Tampa’s a city that loves our pets, and wants them to have the happiest life in the sun and warm weather. We all have to leave town now and then and unfortunately can’t take our pet friends with us. When you go away, make sure your pet is still just as happy and comfortable at a pet boarding service.

Getting Ready to Board Your Pet in Tampa

Pet boarding shelters require up-to-date vaccination records to ensure your pet and the other pets with them are safe and healthy. Most pet boarding shelters welcome dogs and cats, and some may even care for your other critters like rabbits or guinea pigs.

Some boarding services may require a prerequisite visit that functions like an interview—this is to familiarize your pet with the area and help the boarders get to know your pet in order for your furry friend to remain comfortable during his stay.

All About Pet Boarding in Tampa

There are a variety of options to make when boarding your pet, including:

The size of their room or pen
Whether they have access to a playroom, puppy pool, or other shared area
Special services such as bathing and grooming, regular walks, cuddling time, and snacks

A pet boarding service typically asks you to provide your pet’s food, treats, or other snacks in plastic containers when you drop them off. You will also have to provide feeding instructions and preferences, so that your pet’s regular routine stays as normal as possible while they’re in a new place.

Your boarders may also suggest you bring a favorite bed or toy to keep in their pen for comfort while you’re away.

What Does Pet Boarding Cost in Tampa?

You may have the choice of paying per night, or buying a longer stay that covers several nights and/or multiple pets.

Pet boarding usually costs between $20 and $50 per night, per pet. Multi-night packages may be offered and vary in pricing based on the length of stay and services provided. Some boarding services offer services for an additional rate, such as special snacks, walks, cuddling, or bedtime tuck-in.
