Kitterman Woods loves pets and as Port Saint Lucie’s most pet friendly community we are always looking for new ideas, events and places for our furry residents.

Have you heard of Doggy Daycare? What is Doggy Daycare?

Doggy Daycare,” refers to a short-term daytime care for dogs. It shares many similarities with a regular daycare for children, and fills a niche between multi-day kennel boarding and pet sitting, where the sitter comes to the pet’s home. Fur parents, have a busy schedule and the often-prolonged hours at work drastically reduce the time that could be spent with their fur babies.

The popularity of such establishments in the United States and elsewhere has grown greatly since the early 1990s, and arose out of the more traditional kennel industry.

There are multiple environments and varieties of dog daycare service. Some facilities allow dogs to play in an outside environment. Others have indoor-only facilities, where dog interact and play in an indoor area and relieve themselves in designated inside areas.

There is a proposed facility The Tilton Road Dog Retreat that needs your help. They currently have a petition to allow the county to make a zoning change and allow them to open a facility with indoor and outdoor areas for the dogs.

If you would like to sign the petition please stop by the office or contact  [email protected].  for more information.
