Indianapolis Downtown Doggie (Indy DTD)

Indianapolis Downtown Doggie (Indy DTD) is a dog boarding, daycare, and training facility at 925 E. Vermont St. in downtown Indianapolis. The 10,000-square-foot building has indoor play areas, private overnight rooms, and access to an on-site dog park. Rates run $38 to $54 per night.

Services and amenities

• Overnight boarding in private 10x5 indoor rooms, each with an individual dog cot
• Daycare with indoor and outdoor play, plus water play and wading pools
• Group obedience classes, private lessons, and house calls
• On-site grooming
• Home dog walking, with pick-up and drop-off available

What sets it apart

The training side is deeper than most boarding kennels offer. Owners can join a group obedience class, book private lessons, or have a trainer come to the house for problems that show up at home. That range matters if a dog needs structure rather than just a place to sleep.

Tours are available daily and no appointment is needed, which is the simplest way to see the boarding rooms and play areas before booking a stay. Staff will also administer medication for dogs that need it.

Practical details

Indy DTD is open 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday, and 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM on Saturday. Booking is handled by phone at (317) 979-2665. Proof of vaccination is required. Between boarding, daycare, grooming, and training, one stop in Indianapolis can cover most of what a dog needs in a given week.
