Why Choose Playday Pups

Dog Daycare?

Safe. Structured. Supervised. Always.

We keep your pup happy, balanced, and engaged with a structured daily routine. The day includes scheduled breaks around 11:00 AM, nap time from 1:00–3:00 PM, and a calm wind-down starting at 4:30 PM. Dogs are thoughtfully grouped by energy level and temperament to ensure a safe, positive experience. With small group sizes and a low 1:5 staff-to-dog ratio, every dog gets the attention they need—including those with special requirements or medications, even injectables. Open 7 days a week with flexible hours, we’re here to make life easier for you and more fun for your dog.

Personalized Care in Safe, Social Groups

Our groups are capped at around 15 dogs with a 7:1 dog-to-Tara-and-Dave ratio, ensuring every pup gets plenty of attention and hands-on care. Every dog is carefully vetted for friendliness and social skills, so your pup spends their day in a safe, happy, and well-matched pack. Whether they’re energetic or easygoing, we make sure they feel comfortable and cared for.

Thoughtful, Hands-On Care—Every Step of the Way

We don’t just watch dogs—we truly get to know them. Every new pup is introduced slowly and individually to our pack, ensuring a smooth, stress-free transition. We feed all dogs separately to prevent resource guarding and promote a calm, respectful environment. From daily routines to special care, Tara and Dave do things with intention—because your dog deserves more than just supervision; they deserve thoughtful care.

We Genuinely Care—About Every Dog and Every Family

We believe every dog deserves a chance to thrive, and we welcome all friendly pups—young or old, energetic, shy, nervous, or differently abled. We take the time to understand each dog's needs and treat them like part of our extended family. Just as important, we’re dependable—you can count on us to be there, providing consistent care and support you can trust.

Playday Pups Vaccine Requirements
Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella

We prioritize the health and safety of all our furry guests. To ensure a safe environment for everyone, we require all dogs to be up-to-date on their vaccinations. Specifically, we mandate proof of vaccination for Rabies, DHPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parainfluenza, and Parvovirus), and Bordetella (commonly known as the kennel cough vaccine). These vaccinations help protect not only your dog but also their playmates from preventable illnesses. Please provide current vaccination records prior to your dog's first visit to help us maintain a healthy and happy pack!
