Why families near Epic Universe choose us
Late nights are normal here
Epic Universe’s nighttime shows and the resort’s late park days mean pickups after dark are routine for us, not an exception.
One trip, one team
The same team that answers your text is the team caring for your dog — you’re never handed off to a stranger at pickup.
Multi-day stays
Doing Epic one day and Islands of Adventure the next? Board overnight and we’ll handle the routine: meals at your dog’s usual times, potty breaks, quiet rest, and photos.
Every dog is welcome
Seniors, puppies, dogs on medication, unspayed or unneutered dogs, and dogs who’d rather skip group play (private care is available for an upgrade fee).
