Why spring break in Orlando needs a different kind of dog care

The heat

Florida afternoons are hard on dogs, especially flat-faced breeds and seniors. Our dogs play indoors in air conditioning and head out for short, supervised yard breaks, never left in a run all day. Cool floors, fresh water, and a sunny-spot snooze is what a Florida spring break should feel like for a dog. Curious how we keep every dog healthy? Read about our biosecurity routine.

The hours

Park days do not end at dinnertime. Because we are open around the clock by appointment, your pickup time is whatever you tell us: a rope-drop drop-off, a late fireworks pickup, both are fine.

The hotel problem

Most Orlando hotels either do not allow dogs or charge cleaning fees and prohibit leaving them alone. With us, your dog is playing with friends while you are on the rides, not waiting in a room. Think of us as the home-style dog hotel Orlando visitors have been looking for: a family, not one of the dog kennels Orlando is full of.

Daycare or boarding for your trip?

One park day is dog daycare in Orlando: drop off in the morning, pick up after the fireworks. A week of park days is overnight dog boarding in Orlando with a home routine. Not sure which fits? Read dog daycare vs. dog boarding, or text us your plans and we will help you pick.
