For our canine boarders, we offer air-conditioned indoor runs filled with natural light from a number of skylights. The dogs enjoy fresh air in our outdoor kennels and are exercised on a daily walk. Each pet is provided with a blanket and a cot to create the most comfortable environment away from home.
For our feline boarders, a luxury cat townhouse awaits each pet, providing the finest accommodations available. Each unit consists of five levels for your cat’s climbing pleasure, a ventilated lower level with a litter pan, and a comfortable four-post bed.
As pet owners ourselves, we know and understand the importance of our special family members. Let our caring team provide the comfort, security, and fun for your pet, and provide you with peace of mind.
Gardner Animal Care Center’s Boarding Facility welcomes dogs and cats from throughout central Massachusetts and serves the areas of Gardner, Fitchburg, Worcester, Leominster, Athol, and Rindge and Keene, NH.

We recommend that pets are on a form of flea and tick control as well as heartworm preventative. Pets with fleas/ticks will be given a mandatory treatment of Frontline (cost based on dose per weight).
We also require proof of a negative fecal sample within the past year of the date of the boarding for our feline patients. For canine boarders, the negative fecal sample needs to be within the last six months of the time of boarding or daycare.
