Give Your Pets a Safe, Happy Holiday While You Travel
The holidays in Pensacola are a time to relax, reconnect, and celebrate. But for pet parents, travel plans often raise a big question: Who will care for my dog or cat while I’m away? Whether you’re driving to visit family in Mobile or flying out of Pensacola International Airport, the right boarding plan ensures your furry friend enjoys a vacation of their own.
At Pensacola Pet Resort, along with Pensacola Pet Resort, Too and Pensacola Pet Resort Premier, we know how important it is for pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved, especially when their families are traveling. With spacious suites, supervised playtime, and a caring team, your pets get the same affection they’d receive at home.
Plan Early. Holiday Spots Fill Fast
Thanksgiving and Christmas are the busiest times of year for pet boarding in Pensacola. Families across Escambia and Santa Rosa counties plan their trips early, and our resorts fill up quickly, especially for large dogs and multi-pet families.
Booking early guarantees your reservation and allows time for a daycare visit before the big trip. A short visit helps your pet get to know our staff, smells, and routines, making their stay over the holidays calm and enjoyable. By the time you’re packing for your trip, your pet is already looking forward to theirs.
Pack Comforts from Home
Even though our facilities provide everything your pet needs, from fresh water to soft bedding, familiar items from home help them feel more secure. Bring along a favorite toy, blanket, or T-shirt that smells like you. The familiar scent offers comfort, especially for first-time boarders.
Label everything clearly, and share feeding instructions, medication details, and any special care notes with our staff. At Pensacola Pet Resort, Pensacola Pet Resort, Too, and Pensacola Pet Resort Premier, we welcome these personal touches to create a home-away-from-home experience for every guest.
Update Vaccines and Flea Prevention
Before boarding, please make sure your pet’s vaccinations are up to date. This includes Bordetella (kennel cough), rabies, and distemper. Updated records protect not only your pet but every furry friend sharing our facility.
Because of Pensacola’s warm, humid Gulf Coast climate, fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes can be active almost year-round. Flea, tick, and heartworm prevention should be current before drop-off.
If you need help updating vaccines or prevention, East Hill Animal Hospital offers quick wellness exams and boosters to keep pets safe and ready for their holiday stay.
Let Pets Socialize Before Boarding
Many dogs feel more relaxed when they’ve already met their caregivers. Scheduling a few doggie daycare sessions before the holidays gives your pet time to make friends and get comfortable with our team.
Our three Pensacola resorts offer doggie daycare options for every pet personality:
- Pensacola Pet Resort – designed for large dogs 40 lbs. and up, with outdoor play and a pool.
- Pensacola Pet Resort, Too – ideal for small dogs and cats that prefer cozy indoor comfort, and also has complete grooming service,.
- Pensacola Pet Resort Premier – offers luxury suites, professional grooming, and indoor swimming.
By the time the holidays arrive, your pet will feel right at home, excited to see familiar faces and ready for fun.
Enjoy Peace of Mind While You’re Away
While you’re celebrating with family, your pets will be celebrating too, with playtime, cuddles, and constant care. Our team monitors every pet guest closely to ensure proper meals, rest, and enrichment. Many families tell us their pets come home calm, clean, and happy after a stay with us, proof that they enjoyed their own holiday adventure.
We know how hard it is to leave your furry family behind, but at Pensacola Pet Resort, we make sure your pets are loved every minute you’re away. You can travel confidently knowing they’re in trusted hands.
