Typically we take her with us, but we have left her at a local vet clinic that has boarding. However, our problem has been that we have had about an hour window of opportunity to pick her up if we come home on the weekend. Otherwise we have to leave her another night and pick her up the next day. I think we will try Petsmart next time, if we really need to leave her. We took her to a place in Minneapolis last year when we went to my daughter's wedding there, but I really don't think it was a place that Sophie liked.
