Boarding

Your pet's home away from home.

Effective October 1, 2023, we will no longer offer boarding services on the weekends.  We will continue to offer boarding Monday - Friday for our clients who need to board their pet(s).


Located in Rockland, Rockland Animal Hospital offers pet boarding for cats and dogs so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away.

At Rockland Animal Hospital, we know the importance of finding the perfect boarding facility. We are dedicated to making your pet's vacation as comfortable and satisfying as possible and we promise to take care of your furry friend as if they were our own.

Our boarders enjoy these amenities during their stay:

  • Clean, spacious cages and runs
  • Outdoor leash walks
  • A comfortable atmosphere
  • Fresh bedding and daily housekeeping
  • Individualized care
  • Daily observations
  • Veterinary medical care (if needed)

To make your pet's stay as comfortable as possible, feel free to send them with their favorite treats, toys, or bedding.

We love having your pet board with us and hope they enjoy it as well. We try to give them extra special care and attention. Please ask to tour our facilities so you know where your pet is staying while you're away. Our policies are in your pet's best interest so please ask if you have any questions. If you are not a current client, we will need to have a current copy of your pet's vaccination history prior to boarding and will update anything that is overdue prior to or during your pet's stay with us.
