Dog Boarding in Naples

Dog boarding in and around Naples ranges from small kennels to pet resorts and day care centers with play yards and private suites. Visit before you book: a good facility will happily show you where dogs sleep, play and eat, and how it keeps them cool.

Permits and visiting

Collier County's Code Enforcement page for animal-related businesses posts an application for those businesses. Ask a facility whether it holds the county permit that applies to it, and treat your visit as your own inspection: clean, dry runs, fresh water, secure fencing, and staff who know the dogs by name.

Vaccines

Most facilities ask for rabies (required by Florida law from four months old), DHPP and Bordetella (kennel cough), and many ask for canine influenza. Collier County also requires a county license for dogs over four months old. Ask which vaccines a facility requires, and how it separates a dog that starts coughing.

Hurricane season

Collier County Domestic Animal Services offers pet-friendly sheltering at various locations when the county activates it. Admission is first-come, first-served for county residents whose pets have a current county rabies and license tag, you stay at the shelter with your pet, and you bring a crate and at least three days of food, water and medication. The county also keeps a list of commercial boarding facilities for owners who choose not to use a shelter. If you plan to board, book early and ask what the facility does if it floods or loses power.

What to ask

• Where do dogs sleep, and is someone on site overnight?
• How do they keep dogs cool, and is there a generator?
• Is play time in groups or one dog at a time, and how are groups matched?
• Which vet do they use in an emergency?
• Can you bring your dog's own food, bedding or medication?

Busy dates

Facilities fill up for the winter season, spring break and the Fourth of July, so book early. Check your dog's license tag and microchip details before its stay, and tell the facility if your dog is scared of fireworks or thunderstorms.
