The one-of-a-kind pet resort offers 17,000 square feet of air-conditioned indoor space, 10,000 square feet of covered outdoor runs and play areas, and a 25,000-square-foot dog park exclusively for the use of Best Friends clients and their pets. “Best Friends is thrilled to open the doors of this special facility,” said Dolan, “We’ve been looking forward to this day for a long time. It incorporates the very best concepts from our other Best Friends facilities with some imaginative ideas that we think will delight and surprise our Walt Disney World clients.” “Our pet guests can enjoy luxurious accommodations and a variety of different play areas here at Best Friends Pet Care Resort,” Bernard said. “Where else can vacationing dogs have their own water play park or bedtime stories? How many cats on holiday get to enjoy room-service treats like Tuna on a Ritz?”


Each of the 14 Vacation Villa suites and 4 VIP suites features a flat-panel TV playing Disney movies!!

The facility, which already has many pet guests booked for the Labor Day weekend, is able to accommodate as many as 300 pets for both daytime and overnight boarding. Dog owners can choose from a variety of accommodations, ranging from a standard 32 square-foot all indoor suite, to an expansive 226-square-foot VIP (Very Important Pet) suite with television, raised bedding and private outdoor yard. Feline guests will spend their visit in the separate “Kitty City” pavilion -- away from the dogs -- in two- and four-room condos. There also is a special area for the boarding of pocket pets, small mammals and birds.


The Splash and Play Water Feature is the centerpiece of the 25,000-square-foot,
off-leash dog park – reserved exclusively for Best Friends guests
and their human companions.

The facility offers a private dog park exclusively for the use of Best Friends guests. It comprises a walking trail overlooking natural wetlands and several large areas of varying terrain for running and playing, including a 1,300 square-foot “canines only” splash-and-play water feature. There also are sitting areas where owners can relax and watch their dogs play. The entire park is secure from outsiders and is available for use after dark.

Pet parents can choose from a wide range of a la carte activities for pet guests from one-on-one playtimes and social playgroup with other doggy guests, to cuddle time and bedtime stories with staff. Additional amenities and upgrades include Ice Cream Treats, Bottled Water and Premium/Orthopedic Bedding. Feline guests can also enjoy private playtimes, activity toys in their suites, and treats such as cookies and milk or Tuna on a Ritz..
