In July 2026, Scamps introduces a 2-tier billing system: daycare hours (booked in advance) + services (billed after the fact).
There are 2 types of hours: Basic, and Perks.
Here’s how to decide which to choose:
Question 1: Do you need home pick ups (Cedar Cottage only)? If not, go to Question 2. If yes:
–> Map your route to Scamps Pet Place on google maps for the shortest trip. The fee is $0.50/min, so if it’s more than 14 minutes ($7/direction), Perks are a better bet. If it’s less than 4 mins, Basic Hours will always be cheaper, even with pick ups. In the middle…? Try the next question…
Question 2: Do you make your own bookings online? If not, you will be charged for Perks hours. If yes, go to Question 3.
Question 3: Do you need same-day service, special time slots, or after hours care? These are included or cheaper with Perks.
Conclusion:
If you are a Do-It-Yourself person, who lives close, plans ahead, books online, and delivers their dog, our Daycare Basic Hours cover the rest: Daycare, basically. Just $7/hour when you buy in bulk! (Pick ups and extras are still available, by request.)
If you like the little extras, including pick-up and drop-off, account management, and extended hours, the benefits outweigh the costs: go with Perks. Just $2 more/hour, with a free walk on visits over 4 hours.
Final Question: Want us to take the bills away, and save you money on services? Sign up for monthly Autopay to have your fees billed to a credit card on the 25th of the month to save $1/hour.
