Dog Kidz was founded in 2006 by owner, Sandra Blakley. After searching the area unsuccessfully many times for the kind of safe, kind, and roomy care that she wanted for her own dogs, Sandra decided that she needed to open her own place to get it! Our mission is to offer as much freedom and space to dogs as possible in a safe and secure environment.
At the same time, dog parents are offered the assurance of an almost home care environment and their freedom to leave on vacation or just a golf game knowing their family member will be well taken care of.

If you are like most loving pet parents, you cringe at the thought of cooping your dog up in a cage while you leave town. Here's the solution. A dirty dog may be a happy dog but sometimes we need him or her to be a clean (and happy!) dog. Cats and even birds and other small pets such as rabbits, bearded dragons, ferrets, and more need looking after as well. You want them to be relaxed and happy.
If you are like most loving pet parents, you cringe at the thought of cooping your dog up in a cage while you leave town. Here's the solution. Our pens are huge. We have two sizes. The regular pen is almost 4 feet by 6 feet and reaches to the ceiling. In the back is a dog door that goes out to an incredible 26 foot private run!
Cats and even birds and other small pets such as rabbits, bearded dragons, ferrets, and more need looking after as well. You want them to be relaxed and happy. Here's the solution. The Villa is our largest room with everything a kitty heart can desire. On the right is a real tree with climbing platforms and a large window seat to watch the goings on outside and be entertained by the dogs.
Our lives are busier than ever and often are furry friends are left alone for hours and hours. There's no reason to do that anymore. As much as we love them, it pains us to think that they spend so much of their short lives waiting for us to come home. You don't need the guilt and your dog definitely needs the socialization.

This was our 2nd trip to Dog Kidz with our pup. On our first visit our rescue pup had not been around other dogs for the month since we got her. She was a little anxious about getting in the car and was nervous around strangers. I was afraid she may not get out of the car. We arrived and filled out all of the paperwork to sign her up for 1/2 day daycare.
I went to go get her out of the car but the man there Jim said he would get her. The door as open and I undid the safety belt. She jumped right out and started happily jumping up to get pet by Jim. She walked right away with Jim. We did 2 hours of shopping, watched the dog cams they have and picked her up. Although Jim walked her to the car she tried to walk back in :) Our second visit we had to leave her there overnight.
We arrived and there was a mixup as to the date we were coming. They quickly checked and said they had room for her and it would be OK. The place is clean and there is plenty of room inside and out. We signed her up for afternoon daycare, overnight boarding and morning daycare. We ordered her a meal and desert. The prices are very reasonable. We were able to watch her on the cams and she was really enjoying herself. I went to pick her up and she really wanted to stay again :) Our pup will definitely be back at Dog Kidz. Sorry my phone camera was not working so we did not take pictures.

Boarded our 2 dogs there for over 3 years. Used to be the best place in Vero. The last 6 months there were staff changes an the concern for pets went downhill. Spoke to owner who explained it was me an my requests. Well yes I want my dogs fed a certain amount of food, an they got a treat a night. Maybe when her staff is better trained ed an more compassionate it might be a better place.
But for now I don't feel comfortable going there. In response to the owner what the fail to mention is several things. it's not about 1/2 cup of food. My dog had an injury that no one noticed. But me. I'm not goin to continue on with my rants. Use caution with this place. That's all. There are much nicer ones around with a more high quality environment.

I had to board my dog, Molly, for 2 1/2 weeks while I searched for a place to live that allows pets. This was a dramatic change for Molly because she was accustomed to being with me 24/7 and also having an acre of fenced land to run free. The staff treated her as if she belonged to them. When she wouldn't eat because of being so sad, they even tried to get her to eat the specialty food they provide normally at an additional charge, but without charge, because they were concerned about her.
After a few days of her being there, she actually followed them instead of me when I visited her, which I did every other day. I highly recommend this daycare and boarding facility. Their prices are reasonable and it isn't just a job to them. They actually love and care about pets! I hope I don't ever have to board Molly again, but if I do, it will definitely be at Dog Kidz!

The staff is incredibly friendly and make the place welcoming for pets. They also offer discounts the longer your dog stays, so it helps keep the bill down after 7 days. They also offer grooming and provide web came in case you want to see what your dog is up to. I couldn't recommend dog kidz enough.
