Your Dog's First Sleepover (And Why They'll Love It More Than You Think)

Planning a trip but worried sick about leaving your dog behind? That's totally normal. At Hounds Town Fort Lauderdale, we get it. That's why we've created a safe, fun, and stress-free boarding experience that feels like a vacation for your pup too.

Spoiler alert: Your dog might have more fun than you do on your trip!

What to Expect When Your Dog Boards for the First Time

All-Day Fun (Not Sitting in a Cage)

Unlike boring traditional boarding places, Hounds Town Fort Lauderdale focuses on interactive play. Dogs spend their day in supervised playgroups matched by size and personality. This social setup gives them exercise, brain challenges, and friendship. By the end of the day, dogs are happy and totally relaxed.

No sad cage sitting here, just pure dog joy all day long.

Comfy Places to Sleep

We offer both standard townhomes, luxury suites and Penthouses to fit different needs and budgets. Each dog gets a clean, private space for meals and rest. After a full day of playing, they'll be ready to crash in comfort.

Think of it as a hotel room, but designed perfectly for dogs.

We Welcome ALL the Dogs

At Hounds Town, we believe every friendly dog deserves a place to play and stay. We have zero breed restrictions and welcome dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities.

Your "scary" pit bull? We love them. Your ancient senior dog? They're welcome too.

A Typical Day at Dog Paradise

7 a.m. Morning Routine – Dogs start with a potty break followed by breakfast in their own suite or townhome.

8 a.m. Play Time Begins – Dogs join their assigned groups for indoor fun all day long. Rest breaks happen naturally when dogs need them.

6 p.m. Dinner and Chill Time – After a busy day, dogs head back to their rooms for dinner and some downtime.

7 p.m. Last Call – Before bed, dogs get one final potty break and then settle in for the night.

What to Pack (It's Super Simple)
