Boarding & Day Care With a Medical Team On-Site

We know leaving your pet is never easy, so we care for every guest like one of our own — whether they’re staying overnight or spending the day. Dogs are walked at least three times a day, all pets stay in a clean, climate-controlled space with fresh water at all times, and our staff provides plenty of love and attention throughout the stay.

On-Site Medical Team

The biggest advantage of staying with us: a veterinary team readily available should your pet need care during their visit.

Boarding & Day Care

Overnight boarding or supervised day care while you’re at work or away for a few hours, with the same attentive care either way.

Frequently Asked Questions

Planning to board your dog or cat with us? Here are answers to what Arlington pet owners ask us most about boarding at Cherrydale.

What does my pet need in order to board?

To keep every boarder safe, your pet must be current on all vaccinations and free of fleas and intestinal parasites. If vaccines or parasite testing aren't up to date, we can perform them, and if fleas are found, we'll treat them to keep our kennels flea-free for all our guests.

What if my pet needs medication or a special diet?

Just bring your pet's medications along with clear instructions at drop-off, and our team will administer them. We provide food, water, and bedding during the stay, but if your pet has dietary restrictions, we ask that you bring their own food to keep their routine consistent.

How far in advance should I book boarding?

We recommend reserving early — we fill up quickly, especially around holidays, so please call at least four to six weeks ahead. Please also allow about 15 minutes for check-in, and note that a separate check-in form is required for each pet boarding with us.

Comfortable Accommodations for Dogs & Cats

We’ve designed our boarding spaces with comfort in mind. Dogs enjoy roomy runs and appropriately sized kennels with cozy blankets and mats, plus a landscaped play area to stretch their legs with our kennel staff. Cats have their own quiet room with spacious, furnished condos and a cat tree for supervised play. Both spaces use pheromone diffusers and soft music for a calm, pleasant stay.

Spa Add-Ons & Getting Ready

Take care of grooming and paperwork so your pet’s stay is smooth from the start.

A stay with us is a convenient time to check off routine care. While we’re not a full grooming facility, we offer add-on spa services — medicated baths, nail trims, ear cleaning, and anal gland expression — and can handle a physical exam, fecal testing, or vaccine and bloodwork updates during the visit. Completing your paperwork and reserving early makes drop-off easy.
