Understanding Your Quote
When you book through the portal, our quotation calculator automatically applies the best rate combination for your stay length. We've been using this calculator since 2021 — it ensures consistent, accurate pricing every single time. For example, a 10-day stay would be billed as 1 week + 3 days (not 10 individual days), giving you the lowest possible price.
- Both the drop-off date and pick-up date are included in the stay duration
- Grooming services are added as separate line items on your quote
- Cage rental is calculated per day of stay
- Multi-bird households: each bird is quoted individually based on its size category
