Why Boarding with a DOTR Professional Is Different from Traditional Boarding Facilities
Many boarding facilities limit what pet parents can see behind the scenes, where dogs actually sleep, eat, and play. Dogs On The Run offers something completely different: personalized, home-based care focused on comfort, trust, and transparency. Your dog can stay in their own home or with a carefully matched professional, enjoying familiar routines, quiet rest, and one-on-one attention. No kennels. No noise. No uncertainty. Just peace of mind and care you can truly feel good about.

Why Every Pet Parent & Professional Needs a Disaster Plan
When disaster strikes, having a properly sized crate or carrier for your pet isn’t optional—it’s essential. Every pet should have their own carrier that’s large enough to stand, turn around, and lie down comfortably.
In an emergency, a crate isn’t just a transportation tool—it’s your pet’s safe space. It keeps them secure during evacuation, allows access to pet-friendly shelters or hotels, and prevents them from getting lost in the chaos.
Take time now to get your pet comfortable with their carrier. Practice loading them inside with treats and praise so they’re less stressed if you ever need to use it under pressure.
✅ Pro tip for pet parents and professionals: Label each crate with the pet’s name and your contact information in case you get separated.
