Pet Paradise

Pet Paradise is a dog boarding facility at 5140 University Blvd W in Jacksonville, Florida. The property is built around overnight stays for dogs, with air-conditioned suites indoors and dog runs and play areas outside. A veterinary clinic operates on site.

What the facility includes

• Air-conditioned suites
• Customized dog runs and play areas
• A bone-shaped swimming pool
• 24/7 surveillance with webcams
• On-site veterinary services

Air conditioning is not a small detail in Jacksonville, where the heat and humidity run late into the fall. The bone-shaped pool is one of the listed amenities on the property, along with the customized dog runs and play areas.

Cameras and vet care

The location lists 24/7 surveillance with webcams among its features, so the facility is monitored around the clock. On-site veterinary services are also part of the operation, which puts a vet in the same building where dogs are staying. For owners of older dogs, or dogs on daily medication, that proximity is often the deciding factor.

Hours and location

Pet Paradise on University Blvd W is open 6:30 AM to 7:00 PM Monday through Friday. Weekend hours are shorter, running 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday. The address is 5140 University Blvd W, Jacksonville, FL 32216.

Getting in touch

Reservations and questions go to 904.396.7529 or university@petparadise.com. Because the weekend window is narrower than the weekday one, a Saturday or Sunday drop-off or pickup takes a bit more planning than a weekday one. Owners with specific questions about their dog's stay are best off calling the location directly.
