Doggy Daycare

From Zoomies to Nap Time — A Fun, Stress-Free Environment for Happy Pups

Our in-home doggy daycare provides a safe, fun, and enriching experience for your pup while you're at work or managing a busy schedule. Designed to ensure your dog gets the exercise, socialization, and attention they need throughout the day, this service is the perfect solution for pet parents whose schedules don’t align with traditional daycare facilities or who prefer more personalized care for their fur babies. We offer flexible drop-off and pick-up times to accommodate your unique schedule, whether you need to drop off early or pick up later in the evening. For added convenience, we also provide pet taxi services, with our pet sitters available to pick up and drop off your dog, ensuring they can enjoy all the benefits of in-home doggy daycare, no matter how busy your day may be. 


Unlike typical daycare centers that require kennel time, our in-home service allows your dog to stay in a comfortable, home-like environment, with plenty of space to roam, play, and relax—no kennels necessary. Your pup will enjoy personalized care and attention, tailored to their needs, while you can focus on your day without any worries. Our pet parents consistently rave about how tired and content their dogs are after a day of in-home doggy daycare, as their pups spend more time enjoying fun activities and socializing, with far less time spent cooped up in kennels. 


Our daycare activities include playtime in the yard, invigorating dog walks, engaging enrichment toys, and fun fetch games. On warm days, many of our dog sitters offer a kiddie pool for your dog to cool off and have even more fun. After a full day of activity, your pup can unwind with some cozy snuggle time on the couch with their favorite pet sitter. Your dog will make new friends, and you'll receive regular photos and updates, so you can stay connected. We treat your fur baby like family, giving you the peace of mind to say goodbye to any guilt you used to feel about leaving them home alone all day. 


Our professional pet sitters are insured, bonded, background checked, and certified in pet care, first aid, and CPR, ensuring that your dog is in safe, capable hands throughout their stay. Before you complete payment, we provide a complimentary meet n greet at your sitter's home, so you can feel confident in the care your pup will receive. This is the perfect opportunity to ask any questions, tour the environment, and ensure that your fur baby feels comfortable with their pet sitter. Book daycare today to give your pup a day full of fun, adventure, and love—because they deserve it!

Before You Book: Doggy Daycare Guide

What to Bring to Drop-Off

  • Leash


  • Collar With Tags


  • Harness (if applicable)


  • Food (if applicable) 


Please consult with your pet sitter regarding any necessary items such as bowls, toys, treats, crates, or bedding. They may already have these essentials available for your pet's use. 

Doggy Daycare Durations

  • Half Day (4hrs or Less)


  • Full Day (Between 4 and 10 Hours)

 

  • Extended Full Day (10 Hours or More)

Doggy Daycare Hours

  • Monday-Friday: 6:30am-9pm


  • Saturday-Sunday: 7am-9pm 


  • Holidays: 7am-9pm

These are our standard hours, but please keep in mind that availability may vary depending on the assigned pet sitter, as some sitters offer longer or shorter hours. We will assign the pet sitter who best matches your schedule and your pet’s needs. You can visit Our Pet Sitters page linked below to view each sitter’s specific hours. If your schedule falls outside of our regular availability, don’t hesitate to reach out—we’ll do our best to accommodate your needs. 


The drop-off and pick-up times you reserve must be as accurate as possible, as they are used to determine the cost of your pet’s stay. Our pet sitters strive to be flexible, so if your plans change, please inform your sitter as soon as possible to discuss adjustments and potential reservation modifications.


Many of our pet sitters also provide drop-in visits and dog walking services for other clients. If another booking overlaps with your scheduled drop-off or pick-up time, your sitter will notify you so you can coordinate the most convenient time. We appreciate your flexibility, and in return, our pet sitters will do their best to accommodate your needs.

Our Pet Sitters

No Call/No Show Fee

We charge a $35 per hour no call/no show fee for clients who arrive more than 15 minutes early or late for their scheduled drop-off or pick-up time without prior communication with their pet sitter. These scheduled times help pet sitters plan both their personal and professional commitments, including drop-in visits, dog walks, and pet taxis outside of their homes. To avoid this fee, please notify your sitter in advance of any changes to your arrival time and receive confirmation that they can accommodate the adjustment. Simply letting your sitter know that you are on your way does not provide enough clarity, as they do not know your starting location or estimated travel time. Clear communication is essential, so if you will be more than 15 minutes early or late, you must explicitly inform your sitter and receive their confirmation to avoid the no call/no show fee. If you are more than an hour late for your scheduled boarding or daycare drop-off without notifying your pet sitter, your booking will be canceled and deemed non-refundable. Additionally, a $35 no-call/no-show fee will be charged. 


This policy is in place to respect and support our pet sitters' well-being. While they are passionate about caring for animals, it is important to recognize that providing in-home pet care does not mean they forfeit privacy in their own space. We kindly ask that you respect your pet sitter’s time, schedule, and home. Your cooperation helps create a positive and balanced experience for both your pet sitter and the pets they lovingly care for. Thank you for your understanding and support!

Additional Services

Emergencies

While we strive to minimize potential issues by requiring meet n greets and, when necessary, trial stays, we understand that not every dog adjusts seamlessly to a new environment. We encourage you to have a backup plan in place in case the stay does not go as expected. In rare circumstances, your dog may need to be boarded elsewhere or transitioned to a homestay to ensure their comfort and well-being.
