Doggie daycare is available year-round, seven days a week including weekends, for dogs over eight weeks of age who are well socialized or learning to socialize. Our facility includes two outdoor play yards surrounded by a six-foot cedar fence and an indoor playroom for small dogs and inclement weather.
