Why Dogtopia of Saint Paul is the Best Dog Daycare and Dog Hotel in the Area

Finding the perfect place to care for your dog while you’re at work, traveling, or just need a break can feel overwhelming. At Dogtopia of Saint Paul, we make that choice easy. From our state-of-the-art facility to our loving, highly trained team, we’re proud to offer an unmatched experience in dog daycare, dog boarding, and luxury dog hotel services. Whether you live in Mac-Groveland, Highland Park, Prospect Park, Merriam Park, Desnoyer Park, St. Anthony Park, or nearby communities in Minneapolis, Dogtopia of Saint Paul is your go-to destination for safe, enriching care for your pup.

A Safe and Purpose-Built Facility

One of the biggest things that sets Dogtopia apart from other doggy daycare and boarding options is our commitment to safety and comfort. Our indoor playrooms feature rubber flooring, which is gentler on paws and joints than concrete or tile. This helps reduce the risk of injuries during playtime—especially important for puppies, seniors, and high-energy dogs alike.

Our dogs are separated into playgroups based on size and temperament, not just age or breed. This ensures a balanced, comfortable environment for every dog. Plus, our trained Canine Coaches monitor play at all times to keep the energy positive and safe.

See the Action Anytime With Webcams

Transparency is a core part of who we are. That’s why each of our playrooms is equipped with webcams, so you can check in on your dog throughout the day. Whether you’re at work in Saint Paul or traveling across the country, you’ll love being able to watch your pup play, nap, and make new friends in real time.

This feature alone sets Dogtopia of Saint Paul apart from many other dog daycare and dog boarding providers—and it gives pet parents peace of mind knowing their pup is having a great time.

More Than Boarding—A True Luxury Dog Hotel

At Dogtopia, dog boarding isn’t just a place for your dog to sleep—it’s an immersive experience that feels more like a luxury dog hotel. Our overnight guests participate in daycare activities during the day, enjoying play, socialization, and enrichment before settling into a comfortable, supervised space at night.

Unlike traditional kennels, we don’t believe in leaving dogs alone for long stretches. Your pup will receive plenty of love, care, and attention throughout their entire stay. Whether you need a one-night stay or extended boarding, your dog will feel like they’re on their own vacation.

Locally Owned, Community Focused

Dogtopia of Saint Paul isn’t just another franchise—it’s locally owned and operated by Saint Paul residents Sophie and Ian Nancekivell. Their love for dogs and dedication to community are what inspired them to open Dogtopia, and their family dog, Kota, was the original inspiration for creating a place where dogs can thrive.

We proudly serve not only Saint Paul neighborhoods like Mac-Groveland, Highland Park, Prospect Park, Merriam Park, Desnoyer Park, and St. Anthony Park, but also nearby Minneapolis communities looking for a trusted, high-quality option for dog daycare and boarding. Our central location makes us convenient for commuters, work-from-homers, and weekend travelers alike.

Clean, Enriching, and Professional

Cleanliness is a top priority at Dogtopia. Our facility is cleaned multiple times daily with pet-safe products, and we require all dogs to be up-to-date on vaccinations. This keeps our environment healthy for every dog that walks through the door.

In addition to cleanliness and safety, we also focus on mental and physical enrichment. Our daycare programming includes themed activities, brain games, photo days, and more—designed to keep your pup’s body active and their brain stimulated.

Built Around Joy—for Dogs and Their People

At Dogtopia of Saint Paul, we go above and beyond to create an environment that’s joyful, welcoming, and stress-free—for both dogs and pet parents. Our team genuinely loves getting to know each dog’s personality, preferences, and quirks. We celebrate birthdays, create themed events, and host community fundraisers and adoption events to bring together the broader dog-loving community.

From our playroom design to our customer service, everything we do is centered on making your dog’s experience as joyful and fulfilling as possible.
