VIP Boarding at Meraki Canine
Structured Care. Calm Environment. Intentional Stays.
Eligibility & Relationship-Based Model
At Meraki Canine, boarding is more than just a place to sleep; it's an extension of our development philosophy. We maintain a relationship-based model to ensure every guest is familiar with our facility and specific behavioral structure.
To preserve a low-stress and behaviorally consistent environment, boarding is available primarily to dogs with an established relationship with Meraki Canine.
- Current or former Meraki Playcare clients
- Current or former Meraki Training clients
- Boarding clients within the past 24 months
- Additional household dogs of established clients
*Exceptions may be made for dogs with balanced temperaments and social neutrality pending an evaluation.
What’s Included in Every Stay
- Structured daily routine
- Controlled play sessions based on temperament
- Enrichment designed for calm engagement
- Feeding & medication management
- Professional supervision
Occasional exceptions may be considered (case-by-case and as space allows) for:
• Immediate family members of current clients
• Long-time or former clients needing temporary boarding
• Limited new dogs following evaluation and approval
If you believe your dog meets the eligibility requirements but Paw Partner is still showing the VIP Boarding Eligibility Review, please send us a message.
We will gladly verify eligibility and mark the prerequisite as completed for you.
If your dog does not yet meet eligibility, feel free to reach out as well.
We’re always happy to discuss next steps or pathways that may allow your dog to board with us in the future.
Accommodations
Traditional Kennel
Boarding begins at $25 per 24-hour period.
Kennel size is approximately 6' x 6', and pricing is per kennel.
Because our boarding is structured on a 24-hour cycle, pickup times beyond the original drop-off window may incur additional fees.
Continued care includes feeding, exercise, enrichment, cleaning, and supervision, and extended stays may limit availability for incoming reservations.
If pickup exceeds the original drop-off time by:
• 4–7 hours: $5 additional fee
• 8–11 hours: $10 additional fee
• 12+ hours: Additional full 24-hour rate ($25)
We appreciate your understanding, as this policy allows us to fairly manage time, staffing, and kennel availability while maintaining the quality of care each dog receives.
Shared Kennels
Multi-dog family options for bonded pairs from the same household. Designed to maintain your companions' shared relationship in a stress-free environment.
Dogs from the same household may share a kennel and receive our multi-dog discount, only if they are fully compatible and able to eat, sleep, and rest together comfortably without supervision or separation for meals, rest time, or medication.
If at any point dogs display aggression, reactivity, or redirection, they will be separated into individual kennels, and the shared-kennel discount will be removed from the booking. Even dogs who live harmoniously at home may behave differently in a busier boarding or playcare environment, so our staff will always prioritize safety and comfort.
Please note that any dog requiring medication must have their own kennel. This ensures medications are administered safely and prevents accidental ingestion by another dog (for example, if medication is vomited or dropped and another dog eats it).
If you have questions about whether kennel sharing is appropriate for your dogs, please don’t hesitate to contact us — we’re happy to help ensure the best arrangement for their stay.
Add-On Services
Elevate the boarding experience with purposeful enrichment. Our add-on services provide essential mental and physical stimulation, ranging from one-on-one training sessions that sharpen obedience to targeted enrichment activities designed for high-drive canines. Each session is tailored to maintain the behavioral standards and routine established during their development programs, ensuring your dog returns home focused and fulfilled.
