Planning a Vacation? Read Our Summer Boarding Tips!

Heading Out of Town This Summer? Make Sure Your Dog Has a Safe, Fun Vacation Too!

Summer is a time for adventure, relaxation, and travel—but if you’re a pet parent, planning a trip also means finding the perfect place for your furry family member to stay. At Dogtopia of Saint Paul, we know how important it is to feel confident that your pup is safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. That’s why our summer boarding experience is designed to be more than just a stay—it’s a vacation for your dog, too!

A Cool, Calm, and Comfortable Dog Hotel Experience

Summer in Minnesota can bring scorching temps, loud fireworks, and unpredictable weather—none of which are ideal for your dog. When you board your pup with us at our dog hotel in St. Paul, you can rest easy knowing they’ll stay cool and comfortable in our climate-controlled playrooms. Our facility is fully air-conditioned, providing a safe refuge from the heat and humidity. No worries about your dog overheating, getting sunburned, or being outside during extreme temperatures—we’ve got it covered!

And let’s talk about fireworks. We know how stressful those loud bangs and booms can be for pups. At Dogtopia of Saint Paul, your dog won’t be exposed to any fireworks, helping them stay calm, secure, and stress-free during their stay.

Play All Day, Rest All Night

Your dog deserves more than just a kennel—they deserve a day filled with fun, stimulation, and love. Our boarding guests enjoy the same perks as our daycare dogs, including supervised play in climate-controlled playrooms and plenty of outdoor time to burn off energy and enjoy fresh air. Whether they love to chase, wrestle, or just lounge around, we tailor their experience to match their personality and play style.

In addition to group play, we also offer one-on-one cuddle and enrichment time with our canine coaches. Whether it’s a belly rub session, a game of fetch, or some puzzle-time brain games, your pup will feel special and cared for.

You Get to Stay Connected

We get it—leaving your dog behind can be tough, even when you know they’re in great hands. That’s why we offer live webcams in all of our playrooms, so you can check in on your pup anytime during the day. Whether you’re sipping coffee in Paris or lounging lakeside in Duluth, you’re never more than a click away from your dog’s happy face.

Plus, we send daily report cards with photos and videos, so you get updates on your pup’s day, their mood, who they played with, and any cute or silly moments we captured. It’s our way of making you feel like you’re still part of their day—even from afar.

Tasty Treats and Special Extras

Summer boarding should feel like a treat—and we make sure your pup agrees. During their stay, dogs can enjoy special snacks, frozen treats, and seasonal surprises that make their visit extra memorable. Want to add on a spa service before pick-up? We can do that too, so you’re greeted by a clean, fresh-smelling pup with wagging tails and happy eyes.

Love Comes Standard

What really sets our dog hotel apart is the love. Every dog who stays with us is treated like one of our own. From morning snuggles to bedtime tuck-ins, our team goes above and beyond to make sure your pup feels secure, supported, and seen.

Many of our team members are dog parents themselves, and we know the trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. That’s why we make your dog’s health, safety, and happiness our top priority—every single day.
