emBARKadero Social Club provides clean, comfortable runs for your pooches. We offer puffy plush dog beds in roomy large kennels. We also offer two spaces with couches that can be reserved for kennel-free sleep for an extra $10/night. There is a pet loving employee on site over-night.  

ESC is "more like a house than a warehouse" which means we have neighbors above, beside and behind us.  If your dog is an excessive night time barker, does not do well in a kennel and needs human companionship overnight, the kennel-free charge will apply.  We want your pet to be as comfortable and stress-free as they would be at home.  There are some dogs that may do better in a "warehouse" setting and we will evaluate this on an ongoing basis.

Please note: These prices will be going up on February 1st, 2012. We will still be very competitive to other popular facilities.

ESC DOG BOARDING OVERVIEW

Please call and arrange a Mutt 'n Greet preferably at least one week in advance of booking. Please make sure you have the latest vaccination records from your vet and your dog is up-to-date on all shots including bordetela.  The Mutt 'n Greet will take approximately 30 minutes. While you fill out our paperwork, your dog will be taken in with the others and tested for temperament. We will show you the facility once your pup is considered admitted.  


As noted on our PLAY page:

• We are an exclusive facility, in that we test for temperament and excessive barking. (We are surrounded by neighbors and we do our best to keep them happy.) 
  

• We do not accept pure bred Pit Bulls. We are not anti Pitties by any means, but in a pack of many dogs of all sizes they tend to have an advantage if aggravated.

• To provide as much room to roam and frolic, we have a maximum weight allowance of 60 LBS.   

If you are a former client of RD&C, please know that many of our policies are different and therefore you need to start the process as a new client with ESC.  To all clients of the Social Club, please call to book your boarding at least two days in advance. 
We recommend calling at least a month in advance of any major holiday.


1.    We request that you bring the food your dog eats for their stay at ESC so that they stay on their normal diet. Each meal needs to be pre-measured and placed in a baggie/ziploc. Pack an extra bag or two of meals in case your stay gets unexpectedly delayed or your return date changes. If you cannot provide your dog's own food to us there will be a $2.00 per meal charge for our in-house food. 

2.    Bring any oral medications and we will dispense them according to your instructions.

3.     No need to bring your dog's personal items, however, if you feel they would be more comfortable with a personal blanket or bedding, we are happy to take it in with them. We will try to keep these items clean but on occasion, we are unable to wash them due to volume and timing. 

4.     We never introduce food or treats in the dog play area as it’s a trigger for some dogs for aggression.

5.     If possible, please schedule the drop off before 4 pm. If you drop them off at the end of the day they are super excited and hyper, while the other dogs at the Social Club will be tired, hungry and wanting to relax.

6.     Reservations are required for all overnight stays and it is recommended that Holiday reservations be made weeks or months in advance.

7.     All dogs must be spayed or neutered unless she is a puppy under six months of age, and must go through a brief social evaluation. (A Mutt 'n Greet - See above in OVERVIEW.) 

8. All dogs must come in with collars, tags and leashes.
