Exotic Lodging
From rodents to reptiles, we’re pleased to care for your caged pets and exotic animal friends, including chinchillas, ferrets, guinea pigs, rabbits, mice, rats, gerbils, hedgehogs, sugar gliders, bearded dragons, turtles, tortoises, frogs, snakes, and some birds. All exotic pets need to come equipped with the following (as necessary): safe enclosure, lighting and heating, food in sealed containers, water bottles, misters, medications and any special care instructions. (Only frozen prey for snakes, please!)
LOVE FROM PAW-RENTS
“Shady Spring Pet Retreat is fantastic in every way!"
"We boarded our 7-month-old goldendoodle, Henry, while out of the country for 16 days. Shady Spring was recommended by our vet, Palisades Vet Clinic, so I knew it would be a good experience. Bonus: they picked up and dropped Henry off at the vet (for a fee), which made leaving and returning from vacation that much easier.”
