Meet & Greet Policy & Process

We are so excited to have you join our family!

At Big Valley Pet Resort, our top priority is providing your dog with a safe, friendly, & fun environment where they can play with other pets & be cared for by dedicated pack leaders. To ensure the best experience for your pup, we’ve created a thorough process to welcome you into our family:


  1. Contact Us
    Call or email Big Valley Pet Resort to get all the necessary Meet & Greet information. Our Manager will reach out to schedule a Meet & Greet at our facility.
  2. Share Vaccine Records
    Before your Meet & Greet, send your pup’s updated vaccine records to petresort@bigvalleyanimalcarecenter.com or bring them along on the day of your visit.
  3. Meet & Greet Day
    When you arrive, you’ll complete the required forms. The Meet & Greet lasts about 45 minutes: 30 minutes: Your dog will play in the yards with other dogs to assess their temperament. 15 minutes: Your dog will spend time in a kennel to ensure they’re comfortable. After the session, we’ll let you know if your pup has passed.
  4. Trial Daycare & Boarding
    If your dog passes the Meet & Greet, we’ll schedule one full daycare day and one overnight boarding stay—both free of charge. This trial allows us to see how your pup adapts to our daily routines.
  5. Welcome to the Family
    Once the trial sessions are successfully completed, your dog officially becomes part of the Big Valley family! You’ll then be able to book daycare and boarding for future stays.


We look forward to welcoming you and your pup to Big Valley Pet Resort! 🐾
