Reservations

Reservations may be made in person or by telephone when our front office is open.

You may request a reservation with our online booking system, but the reservation will not be confirmed until you receive a confirmation email from Club Pet. Please remember to provide us with the best email address and telephone number at which to reach you.

Our contact information is:


Helen Woodward Animal Center
P.O. Box 64
Rancho Santa Fe, Ca 92067

Street: 6525 Helen Woodward Way (no mail received at this address)

Rancho Santa Fe, Ca 92067

Our front office is closed to the public on all major holidays. (Animal Care Technicians are on duty 365 days a year to care for your pets, even on days when the front office is closed).

A credit card (we accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express or Discover) is required to confirm your reservation.

Vaccine information (dogs and cats), Age Certificates, and Health Certificates (Exotics) must be provided at least 2 weeks prior to check-in. Most clients ask their veterinarian to fax vaccination information to us directly at 858-756-4715.

Club Pet accepts reservations up to twelve months in advance. Holidays and other Peak Occupancy periods like July and August book up quickly, so please plan accordingly.

“Side-by-Side” Suites are available for all sizes of canine kennels to provide more spacious accommodations and allow for separation of house mates as needed. Please reserve two kennels of the same size and request “Side by Side” suites. If you have multiple pets that must be separated for feeding or other reasons, you must reserve Side by Side Suites. We cannot physically separate pets that share the same Suite for eating or sleeping.

For specific breeds, temperament testing by our trainer is required before boarding/daycare is allowed. Please inquire for more details.

Cancellations

  • Boarding fees are charged per day per pet. There is a full-day boarding fee charged for the day of arrival, regardless of check in time. If you check your pet out after 12 Noon, you will be charged for another full day of boarding.
  • All Club Pet reservations are subject to our 3 day cancellation policy, including same- day reservations that are canceled. If you cancel your reservation within three days of check-in, you will be charged a cancellation fee. Excluding holiday periods
    • The cancellation fee is equal to the cost of one night’s boarding for each kennel reserved which is being canceled. A current credit card number and expiration date is required in order to confirm each reservation – this is the card against which the cancellation fee will be charged.
  • Any reservation which includes dates over our holiday period, 11/16 – 11/30 and 12/16 – 1/4, requires a $75 non refundable, non-transferrable deposit per reservation, which is charged at the time the reservation is made. The holiday deposit will be charged to the credit card account on file. The deposit amount will be applied to the holiday boarding bill. If the boarding bill is less than $75, the balance will not be refunded.
    • Cancellation of a holiday reservation with insufficient notice (less than seven days prior to the 1st day of the reservation) will be subject to the regular cancellation fee in addition to the forfeited holiday deposit. The cancellation fee is equal to the cost of one night’s boarding for each kennel reserved, and will be charged to the credit card account on file.
