Our
difference
We've designed the calmest, most comfortable dog boarding and daycare experience out there.
Boutique hospitality
Smaller format with fewer dogs. Suites only boarding. More personalized care.
Elevated design
Why should you have to compromise your dog’s comfort when you leave town? Yardstick was designed to raise the bar for dog hospitality.
Stress-free environment
Room blocks split by dog size, and an obsession with sound reduction.
Simplified for parent convenience
Inclusive pricing means fewer decisions. Plus, no arbitrary check-in and check-out times.
Hosts who treat yours like theirs
We’re on a mission to become the most beloved employer in pet care. You and yours will feel the difference here.
Commitment to safety
Round-the-clock on-site supervision, a high staff-to-dog ratio, and veterinary partnerships ensure your dog is safe.
Our top priority is the safety of our staff and the safety of the dogs in our care. Requirements are as follows:
- Minimum age: dogs must be a minimum of 4 months old.
- Spay/neuter: all dogs over the age of 6 months must be spayed or neutered. Exceptions may be considered up to the age of 18 months with a vet’s recommendation; however, these dogs will be restricted to play time with a select number of same sex peers. The same protocol will be followed for puppies between 4-6 months of age who have not yet been altered. We do not accept intact females who are in heat.
- Vaccinations: up-to-date rabies, distemper (one or three-year vaccines), Bordetella, and an annual canine influenza vaccine are required. Proof(s) of vaccination may be uploaded to your Goose profile or emailed to your respective location (refer to Locations page).
- Flea & Tick: regular administration of preventative flea/tick medication is required.
- Fit Tests: are not required prior to a dog's first visit. We will conduct them prior to participation in group play.

Yes. We are proud to say we have staff on-site 24/7/365 to make sure your dogs are safe and cared for overnight.
While all of our staff are trained in canine first-aid and CPR, sometimes incidents happen. It's the nature of caring for dogs. We are partnered with local animal hospitals that operate 24/7, as well as with veterinarians offering telemedicine for more minor scenarios. In the event a dog requires urgent medical attention, we will notify you or your emergency contact and immediately transport the dog to the animal hospital for treatment.
