Dog, Cat, & Animal Boarding Queenstown Maryland
Proudly built the way nature intended a kennel to be.
General Information
Boarding can be an exciting and pleasant experience for your pet. It can also be stressful. To eliminate as much of this stress as possible, we recommend that you make your check-in as short as possible. If you are stressed, your pet will sense that and reflect your demeanor.
At check-in, you will be asked to complete our check-in form. This form contains any instructions required to make your pet’s stay a happy experience, as well as approval for us to post your pet’s picture on social media. . You can download this form from our Downloads Page and fill it out in advance, making the process quicker for you and easier for your pet when you arrive.
You are welcome to bring a favorite toy(s) for your pets. Please note that Wye River Kennel accepts no responsibility for the loss or destruction of toys. The toy must be safe and large enough for you pet.
The care and health of your pet is paramount to Wye River Kennel. Any pet exhibiting signs of illness, prior to or upon check in, will need to have their stay rescheduled. Respiratory symptoms, diarrhea, vomiting, lethargy are all symptoms of illness that we look for. If your pet becomes ill during their stay we will notify you and separate your pet from others to minimize cross-contamination.
The Return Home
Expect your pet to take a day or two to get back to normal. It is not unusual for your pet’s bathroom, eating and drinking habits, and demeanor to be a little off the mark.
Also, don’t be surprised if your pet is tired when he or she gets home. As play time is encouraged, most pets are very active here at Wye River Kennel.
