Looking to board your dog so you can travel for the holidays?

Holiday travel is back in full swing, and that means thousands of Bangor-area families are trying to figure out the safest, least-stressful option for their dogs while they’re away.

At Woof LLC we’ve been providing in-home boarding and pet care for Bangor dogs since we opened so, we put together this straightforward guide to help you make the best decision for your pup this Thanksgiving and Christmas season.

### Why In-Home Boarding Is Usually the Better Choice for Bangor Dogs Traditional kennels still have their place, but most dogs do much better in a real home environment – especially during the chaos of the holidays.

With Woof LLC your dog gets:

- Daily play sessions with friendly, temperament-matched dogs

- Sleeps comfortably in our recently renovated, climate-controlled home on real beds, couches, and blankets (no overnight crating unless requested) - 24/7 care from CPR & pet first-aid certified sitters who live on-site and truly love what they do - The same routine they have at home – same feeding times, same play schedule, same bedtime

Your dog doesn’t get “boarded” — they get a vacation with a second family.

The Must-Have Holiday Boarding Checklist Before you hand over the leash, make sure any facility or sitter meets these non-negotiables:

□ Current vaccinations (rabies, DHPP, Bordetella – updated within the last 6–12 months) □ Proof of flea/tick prevention □ Liability insurance & bonding □ CPR & pet first-aid certification for all staff □ Daily photo/text updates □ A completed meet-and-greet (so your dog and the sitter already know each other) □ Clear emergency vet protocol and signed medical release □ Enough food & medication for the entire stay plus a couple extra days (travel delays happen in Maine winters)

Questions Every Bangor Pet Parent Should Ask

1. Where exactly will my dog sleep at night?

2. How many dogs will be in the home at once?

3. Are the sitters background-checked and insured?

4. What happens if my dog gets sick or injured?

5. Can I see recent photos or videos of dogs currently staying with you?

If they can’t answer these confidently, keep looking.
