Memorial Day Getaway — Why Boarding Your Dog at Planet Pooch Is the Best Choice

Memorial Day Weekend kicks off the season, and Long Island empties out for the Hamptons, the North Fork, and points beyond. If your dog isn't coming along, you want them somewhere they'll genuinely enjoy — not just somewhere they'll be kept. Here's why families across Nassau County choose us for the long weekend.

Suites for every dog

Our Franklin Square resort offers Express, Classic, XL, and Luxury suites — so whether you've got a tiny terrier or a Great Dane, there's a comfortable space waiting. Larger suites also work well for families boarding more than one dog together.

Real structure, real attention

  • Daily play and enrichment, not just kennel time
  • Hand-drying after baths and water play — never crated to dry
  • Trained handlers who learn your dog's quirks
  • Photo and text updates so you can relax on the road

Book before the rush

Memorial Day is the first big test of summer boarding capacity. By early May our calendar is filling fast, and the most-requested suite types go first. The earlier you reserve, the more choice you have.

Make it count

Add a bath or full groom to the end of the stay so your dog comes home fresh, and consider an enrichment add-on if your pup needs more than play to feel settled. We'll build a plan that fits your dog and your weekend.
