BOARDING / PET SITTING

It is the general policy of 4Paws University to not make referrals to boarding, pet sitting, or daycare facilities. Although we acknowledge that there are many professional, knowledgeable pet sitters, day cares and boarding facilities available in the area, we do not have personal experience leaving our dogs in their care. 

Please thoroughly research any business or organization before leaving your pet in someone else's care.
