Every Dog Deserves a Great Day
From tiny adventurers to high-energy athletes, our daycare programs are built around safe socialization, enrichment, exercise, and professional supervision.
Tiny Paws, Big Energy
Our small dog play zones are designed specifically for little dogs to thrive. With shaded turf, splash zones, indoor lounges, enrichment activities, and hands-on attention from staff, small dogs enjoy a safe environment tailored to their size and personality. Whether they're sprinting across the field, splashing in the water, or relaxing with friends, every day is packed with fun and engagement.
Under 10 lbs & 11–35 lbsBig Dogs, Bigger Adventures
Built for dogs 35 pounds and up, our large dog groups enjoy spacious outdoor play areas, toys, shade structures, splash zones, and structured social interaction. Whether they're chasing toys, cooling off, making new friends, or simply stretching their legs, our goal is to provide healthy outlets for energy while promoting confidence and social skills.
35+ PoundsGroup Play Sessions
Looking for something calmer than traditional daycare? Our Group Play sessions provide a lower-key experience designed for overnight guests or dogs who thrive with smaller groups and more individualized attention. Play sessions are thoughtfully scheduled throughout the day, balancing social interaction, enrichment, and downtime to keep stress low and enjoyment high.
Calm • Personalized • StructuredOpen Early. Home Happy.
Daycare begins bright and early with drop-off available from 6:30 AM and pick-up available until 6:30 PM. Whether your dog spends the day playing, learning, exploring, or simply enjoying the company of friends, our mission remains the same: send them home fulfilled, exercised, confident, and ready to relax.
For puppies between 4 and 12 months old, we offer a dedicated play experience designed to support their early development. With group sizes kept small—never more than 15 dogs—we create a safe, structured space where young pups can learn healthy social habits, build confidence, and burn off that endless energy. While spaying and neutering isn’t required until one year of age, females must sit out during heat cycles for safety. It’s a smart start for growing dogs who are ready to play, learn, and thrive.
The Crew Behind the Wagging Tails
Our daycare team is made up of experienced dog handlers who know how to create a safe, structured, and fun environment for every pup. With a strong understanding of canine behavior, group dynamics, and dog-to-dog communication, they do more than supervise — they guide each dog toward healthier play, better confidence, and stronger responsiveness throughout the day.
1 The Perfect Fix for a Busy Schedule
While you’re working, running errands, or handling life, your dog can spend the day burning energy, staying engaged, and having fun at either of our locations. You’ll pick up a pup who’s happy, fulfilled, and ready to relax at home.
2 Social Skills That Stick
Dogs thrive with the right kind of social structure. Daycare helps them learn appropriate play, communication, confidence, and self-control in a safe, supervised environment.
3 No More Lonely Days
Instead of spending the day home alone, your dog gets attention, affection, movement, and positive human interaction from our team. At both locations, our staff works to make every dog feel cared for.
4 Professional Supervision That Matters
Our team understands canine body language, play styles, and group dynamics. Dogs are grouped by size, temperament, and play style so they can enjoy the day with proper structure and supervision.
5 A Healthy Outlet for Energy and Boredom
Chewing, digging, barking, and restless behavior often come from pent-up energy and boredom. Daycare gives your dog a healthy outlet through play, enrichment, social interaction, and supervised activity.
Drop-Off & Pick-Up Hours
Dogs may be dropped off and picked up during normal business hours at their scheduled location.
Before joining our Daycare or Group Play programs, all new dogs complete a simple approval process. This helps us maintain a safe, structured, and enjoyable environment for every dog in our care.
✂️ Spayed or Neutered
All dogs participating in group play must be spayed or neutered unless enrolled in an approved puppy program.
💉 Vaccinations
Current vaccinations and effective flea/tick prevention are required for all participating dogs.
🐾 Temperament
Dogs should be social, manageable, and free from serious aggression or severe behavioral concerns.

Keep Them Clean After a Day of Play
Our outdoor play yards, splash zones, and enrichment activities are a blast—but sometimes all that fun leaves dogs looking a little rough around the edges. Our team always does their best to send dogs home looking great, but some pups need a little extra cleanup after a full day of outdoor play, swimming, and adventures.
🛁 Daycare Baths
Perfect for dogs who love mud, water, and outdoor adventures. Send them home fresh, clean, and smelling great.
✨ Bath & Freshen-Up Services
Our bath team can provide baths, blow-drying, brushing, and general cleanup to help your dog head home looking and smelling their best.
⏰ Convenient Scheduling
Most daycare baths are scheduled later in the day so your dog can enjoy a full day of activities before being cleaned up.
