Safe, Comfortable Dog Boarding at The Animal Hospital of Roxbury
At The Animal Hospital of Roxbury, we know that leaving your dog behind can be difficult. That’s why we offer safe, reliable dog boarding in a clean, supervised environment—so you can travel with peace of mind knowing your canine companion is in caring, experienced hands.
Dog boarding is available exclusively for our established patients to ensure we can provide the highest level of safe, personalized care.
Our team treats every dog like family, providing attentive care tailored to their individual needs.
A Comfortable Stay for Your Dog
Our boarding area is designed to keep dogs comfortable, secure, and well cared for throughout their stay. Whether your dog is here for one night or an extended visit, we strive to make their experience as stress-free as possible.
Each dog enjoys:
- A clean, comfortable kennel
- Cozy bedding
- Regular outdoor breaks or walks
- Daily attention from our caring team
Personalized Daily Care
Every dog has their own routine, personality, and preferences. We tailor their care to help them feel as comfortable and at home as possible.
Daily care includes:
- Feeding based on your dog’s normal schedule and diet
- Fresh water available at all times
- Regular walks for exercise and bathroom breaks
- Monitoring of appetite, behavior, and overall well-being
We encourage you to bring your dog’s regular food, treats, or a favorite toy or blanket from home to help them feel more at ease.
Veterinary Supervision for Peace of Mind
One of the greatest benefits of boarding at a veterinary hospital is the added level of medical oversight. Our staff monitors all boarding dogs closely, and a veterinarian is available should any concerns arise during your pet’s stay.

This makes our facility an excellent choice for:
- Senior dogs
- Dogs with medical conditions
- Dogs requiring medication
If your dog needs medication while boarding with us, our team can administer it exactly as directed.
Health & Safety Requirements
To protect all of our boarding guests, dogs must be current on required vaccinations prior to their stay. This includes Rabies, Distemper, Bordetella, Influenza, and a negative fecal test. These requirements help us maintain a safe, healthy environment for every pet in our care.
For pets who are not current patients, a veterinary exam is required before boarding to confirm they are healthy and safe to stay with us.
A Trusted Home Away From Home

As a full-service veterinary hospital, we combine compassionate care with medical expertise to provide a boarding experience you can trust. Our goal is simple: to keep your dog safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
Schedule Your Dog’s Stay
Boarding space can fill quickly, especially during holidays and peak travel times. We recommend reserving your dog’s stay in advance.
