Pet Vacations

Pet Vacations Irmo offers dog boarding, cat boarding, and dog daycare at 10013 Broad River Road in Irmo, SC. It runs more like a small pet hotel than a traditional kennel, with private suites in place of open runs. Dogs of every size, small through large, are accepted.

What a stay includes

• Private boutique suites with twin or full size beds and plush bedding
• Flat screen TVs showing Dog TV, and soothing music in the guest rooms
• Indoor and outdoor parks plus an indoor exercise area
• An astro turf playground with a pool
• Playtime four times a day

Grooming is available on site, and staff can give medications or feed a special diet when a dog needs one. Nightly rates published by the kennel range from $40 to $70, depending on the room.

What sets it apart

The building is climate controlled, and the HVAC carries a UV light system meant to reduce viruses and bacteria. Rooms are quiet and separate, which suits dogs that do better away from a busy group setting. Daycare is available for owners who need a day of supervised play rather than an overnight stay. Cats are boarded here too.

Practical details

Reservations are made by phone at 803-728-0382. The kennel is open 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to noon on Saturday, and 3:00 to 5:00 PM on Sunday. Current vaccinations are required for every guest. Owners bringing a dog on medication or a special feeding schedule can arrange that when they call.
