Transportation pricing
Pickup & dropoff, priced up front.
Boarding happens at my home in Canton, and you are always welcome to drop off and pick up there at no charge. Transportation is optional: if you would rather not make the drive, I will come to you. Four flat zones, out to about 35 miles. Find your town below and you will know your price before you book.

The four zones
All of it, on one page.
Round trip covers both the pickup and the return, which is what most families choose. One way is exactly half, for pickup only or return only. Either way the price is per household trip, not per dog, and your zone is set by the pickup address.

Why the zones aren't just mileage
Zones follow drive time. Heading north out of Canton, thirty miles is thirty easy minutes. Heading south past Kennesaw, the same thirty miles can take an hour on a bad afternoon. Time is what the trip actually costs me, so time is what sets the zone. That is the whole reason Marietta sits a tier above Woodstock.
What the price covers
Optional, and priced up front.
- Door to door, or skip it
I come to your house, load your dog and their things, and text you when we are home safe. Or drop off and pick up in Canton yourself, with no transportation charge at all.
- Times set in advance
Pickup and return times are arranged in advance and confirmed before the stay, so nothing is a guess on travel day.
- One price per household
Transportation is priced per household trip, not per dog. Two dogs from the same house ride together for the same price, and your zone comes from the pickup address.
Farther out
Past 35 miles, you drive and boarding costs the same.
Midtown, Downtown, Decatur, the airport side of town and anything past it are outside my driving radius. I would rather say so plainly than quote you something I can't do well. Your dog is still welcome, you would just make the drive to Canton. Plenty of in-town families do, and it is a straight shot up 575.
Boarding starts at $60 a night for one dog, with discounted household rates for up to four dogs from the same home. See the full rate sheet or the areas I serve.
Transportation questions
The fine print, in plain words.
Is the zone price round trip or one way?
The headline price is the round trip, covering both the pickup and the return, because that is what most families choose: $50, $60, $70, and $80 by zone. One way is exactly half, for pickup only or return only.
How far do you drive?
About 35 driving miles from my home in Canton, 30114. That covers Cherokee County, most of Cobb, Roswell and Alpharetta, and the north side of Atlanta out to roughly I-285.
Why does Marietta cost more than Woodstock?
Distance plus traffic. Zones follow drive time, and anything south of Kennesaw runs into real Atlanta congestion, so the same mileage eats more of the day.
How are pickup and return times arranged?
Pickup and return times are arranged in advance and confirmed before the stay, so you know exactly when I will be at your door. Holiday boarding has a two night minimum.
When do I pay for it?
It goes on the same invoice as the stay, sent after your dog heads home. A reservation deposit is requested after your stay has been personally reviewed and approved.
My town isn't in the list. What now?
Try your zip code in the lookup above. Your zone is set by the pickup address, so use the address I would be driving to. If nothing comes back, you are outside the 35-mile radius, which means transportation is off the table but boarding is not.
Book a stay
You know the price. Pick your dates.
Add pickup, return, or both to your request and I will confirm the whole thing, transportation included. Rates and policies are subject to change. Your quoted price is locked in once your reservation is approved and your deposit is paid, and any future rate changes apply only to new reservation requests.
