Dogtopia of Homewood

Dogtopia is Birmingham’s leading destination for dog daycare, boarding and spa services. Our mission is to enrich your dog’s life by providing a safe, supervised, stimulating environment in a modern, open-play facility where they can exercise, socialize, learn and have fun!

At Dogtopia of Homewood, we understand the value of daycare in our dogs’ lives. Your dog is a member of the family. We send our children to school to learn, make friends, and have fun. Why should our four-legged family members be any different?  Dogs are highly social, active animals who need regular stimulation and socialization to live to their fullest potential.

We are a locally owned and operated business supported by the nation’s fastest-growing dog daycare and boarding brand, providing us with access to the highest quality resources, training and support in the industry. Everything at Dogtopia – from the design of our state-of-the-art facilities, to our uncompromising safety standards, to our extensive training and certification of Canine Coaches – is structured to create the safest, cleanest, most stimulating open-play experience for your furry friend, so you can bring home a happy, well-exercised (and tired!) dog who’s ready to curl up with you and your family. For our passionate team of dog lovers, it matters to us the way it matters to you.

DIScOVER THE DOGTOPIA DIFFERENCE

We provide the highest quality open-play dog daycare and boarding in the Birmingham area. Dogs thrive in a structured environment where they can socialize with like-minded friends, learn new things, stay active and have fun.  That’s why Dogtopia of Homewood offers so much more than just a place to leave your dog when you can’t be with them.

We offer an environment dedicated to enriching your dog’s life, a place where your dog feels safe and loved by our certified Canine Coaches while enjoying the freedom to play and make friends in our supervised, open-play dog daycare. Our unique training program ensures our certified Canine Coaches are skilled in maintaining safe play and rewarding good conduct, while gently discouraging bad behavior.

Our services include:
