ABOUT THE PLAYGROUND:
Crate Free
We offer an indoor and outdoor space for your dog to play while you are away. The day is filled with playtime, nap time, socialization and groovy vibes. The dogs always come first, and we pride ourselves on having the happiest pack around.
Safe Environment
The Playground capacity is limited to ensure your dog has room to play safely and run freely. In the 10 years that the daycare has been open, we’ve never had a dog fight. The playground is our home away from home, and we strive for your dogs to feel the same way!
Knowledgeable Staff
Founder and owner, Gert, is a certified trainer that is happy to provide your with nutritional and training advice if needed. She is also a certified dog masseuse, she will give all the dogs massages.
Birthday Parties
We celebrate birthdays! On your dog’s birthday we serve cake, cupcakes or cookies to each of the dogs. We also have “Wig-Wednesday” monthly where we have a “who wore it better.”
