Animal Friends Pet Care understands that Golden Retriever boarding isn't one-size-fits-all. With a friendly, reliable, and devoted temperament and high — need multiple exercise sessions daily exercise needs, Golden Retrievers require boarding staff who know the breed. Our team has years of experience caring for Golden Retrievers and tailors every stay to their specific needs.
Separation anxiety & settling in: Goldens are generally easy boarders; their friendly nature and adaptability make them ideal guests. We send photo and video updates so you can see them comfortable and relaxed throughout their stay.
Exercise & socialization: Excellent in play groups; love other dogs and people equally. Our facility features a commercial-grade agility park and supervised outdoor play areas. Golden Retrievers get structured exercise — not just potty breaks — customized to their energy level.
Feeding & health: Hearty appetites; watch portions as Goldens will overeat if allowed. 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.
Golden Retriever 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 Golden Retriever anytime, from anywhere.
