                                         Hours & Holidays 
You may schedule to drop off and pick up between the morning or afternoon hours. You do not need to choose a specific time between those hours. For example, if you're scheduled to drop off on a Monday morning, you can arrive any time between 8:00 and 9:00am.
 
There are no off-hour drops or pick ups and TLC is not open to the public. You must have a reservation to be on the property. If you find you will not be able to make your pick up time, please see your appointment card provided to you at drop off, which states to contact Christy to reschedule your pick up within TLC hours. Christy's contact information is also included on the appointment card. 

Monday-Friday       8- 9:00 a.m. and 5-6:00 p.m. 
Sunday                   9-10:00 a.m. and 4-5:00 p.m.
 
TLC is closed for drop offs and pick ups on Saturdays & the following major holidays:  New Year's Day, Easter, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Hours are not flexible or negotiable.
        
If you drop off in the morning and pick up the next morning you'll be charged for 1 night. If you drop off in the morning and pick up the next afternoon you'll be charged for 2 nights. The reason- I cannot put a dog in the room for the night if your dog is using the room until afternoon drop off/pick up hours. 
​
TLC will be closed to everyone on the following dates:
From Saturday 11/1/25 thru Wed 11/5/25. Will reopen on Thursday 11/6/25.
From Thursday 1/15/26 thru Tuesday 01/28/26. Will reopen on Thursday 01/29/26
From Thursday 5/28/26 thru Wednesday 6/3/26. Will reopen on Thursday 6/4/26. 
 
            
 
 What to Expect at Drop of/Pick Up
 
Drop offs & pick-ups are quick and easy. I will greet you in the driveway when you arrive to drop off at your scheduled time, so I can help you bring your Dog and his/her belongings into the Lodge. If you're a returning client and your dog is comfortable coming into the Lodge with me, you don't even have to leave your vehicle. I'll take your dog & items inside, and you are free to leave.  
​
It is the same service when you pick up, I will bring your dog to you with his/her belongings when you arrive during you scheduled pick up time and help you get everything into your vehicle. I'll give you a quick summary of your dog's stay and answer any questions you may have. You may pay ahead of time via Venmo or Paypal, or hand me payment when you pick up. If I'm already with a client, it is best to wait in the driveway until the previous client has their dog safe in the car before you proceed. While all of my friends who stay with me are wonderful, they do not all like each other & not all are friendly to everyone. Please be cautious when dropping off and picking up. All dogs should be brought in & out of your vehicle on leashes.

TLC Pet Lodge, LLC- Located at 318 Garnsey Rd, Delanson, NY   
Duanesburg area, Schenectady County

TLC Pet Lodge is a dog boarding facility located in a beautiful country setting at 318 Garnsey Rd in Delanson, New York. TLC  sits on several acres, allowing for walks through the grass, the woods, and around a huge pond. The Lodge has 20 rooms and each room has an indoor and outdoor section. Dogs at TLC do not have physical contact with each other. All dogs are cared for with love & respect; and their safety & happiness are my top priorities.

The slideshow shows photos of the grounds as well as the dogs' rooms inside the Lodge. Tours of TLC are not offered at this time because there is just not enough time in the day. :) Telephone calls are very difficult but I am happy to answer questions via email at TLCLodge@gmail.com within 24 hours. Please take a look at TLC's Facebook page to see recent photos. 

​

Living on the property allows me to check on your best friend at any time day or night 7 days per week and gives you the peace of mind knowing I'm only steps away. Whether here for a day, a week, a month or more, you can be sure your dog is being cared for with walks, play time, & lots of personal attention. I love dogs & enjoy spending time caring for them & discovering their unique personalities.

 

I make all of my guests as relaxed & comfortable as possible. Beds are provided for all guests unless their chewing habits make it unsafe to have beds in their rooms. Guests are provided with drinking water at all times while in their rooms unless you request otherwise. Water bowls & food dishes are provided as are slow-feeders if needed. 

​

There are NO additional charges for making your dog comfortable- that's part of my job & one of my main goals. If your dog needs an extra walk or two to feel comfortable, we'll walk. If we need a little more time to get to know each other before he/she is okay with me handling him/her, then we spend a little extra time together. It usually only takes a short stay or two before most dogs are excited to come back to see me. Sometimes, it's a combination of nervous & excited. My hope is that their excitement to stay at TLC & to see me, will help give you a little more freedom to travel without feeling anxious or guilty.
