Boarding
Dog boarding for your furry friend in Milford
Are you getting ready to head out of town on a business trip? Is it time for you and your family to take a long-awaited vacation? You may be worried about what to do with your beloved dog or cat while you're gone. Fortunately, Black Birch Farm, LLC is here to provide you with a welcoming and safe place for your furry friends to stay.
A home away from home
Our dog kennels are comfortable, and because we know that cats need a little privacy that's just what we provide. Of course, every animal needs to stay active so we make sure there's plenty of time for walks and playtime. And we have comfortable spaces where your pets can relax — we even have TVs!
If your dog or cat has any special needs, just let us know. We also make sure to adhere to your instructions for feeding (we ask that you bring your dog or cat's favorite foods for them to eat while you're away) and medications.
Hours for boarding
We ask that your dog or cat checks in for their visit anytime after 1 p.m. If your schedules require that you check in before noon, we will charge an additional half-day fee for the first night.
When you're back from your trip, please pick up your beloved companion before 11:30am. If you arrive in the afternoon, we ask that you pay an additional half-day fee. And if you arrive after 5 pm., another full day's fee will be charged.
Other important information
For the safety of our furry guests and our staff, we require proof of shots for rabies, distemper, kennel cough and canine influenza.
Please be aware that kennel cough shots have to be current or have been given at least two weeks prior to boarding.

"Let me preface this by saying that I am an admittedly difficult person to please.
Our dogs just returned home from a week long visit at Black Birch while my wife and I took a cruise. Upon pickup they were clean and great smelling, healthy, well fed, and happy. Our dogs are large, rambunctious homebodies and we had never left them in a kennel for more than a night so my wife and I were a bit anxious to leave them. After seeing how well cared for our pups were during this trip, we will travel worry free in the future.
Not only were the dogs clean and well cared for, but the customer service was great. The staff was able to collect my payment information over the phone since my mother-in-law was picking the dogs up and I didn't want her to get stuck with the bill at the end. The staff was reassuring, flexible and helpful with her when she called to check on the dogs for us and arrange a pickup time. George and his staff have been very pleasant to interact with at every level.
We also paid what I would consider a quite reasonable price for the length of time, size of dogs, and quality of service that they received. We will continue to use Black Birch for as long as we live in the area.
One piece of advice, though -- call for information and reservations. For whatever reason, they are not so responsive to email but are always available and helpful on the phone."
