Bayshore Pet Resort

Bayshore Pet Resort provides dog boarding and daycare in Tampa, FL, from a 10,000 square foot pet resort at 4804 S. Manhattan Avenue. Nightly rates run $52 to $56, and playtime is part of that price rather than an add-on.

What an overnight stay includes

Boarding dogs get three to four walks a day plus unlimited playtime at no extra charge. Kennels are set up with raised cots, beds, blankets, toys and bowls. Staff can administer medication and work around a special diet, and the resort serves all-natural in-house dog food, both canned and dry.

How the play groups work

Playtime is separated by size and temperament, so small dogs aren't turned loose with much larger ones. Daycare play is indoors, which matters during a Tampa summer afternoon. Dogs who would rather be around people than other dogs get one-on-one play with a staff member instead.
