We Accept All Breeds!
When you bring your pet to our pet boarding kennels you are making a great choice! Our pet boarding kennels are surrounded by 4 beautiful acres in the country.
Unlike other boarding kennels, we don’t have any strict check out times. Many kennels in Tampa will require you pay for an entire extra day if you check out after noon. Not so at Part of the Family Kennels! Pick your pet up any time during regular business hours and you will not be charged for another day. Plus – all guests who stay more than 5 or more days receive a complimentary bath on their day of departure.
Please see our FAQ’s page for more details about boarding.
Discounts are available for pets who stay longer than 3 weeks! Give us a call to discuss.
Dog Boarding:
With plenty of sun, shade and room to play, your pet will feel like she is the one on vacation!
Our indoor kennels are sparkling clean and provide ample room for your dog to nap, eat or gnaw on a favorite chew.
Your pet will enjoy outside time twice a day in our large outdoor runs and get lots of TLC.
Want your pet to have extended playtime? For a small extra charge we will let them run free in our securely fenced yard monitored by one of our employees. We can throw a ball or a frisbee for them or just let them follow their nose and investigate. They won’t be with other dogs so there is no risk of a fight breaking out causing injury.
If you have multiple dogs of course they can play together at no extra charge.

Each day your cat will get to spend time in our special play area designed just for cats. It includes a window view to the outside with a ledge to lie on, kitty toys to play with, a scratching post and different levels to jump around on. Our schedule maintains frequent visits to the cat room for cuddling, treats, and socializing so your pet will never feel alone.

Food and Comfort:
We strongly recommend that you bring your pet’s food. An abrupt change in diet can cause diarrhea and even make your pet sick.
Please feel free to bring hard chew toys and treats but please do not bring anything fabric. Even dogs that don’t chew at home may do so when in a different environment and any fabric presents a serious health risk if swallowed. We will provide bedding or a cot for all dogs also.
We will be sure that your pet and his kennel are kept clean, always has fresh water, and we can feed your pet their own food and any special treats you would like to bring along.
Medications:
We will administer your pet’s medication including insulin shots, heart worm preventatives and any supplements that you provide.
Unlike many other dog boarding kennels, we do not charge extra to administer your pet’s medications.
Vaccinations:
For dogs, the vaccinations required include the Distemper/Parvo combo vaccine and Rabies. The Bordetella (kennel cough) vaccine is optional and is up to you. Keep in mind the bordetella vaccine may not prevent your dog from catching bordetella no matter when it was given as the vaccine only protects against the most common strains and it can take 2 to 3 weeks after getting vaccinated before your dog builds up sufficient immunity to protect it.
*** If you do decide to get the bordetella vaccine please do so at least 7 days before you plan to board your dog. After getting the vaccine your dog will continue to shed the virus for up to 7 days and can infect other dogs, even those dogs who have been vaccinated.
You can request the bordetella injection in place of the nasal drops so your dog won’t be shedding the virus and won’t be contagious to other dogs.
For cats vaccinations required include Rabies, Feline Leukemia and FVRCP. Please call or email us if you have any questions about boarding your cat at our pet boarding facility.
We cannot board a pet without the required vaccinations and it is recommended that all these shots be given at least 2 weeks before boarding.
Your dog should have had a negative heartworm test and be on a monthly heart worm product.
Flea and Tick Control:
Your pet must be current with a flea AND tick control product. Trifexis, Comfortis and some other products do not treat for ticks. We have the topical flea and tick control products available to treat your pet at check-in if you do not have a tick control product.
