Craig Seiden, Owner

Craig Seiden, owner of Dogtopia of Downtown Orlando, has always believed that dogs deserve the same happiness, love, and care that they give so freely to us. Before opening Dogtopia, Craig spent seven years working in the NHL, including roles with the New Jersey Devils radio broadcast and the NHL Home Office. His path changed because of his dog, Brodeur, whose impact inspired Craig to create a place where he could give back to dogs and the people who love them.

Today, Craig shares his life with three Labrador Retrievers—“the loves of my life”—and leads Dogtopia with a clear, unwavering vision: to create a safe, fun environment where dogs can be themselves, build confidence through socialization, and have the most exciting day possible. That vision has remained the same since day one.

For Craig, exceptional dog care means treating every dog like family, prioritizing safety above all else, and always striving to improve—for both the dogs and the team caring for them. What he’s most proud of is the growth he’s seen in the dogs, the staff, and the relationships built with pet parents. His goal is simple: when you leave your dog at Dogtopia of Downtown Orlando, you feel complete trust—and when you return, it feels like coming home.
