Feathers, Fins 'n Fur Pet Care

Feathers, Fins 'n Fur Pet Care provides crate-free dog boarding and daycare in Auburn, NH, out of a home on three country acres at 371 Chester Turnpike. Dogs board loose on the property rather than in kennel runs, and care is personalized to one animal at a time.

Services

• Crate-free overnight dog boarding
• Doggie daycare
• Daily and vacation in-home pet visits
• Pet taxi transportation
• Medication administration on schedule

What sets it apart

The setup here is closer to a stay in someone's home than a boarding facility: dogs are crate-free, with outdoor space on the acreage. Dogs of every size are accepted, from small breeds through giant ones. The crate-free format tends to suit dogs that settle badly in a kennel run or need medication on a set schedule.

Owners who would rather leave their pet at home can book in-home visits instead, daily or through a vacation. The pet taxi covers rides when nobody in the household is free to drive.

Practical details

Boarding is priced at $48 to $50 per night, based on rates published on the business's own site. Booking is by phone at 603-494-3199, and questions can also go to Jen@feathersfinsnfur.com. Vaccinations must be current, and dogs must be spayed or neutered before boarding. Pickup and drop-off can be arranged for owners who cannot make the trip themselves.
