Dog Boarding in Saint Augustine

Doggy Beaches

Let's face it - the main reason you're in Florida in the first place is for the beaches. So, why wouldn't you want to bring your pup to join in the fun? Luckily, there are tons of dog-encouraged beaches in St. Augustine that allow you to bring your water-loving, sand-sniffing pooch. Check out Vilano Beach, a touch northeast of St. Augustine. It's located on the scenic and historic A1A byway. Take your polite, quiet pup here to enjoy the sand and surf, just make sure you clean up after him before you go! Another great option is Crescent Beach, just three short miles away from St. Augustine Beach, where there's plenty of sand and surf for you and Fido to explore. While visiting this beach, make sure you keep your pups leashed at all times.

Bone Appetit- A Pet Friendly Food Tour

One of the most beautiful things about historic St. Augustine is the diverse and rich food culture that lines George Street. Now, you don't have to pick and choose based on where your pup is allowed. Sign you and your doggo up for the Bone Appetit Tour - a pet-friendly food tour of the historic downtown. For $64, you and your furry pal can explore the diverse offerings led by an experienced, licensed guide. You'll receive generous tastings, for both you and your pup, and learn all about colonial pets, where they came from, and how they lived in old St. Augustine. You and your canine compadre won't want to miss out on this delicious event!

St. Augustine Pup Crawl

The best part about St. Augustine is its rich history, and we know you, and your pup, want nothing more than to explore it together. Now, you can! You and your four-legged friend are welcome to trot along the St. Augustine Pup Crawl Route to take a historic Pub Tour of the city. You'll learn about pets through the ages, sample beer, wine, soda or sangria at all the stops, and even enjoy a few special Pet Stops just for the doggos along the way! For only $49, you and your barky buddy can pub crawl along historic George Street and learn about the rich, cultural history of the city (all while drinking a pint of beer!)

Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park & Other Puppy Parks

Though St. Augustine isn't quite on the map for being considered a pawsitely dog-friendly spot yet, the city is working hard toward making the parks pet-friendly. It's a little-known fact that the famous Fountain of Youth Archaeological Park is pet-encouraged! You and your pooch can explore the original 1565 site of St. Augustine together. For only $15, you and Fido can visit the nations oldest city and learn about the rich history spanning nearly 500 years! The only request? Don't let your thirsty pup drink out of the Fountain of Youth.

If your pup isn't quite the history buff you are, you can take him to other doggy parks in the area. Check out Treaty Park on Wildwood Drive or Ron Parker Park on Old Beach Road. Just make sure you've got your pup's papers verifying his shots!

Pups & Sups Surfing Contest

Hang ten - rather, hang 20! You and your surfing pooch can participate in the special Pups and Sups surfing competition each November! The two of you can team up to have a blast on the water, surf some waves, and help raise money for K-9s For Warriors, an organization that provides service animals to veterans and returning military personnel.

Never surfed before? Your pup doesn't have a board? No worries, dudes! You and your doggo can borrow a surfboard to catch some sweet swells. Pups will be divided into three classes based on their weight. Come out to snag some surf, splash in the water with your four-legged friend, and support a great cause!
