Frequently Asked Questions About In-Home Boarding
What's the difference between in-home boarding and a kennel? Instead of staying in a cage or kennel run, your dog stays in our actual home. That means a calm, family environment, a fenced yard for playtime, and constant companionship rather than being left alone in a crate for long stretches.
Do you require a meet-and-greet before booking? Yes. We ask every new client to schedule a meet-and-greet so your dog can get comfortable with us and our home before their stay, and so you can see the space and ask any questions.
Will my dog be around other dogs? We keep group sizes manageable so every dog gets personalized attention, rather than being one of many in a large kennel setting. Reach out and let us know your dog's temperament so we can make sure it's a good fit.
What should I bring for my dog's stay? We recommend bringing your dog's regular food, any medications, and a favorite toy or blanket to help them feel at home. Let us know about any special routines your dog is used to.
Do you send updates during the stay? Yes, we're happy to send photos and updates so you can relax and enjoy your trip knowing your dog is safe and comfortable.
What areas do you serve? We provide in-home dog boarding for Lakewood Ranch, Bradenton, Parrish, Sarasota, and the surrounding Florida communities.
If your dog just needs daytime care instead of an overnight stay, our Doggy Day Camp may be a better fit. For shorter visits or dogs who do best staying in their own home, we also offer Pet Sitting and Dog Walking. And if you're traveling and need your house looked after too, check out our Home Watch services.
