    Dogtopia of Homewood

    We believe that every dog deserves regular daycare. Our mission is to enrich your dog’s life by providing a safe, supervised, stimulating environment where they can exercise, socialize, learn and have fun!

    At Dogtopia of Homewood, we understand the value of daycare in our dogs’ lives. Your dog is a member of the family. We send our children to school to learn, make friends, and have fun. Why should our four-legged family members be any different?  Dogs are highly social, active animals who need regular stimulation and socialization to live to their fullest potential.

    We are a locally owned and operated business supported by the nation’s fastest-growing dog daycare brand, providing us with access to the highest quality resources, training and support in the industry. Everything at Dogtopia – from the design of our state-of-art-facilities to our uncompromising safety standards to our extensive training and certification of Canine Coaches – is structured to create the safest, cleanest, most fun daycare experience for your furry friend, so you can bring home a happy, well-exercised (and tired!) dog who’s ready to curl up with you and your family. For our passionate team of dog lovers, it matters to us the way it matters to you.
