Kennel/Boarding locally?

[Mom2Joce]

We just might have to bring our little Chihuahua with us. I don't have a pet sitter available. Is there a Kennel locally that someone has used, that has worked out for you?

Depending on where you are staying Disneyland actually has a dog kennel. It is open during park hours and is first come first serve. You have to come back at regular intervals to feed and walk your pup but is a good option if you are staying at a pet friendly hotel.

Anchor Pet Hospital is on Lincoln (by the 5 fwy), about 5-10 minutes north of the parks. It is next to a Starbucks and a Subway. They do boarding. I haven't used them yet, but the reviews on Yelp are quite positive.

If you decide to use a local vet for boarding, make sure you call them and confirm everything your pet will need to stay there, then talk to your vet about the schedule to get those immunizations. We're doing the same thing you're considering, only we're boarding our dogs in Vegas while we go to DLR. I talked to the vet out there, when we made the boarding reservation. Then talked to our vet about those immunizations. They require shots out there that are not required where we live. One in particular (Canine Influenza) requires a series of 2 shots to be considered current. I'm glad I spoke to everyone early because I had planned on just doing our dog's yearly shots right before we leave (because that's when they happen to be due). Considering I didn't want to give them something new and just leave and considering you need two shots a month apart for the flu shot, I was glad I got the ball rolling early, so we could get everything in place. I'd hate to drive across the country only to find out we couldn't board on dogs on a technicality.

There is also the option of dogvacay. It's a site where you can find local pet sitters. There are reviews of the pet sitters, and you can contact them and get to know them a bit before you use them. I haven't personally used them, but have friends that have had positive experiences.
