What makes it different

Not every dog wants a playgroup. Puppy Manor runs an open play environment for social dogs and keeps separate individual play yards for the ones who do better on their own, so owners are not stuck choosing between a crowd and a crate. Dogs rest in their own suites, and the building is climate controlled. An after-hours attendant stays onsite to handle final potty breaks at the end of the day.

Food, rates, and booking

Owners can bring their dog's own food or use the house food. Published nightly rates run from $40 to $60. Reservations are made online through puppymanor.com, and proof of vaccination is required before a dog stays. The facility can be reached at (813) 898-0495 or info@puppymanor.com for questions about a specific dog's needs.
