Our Story
Every pet parent has faced that pang of guilt and anxiety when parting with their beloved fur babies. Jay Floyd, our founder, deeply resonated with this sentiment. While searching for a boarding solution for his cherished rottweiler, Sophie, Jay realized there was a gap in the market for a place where pets could have as much fun as their parents. Hence, The Ark was conceived. Envisioned as a sanctuary, The Ark is an all-encompassing pet haven, offering everything from a luxurious spa to an exciting daycare. Since our foundation in 2006, our mission has been to create a space where pets of all shapes and sizes feel cherished and safe.

ABOUT US
Our Story
Pet parents know the feeling. That awful guilt and anxiety that creeps up whenever you have to leave a pet. But imagine… not feeling that.
Our founder Jay Floyd was feeling pet stressed when he and his family began researching boarding options for their beloved rottweiler, Sophie. They were leaving town on a short vacation, but everywhere they looked, they got the sneaking suspicion that Sophie wouldn’t be having as much fun as them during their time off.
To fill this gap, Jay set out to create a safe harbor for pets — a fun place where their parents wouldn’t feel an ounce of guilt leaving them for the day or for the week. The Ark would be an all-inclusive pet hotel, spa and daycare where all creatures great and small could feel safe and loved, from dogs and cats to hamsters and lizards. A place where dogs could socialize and play; where pets and parents alike looked forward to a visit; and where each animal’s unique needs would be considered.
In 2006, Jay built his Ark. And the animals arrived.
