Dog Boarding

Best Dog Boarding in St. Louis

When you leave your furry loved one at Silver Maple Pet Center's dog boarding hotel, you can have peace of mind knowing that your pet will be given the highest level of comfort and care. We don’t just look after dogs—we pamper them! This is the goal of each of our dog boarding team members. We strive to offer both you and your dog personalized service, making sure to care for your four-legged friend just as you would!

At our overnight dog boarding hotel, each dog gets a private room that is connected to an outdoor private run (most of them being up to 50 ft. long). We keep all of our indoor rooms climate-controlled all year round, ensuring maximum comfort no matter the season.

For those pets who enjoy being pampered, our luxury Villas are your best dog boarding option. The Villas offer a more spacious and quiet environment, perfect for dogs that are new to boarding or that need that extra level of comfort.

Featured testimonial

Silver Maple Pet Center is the only place that I will consider for both grooming and boarding my dogs. I have been using their services since 2009 and currently have two Australian Shepherds and one Yellow Labrador. The thing I love most is that the entire staff genuinely care for and about not only my dogs, but I witness how much they love on everyone’s dogs and cats. My dogs are happy when I show up with them and happy when I pick them up which gives me complete peace of mind. The skill level of the groomer’s is top notch. I completely recommend Silver Maple Pet Center!!

Dog Boarding FAQs

There are many types of dog boarding options, but typically, dog boarding is a service where you can leave your dog in the care of a boarding facility or home while you are away. These facilities provide a safe and secure environment for your pet, including feeding, walking, and sometimes grooming and training services.

Look for a facility with good reviews, proper licensing, and clean, secure, and spacious accommodations. It's also important to consider the staff's experience, the ratio of staff to dogs, and whether the facility can cater to your dog's specific needs and temperament. Check out our more detailed guide on selecting a boarding facility.

We always recommend bringing your own dog food to avoid digestive issues and any medication they need. To make their stay more like home, you can also bring their favorite toy or bedding. Check out our more detailed list to come prepared for dog boarding.

We require proof of current vaccinations, including: Rabies, Distemper, Bordetella, and the H3N2 Canine Influenza vaccine. Learn more about our vaccination requirements

You can prepare your dog for boarding by ensuring they are up to date with vaccinations, and making sure they are socialized before their first visit. We recommend stopping in for a day of dog daycare to familiarize your dog with our facilities and see how they do.

This is very much up to you and your dog. Some dogs and their families would prefer a more relaxed experience and their dog will spend more time in their room and private outdoor run. For dogs and families that prefer a more social experience, our boarding dogs have the option of joining group play and making new friends. 

Of course, we love when clients call and check in. We understand it can be hard leaving a loved one behind so we welcome any calls or emails to check in.

We will always reach out if a dog gets sick or injured. If There is an emergency and we can't get ahold of you, we will contact your veterinarian on file and make a decision based on their level of concern. We will always put the health of your pet first.

We know that each pet is different and each has different needs. Our pricing is a la carte and completely customizable. You select your accommodation, level of activity, and feeding and medication schedule.

Boarding for the first time can be stressful for any pet. That's why we put together a guide for boarding a dog with separation anxiety. To summarize, the best thing you can do is expose your dog through dog daycare before doing overnight boarding. This will give you an idea of how well they will do without you. 

If a dog comes in and is really missing their family, we do our best to give them as much attention as possible. Our staff keeps a close eye on each dog and loves to snuggle and hang out with dogs who need it the most.
