What comes with pet boarding?
When you board your pet, we ask you to bring your pet’s diet, medication (if necessary), instructions for feeding them, or how to administer medication. We also allow you to leave belongings with your pet if you wish, though we recommend only bringing the essentials as we are not responsible for items lost while your pet is boarded. We will happily provide you with updates and pictures via text message throughout your pet’s stay if you’d like.
