Leaving your pet with a boarding service or Pet Guardian can feel nerve-wracking, but a little preparation goes a long way in keeping your pet calm, happy and comfortable during their stay.
Pack Familiar Items
Send along your pet's regular bed, blanket or a favorite toy so they have something familiar and comforting nearby.
Update Health Records
Share vaccination records, medication schedules and any allergies with the caregiver in advance.
Do a Trial Visit
If possible, arrange a short trial stay so your pet can get used to the new environment before the real visit.
Share a Routine Sheet
Write down feeding times, walk schedules and habits so your pet's routine stays as normal as possible.
Stay Calm at Drop-off
Pets pick up on your energy. A calm, quick goodbye helps them settle in faster.
A little preparation goes a long way — the more familiar the stay feels, the happier your pet will be.
