Good to Know
Policies
Clear expectations make for a great experience, for everyone.
Overnight Cancellation Policy
Overnight stays require a two-week cancellation notice. If an overnight reservation is canceled with less than two weeks’ notice, a cancellation charge will be applied.

In the event of a medical emergency, Lacy will contact you immediately and, with your authorization, transport your pet to the nearest veterinary clinic. Emergency care instructions are collected during the Meet & Greet.
Service Boundaries
For the safety of everyone involved, Lacy is unable to care for animals with a history of aggression or severe food aggression. Medically fragile or end-of-life pets are considered case-by-case. Lacy does not drive in snow or icy road conditions — please plan ahead during winter months.
