DAYCARE
FOR HAPPY DOGS.
Temperament-matched play groups, trained staff, and plenty of room to run — so your dog gets home tired and happy. Every time.
HOURS
COME AND GO,
ALL DAY LONG.
Weekday daycare doesn't require reservations — drop off and pick up whenever works for you during open hours (as long as your dog has passed their evaluation).
Every Weekday
Mon–Fri
7:00 AM – 12:00 PM
1:30 PM – 6:00 PM
No reservations needed for evaluated dogs — come and go as your day allows.
Midday Naptime
12:00 – 1:30 PM
We close for naptime so every dog gets a quiet, kenneled rest. No drop-off or pick-up during the break.
Closed for Holidays
Daycare is closed on: New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas Day.

Social Play All Day
Group play builds social confidence and delivers a happier dog at pickup.
Trained Supervision
Our team watches every playgroup across a large indoor and outdoor facility.
Real-World Manners
Staff reinforce commands all day — especially "come" — so play stays controlled.

DAYCARE FAQ
DAYCARE QUESTIONS, ANSWERED.
What to expect before your pup's first day in the pack.
Does my dog need an evaluation before attending daycare?
Yes. Every new dog begins with a free evaluation from 9 to 11 AM. This helps us determine whether group play is a good fit and find the right playgroup for your dog.
How are daycare play groups organized?
Dogs are grouped according to their size, temperament, energy level, and play style. Our trained team supervises each group throughout the day.
Do I need to make a daycare reservation?
Once your dog has completed their evaluation, reservations are not required during the week. You can drop off and pick up during our open hours. Weekend daycare does require a reservation.
What are daycare hours?
Daycare is available Monday through Friday from 7 AM to 12 PM and 1:30 to 6 PM. The facility closes midday to give the dogs time to rest.
How old does my puppy need to be?
Dogs must be at least 16 weeks old to participate in daycare and must meet our vaccination and health requirements.
Do you offer daycare memberships?
Yes. We offer several monthly membership options for half-day and full-day daycare. Memberships provide discounted rates and perks such as a complimentary monthly nail trim.
