Dog Daycare in Orlando — Small Playgroups, Minutes from Universal Studios and Epic Universe
We believe dog care should feel like family care. Every part of our service is built around one question: “What would I need to know to feel completely relaxed while my dog is here?” With over 25 years in rescue and dog care, we care for families — some members just happen to have fur.
A True Family-Style Experience
Your dog is never a kennel number here: loving laps and gentle hands, comfortable chairs, recliners, and beds, and a calm home-style environment instead of constant barking. While you’re with your human family, we become your dog’s — and you get photos and videos throughout the day so you can see them relaxed, playing, and happy.
Perfectly Located for Work, Travel & Play
We’re 1.8 miles from Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, Volcano Bay, and the staff entrance to Epic Universe. Working, traveling, or doing the parks (Halloween Horror Nights included), your dog is minutes away having their own vacation.

Your Surrogate: Hugs and Kisses Expert
Grammy is one of the caring humans behind the happy pups at UDCO.
Grammy has a special way with dogs and is often found surrounded by the Little Friend Pack. Whether it’s giving belly rubs, helping shy pups feel comfortable, or making sure everyone gets their share of attention, she helps create a calm and welcoming environment for the dogs in our care.
The pups clearly enjoy spending time with her, and she enjoys every moment with them.

The Little Friend Pack: Shenanigans Fellowship
The Little Friend Pack is our small-dog play group, where little pups spend their day together enjoying structured play and social time.
