Overnight Dog Boarding in Tampa, FL

Our Overnight Boarding offers a calm, home-based alternative to traditional kennels. Dogs stay in our home and are cared for just like our own, enjoying a structured routine with plenty of individual attention in a quiet, private setting.

 

Dogs spend time both indoors and outdoors throughout the day and sleep inside the house in crates at night, creating a safe and comfortable experience. For stays of seven nights or longer, boarding includes a complimentary bath and nail trim so your dog returns home clean and refreshed.

What to Bring for Boarding

To help your dog settle in comfortably and keep their routine consistent, we ask that you bring the following items for their stay:

 

Required

  • Enough food for the entire stay

  • Any medications your dog requires, clearly labeled

  • Any training equipment your dog uses regularly (if applicable)

  • And don’t forget to bring your dog!

 

Optional (But Welcome)

  • Treats and toys your dog enjoys

  • Blankets, dog beds, or other comfort items to place in your dog’s crate or kennel

For your dog’s safety, our staff may remove toys, blankets, towels, or other items if we feel they pose a risk when a dog is unattended. This decision is always made with your dog’s well-being in mind and helps us maintain a safe environment for every guest.
