Overnight Boarding
Customized and Reliable Dog Care for all Your Needs!

Safe
Your dog’s safety during their stay with us is our number one priority. We strive to constantly update both our accomodations and our protocol to ensure the safety and comfort of your pet. From secure fencing to multiple kennel styles and sizes, to accomodating special medical needs, your peace of mind comes first. We offer a variety of calming sprays, diffusers, and treats for our more anxious guests. Ask us how we can make your dog’s stay with us exceed your expectations!

Fun
While you’re vacationing, working, or enjoying family time, we work hard to make sure your dog is enjoying their own vacation! They can enjoy our fully fenced half-acre for safe playtime, our large, covered porch for outside lounging, a quiet and safe neighborhood for daily walks, and a beautiful local park for field trips! Our home has gone “to the dogs” and every aspect of our house accommodates for comfortable and cozy dog time. Let us make your dog’s boarding experience one they can’t wait to come back to!

Professional
Choosing a boarding option can be hard enough, why not let us make it easier on you? Our boarding program is kept small and exclusive to allow for individualized care and low stress. I come from an extensive professional background with over 10 years of professional training and nearly 20 years of animal care and handling. I have worked as a veterinary technician and am well-versed in delivering medication and handling special needs. I am a fully licensed and double-insured business in the state of West Virginia and I consistently strive to better what we have to offer to our clients.
What is Required for Boarding?
Owner MUST fill out and sign all Boarding documentation and waivers prior to scheduling.
Dogs MUST be up to date on all current vaccinations.
Required Core Vaccines: Rabies, Distemper/Parvovirus, and Bordetella (kennel cough).
Leptospirosis and Lyme vaccines are highly encouraged, but not required. The Canine Flu vaccine is recommended for any dogs traveling within higher risk areas.
Dogs must be parasite free (fleas, worms, etc.) and not have been exposed in the last 30 days to anything that could put the health and safety of the dogs on the premises at risk. If there is any risk of exposure please cancel your stay.
Owners must send all food and any necessary items such as medication and supplements. If your dog has toys, treats, chews, or other comfort items that might improve their stay, feel free to include them. We provide all of the standard care items such as bowls, bedding, and other basic needs.
If your dog has ANY behavioral concerns that might be a safety concern for other dogs or staff, please disclose these prior to your stay for everyone’s safety and consideration.
Boarding Guidelines
Owners may pick up and drop off dogs any time between 10:00 AM and 7:00 PM for our normal nightly rate. Drop off/pick ups MUST be scheduled with WPK9 PRIOR to your stay, as we operate within our home.
Early drop offs and/or late pick ups will incur an upcharge of $25/per.
Dog must arrive with a leash, collar or harness, and all of the required belongings listed above.
Dogs should have either an ID tag attached to their collar/harness or microchip with updated information.
Dogs that do not have a sufficient amount of food/supplements during their stay that require WPK9 staff to purchase more food, supplements/medications, etc. during their stay will incur additional fees based on costs.
Transportation may be arranged prior to your dog’s stay (WPK9 may pick up or drop off your dog) within a reasonable distance of our Fairmont location for an additional cost.
Dogs MUST BE ABLE to be kenneled or crated safely! This means they are not causing excessive damage to kennels, crates, attempting to escape, or causing self-injury while kenneled. We have sturdy and safe kennels, but your dog’s safety and comfort are our top priority.
Sending dogs with known human aggression is against our boarding policy. Any dog that has to be sent home due to displaying human aggression will be required to pay for the time that they were boarded plus a 50% fee for all the remaining nights.
Cancellation fees do not apply if your dog must return home due to an injury, illness, or scheduling change and you will only be responsible for the time that they actively boarded. Feel free to change up your stay as needed at no additional fee.
Cancellations
If you need to cancel your dog’s stay, please do so within 3 days of your drop off date. Cancelling your dog’s stay after this time frame will incur a cancellation fee of 50% of total services booked.
Dogs with severe anxiety that does not permit them to be kenneled safely with us will require them to be sent home. Owner will be responsible for paying for the time the dog was boarded.
