Overnight Care
Boarding
for Dogs & Cats
When you travel, your pet stays in the safest possible environment — a veterinary clinic with trained staff and medical care on site.
Boarding at a veterinary practice
Boarding at Poughkeepsie Animal Wellness means your pet is never far from medical care. Our boarding guests receive daily health checks from our veterinary team, and any health concerns are addressed immediately — without the delay of transporting your pet to a separate facility.
Accommodations
We maintain separate boarding areas for dogs and cats to minimize stress. All accommodations are climate-controlled, cleaned and disinfected daily, and designed for your pet's comfort.
- Separate dog and cat boarding wings
- Individual kennels and runs sized appropriately for your pet
- Comfortable bedding (or bring your pet's own)
- Climate-controlled environment year-round
- Daily cleaning and disinfection
- Quiet hours for rest
Daily care and attention
Our boarding guests are not just housed — they are cared for. Every pet receives multiple daily interactions with our staff, outdoor exercise opportunities, and the attention they need to feel comfortable.
We administer medications at no additional charge. Pets with complex medical needs — diabetes, seizure disorders, post-surgical recovery — are welcome.
- Daily veterinary health checks
- Multiple daily feedings (your pet's regular food or ours)
- Medication administration at no additional charge
- Outdoor exercise and socialization
- Individual attention and playtime
- Daily updates available on request

- Cats: Current rabies and FVRCP vaccines required
- Flea and tick prevention must be current
- Please bring your pet's regular food
