Best Friends to Build Luxury Pet Resort at Walt Disney World Resort
Best Friends Pet Care Inc. has signed an agreement to build and operate a full-service, luxury pet "resort" at Walt Disney World Resort. The one-of-a-kind facility will cater to park and resort guests as well as Walt Disney World employees, providing a full range of pet hospitality services including dog and cat boarding, day care and grooming services, and doggy day camp.

Pet guests will enjoy such amenities as luxury suites with television and raised bedding, activities such as nature walks and playgroups, and pampering services ranging from ice cream treats to bedtime stories. The state-of-the-art facility will be located on Bonnet Creek Parkway in the Walt Disney World Resort, and is expected to open in mid-2009.

In anticipation of opening the new facility, Best Friends will assume operating responsibility for the five existing pet boarding facilities in Walt Disney World Resort, beginning in January 2008. Kennels on the Walt Disney World Resort property are located at the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Disney-MGM Studios, Disney's Animal Kingdom and Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort and provide both daytime and overnight boarding.

The Sheraton Safari is pet friendly:

They are 5 minutes away (left out of DTD to end of Hotel Plaza Blvd., turn left onto 535, 2 blocks ahead on right).

I just spent a few nights there last week. They also offer a shuttle to the parks free of charge.
