Almost a decade ago, Animal House was established by Dawn Brittain. Before Animal House, Dawn was an outside pet sitter in Sarasota. Her clients kept asking her if she would take their dogs home with her for overnight sitting. Eventually, Dawn purchased a lovely home with an acre of land. With that much room, there was definitely space for Animal House to be born.

We went to the Animal House bed and breakfast to check it out for possible boarding for our puppy Skippy. What a wonderful, happy and safe place for doggies to stay while the pawrents are away.

First time I have left my dog anywhere. Pleasantly surprised at facility. Large areas to play. Staff kept me updated as I wasn't quite sure how he would react. Turns out he is social butterfly lol always great with people wasn't sure about other dogs.

Finally found an AMAZING free-range (non-kenneled) Doggy Daycare for our sweet floofers, Hudson. His first 2 weeks have been incredible! Hudson literally bolts out of the vehicle heading for the door, and he just about knocks over Kate & Gina for hugs & kisses! The owners, Mike & Gina are the kindest people you will ever meet and you can tell immediately that they are TRUE animal lovers at heart. Hudson has never been SO happy (and worn out) playing & running with his new furriends all day long while his hoomans are at work!

The best part about this daycare, for us anyway, is that they don't kennel them unless you request it. Hudson has never been kenneled, even at home, and he practically potty trained himself during the 1st month we got him. So Hudson is free as a bird all day long to run, play, indoors or outdoors, hugs, kisses, snuggles and plenty of tail wagging! Mike & Gina do a "doggy interview" for all new dogs before allowing them to come on a regular basis and I just loved that they do this!

There are always so many dogs for Hudson to play with, big AND small, and they are all just the sweetest, kindest, friendly doggies here. We are THRILLED to have found this place for our furrbaby during the day while we are working, the caregivers here are true animal lovers & we know our beloved furrbaby is safe & being very well cared for.

Thank you for taking good care of Cody! You are all an amazing staff who loves and cares for not only my guy but for the animals there. If you are looking for a place to send your pampered pooch, look no further!

Our German Shepard does well in a environment with other dogs that have a lot of running room. In smaller places with nowhere to run he does not do well and gets into trouble and starts to annoy the other "campers" and winds up being placed in a kennel all day. At Animal House he has so much room and fun he winds up sleeping most of the day following a visit to Animal House. if you have a high energy dog I would bring them here, even if your dog is not high energy they will thoroughly enjoy it here.

Best dog boarding in town. Owner's are very personable and live on the property. Peace of mind at night. They do not nickel and dime you for every little service-like administering meds. I highly recommend.

I am so glad I found this place. It's like a hidden gem. My dog is always excited to be there. When we start pulling up to Animal House I always have to put the windows up because he almost jumped out once (and the car was moving). I don't think I've ever seen him more excited to get somewhere. He gets plenty of exercise and I know that because he gets home straight to sleep and snore!

The bath that they give him is the BEST. The shampoo or cologne scent they use lasts for days! The staff is really friendly, I had one incident where my dog's harness was damaged while he was there and without me asking.the owner or manager sent me a new one (same color) through amazon to my house! Now that's what I call customer service. Thank you Animal House for giving me a peace of mind while leaving Theo.

Walter loves Animal House. They really care and know your pet. They assist with every detail for daycare or overnite. It's your one place for your pet.
