Pet Hotel Requirements

The health and safety of every dog in our care is our top priority. To maintain a safe environment for all pet boarding guests, we require that all dogs are current on essential vaccinations and meet basic health standards. Please ensure your dog meets the following requirements before their first boarding stay:

  • Bordetella (Kennel Cough)
  • DHLPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Leptospirosis, Parvovirus, Parainfluenza)
  • Rabies (current vaccination)
  • Spayed/neutered if over 12 months of age (no females in heat)
  • Completion of a free orientation

Free Orientation

We want to ensure maximum care and comfort for each pet visiting our dog hotel. We know that the unique atmosphere at Happy Tails STL may not be suitable for all dogs, which is why the orientation process is mandatory for all first-time dog boarding and dog daycare visitors. During the orientation, we'll assess your dog's temperament, socialization skills, and compatibility with our group play environment. This ensures both your dog's safety and happiness, as well as the safety of other dogs in our care.

Frequently Asked Questions

Choosing the right boarding facility for your dog is an important decision. We understand you may have questions about our services, policies, and what to expect during your dog’s stay. Below are answers to the most common boarding questions we receive from pet owners in the St. Louis area. If you don’t see your question answered here, please don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re happy to help!

Will my dog be housed with other dogs?2026-02-20T09:06:44-06:00

No, we do not put dogs in the same kennels. Dogs at Happy Tails get plenty of interaction with other dogs during their stay, so they will get time to wind down in their own space when needed.

How much does dog boarding cost?2026-02-20T09:11:53-06:00

Our standard nightly rate is $65.00. We offer 10% discounts off the standard rate for those who board an additional pet or board with us longer than 10 days.

What is the difference between dog boarding packages?2026-02-20T09:14:45-06:00

We offer three different packages. Each package differs by duration and discount: our 10-day package saves you 10%, our 20-day package saves you 15%, and our 30-day package saves you 20% on boarding costs.

When are check-in and check-out times?2026-02-20T09:20:59-06:00

We are open 24/7, so you can drop your dog off or pick them up entirely at your convenience. However, we do charge a $32.50 fee for check-outs after 1pm.

How do I book dog boarding at Happy Tails?2026-01-19T14:19:10-06:00
