Peace of Mind Pet Resort & Shipping

Peace of Mind Pet Resort & Shipping runs dog boarding and daycare in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, from a facility at 1040 NW 53rd Street. Dogs of all sizes are accepted, small through large, and lodging comes in standard rooms or XL suites. Cats board here as well, which helps households with both. Reservations are made online.

Services and amenities

• Dog lodging in standard rooms and XL suites, plus cat lodging
• Daycare for dogs, with outdoor space for yard time
• One-on-one playtime, yard activities, and pool time
• Grooming: basic and premium baths, nail trim, ear cleaning
• Kongs and nighttime treats during overnight stays

What sets it apart

The extras are the clearest difference. Beyond the basics of lodging, staff offer one-on-one playtime, yard activities, and pool time, so a longer stay does not have to be a quiet one. Owners boarding two dogs together can get a room-sharing discount. On credentials, the business holds ABKA Kennel Technician certification and IATA/Live Animal Regulations certification, and it is an IPATA member. That background matters to owners weighing whether the people handling their dog have formal training.

Practical details

Nightly rates run $35 to $45, based on prices published on the resort's own site. Weekday hours are 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday. Saturday is a short window, 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM, and the facility is closed Sunday, so weekend drop-offs and pickups take some planning. Booking happens online, and the phone number is (954) 491-8189 for questions before a first stay. The resort also handles pet shipping and relocation, so the same staff who board a dog for a week can be the ones arranging a move.
