Golden Retriever Dog Daycare in Burlington
we know Golden Retrievers. Friendly, social, playful, and full of energy — Goldens thrive in environments where they can run, wrestle, nap, and repeat. That’s exactly what we offer.
Owned and operated by Tara and Dave, Playday Pups is a boutique dog daycare in Burlington with a big fenced yard, two indoor play spaces, and a small, curated group of friendly dogs. Your Golden Retriever won’t just be supervised — they’ll be part of our pack.
🐾 Why Golden Retrievers Love Playday Pups
-
Room to Run – Our backyard is Golden-approved: wide open, fully fenced, and great for fetch, zoomies, and group play.
-
Structured Play & Breaks – Goldens are active but benefit from scheduled downtime. We mix playtime with chill-out time so they don’t get overstimulated.
-
Friendly Playmates Only – We only accept dogs that are social, friendly, and well-matched. Your Golden will be surrounded by other good-natured pups.
-
Indoor Comfort – Two indoor areas mean your dog stays comfy and dry on rainy days. One space for play, one for rest.
-
Human Touch – We’re always with the dogs. Not just watching — engaging, managing energy levels, and making sure everyone is safe and happy.
🏡 Boutique Daycare With a Personal Touch
Playday Pups started in our home during the pandemic. We’ve grown, but our vibe hasn’t changed. We keep our groups small and our care personal. Every dog is known by name — and most of our regulars are Golden Retrievers, Labs, Shepherds, or mixes of them all.
Our location on Advance Road (near Guelph Line & Mainway) makes drop-off and pick-up easy, and we’re open every day from 6 AM to 8 PM.
✨ How to Join
We require a meet and greet for all new dogs. It’s a short visit with you and your Golden, usually on a Monday or Friday evening between 6–8 PM. After that, we typically start with a trial half day or day.
