WHAT'S INCLUDED

More than a place to spend the night.

An overnight stay at Dear Winnie begins before your dog arrives and continues well after you pick them up. Every part of their stay is designed around comfort, not convenience.

Arrival Day Care

FFull daycare on arrival day—included at no additional charge.

Evening Wind-down

Warm lighting, quiet spaces, and a calm transition into bedtime.

Real Beds

Dogs sleep on real beds with soft, clean bedding—just like they do at home.

Morning Routine

Breakfast, rest, and care through 2:00 PM — unhurried.

Overnight staff

A human companion stays with the dogs throughout the night, always nearby if they're needed.

Climate-controlled

Comfortable all night, regardless of Louisiana's heat or humidity.

HOW THE EVENING UNFOLDS

Evenings are quiet here.

Overnight stays are designed to feel as much like home as possible. Evenings are calm, bedtime is unhurried, and we follow each dog's routine whenever we can.

"Mornings are gentle."

AFTERNOON

Time to unwind

Social time naturally slows, giving dogs time to relax before bedtime.

EVENING

Dinner & Quiet Time

Feeding follows each dog's usual schedule. The space settles into a calmer, lower-light environment.

NIGHT

Settled & Supervised

A human companion stays with the dogs throughout the night, providing comfort whenever it's needed.

MORNING

A Gentle Start

Dogs wake at their own pace and remain with us through 2:00 PM.

BEFORE YOU ARRIVE

A few things that help.

We provide everything your dog needs, but a few familiar comforts from home can help them settle in even faster.

Including the small things — whether your dog prefers their water with ice, or what helps them settle at night.

Their usual food

Bring enough food for your dog's entire stay. Familiar meals help dogs settle more comfortably.

A comfort item from home

A blanket, toy, or anything that smells like home. Not required, but it helps.

Any medications

Clearly labeled with dosage and timing. Let us know in advance.

PRICING

One rate. Everything included.

There are no extra fees for care, real beds, or your dog's morning stay. One overnight rate includes everything through 2:00 PM on departure day.
