Why daycare?

More than a drop-off point.

Regularly attending an interactive doggy daycare can benefit your dog's health and wellbeing — better social skills, healthy weight, less separation anxiety, and a confidence boost, all just from playing with friends. Our goal is to create a space where your dog feels as relaxed and at home as they do with you.

Outdoor Play Yard

Fresh air, sunshine, and room to run — our outdoor yard gives dogs the open space they crave between rest periods.

Small, Hand-Selected Groups

We match dogs by size, temperament, and play style — never an unstructured free-for-all, so every dog feels safe and comfortable.

Enrichment Services

Treadmill, scent work, agility, and nutrition puzzles for dogs who thrive on one-on-one mental stimulation.

How It Works

From first visit to regular client

  1. Step 1

    Free temperament evaluation

    We start with a complimentary evaluation. Staff observe your dog's behavior in our evaluation room as they acclimate to the space, then bring in another dog from a distance and progressively close the gap as comfort increases.

Step 2 — Care begins

Group Play or Enrichment

Based on our evaluation your dog will either be eligible to join Group Play or will have the option to do Enrichment Play.

Group Play (if your dog thrives socially)
Supervised social play with size-and-temperament-matched groups. Separate play areas organized by dog size, with adjustments based on individual play style and energy level.
Enrichment Play (if your dog prefers quieter time)
One-on-one activities for dogs who don't thrive in group settings. Sensory play, gentle problem-solving, scent work, and treadmill or agility activities tailored to your dog.

FAQ

Common questions

Is daycare right for every dog?

Daycare is best for dogs who enjoy social settings or benefit from structured activity. If group play isn't a fit, our Enrichment program offers one-on-one alternatives.

What vaccines are required?

Rabies, Distemper (DAPP/DHPP or DA2PP), and Bordetella must be up to date every visit. Influenza is highly recommended.

Are there breaks during the day?

Yes — every dog gets a quiet rest period between 12:30pm and 1:30pm so they can recharge and avoid overstimulation.

Does my dog need to be spayed/neutered?

Dogs over 1 year old must be spayed or neutered (unless a vet advises otherwise).
