The Year-Round Pup Club Membership

The Year-Round Pup Club Membership sits at a practical crossroads: Big Oak Flat, California, the small community that serves as a western gateway to Yosemite National Park. This membership is designed for dog owners who want routine care and regular outdoor time for their pets while visiting or living near this rugged, granite country. What makes the Year-Round Pup Club special is its limited scale and local focus.

Only 10 memberships are sold each year, so members get predictable availability during holidays and peak seasons. Each monthly package bundles six nights of boarding (each including an Adventure Walk), three full days of daycare, a trail snack pack and one bath, plus two free pickups and drop-offs. Members also receive an annual YTT T-shirt and priority booking — conveniences that add up when you compare the cost and logistics of booking boarding and daycare separately.

Adventure Walks and daycare routes take advantage of the patchwork of oak woodlands and mixed-conifer forest that ring Big Oak Flat. Dogs move over dirt singletrack, across granite slabs, and past seasonal creeks on short, supervised hikes. The landscape here is dominated by granite bedrock and glacially carved topography — the same geological character that defines Yosemite — so walks often include low-angle granite slabs and wide views of pine-lined ridgelines.

Expect to see gray squirrels, mule deer, and loud Steller's jays; owners should remain alert for larger wildlife signs in spring and fall. Beyond logistics, the membership is woven into local outdoor culture: it frees up time for owners to hike, climb, or paddle without interruption and it stabilizes a small business that supports trail stewardship and pet-first services in a high-season tourism corridor. Practical policies such as rolling dates, discounted multi-dog arrangements, and two monthly pickups create flexibility for frequent travelers.

If you plan to visit nearby trailheads or Yosemite’s Big Oak Flat entrance, this membership is a smart way to keep your dog exercised and socialized. Note that space is limited—once ten memberships sell out for the year, enrollment closes—so plan ahead. Members also help minimize last-minute boarding searches that can strain local resources during holidays.

Whether you live locally or are frequently on the road, the Year-Round Pup Club offers a reliable rhythm of care and outdoor time for your dog, anchored by the distinctive granite, oak, and conifer landscapes around Big Oak Flat and the long-established recreational gateway that is Yosemite National Park (est. 1890). Owners should keep vaccinations current and schedule a behavior assessment before enrollment. For households with three or more dogs, contact the program for customized pricing; unused dates can roll over under the membership terms.
