Cat & Dog Boarding in St. John: A Mini Vacation for Your Companion
Our goal at Coyne Veterinary Center in St. John is to reinvent cat and dog boarding from a mere convenience to an enjoyable, relaxing time for your canine and feline family members. To get on booking your pet’s reservation, follow these 3 easy steps!
Step 1
- Read on to learn about the amenities our facility offers, along with our boarding packages and other additions to upgrade your pet’s boarding time from good to great!
Step 2
- See what items you’re allowed to bring from home to make your pet’s stay even better.
Step 3
- Check to ensure that your pet is current with their vaccinations and parasite preventive so that they and our other guests remain safe and healthy.
All boarding reservations require a $30 deposit and are refundable if the appointment is canceled before 7 business days of the reservation start date. This deposit will be applied towards the total of their stay. If your pet is boarding over a holiday, where our clinic is closed to the public, there is a flat, one-time fee of $10 for that day.
Please note that coughing dogs will not be able to board until they are cleared as healthy by a veterinarian (excluding coughing caused by heart conditions).

ITEMS YOU MAY BRING
Does your pet need their own prescription diet food? You’re welcome to bring it from home so they can stay on their daily routine. When you’re packing up your pet’s food, make sure to measure out the right quantity and keep the food packed securely in a waterproof container. Include your full name and any feeding instructions you’d like our team to follow. This is also essential for medications, which should always be kept in their original containers and come with detailed instructions.
We do not accept toys or bedding from home. This is because some pets can become stressed while boarding (especially if they’re first-timers), and in this process they might destroy these items.
For Added Safety
Our cat and dog boarding facility is designed to provide the safest possible environment for guests. We have:
- A special camera system that gives us an opportunity to “check in” on pets (no webcam)
- A sophisticated AAON system that circulates clean air to every corner of the building
- High walls for added security when your pet goes outside to play
- An environment that is temperature-controlled for the comfort of our guests

- 6-month Bordetella

What You Can Expect Upon Arrival
If for any reason you are unable to update your pet’s vaccines prior to their boarding date, our team can vaccinate your pet when you drop them off. Also, we ask that you give us a few minutes to discuss any concerns, questions, and requests you may have. It’s important to us that you have peace of mind before you leave. Call us today at (219) 627-3264.
