Other Services



Shuttle

We shuttle guests directly between their homes and ours. Most of the time we can work around any schedule, just let us know how we can help. Our shuttle runs between Stevenson, WA and the Portland/Vancouver Area or Hood River/Bingen/White Salmon.
Door-Step Service costs $15 each way for homes within 5 miles of I-84 or SR-14. For homes further away, a rate will be calculated at the time of reservation.
We also meet at convenient stops right on I-84 or SR-14. This Convenient-Meet Shuttle costs $10 each way for meets further than 20 miles from Stevenson, WA. Meeting places within 20 miles only cost $5 each way.

Bathing

As the guests are outside playing for the majority of their stay, they can become quite dusty or muddy depending on the weather. We wipe them down prior to departure, but if you'd prefer to have them bathed on their departure date, we can handle that too.
  • $15 for an average-sized dog with a short to medium coat.
  • Extra charges for long-haired, extra-large, or uncooperative guests.
  • $5 charge to include a quick brush out. Extra $5 charge for mat removal.


Feeding and Medications

Guests must supply their own food. We are more than willing to prepare meals as you do at home. We separate the dogs during feeding to ensure everyone is eating their own food and, obviously, for safety's sake. Remember to pack more than enough since the guests are getting plenty of exercise! If we are forced to feed from our food stock, we must charge an additional $2 per day. We use a premium lamb & rice blend.

We happily administer pharmaceuticals for free as long as it isn't too difficult. Adding a pill into food, or delivering a pill orally is not a problem. Anything beyond that may incur additional charges. We can discuss at time of reservation.
