Dogs get unlimited play within customized groups, devised for their comfort and enjoyment. Our unique set-up allows us to hand pick groups to ensure healthy play between dogs that get along. Groups change daily depending on dogs attending and their moods on that day.

Dog Wranglers provide constant supervision as well as cuddle time and games of fetch. There are also Little Tykes play sets, an automatic tennis ball machine and a bubble machine for those with extra energy and dexterity. All dogs get a much appreciated nap between 12:00 noon and 2:00 p.m. Those less social dogs are rotated between kennel runs and individual playpens with one or two specially chosen playmates.

Full Day
7:00 a.m - 8:00 p.m.

Half Day
Up to five hours. A less expensive alternative for those who still want their dogs to blow off some steam. These dogs may or may not get a nap.

Workout
Up to two hours. Lets your dog work off excess energy while you work off yours at the gym or by running errands.

Field Trips
Customized, extracurricular activities such as hikes and romps on the beach. All dogs are on leash except for the hikes. Limit of one or two dogs per outing. Usually lasts one to two hours.

Sleep-Overs 
[okay, boarding]
All the benefits of Playcare plus meals, any special medication and overnight care. Boarding dogs get out for walks once a day with a Dog Wrangler. Dogs sleep in kennel runs or crates with their housemates or a friend. Beds are provided for non-destructive dogs and blankets for those who like to chew on their bedding. Lights are out from 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. A Dog Wrangler sleeps on the premises so your dog is never left alone.
