Leaving your pet, even for a short trip, can tug at your heartstrings. Whether it’s a vacation, a family emergency, or just a packed workweek, you want your four-legged family member safe, happy, and well cared for until you’re back. At Amigo Animal Hospital in Westminster, CA, we understand that pets aren’t just animals. They’re trusted companions, comic relief, and loyal friends rolled into one. That’s why our pet boarding near you is designed to offer a loving, secure environment where your cat or dog feels right at home.
Why Choose Veterinary Supervised Boarding?
Boarding your pet with a team who truly knows animal health brings extra peace of mind. Our trained staff keeps a close eye on every guest, making sure their needs are met, and our veterinarians are right on site for any health concerns that pop up. If your pet takes medications, has special dietary requirements, or just needs a little extra TLC, we tailor our care to fit it perfectly. Think of it as a blend between a safe hotel and a cozy home, all under the watchful care of people who love animals as much as you do.
Comfort, Safety, and Play
We know every pet is unique. Some are social butterflies ready to make new friends. Others are shy or just need a little peace and quiet. Our facility offers climate-controlled spaces, soft bedding, and daily routines designed to keep tails wagging and kitty whiskers twitching in curiosity. Playtime, walks, and gentle attention are all part of the package, because we believe a busy pet is a happy pet.
For our feline friends, we offer separate boarding areas to keep things calm and low stress. For dogs, safe outdoor breaks and individualized care routines are the norm. If your pet needs ongoing medical treatment while boarding, you can rest easy knowing our veterinary team is equipped to handle it.

What Should I Look for in a Pet Boarding Facility?
Unfortunately, not all pet boarding facilities have everything necessary to be a quality place for your pet. There are some tried and true requirements you will want to have:
- Insurance, bonding, and certifications are an important aspect of any pet boarder. You want to make sure your pet is covered if he is hurt, if he hurts someone else or another animal, or does damage while at the boarder.
- Rules about vaccinations should be in place. As your pet will be staying with other pets for several days, you will want to make sure everyone is up to date on vaccinations.
- A clean, well-organized pet boarding center is a good indicator of the way in which they will care for your pet.
- Kennels and all areas should be free of items that may be of potential harm to your pet. Broken kennels can result in your little escape artist getting away. Checking for secure fencing outside the facility is important as well.
- Unless you have been advised to not give your pet too much water due to bloating, there should be continuous clean water available. If your pet has any special instructions for food and water, make sure you inform the boarder.
- Dogs, in particular, should be allowed to go outside and run around. If there isn't a space to do that, perhaps you should look elsewhere.
- What are the safety measures as far as other dogs and cats interacting? Pens shouldn't have any spaces where another animal could bite or scratch your pet. Inquire about playtime. Are animals allowed to be together? If so, how does the boarder make certain there won't be negative interactions?
- Find out how the boarder handles bad behavior. Pet boarders should always treat each animal with patience and kindness. However, they also need to have plans in place to deal with aggressive behavior.
