Seven dog daycare facilities in Tampa, plus three boarding resorts, all verified. Who runs 24/7, who requires which vaccines, and where the webcams are, checked by fechPup.
One of them never closes. Literally.
Three that solve the hardest problems
A daycare that never closes, an early-bird for commuters, and boarding you can watch from your phone.
Paws 'n' Rec - Grace
The only round-the-clock option in Tampa. The facility runs 24/7, with pickup and drop-off from 6am to midnight, which covers night shifts, delayed flights and every schedule in between.
VIEW THIS SPOT →The Bark Station
Doors open at 6:30am on weekdays, early enough to beat any commute. The wellness angle is real too: natural and organic products throughout.
VIEW THIS SPOT →PetSuites Carrollwood
Boarding with webcams, so you can check on your dog from the beach or the boarding gate. First stay free for new pets, plus a puppy preschool and even a blueberry facial.

Dog Boarding in Tampa
Three boarding resorts for trips longer than a workday.
Dog Daycare in Tampa 🐕
Tampa's daycares cluster where its dog owners live. South Tampa has Paws 'n' Rec Pearl and And a Leash on the MacDill side. Midtown is covered by Paws 'n' Rec Grace, the 24/7 flagship near I-275. Head north and The Bark Station sits on Linebaugh, with Hounds Town and WestFetch out west in Westchase.
Pricing runs on packages almost everywhere: a single day costs the most per visit, and five-day or ten-day packs bring it down. Every facility on this list evaluates new dogs before their first full day, usually a short temperament assessment in a small group.
If your trip runs overnight, the three boarding resorts above take over, and PetSuites lets you watch the whole stay on camera.
Vaccines and Paperwork 💉
Every daycare and boarding facility in Tampa will ask for vaccination records before the first visit. The standard set is rabies, distemper/parvo (DHPP) and Bordetella; PetSuites also requires both strains of canine influenza, and WestFetch wants a completed application ahead of any visit.
- Rabies is the legal baseline. Florida requires it from 4 months old. Our guide to Florida dog license and rabies rules covers the timing.
- Bordetella needs lead time. Most facilities want it given at least a week before the first daycare day.
- Keep records shareable. A free fechPup account gives your dog a Pet Passport, one link with photos, details and vaccination records that answers the paperwork question before you arrive.
Timing tip for summer: drop-off before 8am means the walk from the car happens before the pavement heats up. The seven-second pavement test applies in every parking lot on this page.
