Winter Park Paws Dog Daycare & Suites

Winter Park Paws Dog Daycare & Suites runs cage-free dog boarding and dog daycare in Winter Park, FL, for a small number of dogs each day. Capacity is capped at fewer than 25 dogs, and a typical day brings 14 to 18. Groups run at a 10:1 dog-to-human ratio, with two staff members assigned to every group.

What's on site

The building is climate-controlled, and dogs rest in private, secured areas rather than crates. Play is off-leash, indoors and out.

• Indoor and outdoor off-leash play areas
• Private suites and secured rest areas, with nap time from 12 to 3 PM
• Pools and a splash pad for warm weather
• A K9 artificial turf dog run enclosed by a 6-foot privacy fence
• A sensory herb garden planted with dog-friendly plants

What sets it apart

The small-group model is the whole point here. Fewer dogs on the floor means staff can watch individual play styles instead of managing a crowd, and the mix of indoor rooms, outdoor turf, and water play gives handlers somewhere to move a dog who needs a change of pace. Owners get a daily report card with photos, sent by text and email, so there's a record of how the day actually went.

The facility is PackPro Certified, and staff hold Pet First Aid and CPR certification. Winter Park Paws is also licensed, bonded, and insured.
