• There are no other boarding reservations scheduled for that night, and thus no staff scheduled
AND
• Owner either:
– Does not pick up their dog from daycare/boarding without contacting us at least 2 hours prior to closing,
OR
– Requests boarding with less than 2 hours’ notice from closing
• There are no other boarding reservations scheduled for that night, and thus no staff scheduled
