ALL ABOUT DOGGY DAYCARE

Fun, Friends & Comfort

Learn what we have to offer with doggy daycare and see the steps to make your first booking

Doggy daycare is a great option for a lot of dogs! If you have a busy day coming up, send your dog to us where they'll have a fun filled day of activities and a safe place to rest. Daycare is also a wonderful way to socialize your new puppy and provide plenty of exercise and mental stimulation, think of it as a big play date! While your dog is staying with us, they'll enjoy a free roam, home like environment with plenty of amenities, fun interactions and extra TLC. Inside the house, our guests like lounging on the couches, watching T.V., playing with toys and so much more. We also keep beds and blankets accessible around the house, so your dog always has a place to rest. Dogs are supervised throughout the day; gates, playpens and crates are used to separate dogs during times they aren't supervised (crates are only used if your dog is crate trained). If you prefer your dog be in a private room during these times, please let us know. When it's time to go outside, your dog will be let out in our fenced yard and supervised the entire time. Dogs can go outside alone or with friends, depending on what you prefer. We also provide long leashes for dogs who may be prone to digging under and/or jumping over, so they're able to enjoy the yard safely. Time outside is not limited unless weather conditions become potentially harmful for the dogs. When it's time to eat, we feed every dog as close to their usual feeding times as possible and they're all given their own area to eat.

 Relax

Now that you've dropped them off its time to relax! 

When your pet arrives, they'll have time to explore, sniff around and go to the bathroom. Once your pet is relaxed, we start one-on-one supervised introductions with our current guests. After successful introductions, your pet will be roaming freely with their new friends!
