About

Two dogs are outdoors in a grassy and sandy area. The dog in the foreground is a light brown and white Shiba Inu facing the camera with its mouth open in what appears to be a smile. The dog behind it is a brown and white Siberian Husky, which is looking to the right and holding a green and blue toy in its mouth.

Where Pets Are Family – Every Day, Every Stay

At Ruby’s Pet Resort, we believe pets deserve more than just a place to stay—they deserve a place where they feel loved, secure, and happy. That’s why we’ve built our resort around one simple promise: treat every pet like family.

Located in Lakeland, FL, Ruby’s Pet Resort was founded with a mission to raise the standard of care in pet boarding and daycare. In June 2025, Andrea Sommers took over a struggling facility and transformed it into a clean, safe, and joyful environment where pets can thrive—whether it’s just for the day or an extended stay.

Our Mission

To create a loving, safe, and joyful environment where every pet can relax, play, and thrive—just like they would at home.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY

At Lakeland Doggy Daycare, we’re proud to have earned the trust of so many loving pet parents. Our clients often share how much happier, healthier, and more social their dogs have become since joining our daycare. From the warm welcome at drop-off to the peace of mind knowing their pups are in safe, caring hands, our families value the personalized attention we provide every day. Their kind words remind us why we do what we do—treat every dog like part of our family.

The whole time we were gone they sent us updates with photos.  Everyone was happy and healthy upon pick up. I would definitely recommend and I will use them again.

For me it’s so hard to leave them but knowing they are in great hands makes it so much easier. When they come back home they are exhausted so I KNOW they had the most fun!

What Makes Us Different

Compassionate, Personalized Care

Every pet is unique, and we tailor their experience to fit their personality. Whether your dog is full of energy or prefers quiet cuddles, we make sure they’re comfortable, entertained, and well-loved.

Safety and Cleanliness First

Our team goes above and beyond to maintain spotless facilities, secure fencing, and carefully supervised play areas. Pets enjoy both outdoor and indoor space, with more improvements on the way.

Peace of Mind for Pet Parents

With live pet cams, daily photo updates, and staff on-site 24/7, you’re always connected to your furry family member—even when you're away.
