Pet Boarding FAQs

What are the benefits of pet boarding?

Boarding at Sorenson Kennels allows experienced staff to watch over your pets while you are away. Our facility allows your pets, no matter what temperament, to have a safe environment to stay in while you are away. Our staff can keep a close eye on pets and make sure they are eating properly and add anything if needed. We are also knowledgeable about pets and the importance of them taking their medications. We can make sure their medications are administered properly and that they are actually taken.

We have 5×17 runs in which your dog can stay and has room to stretch out. If you have more than one pet, they are allowed to stay together. We are completely heated and cooled, so your pet will always stay comfortable. We offer one-on-one play time so your pet can get special attention doing what they want, whether that is playing with a toy or just getting some pets.

What do I do before boarding?

If your pet has never boarded before, you are more than welcome to tour and view the facility! This allows you to see where they are staying and let your pet sniff around the property. You can also have your pet experience our St. Charles dog daycare so they can get used to the facility before.

Always make sure that your pet is updated on all of their vaccinations. Remember, you can never book your boarding reservation too early! Everyone likes to vacation for the holidays as well as over the summer, so make sure when you plan your vacation that you also plan for your pets. Don’t forget to ask about playtime and obedience refresher training!

What should I do on the day of boarding?

When you drop your pet off for boarding, make sure you have a few minutes for the staff to get all the information we need about your stay. If you are a new client, we will have you fill out some new client paperwork. Bring an updated copy of your pet’s shot records with you so that we can update their file. You are more than welcome to bring your own food, but when you do, make sure you bring enough with you or even a little more in case you have to extend your stay. We recommend the same with medication, we will ask when the meds are given and how often, please make sure you provide enough for their stay. We also offer baths for dogs at the end of your stay, let us know if you would like to have your dog bathed before they come home.
