Temporary Pet Boarding

Need temporary boarding for your pet?  Most boarding companies require proof of vaccination.  Contact your veterinarian for these documents.  Ventura County Animal Services does not offer boarding at either of our shelters in Camarillo or Simi Valley and is not responsible for the daily operation of boarding facilities within our county.  We suggest researching these facilities to ensure the right fit your you and your pet.
