Boarding Services

Going out of town? Our boarding has you covered! We offer safe, clean facilities under regular daytime staff supervision. You’ll have peace of mind knowing that a veterinarian is just steps away if your pet needs medical care.

We offer plenty of exercise and socialization for dogs with added Day Play and enrichment opportunities available. Our feline friends enjoy condos in a separate quieter boarding area where they have room to move and stretch and receive lots of attention.

Amenities

  • Indoor and outdoor play yards
  • Available group or individual Day Play
  • Food, water, bedding, and enrichment, available for the duration of their stay

Our spaces fill quickly, especially during summer, spring break, and holidays. We recommend you make your reservations as soon as your plans are confirmed and a minimum of two weeks in advance. To make a reservation at Kittery Animal Hospital, call us at 207-439-4158.
