When you travel, your pet deserves more than a concrete kennel. Animal Friends Pet Care offers climate-controlled pet boarding suites with 24/7 live camera access, so pet parents in Vernon can watch their dog or cat from anywhere in the world throughout the entire stay.
Every boarding suite is private, climate-controlled, and cleaned multiple times per day. Dogs get multiple outdoor play breaks, socialization with compatible playmates (by request), and their normal feeding schedule and medications exactly as you specify at check-in. We also send photo and video updates during the stay.
Hurricane-hardened facility: After Hurricane Michael devastated Bay County in 2018, we invested over $120,000 in disaster preparedness — a $106,000 solar power system with three battery banks (48 hours of full off-grid operation, every suite + camera + A/C), plus a private deep well with water purification. We are the only Panama City boarding facility ready to keep your pet safe through a multi-week outage. Vernon families trust us with their pets because we have the infrastructure to deliver on that promise.
Clients from Vernon tell us the drive is worth it: drop-off takes minutes, and the live cameras mean you can check on your pet from anywhere the whole stay.
We maintain strict vaccination requirements (rabies, distemper, bordetella) and perform a health check at every check-in. Our team is on-site overnight with emergency vet contacts in case of any medical issue.
