Need to board your dog today? Call (850) 257-5776 right now to check same-day availability. Animal Friends Pet Care accepts same-day reservations based on current capacity. The fastest way to know if we can help you is to call — our team can confirm in minutes.
Same-day boarding requests happen for all kinds of reasons: a sudden work trip, a family emergency, a dog that can't go to a place you're visiting today, or a pet-unfriendly hotel situation you just discovered. We've been handling these situations for over a decade and we take them seriously.
Same-Day Drop-Off — What to Expect
Same-day drop-offs move quickly. Here's what you'll need to have ready:
- Vaccine records — current Rabies and Bordetella. Email or text a digital copy is fine.
- Your dog's food — even a partial amount helps prevent digestive upset from a sudden diet change.
- Medication — any pills, eye drops, topicals, or supplements your dog is on.
- Emergency contact info — your cell number and a local backup if you'll be unreachable.
Drop-off takes 10-15 minutes. We'll assign a suite, do a quick health intake, confirm feeding instructions, and get your dog settled. By the time you're back in the car, they'll already be getting acquainted with their private space.
Same-Day Camera Access
Within hours of drop-off, you can pull up a live feed of your dog's kennel area from your phone. Boarding clients in our camera suites get free 24/7 live HD camera access. On a same-day boarding situation, this is especially valuable — you can check in on your dog and see that they're calm and comfortable while you handle whatever brought you here.
