At Dogtopia of Orlando - Sanford, we provide our enrolled daycare dogs with a staycation that gets a five out of five paw rating every time! Whether you are going on a work trip or vacation, or need a pup-free home for a little while, our boarding service can be your furry family member’s home away from home. They can feel at ease as they make BFFFs (Best Furry Friends Forever) and engage with our expert Canine Coaches who are there to create an enriching stay.
When your pup arrives at our facility for their boarding stay, they experience all the joys that daycare brings during the day. They will play, learn, exercise, and socialize with each other as they engage in mind-stimulating brain games to test their problem-solving skills. Our agility-focused exercises are disguised as fun activities to keep their cardio up as they move, jump, and run around in our off-leash, open-play environment. By nightfall, they will drift off to doggie dreamland in our home-style crates.
Boarding dogs also participate in our themed doggie photoshoots, bacon and peanut butter-flavored bubble parties, and special activities, such as our arts and crafts days. In true staycation fashion, their days are packed full of fun as they become even greater canine citizens.
We understand that being away from your pup is not always easy, even if you know they are having The Most Exciting Day Ever. This is why we have webcams in each playroom that provide private streams to our pet parents. As your dog plays for the day and makes lasting doggie bonds with their furry friends, you can catch all the action wherever you are via our free mobile app or website.
PREMIER DOG BOARDING IN SANFORD, FLORIDA
Our brand-new, 6,000 sq ft. modern facility hosts three playrooms in which your dog can run and explore freely. Throughout the day and night, our boarding dogs remain in the playrooms chosen explicitly for them, as we split our furry guests into playrooms based on their size, personality, and play style. Our Toy Box is the go-to spot for small pups under 25 lbs., our Gym playroom is ideal for large dog breeds and more mature dogs, and our Romper Room is for those that fall somewhere in-between, such as our medium-sized dogs that have a bit more playtime energy.
Each playroom is supervised by our Canine Coaches, who are trained in managing and engaging with large groups of dogs. They have extensive experience working with all breeds and follow a custom curriculum that has been approved by the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants and the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers. With the ability to detect even the slightest change in dog behavior, our Coaches can interject when needed to prevent scuffles and use positive reinforcement to reward good behavior.
As your pup forms special bonds with their new furry friends and engages in fun exercises and activities for up to eight to ten hours a day, pet parents can rest assured that their pups are supported in the best way possible, which starts with how we designed our playrooms. We use compressed rubberized flooring that is both non-absorbent and odor-resistant, which aids in long-term paw, hip, and joint health. Our walls are from floor to ceiling, which helps prevent and contain any doggie airborne viruses, while their soundproofing material keeps each pup focused on the friends in their playroom rather than their neighbors. In addition, an HVAC system is equipped in each playroom to keep bacteria at bay and to help keep them climate controlled. This also helps us maintain clean, well-circulated airflow that our pups thrive in. We also follow strict cleaning protocols, as our playrooms are sanitized multiple times a day and are spot-cleaned often using a pet-safe cleaner.
Before officially becoming part of our Dogtopia squad, all dogs must pass our Meet & Greet evaluation, where our trained evaluator will perform a wellness check and health history review. We also determine if our off-leash, open-play environment is a good fit for your pup by creating a controlled mini-play area to see how they interact with other dogs and our Canine Coaches.
We also see how they respond to our home-style crates, where your pup will nap during the day and stay overnight. To maintain a healthy environment, all dogs must be up-to-date in vaccinations (i.e., DHPP, Bordetella, Rabies, etc.), puppies must be at least 12 weeks and older, and dogs seven months and older must be spayed or neutered.
PREPARE FOR YOUR DOG’S BOARDING STAY AT DOGTOPIA OF Orlando - Sanford
Bringing the comfort of home can help pups feel more relaxed during their boarding stay with us. This is why we recommend pet parents pack their dog’s blanket and/or a special toy that will provide recognizable comfort and scents. To keep them on a consistent, familiar diet and to avoid any possible digestive upset, we recommend bringing your dog’s food, which we can prepare during lunch and dinner.
ADD A TRIP TO THE SPA
It wouldn’t be a true staycation without some well-deserved R&R! Our doggie spa provides treatments for all dogs, no matter their size or breed. Whether they need hygiene maintenance like a nail trim or ear cleaning, or you want to treat them to a relaxing bath time massage, our team of trained spa specialists will leave your pup feeling like a million bones! Many pet parents schedule some spa treatments near the end of their pup’s boarding stay, so they can come home looking and feeling their best.
