Boarding & Daycare

BOARDING
I know how hard it is to leave your dog alone, sometimes even just for a couple of hours. I hope that knowing your pets are in good hands can at least give some peace of mind while you are busy, at work, or away on vacation. At Lakeside Pet Lounge, all pets are treated as if it is their vacation too. We will assess their behavior to see if they are in the mood to play or just cuddle with a staff member in the office. The kennels act as a relaxing, safe-haven, while the yard is for exercise and play. At your discretion, boarding pets are included in daycare festivities at no additional charge!
HOURS & RATES (+tax)
Boarding Check-In & Check-Out Hours: 9:00 A.M- 11:30 A.M morning check-in, or 2:00 P.M to 5:30 P.M for afternoon/evening check-in. Check-out is much faster, so you can pick up your pet between 7:30 A.M and 6:00 P.M (unless you have scheduled a grooming).
Standard Size Kennel or Crate: $40 per night for 1 dog. Best for small & medium breeds (under 75 lbs) or 2+ dogs under ~40 lbs each. 1 additional dog- (same kennel or crate): $25 per additional small dog (under 30 lbs); $30 per additional large dog. (2 dogs= $65 or $70 total per night). We can feed them separately. We have 2 dog door/in-out style standard kennels. New Hampton Location is +5 $ additional per night.
Double XL Size Kennel or Room: $40 per night. Best for large & giant breeds (~75 lbs + depending on activity level) 1 additional dog (same kennel): $30 per additional large dog, $25 per additional small dog (under 30 lbs). Similar fees for 3rd dog, 4th dog, etc. (2 dogs= $65 or $70 total per night, 3 dogs= $90 or $100 per night, and so on.) We do have 2 XL with dog door, in-out style kennels with large private yards. They are reserved first come first serve basis. New Hampton Location is +5 $ additional per night.
Cat Boarding $30 per night for 1 cat, 20$ for each additional cat. We have a private room for cat boarding, or a cat can stay in the apartment/private guest bedroom with the owner(s). We can also offer an in-house daily stop in for your cat for the same price depending on your location. *May-September Cat Boarding is 40$ per night, as well as major school holidays in Orange County- Christmas Break, Mid-Winter Recess, and Spring Break*
Special Needs/Aggression Fee: $5 per night
Half-Day (Late check-out after 11 A.M): $15
Late Check-out (after 5 P.M): $25
Early Check-in (before 9 A.M): $25 *not an option for new clients*
*TO MAKE A RESERVATION, it is simple. Just text the owner this information (it is preferred that you send both messages at the same time, unless you are waiting for a pending vaccination appointment). 718-795-8175 Text Message # 1 Pet Name, Breed, Weight, Reservation Dates with Drop Off & Pick Up Times (if 2 or more pets, please include if they will sleep together or separate so we can give you an exact estimate). Text Message # 2 Photo of Vaccination Records, Photo of Pet(s), & Photo ID/Driver License of Legal Pet Owner (that will be filling out the paperwork.) For some reason if including images in the first text message, the message may not come through, so it is important to send in 2 separate messages. It is a shame that we have to collect photo ID now. Unfortunately, we have had animals abandoned on us and the recommendation from the police department was to collect photo ID for each client. For returning clients, reserving is so much easier. We will remember your pet and you will not have to sign paperwork a 2nd time (as long as the file didn't get chewed up or peed on).
*The late checkout fee is applied despite check in time* We are not on a 24 hour reservation system. Like many hotels and lodging options, there is a preferred checkout time to get the facility ready for new guests. There are many reasons we apply the late checkout fees. Most facilities will charge each day that pets are in the facility, or do not provide Saturday/Sunday/Holiday check ins/outs. We encourage checkout by 11 AM so that we can thoroughly disinfect the facility (which is done twice daily regardless), but it is easier on the staff when less dogs are in the facility to watch and care for. We are a high volume daycare facility and prefer to have as many boarders out as possible so that we have room for dog daycare dogs that eat lunch, or older dogs that need longer rest periods. Both for general liability and contagious illnesses, we try to keep dog groups the same and resist from adding new dogs to a group frequently. We are also extremely accommodating and flexible with our drop off and pick up windows/days. We offer check in & check out 7 days a week, even on major holidays. The fees go towards our staffing needs and efforts that allow us to be so flexible for our clients. Although it may not apply to your single stay, it may be a service you will take advantage of in the future! Thank you for understanding!
The full number of nights reserved must be paid for in full, despite picking up early or dropping off a day later (if stay falls on a weekend or school holiday where we fully book). Please give 2 weeks notice for any changes in reservation dates to avoid the charge for the nights that were originally reserved, so that we can open the space for another pet. For new clients, a 50% deposit is required to secure the spot, at minimum 2 weeks prior to the boarding stay, typically collected during peak times. There is a 2 night minimum on holidays, weekends following a holiday, and summer weekends (Memorial Day to Labor Day), unless the booking is last minute and we happen to have a cancelation or have the availability. We typically have more space for small dogs for last minute bookings, but for large dogs during peak times it is very rare to have an opening. Please understand that we are seasonal and rely on fully booking during these times to get through the slower months.
Special Feeding (cooked food) or Complex Medicating/Insulin Injections: $5 per day, per dog.
Standard & XL kennel boarding rate includes "house food"- Rachel Ray's Nutrish Beef Formula (included for under 80 lb dogs only). Bring your own food with instructions for no additional cost, which is preferred (to prevent GI upset). The standard fee includes medications that are taken easily with food. If any medications are complex to prepare/administer, including insulin injections, the medicating fee will apply. We have blankets, beds, and bowls, please do not bring many items with your pet unless you are willing to donate it if it gets lost or soiled. Please make sure your dog has a traditional style collar on (no choke chain/prong collars). Harnesses are allowed if you feel that they will be comfortable keeping them on the whole time, if not, please switch to a regular collar. We recommend removing Seresto collars during their stay, or make sure it is on securely, because we have seen that they easily fall off during play time.
Required Vaccinations- Please email or text proof of vaccinations *text is preferred for all reservations*
Dogs- Rabies, Distemper, Bordetella
Cats- Rabies

DAYCARE
Doggy daycare is a great option for those that want a dog to be a part of their family but may not have the time to give them the exercise that they need. Socialization with other dogs and people promotes overall happiness, reduces anxiety, and gives your pet a wonderful demeanor for years to come. Play groups will always be arranged based upon size, breed, age, activity level, and apparent body language that is shown the day that they enter the facility. The yard is securely fenced in and gives ample space for pets to run. We have about 4-7 different yards. Daycare is best for young pups, up to 1.5 years old.
Daycare for NEW CLIENTS, is scheduled by appointment. We only accept 1 new daycare dog per day (or more than 1 from same family). All daycare dogs take turns in their play groups and receive rest time in a shaded outdoor kennel, or an indoor kennel or crate with the AC/heat and their own water dish or meal provided by their owner. Large dogs (over 50 lbs, too large for a crate): We typically have to cancel large dog daycare during peak boarding times IF weather is bad. We have the right to cancel daycare the night before if we notice that weather does not look good for the next day. Large dog daycare is typically outdoors, we sometimes have indoor nap space available. Small dog daycare is much more flexible, as we have many pop-up crates and an office floor for them to hang out in & outside all day. Starting daycare or boarding when they are young makes the transition easier for boarding, however, if you OVER-DO it, this can cause behavioral problems. Daycare is not recommended more than 2-3 times per week, but we will let you know if we think they are becoming stressed or "over it", which can happen by the time they are 1-3 years old. We still have many 1-3 year old's that still enjoy their 1-2 days of daycare. Every dog has a different personality and we will tell you truthfully what we think is best for them.
