About Petz Pack

At Petz Pack, we provide a personalized, stress-free dog boarding experience that’s truly one-of-a-kind. As a local, family-owned business, we board dogs in our own homes, not at a facility. Your dog will stay in a thoroughly vetted home and host who offers daily photo updates and personalized care. We’re committed to your dog’s well-being, ensuring they feel right at home while you’re away.

Why Choose Petz Pack

Feel Good About Boarding

We board dogs in our homes, not just at facilities. This ensures your dog is in a familiar, comforting environment, with daily photo updates and personalized care. We stick to your dog’s routine to minimize stress and help them feel at ease.

Expertly Vetted Hosts

Unlike typical pet-sitting services, all Petz Pack hosts undergo thorough vetting, including interviews, home inspections, and dog behavior assessments. Our hosts are trained to interpret canine body language and follow our tried-and-true safety policies, ensuring safe, healthy, and fun interactions for your pup.

Stress-Free Experience for Your Dog

We prioritize your dog’s safety and comfort. Our hosts provide supervised interaction with other dogs, and we maintain strict standards to ensure your pup is always the top priority. Your dog will never be left alone for more than 3 hours, and they are treated like family while in our care.

24/7 Local Support

Unlike solo pet sitters, Petz Pack offers 24/7 local support to our hosts. In case of unexpected situations, our main location is ready to step in, ensuring continuous care. With our system of tracking all dogs’ locations, we provide this extra layer of support for peace of mind.

How it Works

Find Your PAWfect Host
We provide several ways for you to find the ideal host for your dog. Browse hosts by proximity, experience, home and yard features, or reviews to make the best choice for your pup.

Create an Account
To start, simply register for an account and add your dog’s information. We will need this information to determine availability. This is a one time action, your account and dog’s information will be saved in the system for next time!

Place Request
Next, file your availability request where you will select your preferred host and the necessary dates. Availability isn’t publicly posted since it depends on various factors, but your selected host will reach out to confirm availability and schedule meet and greet.

Meet and Greet
Once your host confirms availability, they will reach out to schedule a one time meet and greet which is good for all our supported locations. This allows you and your host to ensure it’s a good fit.

Your Pup’s First Stay
On the first stay, please bring enough food for your dog’s stay and check with your host for any specific items. Make sure to schedule your arrival time, and we’ll help make the drop-off process smooth and easy.

Stay in the Loop
We’ll send you daily photo updates so you can see your pup enjoying their stay. Your host may also post some fun highlights on our social media—be sure to follow along to see if your pup gets featured!
