The Ark Pet Spa & Hotel

The Ark Pet Spa & Hotel is a cage-free dog boarding and daycare facility in Orlando, Florida, at 1965 W. New Hampshire Street in the Packing District. The same building handles grooming, cat boarding, and exotic pets, which matters for families who have more than one kind of animal to place before a trip.

What they offer

• Cage-free boarding with indoor play space and outdoor yards laid with synthetic dog turf
• Daycare, plus private one-on-one play sessions for dogs who don't enjoy group play
• Private pet cams owners can check during the day or at night
• On-site grooming and Slobberbones Bakery & Market, the in-house pet bakery
• Pickup and drop-off service, and feeding for dogs on special diets

What sets it apart

Most boarding kennels take dogs and stop there. The Ark keeps dedicated cat condos near the front desk, away from the noise of the dog side of the building, and a separate area for small and exotic pets: rabbits, birds, lizards, hamsters, and mini pigs. One drop-off can cover the whole household.

The private play option is worth knowing about if a dog is older, shy, or simply more interested in people than in other dogs. Instead of joining a group, the dog spends that time with a staff member, and the session can be added to either a daycare visit or an overnight stay.
