Daycare for dogs who love it.
Give your dog opportunities for play, exploration, and social experiences throughout the day. We consider each dog's temperament and play style when determining whether daycare is an appropriate fit. Daycare is selective.
Daycare is for dogs only, Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and depends on a social assessment and our approval.
The daycare day
Eligible dogs enjoy supervised play, social time and enrichment matched to their temperament and play style. Play is supervised throughout the day.
Play groups are based on temperament and size, and group sizes vary with how many social dogs are with us that day. Not every dog enjoys group play, and personalities don’t always match. If daycare isn’t the right fit, boarding add-ons like one-on-one time and adventure walks often are.
Daycare runs Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Pickup after 5:00 PM is possible, but dogs who aren’t picked up by 6:30 PM stay for overnight boarding. The boarding night is charged on top of that day’s daycare fee.
Full day
$35
Half day
$25
Half day is under 5 hours.
The social assessment
Every dog completes a social assessment before joining daycare. It takes about two hours and costs $20. We look at your dog’s overall temperament, play style and ability to listen.
Never boarded before, or a little anxious? A half day of daycare with the assessment is the gentlest way to start. Your dog meets us, then heads home fairly quickly, so their first visit is a positive one.
Submitting a request does not guarantee approval. Dogs must be low-risk and non-aggressive to take part, and participation is evaluated continually. We may pause or end daycare if a dog’s behavior or other circumstances call for it.
Spay and neuter
All dogs over nine months are strongly encouraged to be spayed or neutered. For daycare, it is required after one year of age.
Exceptions may be considered for younger puppies. Earlier spaying or neutering may be required when hormone-related behavior affects the group. Daycare remains subject to assessment and approval.
