    FAQs

    Yes. Game of Paws is fully insured and bonded through Pet Care Insurance, giving you peace of mind while your pet is in our care.

    We’re not a high-volume facility. We provide structured, home-style care with limited capacity to ensure individualized attention. No kennels, no overcrowding, just a calm, controlled environment, experienced handling, and care that follows your pet’s routine.

    No. Boarding dogs are almost always with someone. Our home is occupied throughout the day, as household members either work from home or are retired. Your dog will have companionship, supervision, and interaction — not long hours alone.

    It depends on the situation and the pets involved. Many dogs do great boarding alongside other dogs, and positive social exposure can be enriching and beneficial. However, if a dog is reactive, anxious, or if single-pet boarding is requested, we are happy to accommodate one pet at a time. Safety and comfort always come first.

    We recommend bringing your pet’s food, medications, and any comfort items they’re used to, such as a favorite bed or toy. A full checklist will be provided before your stay

    Yes. We are experienced in administering both oral and injectable medications, including insulin for diabetic pets. Medication instructions are followed carefully and exactly as provided.

    We provide regular updates with photos and messages so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. Update frequency can also be discussed during booking.

    Because we are a small, home-style pet care business, we reserve time and space specifically for each pet. Deposits and cancellation policies help ensure we can continue offering high quality, personalized care to every family we serve.

    We offer home-style boarding, which means your pet stays in a real home, not a kennel facility. There’s no overcrowding, no unnecessary stress, and no crate or kennel use unless it’s part of your pet’s normal routine or requested for comfort or safety
