Cocoa Kennels

Cocoa Kennels offers dog boarding in Cocoa, FL, plus separate accommodations for cats, at 5575 King St. (SR 520). The facility is accredited by the American Boarding Kennel Association (ABKA) and holds memberships in the Cocoa Beach Area Chamber of Commerce, the Better Business Development Council, the Pet Car Services Association and the Fraternal Order of Police.

Where the dogs stay

Every dog room is a two-room indoor/outdoor suite with its own private run, so a dog can move between an inside bedroom and outdoor air on its own schedule. Large dogs, small dogs and older dogs are housed in separate wings. Outside, there are over 6,000 square feet of fenced play yards, including a 50-foot by 75-foot playground.

The Cattery

Cats stay in their own space, well away from the dog wings. The room is set up as a private feline sanctuary with an aquarium, a cat tree and a window perch.

Practical details

The kennel is open 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday, and 9:00 AM to 12:00 Noon on Saturday. It is closed Sunday. Reservations are handled by phone at (321) 632-9242, and the office can also be reached by email at cocoakennels@yahoo.com. An outdoor Greeting Area near the office gives owners a quieter spot for drop-offs and pickups, which helps if a dog gets wound up at the door.
