Busters Happy Tails

Busters Happy Tails is a dog boarding and daycare facility at 2145 Andrea Lane in Fort Myers, FL, with grooming and training offered alongside overnight stays. Indoor suites, runs and play areas are climate controlled, and a staff member is on site 24 hours a day.

Outdoor space is what most owners ask about first. The property has eight large fenced yards ringed by six-foot fencing, in-ground pools that are cleaned weekly, and puppy pools for smaller dogs. The yards also hold playgrounds, agility features and plenty of shaded enclosures. Indoor play areas handle the hot afternoons and sudden storms that come with southwest Florida summers.

Services offered

• Overnight boarding at $45 to $60 per night
• Daycare with both indoor and outdoor play
• Private, climate-controlled suites
• Grooming and training
• Medication administration for dogs that need it

What makes it different

Play groups are sorted by size and temperament rather than mixed into one yard. The singles boarding option is also worth asking about: those dogs get extra attention and extra outside time with a staff member, which tends to suit shy dogs, seniors, or any dog that does better away from a group. Supervision does not stop when the lobby closes, since staff stay on site overnight.

Practical details

Hours run 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturday, and 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Sunday. Booking is handled by phone at (239) 362-0833.
