JCM’s Boarding Contract Boarding Hours and Polices "strictly adhered to"
HOURS: Monday- Friday: 9:00 AM - 6:00 PM Saturday: 10:00 AM - 5:00 PM By Appointment Only Closed Sunday ** and Holidays
"Closed Sunday" means that the boarding facility’s office is not open. However, since we live on site, your pet is still getting the highest quality of care.
THE OFFICE WILL BE CLOSED ON SUNDAY UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
**If circumstances dictate that you must pick up your pet on Sunday, pre-arrangements must be made at time of booking, with pick up time being between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM only. You Will Be Charged For That Day. **Anytime Sunday drop off's and pick up's:As a courtesy, we will re-arrange our personal schedule for the convenience of your pet being dropped off, or picked up anytime on Sunday. If a pet is to be dropped off on Sunday, there will be a pre-paid $100.00 charge in addition to the regular boarding fee. If a pet is picked up without arrangements being made at time of booking, or picked up outside the pre-arranged hours of 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM, there will be a $100.00 charge in addition to the regular boarding fee. There are no exceptions for holidays. Boarding Rates: Charges are based on a "per night" basis. Boarding rates are determined by either the dogs weight,*See attached price list,*or size of the indoor / outdoor run. Dogs are weighted on a calibrated veterinary scale when they check in. We do offer discounts for additional pets from the same household and for long term boarding.
We do not accept pets for drop off or pick up before 9:00 AM Monday thru Friday, (10:00 AM on Saturday). We do not accept pets for drop off or pick up after 6:00 PM Monday thru Friday, (5:00 PM on Saturday) **If you are boarding your pet with us for the first time, you must arrive no later than 30 minutes prior to our closing. This provides for adequate time to fill out our boarding contract, and allows your pet ample time to settle. Home Pick up and Delivery: Arrangements can be made to have your pet picked up and or dropped off at your home, or pre-arranged meeting place, (Vet , groomer, etc). Pets will not be picked up or delivered unless verbal conformation is made on that day, prior to us leaving. Cost of pick up and delivery is $30.00 and up (depending on location) each way. Sunday pick up and delivery (when available) is $85.00 and up (depending on location) each way. Home pick up and delivery is generally scheduled after our Pet Boarding Facility closes for the day. Pets picked up or dropped off "after hours" will not be charged for that night. There is no charge for pets picked up or dropped off at any of our Dog Training Class locations (Metairie, Westbank, Northshore) provided class is being held that night. If pre-arrangements have been made for pick up or drop off at class, and that class is canceled for whatever reason, and the pet is still to be picked up, there will be a $30.00 and up charge.
A copy of your pets shot record must be current (within one year) and provided to us for our files. No pets will be admitted without a complete and current shot record.
