Memorial Day Weekend Dog Boarding: What Pet Parents Should Know Before Traveling

Memorial Day Weekend is one of the busiest travel weekends of the year — and that means dog boarding reservations fill up fast. If you're planning a getaway, now is the perfect time to make sure your pup has a safe, comfortable place to stay while you're away.

Why holiday boarding books early

Holiday weekends are high-demand times for our pet resort. Many families travel at the same time, which means limited availability for overnight stays. Booking early helps ensure your dog gets a spot and gives you time to prepare everything they'll need for a smooth stay.

What to bring for your dog's boarding stay

To help your dog feel comfortable during Memorial Day Weekend boarding, be sure to pack:

  • Enough food for their entire stay
  • Any medications with clear instructions
  • Emergency contact information
  • Comfort items like a blanket or favorite toy

Tips to prepare your dog for boarding

If your dog is new to boarding, consider scheduling a daycare visit beforehand. This gives them a chance to get familiar with the environment, staff, and daily routine before an overnight stay.

Other helpful tips:

  • Keep drop-offs calm and positive
  • Maintain your dog's feeding schedule before arrival
  • Update any care instructions with staff ahead of time

Reserve your spot early

Booking ahead helps ensure your pup has a fun, safe place to stay while you enjoy your holiday plans. Whether your dog loves group play, extra cuddles, or relaxing in a cozy suite, planning early makes all the difference for a stress-free holiday weekend.
