Pet Boarding
We know it takes trust to board your fur baby.
Your Pet’s Home Away From Home
We promise to care for all Eno boarding pets as if they were our own. We know it takes trust to board your fur baby. Our experienced boarding assistants provide the best care, cleanliness, attention, exercise, snuggles, and spoiling.
Best yet: Since we’re a Fear Free veterinary hospital, if your pet has tummy trouble, itchy skin, or any kind of health issue, our medical professionals are here on site ready to jump in and help, instead of having to transfer your pet to another place.
Your Pet’s Eno Vacation: What to Expect
You may check in your pet for boarding any time we’re open, although we ask you to come at the earliest 8:30 a.m. and the latest 5:30 p.m. You can pick up your pet any time we are open! When we’re closed, for first Saturdays or Sundays or holidays, you can come pick up your pet the very next day we’re open. No special exceptions may be made to meet us here after hours. Thank you for respecting our team’s time!
We check on pets at least three times a day—and often much more just because we love them! We meticulously track eating, drinking, and elimination habits. If we ever notice anything amiss, a member of our medical team or veterinarian is alerted immediately.
When we’re closed (on first and fifth Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays), we’re happy to provide lots of love and attention, or lots of peace and quiet if your pet prefers. We can usually make special accommodations and are happy to go above and beyond to provide the best pet boarding experience.

Do You Accept New Patients to Board?
Yes! To join the Eno family, call our team or book a visit online. We need to meet your pet and establish care before a boarding reservation. Remember you get $40 off your first visit.
Just like in human medicine, veterinarians must legally and ethically establish a doctor/patient relationship with all pets in our care. (We’re a private hospital, not a doggy daycare or public boarding facility.) Your vet will perform a full physical exam and update any core vaccinations required to keep all boarding pets safe. See our Boarding Policies below for details.
Please book boarding as far in advance as possible. We want to put a two-week cushion between your pet’s first visit and boarding stay.
Why?
#1: We want to make sure your fur baby is comfortable with us! Our Fear Free pros will assess your pet’s emotional health score and determine if boarding is the best option. Pets with high fear, anxiety, and stress do much better at home with a sitter.
In fact, pets with a high FAS (“fear, anxiety, and stress”) score can suffer trauma being boarded: refusing to eat, shaking and whimpering, showing fear aggression, and worse. This is awful for your fur baby and dangerous to our team.
We only accept boarding pets with FAS scores of 3 or below and require our “chill protocol” for any pets with medium FAS scores. We welcome and encourage you to book a trial boarding period for your pet! Even a night or two can help us see what’s best for your unique fur baby.
#2. A pet who needs core vaccinations will have two weeks of protection on board when coming to stay in our boarding facilities. The health and safety of all pets in our care is always our top priority.
FEAR FREE BOARDING
Our boarding team goes above and beyond to craft custom boarding experiences for exactly what each unique fur baby needs. Yet pets with high fear, anxiety, and stress (FAS) almost always do better at home.
Overly stressed pets suffer physical trauma, such as elevated blood pressure, increased heart rate, and GI issues. They may cower, whimper, gnaw at themselves, or refuse to eat. Extreme stress is harmful and dangerous for fur babies, who may then pose a danger to our team. Worse, we can’t properly take care of them.
We cannot safely feed, water, walk, clean up, or give medical care to a pet who lunges, bites, or otherwise shows severe fear aggression. These pets are not bad pets! Our team simply isn’t able to make sure high FAS pets get the nourishment and care they need and deserve.
Every Eno pet gets an FAS score as part of a larger emotional health report, in keeping with our certification as a Fear Free hospital. Your pet’s FAS score is based on Fear Free guidelines and close observation. On a scale of 1 to 5, the higher the FAS the higher the score.
Our boarding team only accepts boarding pets with low or moderate FAS scores. A pet with an FAS score of 5 (the highest possible) needs a pet sitter, and we’re happy to recommend great ones! Pets with an FAS score of 3 or 4 (out of 5) need trial boarding.
Dog Boarding
Our dog boarding suite is private and spacious, letting in lots of natural light. We have 16 large runs and six variously sized “rooms” for smaller pooches. Each pet has a designated cubby for food and medications.
In our large fenced-in walking area, your pup can enjoy fresh air and exercise (safely on a leash) at least three times a day. We love to walk dogs, rain or shine!
Cat Boarding
Our cat boarding suite is private and quiet, with plenty of natural light and even bird feeders outside the windows. We have eight spacious connecting rooms, so you can even reserve multiple rooms to give your cat many ways to move around. Each room includes a small cubby for privacy, since we know kitties enjoy alone time!
Day Boarding
We’re not a doggie day care…we’re even better! Most importantly, we’re your fur baby’s doctor, meaning we know and love your pet and can spot any issue right away.
As a day boarder, your pup gets special time with Eno boarding humans, which means lots of extra love and attention in addition to regular walks and treats. We can make your pet’s day as wonderful as possible because…
Day boarding includes fun perks! You pick two from this special menu…
🐾 Brushing: special brushes for short, medium & long fur
🐾 Original art: 4×4″ canvas texture paper, acrylic paint, three colors
🐾 Kong treat: peanut butter or liver paste, fresh or frozen
🐾 Broth-sicle: frozen cube of chicken or vegetable broth
🐾 Story time: curling up with a good book
🐾 Cuddle time: for pups with low FAS
🐾 One-on-one playtime: 15 minutes of extra fresh air & exercise

Our boarding team is happy to welcome your pup as our guest for the day.

Boarding Policies
We must ensure the health and safety of every pet in our hospital. Boarding pets must have a current Eno wellness exam (within the last year) and be current on core vaccinations.
For dogs, core vaccinations are rabies, distemper/parvo, Bordetella, and canine influenza. Boarding dogs must also have an intestinal parasite screen to ensure they are free of contagious worms. For cats, core vaccinations are rabies and FVRCP. Exceptions may be granted by your Eno veterinarian only for medical (not financial or personal) reasons.
If fleas or ticks are found on your pet, we must provide appropriate treatment immediately, at additional cost, both to help your pet and prevent the spread of external parasites in our hospital.
If your pet requires a wellness exam, vaccinations, or any other care, please call us to schedule a vet visit. Make sure to book your pet’s visit well in advance of the intended boarding stay! Demand is quite high, and we book up fast.
Eno is a full-service animal hospital, but we are not open 24/7 and are not an emergency facility. Your boarding pet will be given our utmost care and attention, but he or she will not be supervised overnight.
We practice the best safety. No harnesses or leashes are ever left on boarding pets. Towels, blankets, bedding, toys, and the like will never be left in your pet’s room or run if there is any chance he or she may ingest them.
There is a daily fee for administering medications and monitoring pets on medication. When you check-in, you must provide a list of your pet’s medications and indicate dosage, frequency, and when last given. Medications must be in their original containers with original prescription labels.
We require an emergency contact name and number: someone you authorize to make medical decisions for and/or pick up your pet. We will make every attempt to reach you in the rare event your pet requires urgent care or unexpected treatment.
Boarding pets may take a day or two to settle in at Eno. This is normal! If your pet is too stressed to eat at first, we will offer various foods to entice him or her. If a stressed pet has not eaten for 72 hours, our urgent care protocol kicks in, and we will make every attempt to reach you and then your emergency contact.
TRIAL BOARDING
Trial boarding is different than general boarding. Trial boarding is boarding only and must exclude any medical services, updates, or grooming.
Your pet needs a full physical exam on record with us since all pets in our care must have a doctor/patient relationship. We can perform this exam at a visit prior to trial boarding, not during trial boarding.
The goal of trial boarding is to learn if your pet can board safely and successfully with Fear Free intervention. Trial boarding stay is much like a day admission. Your fur baby will stay one day with us.
Bring your pet to check in at 8:30 a.m. We will do everything we can to ensure the day goes well! Just in case, you must be reachable by phone and prepared to pick up your pet any time before 5:45 p.m.
We will call you with details if major Fear Free intervention becomes crucial. If your pet exhibits major stress, your vet will administer calming medications as the best course of action. If your pet refuses any help, and we cannot safely help your pet, you’ll need to come pick up right away.
The deposit for trial boarding is $40, exactly the price of the stay. This means that when you pick up your pet, the trial boarding is already paid up.
In the rare instance trial boarding turns into an overnight stay, the $40 deposit can be applied to the new charge of one night. (You won’t be charged for both trial boarding and general boarding.)
Being Fear Free certified means we must do this essential screening for pets who may exhibit heightened and dangerous FAS while boarding.
We hope your pet is deemed a good candidate for boarding, and our boarding team will do all we can to make your pet feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable through Fear Free intervention.
Happy Boarding Dogs
