The Ultimate Option for Elite Pets

Pet boarding has evolved a great deal since the days of concrete kennels and a bowl of dry kibble. However, even luxury doggy daycare resorts and visiting pet sitters cannot provide what Cageless Boarding now offers. Pet hosts with a passion for animals open their homes to pets needing care and comfort while their family is away.
With a Cageless Boarding host, pampered animals may find themselves enjoying a jog on the beach, a game of fetch in the backyard, or snuggling on the sofa to a movie.
Monika Stefaniak, professional pet sitter and dog walker in East Hollywood, Florida as well as founder of Cageless Boarding, says that her guests make themselves at home with free run of her pet-proofed home.
This convenient setting allows Monika to accommodate each individual animal’s personal play, potty, and feeding habits, and virtually eliminates the pet’s risk of catching some kennel illness. At night, visiting pets can be seen snoozing in the bed with her, if that’s something the owner allows.
Cageless Boarding guests are an elite group of pets who are well groomed, up to date on vaccinations and flea control, and without excessive barking or chewing tendencies. Although hosts take in only one to three guests at a time, pets must know how to mind their manners with other animals.
Those who rely on friends and neighbors to look in on their pets while they’re away may consider that a Cageless Boarding host is a trained professional who is bonded, insured, licensed, and CPR certified, with experience in dog behavior and training, and pet first-aid. Should an emergency arise, your host is well equipped to handle it. And when they go out of town, they won’t ask you to watch their pets!
Locating a Cageless Boarding host is easy. Simply go to cagelessboarding.com and choose by location. Contact the host directly by email or fill out an online request and your family will be matched with a convenient pet host.
Of course, Cageless Boarding is always looking for new hosts in new areas to join the team. These people must love animals, possess knowledge of animal care, be self-motivated with good organizational skills, spend a lot of time at home, commit to providing quality, ethical pet care, and not have small children or aggressive pets of their own.
The Cageless Boarding concept is definitely catching on! Because of the home setting and the limited number of guests kept at one time, pets enjoy personalized care and more loving attention than with traditional pet sitting. For pet owners who won't settle for anything less than the best for their furred family member, Cageless Boarding is the ultimate option, whether they’re away on business or sipping Beachcombers under a whispering palm at a seaside resort. Perhaps the website’s mascot doggy says it best, “Because we’re not prisoners!”
