Unneutered dogs are welcome.
Many daycares won’t take dogs who aren’t spayed or neutered. We do, as long as they’re manageable and friendly with people.
- $10 per day for dogs over 6 months who aren’t spayed or neutered.
- Females in heat can’t be accepted.
- Friendly with people and manageable. If a dog has behavioral issues we can’t safely manage, we’re unable to accept them.
- Every dog, altered or not, completes a temperament evaluation, and any dog who needs more care than we can give or remains a continued distraction in the playroom can’t be accepted.

A full day is $48, a half day is $32, and Thursday full days are $42. Packages bring a full day down to as little as $33.60, and unlimited memberships to about $21 a day for dogs who come five days a week.
What’s the difference between a full and half day?

How are dogs grouped?
Mainly by size and temperament. Depending on temperament, some medium dogs may play with the small group, and the reverse.
Is daycare good for puppies?
We highly recommend our memberships for puppies and busy parents. Every puppy completes a temperament evaluation first, and must be up to date on vaccines.
What does my dog need to start?
Current Rabies, DHPP and Bordetella vaccines, a negative Giardia fecal test within the last 6 months, no fleas or ticks and no symptoms of illness. Leptospirosis is highly recommended. See the full list.
Can I tour the playrooms first?
We don’t offer tours, to keep the house calm for the dogs with us. Here’s why, and you can see the playrooms every day on Instagram.

- Free of any symptoms, including suspected allergies. Coughing, sneezing or runny eyes can be an undiagnosed upper respiratory infection, so please wait until your vet has cleared your dog.
