Pet boarding is an excellent alternative to pet sitting for your furry friends. Check out the many reasons why we choose boarding services over asking a friend to pet sit!

Pet Boarding Service

Pet boarding is a service for your pets when you travel or go out of town. We all love our pets, but sometimes we want to do things that require leaving them for extended periods of time. If you’re going somewhere for a day or two and you have a cat, your cat can likely stay home by themselves for that time. Unfortunately, dogs are a little less self-sufficient since they need to go outdoors for the bathroom. They will not do well being left alone for even a full day. This is when boarding comes in handy!

Whether you are going out of town for a few days or weeks, pet boarding is an excellent alternative. The professionals that work at boarding places are well versed in different types of animals and the care they require. In addition, if your pet requires any medication, boarding employees will know how to administer it.

One of the reasons people choose pet boarding is because they know their animal won’t be alone. When pets are alone at home for long periods of time, owners often worry. Are they nervous? Are they bored? Do they need exercise? At boarding facilities, your furry friend will not find themselves alone. Staff is there to interact with your pet and make them feel comfortable while they are away from home. This can include walks, playing outside, baths, and even the friendly pets that remind your pets of you.
