Question 1

How does daycare or boarding with pickup work?

Accepted Answer

You book the daycare day or boarding stay with the facility and add its pickup service: a driver collects your pet from your home at an agreed time or window, takes them to the facility, and brings them back home afterwards. Every provider on this page publishes pickup or drop-off on its own website — open the profile for exactly what that facility offers (some price it per trip, some by distance, and some ask for advance notice), then confirm your address and the pickup window when you book.

Question 2

What is the difference between pet daycare and boarding?

Accepted Answer

Daycare is daytime only: your pet spends the day playing and socializing at the facility and comes home the same evening. Boarding is overnight — your pet sleeps at the facility (or, for one provider listed here, in a sitter's home) for one or more nights while you travel. Many facilities offer both, and the pickup services on this page serve daycare guests, boarding guests, or both — each profile says which.

Question 3

How much does pet daycare and boarding with pickup cost in South Florida?

Accepted Answer

Among the providers listed here, published starting prices begin around $40 (checked November 2026). That is a starting price, not a quote — the final price depends on daycare vs. overnight boarding, the length of the stay, your pet's size, and the pickup itself — facilities that publish transport pricing charge per trip or by distance, on top of the daycare or boarding rate. Always confirm the current price and exactly what it includes with the provider before you book.

Question 4

What should I ask before booking a daycare or boarding facility?

Accepted Answer

Ask about vaccination requirements (most facilities require current rabies and distemper, and many require Bordetella), whether a trial or temperament day is needed before a first stay, who is on site overnight for boarding, and what to send with your pet (food, medication, a familiar blanket). For the pickup itself, ask about the pickup window, who the driver is, and how you'll be notified when your pet is collected and returned.

Question 5

Which areas do these daycare and boarding providers cover?

Accepted Answer

Every provider listed on this page publishes its own service area, and we show exactly the cities they name — nothing broader. Open a profile to see the cities that provider confirms, then confirm your exact address when you book: some providers add or skip streets at the edges of their published area.

Question 6

How do I book daycare or boarding with pickup?

Accepted Answer

You book and pay the provider directly — SFL Pet Visits is a directory, not the service provider. Use the call, website, or online booking buttons on a profile, or send a "Request availability" message that goes to that one provider only (we never blast a request to multiple businesses without telling you). Good local providers often book days to weeks ahead, so contact them early for holidays.
