Medical Boarding · Chantilly, VA

Medical Boarding in Chantilly, VA — For Pets With Ongoing Care Needs.

Some pets need more than food, water, and a comfortable space while you're away. They need medication administered precisely, wounds monitored, post-surgical recovery managed, or chronic conditions overseen by someone who actually knows what they're looking at. At Nova Pets Health Center, Dr. Masood and his team provide medical boarding for pets with ongoing health needs — under veterinary supervision, in the same facility where they receive their care.

What we offer

Medication, monitoring, and veterinary support
built into the stay.

Pets with active medical needs may require more than routine boarding. Complex medication schedules, wound care, post-operative monitoring, and chronic-condition support call for a coordinated care plan and a veterinary team that can assess concerns when needed.

At Nova Pets, medical boarding happens inside a veterinary practice. Our boarding and veterinary teams coordinate the care plan, monitor for changes, and escalate concerns for veterinary assessment when needed.

Intake exam required at drop-off
Medical boarding stays begin with an intake assessment through Nova Pets Health Center. This helps establish your pet's current condition, confirms the care plan, and makes sure the team understands the medical and medication instructions before the stay begins.
Post-surgical recovery
Pets recovering from surgery who need a controlled environment, wound monitoring, pain management, and suture care. For procedures performed at Nova Pets, the boarding and veterinary teams can coordinate postoperative instructions, monitoring, and follow-up.
Chronic condition management
Diabetic pets requiring insulin on a precise schedule, kidney disease, hyperthyroidism, seizure disorders, heart conditions — pets whose daily management requires someone who knows what a change in status looks like.
Complex medication protocols
Multiple medications, timed dosing, medications requiring monitoring for side effects, or protocols where precision matters. We handle these the way we handle our clinical patients.
Pets needing closer monitoring
Elderly, fragile, or recently ill pets who need a closer eye than standard boarding provides — even without a specific active diagnosis.

Veterinary oversight
Medical boarding integrated with our veterinary practice.
Our team follows the documented care plan, monitors your pet, and coordinates veterinary assessment when a change in condition needs medical attention.

What to expect

A stay built around your pet's
specific medical needs.

Medical boarding at Nova Pets isn't a fixed program. Every pet has different needs and we build their stay around what they actually require.

1
Call us first
Tell us about your pet's condition, their medication schedule, what they've been through, and what you need from us. We'll tell you honestly whether we're the right fit and what to expect. For complex or unusual cases, we'll let you know upfront if the level of care needed is beyond what we can safely provide.
2
Care plan review
Before your pet arrives, we review their records, medications, and any notes from their treating veterinarian. If they're already our patients, we can review their Nova Pets record. If they're coming from another practice, bring all relevant records and medication instructions.
3
Intake exam at drop-off
The intake assessment establishes a baseline, confirms the care plan, and checks for changes that could affect boarding. We review the instructions with you so the team has a clear plan.
4
Daily monitoring
Our team checks in on medical boarders more frequently than standard boarding guests. Changes in condition are documented and escalated for veterinary assessment when clinically indicated.
5
Communication throughout
If anything changes or concerns arise, we contact you. We don't wait until pickup to mention something we noticed on day two.

Pricing

Priced based on what your
pet actually needs.

Medical boarding is priced higher than standard boarding — because the level of care, attention, and clinical oversight is higher. The specific cost depends on your pet's condition, the complexity of their care requirements, and the length of their stay.

For most medical boarding cases, we'll give you a clear estimate when you call. For more complex situations, pricing is determined on a case-by-case basis after we've reviewed your pet's needs. We'll always be upfront about cost before your pet arrives.

Transparency
We'll always tell you if you need a higher level of care.
Medical boarding at Nova Pets is appropriate for a wide range of pets with ongoing medical needs. It is not a substitute for 24-hour intensive care, ICU-level monitoring, or emergency intervention.
If your pet's condition requires around-the-clock monitoring, IV fluid administration, oxygen therapy, or a level of intervention beyond what a daytime veterinary team can safely provide — we will tell you that clearly and help you find the right facility.
We'd rather be honest about our limits than have a pet in our care who needs more than we can give.

Post-surgical boarding

Pets recovering from CCL surgery or other procedures performed at our practice may be appropriate medical boarding candidates when their care needs fit what our team can safely provide. Learn about CCL surgery at Nova Pets →
