How booking and staying at Camelot Kennels works.

These terms apply when you request or book services with Camelot Kennels through this website or by phone.
Who we are

Booking requests and confirmation
Sending a booking request through this website does not by itself reserve a spot. George personally reviews every request and will call or email you to confirm. A booking exists once Camelot confirms it with you. The availability shown online is honest: Camelot holds some kennels back for phone bookings and regulars, so dates shown as available really can be booked.
Payment
At least 50% of the estimated stay is paid up front as a deposit — you may also pay in full — and the remaining balance is due at pickup, adjusted for early pickups or shortened stays. Camelot Kennels accepts cash and card. Where online card payment is offered on this website, the deposit is processed securely by our payment provider (FluidPay, with Payroc as the card processor); card details are never seen or stored by Camelot Kennels or this website. Otherwise payment is arranged directly with Camelot.
Cancellations and refunds
Cancellations made more than 24 hours before the reservation are refunded the deposit; cancellations made less than 24 hours before the reservation forfeit the deposit. Early pickups and shortened stays are adjusted in the final payment at pickup. See the Refund & Cancellation Policy, or call us at (209) 800-9373.
Vaccination requirements
These vaccines must be current at dropoff for every dog: rabies, DHPP/DA2PP (distemper combination), Bordetella (kennel cough), and canine influenza. George reviews every record — equivalent veterinary wording is fine — and a date on a record is never treated as automatic medical approval. Please bring current vaccine records to dropoff.
Dropoff and pickup
Regular dropoff and pickup are 9am–5pm. Other times are available by request at no extra charge. Camelot is closed Mondays: as standard there is no drop-off or pickup on Mondays, and Monday dropoff and pickup dates cannot be selected when booking online. Dogs are welcome to board through a Monday. A Monday handoff is possible only by special request — call (209) 800-9373 to arrange one.
