V.I.Pet Resort

V.I.Pet Resort is a boarding, daycare, and grooming facility at 6600 Kingspointe Pkwy in Orlando, FL, and it takes dogs of every size along with cats. Owners looking into dog boarding in Orlando will find private suites, indoor playrooms, and secure outdoor yards under one roof. Reservations are handled online.

Services and amenities

• Overnight lodging for dogs in private, climate-controlled suites
• Daycare with multi-level playrooms and secure outdoor play yards
• Grooming on site, so a bath or trim can be added to a stay
• Medication administration and special diets for pets that need them
• Cat boarding in deluxe 3-story condos with a large kitty courtyard

What makes it different

The dog suites use picket fences, which give each guest some privacy without cutting them off from the room. Luxury suites add a toddler bed, a papasan chair, and a private TV. Playgroups are built around temperament rather than mixed at random, and the playrooms include lounge chairs and play sets. Cats get their own territory: a roomy courtyard stocked with cozy beds and toys.

Staying in the loop

Owners get daily photos and updates while their pet is boarding. New guests also come home with a first-day report card on how the visit went, which is useful for anyone leaving a nervous dog for the first time.

Practical details

V.I.Pet Resort is open 8:00 AM to 6:30 PM Monday through Friday, and 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM on Saturday and Sunday, so weekend pickup windows are shorter than weekday ones. Booking runs through the resort's online system, and the phone line is (321) 587-5981. Proof of current vaccinations is required for every guest, so owners should have records ready before the first stay.
