Kennels At Universal Studios

This is the official kennel for Universal Studios Orlando located on the ground floor of the Jaws parking garage in the far back corner of the lot. The specific kennel information regarding costs and shot records can be found on their www site so I won’t go into those details in this review.
When you arrive at the guest parking garage to pay for parking tell them you’re going to the kennel and they will direct you. You’ll also need to tell the lot attendant just past where you paid because they don’t normally let cars go back there as it’s in the bus parking lot so they will try to direct you to other parking. It’s best to just leave your vehicle parked at the kennel while you enjoy the park. It’s about a 20 minute walk. If you chose to park in the other lot you will have to exit and re-​enter at the main gate so there’s 15 minutes right there. Drive all the way to the end of bus parking lot and you will see a sign for the kennel. The kennel is located on the left.
The kennel is hospital sterile clean and it shows. The main lobby is spacious and clean with a bench or two for your friends and family to sit on while waiting you for you to check in. Check in time takes about 8 minutes and you will then follow the attendant to the back with your pet. The attendant will grab a bucket for water and fill it for your pet. Small pets are housed inside in the air-​conditioned kennels and large dogs are outside in the shade with fans on. You can keep multiple pets in one cage for both small and large pets.
You will put your pet in the cage and they will shut the door and lock it with a padlock. I threw some toys and a bed in there and hung the leash for my dog on the cage so it was there when I returned to walk my dog. You can leave food as well but they do not feed them that is your responsibility.
When I returned later in the day to walk my dog it took about an hour for me to walk there and back from the park including the 20 minutes I spent walking my dog so plan 1 hour to be safe. If you time your visit back to the kennel right just pack your lunch and leave it in a cooler in your car and save $ 15/​person on food and beverage by eating at your car after you walk your dog or check on your cat.
There’s a mulch covered area about 50′ x 50′ right outside the kennel door that’s in the shade and protected from the elements that you can walk your dog or you can go behind the kennel to a huge grass area with tons of space. There are poop bags located in the covered area but not in the grass area so grab one on your way over to the grass. Trash cans are located near the entrance to the kennel.
The attendant will not walk your pet or remove them from the cage but the attendant that was working when I was there said he does give them attention throughout the day as he works his shift. No one under 18 is allowed in the kennel area. The staff if very friendly and helpful even regarding details of the park. There is an attendant on site from 7:30 am to 10 pm. After 10 pm you call a number they provide and someone will come assist you. You can leave your pet there until 3 am.

$ 15 per day
Make sure to bring your vaccination paperwork — required!
Small dogs get air conditioned metal kennels indoors, large dogs get large outdoor kennels with fans. Everything was very clean.
Staff do not walk your dogs, so you will need to plan to come back mid day to walk your pup. (In my opinion this beats returning to your hotel!)
Staff were super friendly and check in on the dogs once every 15 mins. They have your cell # and will call you with any problems.
Location is a bit hard to find. It is on the first floor of the JAWS parking garage, all the way in the back corner. If you’re walking from hotels over on major boulevard, please see the map I provided. We cut across the grass and went through a parking garage exit and saved ourselves a lot of walking!
The staff seem to know where the kennels are, but there are no signs whatsoever.
Definitely worth $ 15 just to know my dog was safe in a cool kennel, not causing trouble at the hotel.
