Holiday Boarding Auburn AL | Christmas & Holiday Pet Care
At Kiesel Bark Pet Resort, we believe quality pet care should be affordable for Auburn families. No hidden fees, no surprises—just honest pricing for exceptional service.
As Auburn AL’s trusted holiday boarding specialist, I’ve provided peace of mind for countless families during their most cherished holiday celebrations since 2014. Just last Christmas, a local Auburn family was able to enjoy their first holiday visit with new grandchildren in another state, knowing their two rescue dogs were receiving loving care and attention in our climate-controlled facility. When they returned after New Year’s, their pets were happy, healthy, and had been spoiled with extra attention during the holiday season.
Located directly across from Kiesel Park on Chadwick Lane, our holiday boarding services have become essential for Auburn and Lee County families who want to travel during Christmas, Thanksgiving, New Year’s, and other special occasions without worrying about their beloved pets. I understand that holidays are meant for family time, and sometimes that means making difficult decisions about pet care during travel.
The biggest challenge Auburn families face during holidays is finding reliable, loving pet care when everyone wants to travel at the same time. Holiday periods book up quickly, especially around Auburn University game day weekends, Christmas break, and major family gathering times. Many pet owners feel guilty about leaving their furry family members during holidays, but our experienced staff ensures every pet receives extra love and attention during these special times.
Whether you’re visiting family for Christmas, taking a Thanksgiving trip, or planning New Year’s travel, our Auburn AL holiday boarding provides the reliable, professional care that lets you enjoy your holidays with complete peace of mind.
Professional Holiday Boarding Services Auburn AL
Our holiday boarding services are specifically designed for the busy travel seasons when Auburn families need reliable pet care most. Each holiday guest receives individualized attention, comfortable accommodations in our large kennels, and plenty of exercise and socialization to keep them happy while families celebrate elsewhere.
Auburn’s holiday season brings unique challenges, from Christmas travel to Auburn University’s bowl game celebrations and family gatherings throughout Lee County. Our experienced staff understands that holidays can be stressful for pets missing their families, so we provide extra attention, longer play sessions, and special holiday treats to keep spirits high.
We strongly recommend booking holiday boarding as early as possible, especially for peak times like Christmas week, Thanksgiving weekend, and Auburn University game day holidays. These periods fill up quickly as Auburn families make their travel plans.
Holiday Boarding for Auburn University Families
Auburn University’s academic calendar creates unique holiday boarding needs, from Thanksgiving break to Christmas vacation and spring break travel. Faculty families often travel during university breaks, while student families need care during game day weekends and holiday visits home.
Our holiday boarding accommodates the busy Auburn University schedule, understanding that families plan travel around academic calendars and football seasons. We’ve provided holiday care for pets belonging to professors on sabbatical visits, students going home for holidays, and staff traveling during university break periods.
Game day weekends often coincide with holiday periods, creating extra demand for Auburn area boarding services. Our location across from Kiesel Park makes us convenient for families attending Auburn games before holiday travel.

Holiday boarding guests receive enhanced services including extra playtime, special holiday treats (when appropriate for their diet), and additional attention from our caring staff who understand that holidays can be lonely times for pets missing their families.
Our climate-controlled facility ensures comfort during Alabama’s variable holiday weather, from chilly Christmas weeks to warm Thanksgiving periods. We maintain consistent routines and provide familiar comforts that help pets feel secure during family separations.
