Services
Overnight Boarding (our location):
Perky Petz offers residential, overnight boarding services for dogs only. The great thing about our boarding services is that they are in the comfort of a home setting that is exclusively used for doggy daycare and boarding. This often instantly sets dogs at ease, rather than boarding them in a traditional kennel setting or at a veterinary office. Dogs are not left alone overnight like at many facilities. This is a cohabitative group setting, so your pup must be non-aggressive and comfortable with other dogs. Your dog cannot be an escape artist able to jump a 6 foot privacy fence. If he/she can do this, our boarding location is not appropriate for your pet. No exceptions.
Boarding includes unlimited playtime or lounging, medication administration, text and picture updates, and late pickup hours until 8 pm on most nights (except Monday and Friday). Dogs are not necessarily required to sleep overnight in kennels- if they will not chew on furniture, not constantly try to play with other dogs, or otherwise disrupt the sleeping environment, we try to allow kennel-free boarding as much as possible.
Hours for drop off and pick up are by appointment only. Timeframes are shown below and subject to change at any time.
Monday- very limited hours by appointment
Tuesday- 7:30-9:30 am; 4-8 pm
Wednesday- 7:30-9:30 am; 4-8 pm
Thursday – 7:30-9:30 am; 4-8 pm
Friday- 7:30-9:30 am; 4-6:30 pm
Saturday- usually 8-9 am; evening pickup by appointment
Sunday- usually 8-9 am; 6-8 pm
Pricing
We charge a calendar day rate (regardless of drop off time) that includes the items mentioned above. Unlimited play and individualized attention, in a small, intimate setting is what will make your dog the happiest!
Dogs 20 lbs or under- $30 per calendar day
Dogs 21-60 lbs- $35 per calendar day
Dogs 60 lbs + - $40 per calendar day
Student, teacher and first responder/law enforcement discounts are available for boarding services. You will receive 10% off your total stay. (Already established clients on older price plans have already received a discount and are not eligible.)
See Doggy Playcare section for more information on play.

Doggy Playcare:
The main Perky Petz location offers doggy playcare (daycare), Monday-Friday, hours listed below, by reservation, meaning you need to let us know in advance that you would like to bring your dog to daycare that day. Spots fill up quickly, so we recommend you bring your dog the same day each week to reserve your space or reserve the week before for the days you’d like the following week.
How it Works:
This is all day play and fun for your pup. We require that all dogs have a meet and greet before starting daycare; be current on vaccines and flea/heartworm protection/ be non-aggressive toward people or other dogs.
You will drop your dog(s) off between 7:30-9:30 am. He or she will be able to play in small groups of similar size and/or energy level, both inside and outside. Your dog will be able to play as much or as little as he or she chooses, given ample opportunity to rest. All dogs have naptime for 1.5-2 hours at lunch. You may send lunch if your dog is used to eating during the day. Pickup times are from 4-8pm, Tuesday-Thursday and 4-6:30 pm on Fridays.
**We ask that you text the Perky Petz daycare owner or daycare manager on duty that day to let them know when you are on your way. This is to ensure there will be no dogs in the front play area and to be sure your dog will be ready for you when you arrive**
**We have a one client at a time rule. If there is anyone else waiting in the driveway or on the roadside, please wait until they leave to come inside. This will allow you individual attention and help minimize chaos**
See Daycare FAQ for additional daycare information and things to know.
Doggy playcare is $25 per day. Contact us today to schedule a meet and greet and get started!

In-Home Visits
If you have animals other than dogs, or your dog doesn’t really do well in a setting other than his or her own home, home visits are the way to go!
We have several staff members in various parts of town and will assign you a consistent walker based on the area in which you live. This is especially nice if your pet(s) have an emergency and need veterinary care. Our Perky owner, Alicia Armstrong, will serve as the backup in case your regular caretaker is unavailable. It is very important to us that your pet(s) get to know the same person for consistency purposes. This creates a bond between your pet(s) and their caretaker. Other companies will assign whoever is available; that is just not our philosophy as it causes undue stress on your pet(s). It’s a similar reason not to choose transient members of our community who may not be here long term. As soon as your pet(s) bond with them, they will no longer be available, or perhaps they are not bonded, licensed, and insured. We are all committed, fully licensed professionals and truly treat your pet(s) as family.
There may be times when we cannot provide service if you want until the last minute to schedule, especially during peak times or holidays. We advise you to plan and schedule in advance as much as possible.
Visits are priced by the length of time you’d like us to spend with your pets, and number of pets you have, and include the following: dog walking/let out, feeding, litter box maintenance, freshening the water, socialization. Home maintenance is also included such as bringing in the mail, turning on different lights around the house to make it look like you are home, taking out the trash, and watering plants. (NOTE: We also provide pet care to farm animals. These have special farm pricing rates. Due to the increased drive time for most farms, and increased service needs, please inquire for those rates.)
Express Lane (15 minutes) – perfect for just walking your dog or a quick lunchtime potty break! - $20 per visit
Middle of the Road- (30 minutes) – includes more socialization and loving (time) for your furry babies - $28 per visit
First Class Service- (60 minutes)- even more socialization and time to love on your furry children - $35 per visit
Rates above include service for up to 3 pets. Each additional is $5 more per visit. (Fish don’t count since people tend to have too many to count 😉 )
Student, teacher and first responder/law enforcement discounts are available for in-home visit services. You will receive 10% off your total bill. (Already established clients on older price plans have already received a discount and are not eligible.)

Doggy Parties!
*We host college football game day parties for FSU and FAMU home games. This is a great way for you to go tailgate worry free and know that your dog is having fun in a safe environment! Drop off and pickup times are set based on game times and will be announced closer to game day. For night games, an overnight stay is required. Pricing is $30 for the day party and $50 if your pup spends the night (they can play the entire next day, too!). This includes unlimited play and a super cute football themed bandana. Dogs get unlimited play with their friends and you don’t have to worry about rushing home to let them out, getting a friend to check on him/her or juggling your schedule on hectic game days.
*If your dog attends our daycare program regularly and you’d like him/her to have a party with their friends, that’s a great option! Parties include pictures, decorations, party hats, and you can send the special treats if you’d like – or we can make gourmet cupcakes from our Perky Petz bakery! The cost is $20 for the party if you supply the treats and $35 if we provide the fresh baked cupcakes. Your pup gets to take home any leftover cupcakes. They stay good for a few days in the refrigerator, or you can freeze them. Great snack!

Dog Walking
Dog walking is a great way to exercise your dog when you are busy at work or school. It is available during lunchtime hours and other hours on a limited basis, given staff availability.
We have several staff members in various parts of town and will assign you a consistent walker based on the area in which you live. This is especially nice if your pet(s) have an emergency and need veterinary care. Our Perky owner, Alicia Armstrong, will serve as the backup in case your regular walker is unavailable.

Express walk- 15 minutes- $20
Longer walk- 30 minutes- $25
Longest walk- 60 minutes- $35
*Should you want a daily walk, a $5 discount per day will be applied to your service.

Grooming
We offer full grooming services through our sister company, Groom ‘n Board. They offer discounts for Perky Petz clients and provide grooming in a residential setting. Just like at Perky Petz, this allows your pet(s) to be instantly comfortable rather than anxious at a facility, or the vet’s office. It eliminates the barking dogs and reduces the stress level tremendously. Ian has several years of professional grooming experience, and all his clients are highly satisfied. He does, however, book up very quickly. You will want to schedule your services weeks in advance since he only offers grooms on the weekends. Check out his website https://www.mygroomnboard.com/ for more information.
Nail Trims/Bathing
**During daycare or boarding, we do offer nail trims/dremeling and bathing in house. This needs to be scheduled in advance.
Nail Trims (clippers) - $15*
Dremeling- $20*
Bathing (includes ear cleaning)- $15 for small dogs; $20 for medium dogs; $25 for large dogs
*If your dog is aggressive or severely anxious, it may be possible that this service cannot be performed. We will let you know if this is the case.
**Packages for these services are available - $25 for small dogs; $30 for medium dogs; $35 for large dogs. Convenient since your dog(s) are already here, reduces the stress level of being in a grooming salon or vet’s office environment and you get a squeaky clean pooch!
