Why summer 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 go out for short, supervised yard breaks — never left in a run all day.

The hours

Park days don’t end at dinnertime. Because we’re by appointment around the clock, your pickup time is whatever you tell us.

The hotel problem

Most Orlando hotels either don’t allow dogs or charge cleaning fees and prohibit leaving them alone. With us, your dog is playing with friends while you’re on the rides — not waiting in a room.

Tips for a smooth spring break or summer stay

Text early

Peak weeks fill up. Text (407) 480-9669 as soon as you have dates.

Send vaccine records before you arrive

Rabies for private care; rabies, distemper, and Bordetella for group play. Email them to UniversalDogCareOrlando@gmail.com.

Pack their food

We provide beds and bowls.

Book by the hours you’ll actually use

A morning-only daycare day costs less than a full day — tell us your real park plan.

Who this works for

Theme park visitors staying near I-Drive, Sand Lake, or Dr. Phillips. Families driving down for the week. Locals whose summer schedule got busy. First-time boarders — every dog is temperament-tested on arrival, and dogs who prefer people get private care.

Frequently asked questions

Can I drop off before the park opens and pick up after it closes?

Yes. Text us your times and we’ll be ready.

What if my plans change mid-trip?

Text us. We’ll adjust the hours, and you only pay for what you use.

Do you take puppies and seniors?

Yes — puppies with current vaccines, and super seniors (15+) get gentle, low-stress care.

Is there a flat summer rate?

No. Rates are time-based, so text your dates and times for exact rates and availability.
