Memorial Day starts the traditional summer vacation season, meaning if you have a pet, you may be boarding your dog or cat.

This week, we want to know which of these pet-boarding providers, listed in our free business directory, is your favorite and why. They are:

• Animal Medical Center
• Bartow & Acworth Animal Hospital
• Cartersville Animal Hospital
• Pet Vet Clinic
• Westside Animal Hospital

Cast a click for your favorite in the poll below; voting is open until 9 a.m. Friday.

We can't add any shops to this poll, but if your favorite is missing, tell us in the comments below so we'll know for next time.

The winner will be determined by Cartersville Patch based on poll results and reviews of the establishments in our business directory. Click on a spot listed above to give it a rating of one to five stars and to leave your review.

If we have a tie, we'll use positive comments as a tiebreaker, so let us know below why your choice is your favorite.

We'll announce the winner at noon Friday.

As you tell us about your favorite places for pet boarding, upload relevant videos and photos by clicking "Upload Photos and Videos."

You also can vote for boarders at our sister sites, such as Canton-Sixes Patch, Dallas-Hiram Patch and Acworth Patch.
