Frequently Asked Dog Boarding Questions

Dog boarding is a service where dogs stay overnight at a specialized facility with professional care, feeding, exercise, and supervision while their owners are away.

We recommend bringing your dog's regular food, any medications, and a familiar item that smells like home (such as a blanket or toy). Please avoid bringing valuable items, as they may get lost during play sessions.

All dogs at Petropolis are required to have the following vaccinations:

  • Rabies
  • Distemper (DHPP)
  • Bordetella

Visit our vaccination policy page to learn more.

Depending on your chosen activity package, your dog will enjoy anywhere from a few 20 minute play sessions each day, up to 4 hours of supervised group play. 

Our staff is trained to administer medications to your pet during their stay (for no additional fee), with some limitations. Due to the risks, we will not administer injections such as insulin.
