies and recommendations laid out by the province. Please see below for more information.
