Family-owned, not corporate
We're a Panama City family business — not a national chain franchise. The same staff have been here for years. They know our regular boarders by name and remember which ones need a peanut butter Kong at bedtime.
Why families trust us
Same-day photo updates if you want them. Bordetella + DHPP + Rabies requirement we never skip. One-at-a-time potty breaks (no chaotic group yards). Climate-controlled 70°F facility. Filtered water always available. Cameras in every suite.
Real customer stories
Our reviews tell the story better than we can. "I came back from a 9-day cruise and Buddy was happier than when I dropped him off." "Watched her on camera every night — it was the only way I could relax." "Animal Friends has been our boarding home for 5 years and our pups RUN inside when we pull up."
