New Clients and Lobby Arrival
A meet & greet is required for new clients so staff can learn about the dog, discuss appropriate activities and set the visit up well.
Arrive at the ranch
Park safely with your dog secured.
Call the office
Let staff know you have arrived at 352-622-7829.
Wait with your dog
If another client family or dog group is inside, remain outside or in your vehicle.
Come in when invited
Staff will let you know when the lobby is clear and it is safe to enter.
One client family or dog group in the lobby at a time
This simple procedure gives each arrival more space and helps prevent unnecessary dog-to-dog contact in the office.
Boarding Drop-Off and Pickup
Know the standard windows before you plan your trip.
Drop-Off
3:00 PM–6:00 PM
Morning boarding drop-off may be arranged, with a daycare charge for that day.
Standard Pickup
By 11:00 AM
After 11:00 AM, a daycare charge applies and normal later pickup is 3:00 PM–6:00 PM.
Full-Groom Pickup
3:00 PM–6:00 PM
No daycare charge is added simply because the scheduled full groom requires this later pickup window.
Special arrangements
Earlier or later arrangements may sometimes be coordinated through the front desk for an additional fee. They must be approved in advance.
What to Bring—and Leave at Home
Bring your dog’s regular food in clearly labeled portions, required medication and current vaccination documentation.
Please generally leave these at home
- Beds
- Blankets
- Toys
- Regular food bowls
A special feeder may be brought when it is genuinely required. Confirm it with the front desk before arrival.
Go-Home Bath or Full Groom?
Required Go-Home Bath
Stays longer than three nights require a go-home bath, charged at the applicable bath rate. This is a boarding bath, priced by the dog’s size.
Professional Full Groom
A full groom is a separate grooming appointment and is not the same as the required boarding bath. It changes the normal boarding pickup window to 3:00 PM–6:00 PM.
Daycare, Discounts and Holiday Questions
Do daycare packages guarantee group play?
No. Packages provide daycare and staff access, but activities are selected for the individual dog. Every dog receives an appropriate daycare experience; not every dog needs or qualifies for the same group-play environment.
Can intact dogs attend daycare?
Intact dogs may attend, but intact status and other individual factors can affect group-play eligibility.
Can discounts be combined with daycare packages?
No. The monthly daycare packages cannot be combined with another discount.
How does Dogwalker Ranch support service professionals?
Eligible military members, law-enforcement and correctional officers, paramedics, EMTs, nurses, doctors, teachers and similar service professionals may qualify for a discount with professional identification. The discount cannot be combined with packages or other discounts. Package customers may be able to coordinate work-friendly arrival or pickup arrangements through the front desk when purchasing the package.
What happens on major holidays?
Dogwalker Ranch closes for seven major holidays and closes at noon the day before. The exact holiday list and any limited pre-arranged holiday service should be confirmed directly with the front desk.
Have a Reservation-Specific Question?
Call the ranch before arrival so the team can confirm the right timing, room and care details for your dog.
