Animal Friends Pet Care understands that Border Collie boarding isn't one-size-fits-all. With a energetic, intelligent, and work-driven temperament and extremely high — need both physical and mental stimulation multiple times daily exercise needs, Border Collies require boarding staff who know the breed. Our team has years of experience caring for Border Collies and tailors every stay to their specific needs.
Separation anxiety & settling in: Border Collies need activity; without it, they become stressed and develop problem behaviors. Our agility park is ideal for this breed. We send photo and video updates so you can see them comfortable and relaxed throughout their stay.
Exercise & socialization: Can be intense in play groups; herding behavior is common. Best with equally energetic dogs. Our facility features a commercial-grade agility park and supervised outdoor play areas. Border Collies get structured exercise — not just potty breaks — customized to their energy level.
Feeding & health: Standard portions; high metabolism means they may need slightly more during active boarding. We administer medications on schedule at no extra charge, and our team monitors for any health concerns throughout the stay.
Every boarding suite is private, climate-controlled (68-72°F year-round), and equipped with a 24/7 live camera you can access from any device. After Hurricane Michael, we invested $120,000 in solar power, battery banks, and a private deep well — making us the only Panama City boarding facility prepared for multi-day outages.
Border Collie owners across Panama City, Lynn Haven, and Bay County trust Animal Friends for overnight and extended boarding — and the 24/7 live cameras mean you can check on your Border Collie anytime, from anywhere.
