What sets this kennel apart

Indian River Veterinary Clinic is next door, so pets boarding here have access to veterinary care during their stay. For an owner whose dog is older or needs closer watching, that proximity is worth weighing. Staff also take photos of guests during their stay. The tuck-in service and daily play sessions point to a routine built around individual attention. Boarding is open to both dogs and cats, so households with both can book one place.
