About the lodge
Boarding and daycare for dogs and cats, four miles from LaGuardia.
Woodside Pet Lodge is a boarding and daycare building on 61st Street in Woodside, Queens, with forty-two suites across four classes for dogs, a separate room of condos for cats, and two daycare groups that never share a yard.
It is four miles from LaGuardia, about fourteen minutes by car, which is most of the reason a lot of stays start before six in the morning and most of the argument for boarding here rather than somewhere further from the airport.
The building takes dogs and cats, every breed, subject to the temperament assessment every dog does before it joins a group. It does not take rabbits, birds or reptiles, and says so plainly rather than improvising with an animal it is not set up for.
The overnight keeper. Somebody sleeps in the building every night. Not a camera, not an alarm company, not somebody on call twenty minutes away — a member of staff, in a room off the corridor, who does a round at eleven, at two and at five. It is the most expensive line on this business's payroll and it is the only honest answer to the question people actually mean when they ask what happens at night.
This site holds no permit number and claims no licence, certification or membership for the building or its staff. What the City actually requires of a boarding kennel, and what this facility adds on top of that, is set out plainly on its own page rather than folded into a badge in a footer.
Are those dates free?
The calendar shows every night, for every suite class, with how many are left and what that night costs. Nothing is paid on this website: you pay when you collect.
