Early Pick-Up Fee
The Early Pick-Up Fee will increase from $25.00 to $38.00.
This fee applies when a dog is picked up one or more days earlier than the original reservation after check-in. The fee helps offset the reserved kennel space and staffing that was scheduled for the original length of the stay.
We appreciate your understanding and continued support. These policy updates allow us to continue providing a safe, clean, and well-staffed environment while maintaining the highest level of care for every pet entrusted to us.
Thank you for choosing Starwood.
