Doggy daycare is a service that is designed not only to provide supervision over your dog, but to help exercise, socialize and stimulate him or her during the day when you’re not at home.

Doggie Daycare is designed for those people who love their dogs, but just don’t have the time to exercise, walk, and play with their dogs everyday.

Dogs are very social creatures that, when left alone for long periods of time, can show signs of separation anxiety, boredom, and even depression. These can manifest themselves in any number of ways from whimpering and barking to destructive behaviors like clawing at furniture and doors. Through the interaction with people and other dogs, regular visits to doggy daycare can make for a happier, less bored, and less destructive dog. At the end of each day, your dog will be more relaxed allowing you to cozy up and enjoy some nice quality time with him or her.

Our dogs are divided into supervised playgroups based on activity level and temperament.

A day in the life of a daycare camper

Your dog’s day starts when he or she is dropped off at our store between 7:30AM – 9AM. After check-in, dogs are walked and allowed to free play until the first organized play period. From 9AM – 12 PM, your dog will experience the first daily play period. Afterwards, your pooch will break for lunch and rest until the second play period. From 2PM to 5PM is the afternoon play period, after which your dog is taken for a second walk. We then feed dinner at 6PM and allow our campers free play until pickup.

Daycare Hours: 8:00AM – 9PM Mon - Sat, 9AM – 7PM Sun
