We are big advocates of training and will encourage good behavior while your pet is in our care. However, with the number of pets we care for each day we will not be able to provide your pet with the same type of training they receive at home.

Yes, please provide any treats that you would like your pet to have. We will be happy to give your pet treats up to three times per day. Note: We do not allow pig’s ears and rawhides for dogs as they can be choke hazards.

Unfortunately, we do not have the proper staff to care for diabetic pets.

Yes, we offer parking and transportation service to the airport.

Airport transportation is complimentary when parking your vehicle with us.

The charge is $11 per day. Parking rates are based on a minimum 24-hour period that begins at your check-in time. On the day you check in your pet, you will only be charged for a pro-rated half or full day period based on your check-out time.

On average you should allow 15-20 minutes after your check-in for transportation to the terminal.

Both the Lindbergh and Humphrey terminals are served by the Now Boarding transportation.

No, your car must be parked with us the entire stay to be eligible for our complimentary airport transportation.

Unfortunately you cannot. It is a service that we can only offer to our boarding customers.
