The Best Places to Board Your Pets in the Arlington Area

We are between pets right now. Our beloved dog, Kenzi, passed away in January of natural causes, and we (finally, mostly I) haven't been ready to welcome a new furry pet into our home just yet.

If you are facing the loss of a pet, read the article I wrote for Zulily about how to help kids cope with losing a furry friend here. 

When we did have a dog, though, this is the time of year I would start to stress about making plans for her during our summer travel. I always wanted Kenzi to have a place where she could play and be well cared for when we were off on our summer adventures.

So I've rounded up five of the best places to board dogs in the Arlington area. These spots all have plush accommodations for your beloved pets and will keep them happy and healthy until you can be with them again. 

5 great places to board your dog in the Arlington area.

Best Places to Board a Dog in the Arlington Area

1. Richter Animal Hospital and Pet Resort- The vets at this hospital at 287 & Sublett were the ones who took care of our sweet dog in her older years. The facility is very well kept, and the pet resort comes highly recommended.

2. Pet Resort in The Gardens- This central spot, located near Pioneer Parkway & Bowen, gives new clients one free night of boarding! The Pet Resort also offers doggie day care as well as dog training and bathing. Who doesn't love a one-stop shop?

3. Cozy Pup Resort- Run by an awesome teacher at Corey Academy, the Cozy Pup Resort is the spot where we will send our next furry friend when he or she needs to be boarded. My girls adore Ms. Evans, their dance teacher, and I can refer you to a number of mamas who would highly recommend your pup go stay at Cozy Pup Resort!

4. Wagtime Doggie Daycare- Situated in North Arlington near Whole Foods, this dog-loving spot will take great care of your pup when you are away. They offer daycare as well as overnight boarding and even offer punch cards to save you a bit of cash! 

5. PawPaw's Doghouse- Okay, this spot is in Mansfield. What I love about this spot is the Sweet Barks Sanctuary Senior Rescue that PawPaw's supports! Have you doggies boarded and groomed at this spot near Debbie & 1187 and know that your money is supporting rescued dogs. Learn more on their website. 

Also worth a mention is Rover.com, where I have found a number of awesome dog walkers and boarders through the years!
