So what does boarding a pet through DoD entail? It’s all about connection, compassion, and care!

Each furry friend comes with a detailed Boarding & Care Plan, your go-to guide for providing top-notch care. Imagine it as a pet handbook—covering everything from their favorite treats to emergency plans. Completed by the military pet owners, this comprehensive guide fosters discussion and planning between DoD Boarders and owners, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable boarding experience. Once the pet is deployed to you, the DoD Boarder, this plan is your 24/7 companion for all things pet care.

But it’s more than just caring for a pet; it’s a chance to create a profound connection that enriches both the pet’s life and your own!

“Through DoD, I took care of a border collie, Freya, for almost 5 years (about 50% of the time). It was incredibly rewarding! Freya’s owner has since been relocated to the Dallas area. I’ve been super busy since having Freya, traveling for work, but when things settle down, I plan to sign up to board a DoD dog again.” -DoD Boarder, Wendy
