Summer Vacation Dog Boarding in Trivandrum — Reserve Before The Trip Is Booked
Most Trivandrum families book their summer trip — Goa, Maldives, Munnar, Wayanad, Bangalore relatives — and then realise the dog needs somewhere too. By that time, every reputable boarding in Trivandrum is full. We know because we're the "sorry, fully booked" ones come Vishu week. Plan the dog before the flight.

Why Book With Neolokam for Summer Vacation
4-Acre Open Farm
Tree-shaded property in Malayinkil (12 km from Trivandrum centre). Real space to roam, not a 6×4 ft cubicle.
Pool Cooling Twice Daily
Supervised swim sessions every morning and evening — built into the daily price, no surcharge.
Vet on Call
Local Trivandrum vet on speed dial; we send a daily WhatsApp photo and short voice update so you can travel relaxed.
Home-Style Food
Rice + curd + vegetables + protein. We feed what your dog eats at home — sudden food change in summer is not on us.
No Cages, No AC Cubicles
Cage-free model with shaded shed for naps and rains. Open-air boarding that's genuinely open.
Small Group Capacity
We deliberately cap headcount per period. We turn away requests when full rather than overcrowd. That's why slot reservation matters.
Vacation Boarding FAQ
How far ahead should I book for Vishu / April–May?
Vishu week (April 8–15): book by mid-March, ideally earlier. School holiday peak (April 20 – May 31): 4–6 weeks ahead. Long weekends: 10–14 days ahead. Last-minute slots open occasionally from cancellations but treat that as bonus, not plan.
What's the cancellation policy for vacation bookings?
Free reschedule with 7 days notice. 50% refund for cancellations 3–7 days before. No refund inside 72 hours (because we've turned away other dogs to hold your slot). For multi-week bookings we agree custom terms in writing.
Can I do a trial day before the actual vacation?
Strongly recommended. Free 4-hour day-care visit before any vacation booking — your dog meets the property and team, you confirm comfort, we identify any food/medical specifics. Most families that do this end up returning yearly.
Can I drop off and pick up at unusual hours for early flights?
Yes, with notice. We accommodate 4 AM drop-offs and 11 PM pickups for Trivandrum airport flights. WhatsApp 48 hours ahead so we can plan staff.

From Rs.1,200/night. WhatsApp dates, dog name & breed — we confirm in 30 minutes.
