Our Promise to You
Archer Road Pet Resort is locally owned and lovingly operated by residents of Haile Plantation. The Erickson’s and the Berdanier’s, who are five people with warm hearts for cold noses! We treat your pets like family and do everything we can to ensure they want to come back time and time again. Our knowledgeable and caring staff go above and beyond to ensure that your pet’s stay is both safe and enjoyable.
Do you have boarding restrictions?
Our team is able to handle all pets regardless of age, condition or temperament provided they are not overly aggressive to people or other dogs or showing signs of contagious illness. Because we do not do group playtimes, we are able to provide aggressive pets a fun, safe place away from other pets.
Can I board my pets together?
Pets from the same family can board together provided space is available. We offer a discount of $3 off a second pet and an additional $1 off each additional pet if the pets share lodging.
Can I bring a bed or toy for my pet?
Yes, we encourage you to bring a bed, blanket and/or toy to provide some familiarity for your pet during their stay. Please label these items with your pet’s name. We suggest not bringing anything you would mind getting ruined as a pet in a new environment may exhibit behaviors that are unusual for them, such as chewing or having accidents inside. However, we will do our best to return items in original condition. If a pet has a history of bed chewing or accidents, we will provide them one of our more durable beds and save theirs for home.
Do I need to bring my own pet food?
It is recommended that you bring your pet’s own food to prevent upset tummies, but we can also feed dogs our facility food (PurinaOne Smart Blend lamb & rice dry and Pedigree wet) for $1.50 a day and cats for $1 a day (Meow Mix dry and Friskies wet).
Do you administer medication?
Yes! We can administer any type of medication. We charge $2 per administration of insulin or respiratory inhaler.
What vaccines do you require for boarding?
For dogs, we require proof of up-to-date Bordetella, distemper & parvo (DHPP) and rabies vaccines from a certified veterinarian. Cats must have up-to-date distemper (FVRCP) and rabies vaccines.
