Pet Boarding Services in Winter Haven, FL

We promise to do the same for your beloved pet when they board with us while you’re away. We provide overnight boarding services to pets of all ages, from puppies and kittens to senior pets, and everything in between. Your pet’s care is our greatest concern during their stay with us.

For your pet’s benefit and your peace of mind, our boarding facility is veterinarian and veterinary staff supervised, enabling us to provide complete medical care for your pet in the event of an emergency. We are also able to provide care for any boarders who may have special needs, including medication, special dietary requirements, and more.

What should I pack?

  • Food – If you have ever tried to introduce a different type of food to your dog, you know that this can cause a negative change in appetite and even upset stomach. Since your dog may already feel a little nervous in an unfamiliar environment it’s best to keep the other aspects of his life as normal as possible. We recommend using small plastic baggies to package pre-measured meals, and label them “Breakfast”, “Lunch”, and “Dinner”. This will ensure that your dog is getting exactly the right amount of food at each meal.
  • Medicine – Many dogs must take certain medication and/or supplements on a daily basis, and we will be happy to administer these to them as needed. Include the appropriate number of doses that your dog will need to take in your absence, as well as written instructions with details such as dosage amount and schedule. If the medicine and/or supplements must be taken with food, it’s helpful to include them in a separate bag in the pre-packaged meal bags.
  • A reminder of home – Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and this is especially true for pets and their owners. No matter how much fun you and your pet are having, you on your vacation and your dog with his new friends, you will surely miss each others’ company. To keep your dog feeling close to you even in your absence, include something with your scent. This can be a blanket, t-shirt, or even a sock. This is a wonderful way to help your dog feel comfortable, calm, and stress-free.
  • Emergency Contact Information – Just as you would for a human child, leaving emergency contact information for your dog is a great idea. If you’re leaving town, you’ll want to leave the name and phone number of someone in the area to help care for your dog in the event of an emergency at the boarding facility.

Is there anything I should leave at home?

  • Favorite toy or bed – We are well equipped with all sorts of toys for your pet to play with as well as bedding for them to sleep on. You can bring these items, but remember that a lot of laundry is done throughout the day and we do not want to misplace a beloved item.
  • Small rawhides or chew toys – While you definitely can bring items to keep your pet entertained, please be aware that some items could end up being choking hazards and will not be left in their rooms.
  • Food/ water bowls – We do provide metal bowls in every shape and size as well as bowl stands so no need to bring your own, especially ceramic dishes!
