  • Whilst, The Good Girl Getaway assesses every dog on an individual basis, there may be an occasion whilst boarding that the dog acts in an unsuitable way for home boarding and the stay will need to be cancelled. You agree that you have given us a suitable emergency contact within the country that can collect and take the dog in should this occur. If an emergency contact cannot be reached or refuses to collect the dog, The Good Girl Getaway reserves the right to seek an appropriate place for the dog to stay until the return of the owner, at the owner’s cost. This may include kennels. Reasons a dog may be unsuitable are aggression to boarding dogs or ourselves, destructive behaviour such as excessive scent-marking, excessive barking, humping etc and the damage of household items and furnishings.
