Dogtopia of Norfolk – Ghent
Dogtopia is the leading destination for dog daycare, boarding and spa services. Our mission is to make sure your four-legged family members are kept safe and have a fun time when they are at our modern, open-play facility.
We understand that your dog is a member of the family. You want to provide your dog with safe socialization so that they meet and play with like-minded friends, exercise to keep them healthy and extend their lives and education to help ensure they are well-behaved both at home and when you take them out in public. Dogtopia’s daycare is designed with these needs in mind. Your dog’s safety is our top priority; that’s why our team’s training is certified by two nationally recognized associations in canine behavior. Our play rooms are supervised by these certified Canine Coaches, and your dog will be in a playroom where he or she is surrounded by dogs of similar size, temperament and play style as well as those who are fully vaccinated and have passed our Dogtopia evaluation. Your dog will be in very capable hands during their time with us!

Dog of the Week
For the week of 02-23-2026
Name:
Cosmo
Age: 4 yr 5mo
Breed: Australlian Shepherd
Favorite Activities: Cosmo loves sitting off to the side, quietly observing the room like a tiny floofy supervisor. She enjoys being close to the action without needing to be in the middle of it. Soaking up attention from anyone willing to give it is one of her favorite pastimes, and once you start petting her, she will absolutely convince you to give belly rubs too.
Friends: Cosmo is best friends with Doris, who absolutely adores her, and she has a special bond with her favorite morning coach, Marissa.
Most Lovable Qualities: Cosmo is extremely fluffy, incredibly gentle, and has the sweetest, calm presence. She’s affectionate, patient, and always ready for pets and cuddles. On top of her soft and shy personality, she’s also one of our strongest agility pups and consistently crushes the course. A true agility legend with a heart of gold!
DOG DAYCARE SERVICES AND MORE in Norfolk - Ghent
Dogs thrive in a structured environment where they can socialize with others, learn new things, stay active and have fun. Our daycare provides pet parents with more than just a place to leave their dog for the day. They will learn valuable skills, including how to behave around humans and other dogs.
Our facility comes with spacious, supervised playrooms in which dogs are placed according to their size, temperament and play style to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for your beloved pet.
We offer an off-leash, open-play environment, allowing your pup total freedom. We provide dog parents with half-day or full-day daycare. If your pup needs a spa day, we also offer spa services as a part of our daycare and boarding packages. When you pick up your dog at the end of the day, you’ll pick up a perfectly happy and played out pup.
Our services include:
STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITY
We’ve taken every precaution when it comes to the design of our facility. All of our spacious indoor playrooms use climate-controlled HVAC systems to keep your pup the perfect temperature during play time and nap time, and to help keep the air fresh and clean.
We deep clean and sanitize the playrooms multiple times a day with a biologically safe, pet-friendly cleaner. The compressed rubber flooring is specially designed to aid in the long-term joint and paw health of your furry child.
So you never feel separated from your dog, we have webcams in every playroom so you check in on them throughout the day (excluding naptime and overnight). All you need is a device that is connected to the Internet.
Your dog’s safety is our number one priority, which is why our Canine Coaches must complete a rigorous training, designed by a canine behaviorist, on dog body language and behavior. Our team knows how to recognize even the most subtle dog body language, and handle dogs of all sizes, breeds and temperaments.
