Deposits & Cancellations

At Tucked Inn Kennels, we're all about offering a top-notch, exclusive experience for you and your furry friends. As a cozy and intimate boarding facility with limited space, we prioritize advanced reservations to ensure we can provide the best possible care for each of our guests. We do not offer walk-in services and all of our offerings are part of a complete package designed to make your pup's stay as enjoyable as possible.

 

For the comfort and security of all our guests, Tucked Inn Kennels is not open to the general public without a prior reservation. To ensure we can continue providing the best possible services and facilities, we have established the following policies regarding cancellations and changes to reservations.

At Tucked Inn Kennels, we require a non-refundable deposit to secure your reservation for either daycare or overnight stays. For overnight stays, the deposit will be 50% of the total cost of the initial reservation, while daycare visits must be paid in full in advance. Trial overnight stays, regardless of the length of the trial, are payable in full, in advance, and are non-refundable in the unfortunate event your dog does not pass assessment and must be returned home. Deposits must be received within 24 hours of booking approval and deposit request, otherwise the booking will be automatically cancelled. Once we receive your deposit, we'll send a confirmation email to the provided address within 24 hours, officially confirming your reservation.

 

We understand that plans can change, but please note that we don't offer refunds for cancellations. For multi-visit daycare packages, you'll have 90 days from the purchase date to use the credits. Any no-shows or cancellations received with less than 24 hours notice will result in losing one daycare credit. Frequent cancellations or no-shows may result in your dog being removed from our daycare program, and no refunds will be given for unused credits. For single visit daycare bookings, cancellations received more than 24 hours in advance will be credited to your account for future use within three months. However, cancellations received less than 24 hours before the visit, or no-shows, won't be refunded or credited. Please understand that sending us a cancellation request after hours the night before a scheduled daycare visit is not sufficient. The request must be made 24 hours prior to the check in time scheduled for your pups arrival. 

 

If you need to cancel an overnight boarding reservation, please note that cancellations received less than 21 days before the arrival date will result in the forfeiture of the entire deposit. If you chose to pay the entire balance of your dog's booking at time of reservation, the entire amount is considered a deposit and no refund or credit will be provided. Further details are listed below. 

No refunds or credits will be provided for dogs who need to be removed / sent home due to behavioural concerns.

 

Our grooming services are also reserved in advance with our exclusive partners, and cancellations or changes to grooming appointments made less than 24 hours prior to the start time will incur the full charge for the treatment booked.

Can any exceptions be made?

At Tucked Inn Kennels, we take each reservation seriously and carefully plan our staffing and resources based on the number of expected guests. This means that when you book a stay with us, we are dedicating resources specifically for your furry companion's comfort and well-being.

 

We understand that unexpected circumstances may arise and plans may change, but it's important to note that cancellations impact our daily operations and the reservations of other guests. With that in mind, we have established the following policies to ensure the smooth running of our facilities and provide a positive experience for all of our guests:

Our spots fill up quickly on a first-come, first-serve basis, so don't hesitate to make your deposit and secure your reservation.

First time guests (new customers) who cancel their first reservation, with or without a deposit, will be required to pay for their next booking in full, with no refund or account credit if the booking is cancelled a second time. Future boarding/daycare requests may be subject to refusal.

 

* For reservations booked less than three days in advance of check in, you may be required to pay the full amount in advance in order to reserve your suite. Trial stays, regardless of the length of stay, are payable in full, in advance. This payment is considered a deposit and is subject to the deposit and cancellation policy. Last minute bookings (less than 24 hours notice) may require full payment, with a $29 last minute booking fee added.

The Fine Print

  • First time guests (new customers) who cancel their first reservation, with or without a deposit, will be required to pay for their next booking in full, with no refund or account credit if the booking is cancelled a second time. Future boarding/daycare requests may be subject to refusal.

Additionally, all future stays will be payable in full in advance regardless of the length of stay. Two no-shows will result in permanent removal from our boarding program.

  • Cancellations initiated by Tucked Inn will be issued a full refund of any deposits, except for trial night stays where dogs must be returned home early, or dogs who are sent home due to behavioural issues.
