Going away on a business trip or a well-deserved family vacation? Although you would love to bring your furry family member with you on all your trips, it\u2019s often not feasible. Treat your pup to a fun-filled vacation of their own at Dogtopia of Geneva, where they can enjoy playful days and restful nights. Our highly trained team of canine lovers will treat your pup like one of their own by providing them with the attention and love they deserve. Your dog will be happy, healthy and safe during their stay.<\/p>\n

BOARDING AT DOGTOPIA OF GENEVA<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Going out of town? Give your pup a vacation of their own! At Dogtopia of Geneva, boarding dogs enjoy full days of supervised, off-leash play with their furry and human friends, so they can exercise, socialize, and have fun while you\u2019re away.<\/p>\n

NEW TO DOGTOPIA?<\/h3>\n

Getting started is easy! All new dogs begin with a complimentary Meet & Greet<\/strong> so we can get to know your pup and make sure our open-play environment is a good fit for them.<\/p>\n

Once your pup successfully completes their Meet & Greet, they\u2019re welcome to stay and play for the rest of the day at no charge!<\/strong> They\u2019ll also receive 2 FREE days of daycare<\/strong> to use after their Meet & Greet.<\/p>\n

For dogs who are new to Dogtopia or have not attended in more than four months, we require two days of daycare within 30 days before their boarding stay. These two days are complimentary!<\/strong> This gives your pup a chance to become familiar with our team, playrooms, and routine before spending the night with us.<\/p>\n

We recommend planning ahead, especially around holidays. Boarding reservations can be secured once all required forms are completed and your pup has successfully passed their Meet & Greet.<\/p>\n

A FULL DAY OF FUN<\/h3>\n

Unlike traditional boarding facilities where dogs may spend much of their day kenneled, Dogtopia is designed around exercise, socialization, and play. Boarding dogs enjoy 8\u201310 hours of supervised, off-leash play each day<\/strong> with opportunities to enjoy both our indoor playrooms and outdoor yards.<\/p>\n

After a full day of exercise and fun, your pup can settle in for a well-earned night of rest.<\/p>\n

MAKING YOUR PUP FEEL AT HOME<\/h3>\n

We encourage pet parents to bring their dog\u2019s regular food<\/strong> to help maintain their normal diet and avoid an upset stomach. Food may be refrigerated, frozen, or dry and individually portioned for each meal.<\/p>\n

You may also bring one crate-appropriate bedding item<\/strong>, such as a bed or blanket, to help your pup feel comfortable at bedtime. Toys are permitted in suites only and should be limited to one durable toy that cannot be easily chewed apart or ingested.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re also happy to administer medications, ointments, and drops at no additional charge.<\/strong> Please note that we are unable to administer injectable medications.<\/p>\n

COMFORTABLE OVERNIGHT ACCOMMODATIONS<\/h3>\n

At bedtime, dogs staying in our standard accommodations sleep in cozy, home-style crates in the same familiar playroom they enjoyed during the day.<\/p>\n

We also offer spacious suites with full walls and glass doors.<\/strong> Suites are a great option for dogs who may be more comfortable outside of a crate or for families with multiple dogs who would like to stay together.<\/p>\n

Want to see where your pup will stay? We\u2019d be happy to show you around! Just ask a team member for a tour of our facility<\/strong>, or search \u201cDogtopia Geneva\u201d on YouTube to view our video tour.<\/p>\n

Additionally, we require both daycare<\/a> and boarding pups be up-to-date on all vaccinations, spayed or neutered and be free of fleas, ticks and any contagious diseases.<\/p>\n

In addition to the meet and greet all new boarding dogs or dogs who have not attended Dogtopia in over 4 months will be required to attend 2+ days of daycare within 30 days of the boarding to make sure they are safe, comfortable and well-acclimated to the environment.\u00a0 <\/strong>We want to make sure we have a good understanding of their play style and enegry level, ensuring the safest and least stressful boarding stay possible.<\/p>\n
