Cool rooms, hot summer plans
Florida summer 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 summer should feel like. Curious how we keep every dog healthy? Read about our biosecurity routine.
More sunshine, more playmates
Every dog gets a gentle temperament evaluation, then joins small, carefully matched playgroups, so the right playmates make the day. Dogs who prefer people get private care. Nervous about leaving your dog? See our help for anxious dogs.
Your getaway, their happy stay
A day at the parks is dog daycare in Orlando. A week away is overnight dog boarding in Orlando with meals at your dog’s usual times, potty breaks, quiet rest, and photos. Not sure which fits? Read dog daycare vs. dog boarding, or see how dog boarding works in Orlando. 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.
Long summer days, flexible pickups
We are open around the clock by appointment, so drop-off can be early and pickup can be after the sunset. Late pickups are welcome.
Summer memories, sent to you
Photo and video updates all day, so you can enjoy your plans and stay connected to your pup.
Tips for a smooth summer stay
Send vaccine records before you arrive (rabies for private care; rabies, distemper, and Bordetella for group play) to UniversalDogCareOrlando@gmail.com. Pack their food and a favorite blanket. Add dog grooming Orlando visitors love, a bath, nails, and teeth before the drive home, as optional add-ons. Tell us your real plan and we will build your rate around it.
Who this works for
Visitors staying near I-Drive, Sand Lake, Dr. Phillips, or Kissimmee (if you searched for dog boarding Kissimmee has to offer, we are the home-style option near the Universal parks), families driving down for the summer, and locals whose schedule got busy. Coming back in the spring? See our spring break dog boarding page.
