Dog Daycare

Our daycare day is designed to balance play, rest, and care for every dog in a safe, enriching environment. While daily routines adjust slightly based on boarding volumes and weather, the following describes what a typical day looks like:

• Arrival window: Daycare dogs arrive between 7:00 AM and 9:00 AM.
• Morning play: We begin assembling daycare groups and taking dogs outside between 9:15 AM and 10:00 AM. Dogs are collected and brought back inside around 11:15 AM to 11:45 AM for water and rest.  We will flex our daily ending time later to make up for when daycare begins later, which naturally occurs in the flow of our year.
• Midday break: After morning play, dogs enjoy lunch or treats and nap comfortably in their individual kennels to recharge for the afternoon. During this time, our staff also cleans and prepares all areas to ensure a fresh, comfortable environment.
• Afternoon play: We start taking dogs out for afternoon play at 2:15 PM, with dogs collected and brought back inside between 3:45 PM and 4:15 PM.
• Pick-up window: Dogs are ready to go home between 4:30 PM and 6:00 PM.

Throughout the day, dogs have access to our dedicated daycare building equipped with heating, air conditioning, and fresh water to ensure comfort in all seasons. In the summer months, we also offer pools during playtime to help dogs cool off.

Due to several factors that fluctuate day-to-day, the exact start and end times for outdoor sessions may vary. When that happens, we adjust by extending both morning and afternoon play as needed, ensuring dogs still receive a full, high-quality daycare experience with plenty of activity and care. We generally aim for more than 3.5+ hours or more of total supervised playtime per day, with a mix of group play, individual attention, and rest.

• Dogs in daycare typically enjoy more than 3.5+ hours or more of supervised playtime each day, divided into a morning and afternoon session.

These times can vary slightly based on boarding volume, weather, and other factors, but we adjust to ensure dogs receive ample play, enrichment, and care each day.

•  Our daycare groups are carefully structured based on the size of the dogs, their play style, and temperament. On average:

• Small dog groups: Typically 5 to 15 dogs, all small in size, supervised by at least one staff member.
  • Large dog groups: Up to 20 large dogs, supervised by two staff members.

Group sizes and pairings are adjusted as needed to ensure safe, comfortable, and positive play.

•  Yes. If your dog is already enrolled in recurring weekly daycare, you are eligible for special discounted pricing on additional daycare days. If it is a new day your dog has not attended before, we will first conduct a one-time evaluation to ensure a good fit for that group and day — this evaluation is also offered at the discounted rate.

Please contact us in advance to schedule, and we will confirm availability and apply the discounted pricing for both the evaluation and the additional day.

All new daycare clients begin with an evaluation day, which costs $45. This includes a full day of daycare and a personalized behavioral assessment to ensure your dog is a good fit for our program and to determine the most appropriate group placement.

At the end of the evaluation, we will publish a detailed report in your portal and send it directly to you for your review, so you can understand how your dog did and what we recommend moving forward.
