The Dog Patch

The Dog Patch is a dog boarding and daycare facility at 122 Linsley Ave. in Brandon, FL, taking small, medium, and large dogs for overnight stays, day play, and grooming. Boarding guests spend their days in supervised playgroups sorted by size and temperament, then settle in for an afternoon rest.

What they offer

The facility keeps lodging, daycare, and grooming under one roof, so a stay can include a bath before pickup.

• Standard, Standard Lux, and Large Lux boarding suites, with TVs in the Large Lux rooms
• Climate-controlled indoor play areas plus an outdoor space with a Paw Pool
• Daycare with playgroups separated by size and temperament
• Grooming on site, including 25% off exit baths for lodging guests
• Pickup and drop-off service

What stands out

Rooms are outfitted with Cuddle Mat bedding by Purple Pebble™. Owners who want a little extra can add Patch Plus Perks to a stay: a frozen treat, a bedtime treat, a bedtime brush-out, a cuddle, or a peanut butter Kong. Nap time runs from roughly 12:00 PM to 1:45 PM, so the day is not wall-to-wall play, which suits older dogs and puppies who wear out fast. Play moves between the climate-controlled indoor rooms and the outdoor yard, and the Paw Pool gets used on warm Florida afternoons.
