Now Boarding: Now Open, Now Awesome

File under: ‘Why didn’t someone think of this sooner?’
Two previously unrelated things: 1) The MSP International Airport, and 2) A brand-new, state-of-the-art doggie daycare and overnight pet boarding facility. At last, the twain shall meet!
In a move so natural it was almost inevitable, some very smart people created Now Boarding, the second half of the above equation that’s right next to the MSP Airport’s parking lot and is so swanky, you’ll find yourself asking if they let people stay there as well.
The facility, which is affiliated with the Animal Humane Society, stands apart from other boarding operations for many reasons:
Now Boarding’s pet pool: Club Med for dogs
- There’s a pool. A pool, for Pete’s sake! Add an umbrella drink to the water bowl and your dog’s halfway to Aruba.
- Your pup can choose from any one of 4,000 square feet of irrigated, synthetic K9 grass upon which to do its business.
- They’re a Pethaven foster facility, so in addition to taking care of your lovely animals, they’re providing food, water and shelter to plenty of homeless animals in the area.
- The outdoor/indoor space can be rented out for events, Meet Up groups, or any other pet shenanigans you can cook up.
- You can park there, drop of Spot, and be shuttled to the airport in time to make your flight. The ultimate in handy-dandy!
