Before leaving your pet in someone elseās home, ask one simple question:
āCan I see your current North Carolina boarding kennel license?ā
Many pet owners donāt realize that in North Carolina, regularly boarding pets or offering dog daycare in a private home generally requires a boarding kennel license issued by the NC Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services.
That license isnāt just a piece of paper. Itās part of a system designed to help ensure facilities meet state standards for housing, sanitation, veterinary care, and oversight.
Choosing an unlicensed provider can come with risks that many people never consider, including questions about oversight, insurance coverage, liability, and what could happen if authorities investigate while your pet is in their care.
Professional pet sitting in your home is different from boarding pets in someone elseās home.
At Tailored Pet Services, we believe pet parents deserve to understand the difference so they can make informed decisions about their petsā care.
Your pets deserve more than assumptions. They deserve informed choices. š¾
