Keeping your furry family member safe and happy is our top priority. Before your dog can attend our daycare, we will conduct a meet & greet with your dog to determine if they are comfortable in our open play environment.  Trial days are charged at the daycare rate.

Your dog’s safety and comfort is our number one priority. We ensure your dog will have a fun-filled day no matter what the weather may bring!

  • When the weather gets too hot, cold or rainy we take the fun inside to our indoor play area.
  • We understand that not all breeds are naturally suited for outdoor play when the weather gets cooler. That’s why we provide high quality coats for your dog to wear so they can play around outside with their friends in comfort.
  • On sunny summer days, we fill up our pools for those who love to splash around and provide plenty of shaded areas for dogs to take a break in.

Puppies must be at least 12 weeks old and must have completed the necessary vaccinations.

The amount of overnight guests is very much limited. We do try provide overnight and holidays for our regular customers (mean they regularly attending day care).

We will provide holidays for extra customers if there is availability. Please book in advance, especially if is going about period of school or national holidays .

We love and care for our furry clients as if they are our own. That is why we believe in cage free overnight stay. After a full day of play, we will bring your dog home with us to stay the night in the comfort of our home.
