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.
Unique to Us: 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. We are the only facility in Bay County that provides free 24/7 live HD camera access to boarding clients. 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.
