A happier kind of daycare
Small groups. Big yard. Real naps.
Most daycares run one giant room of dogs all day. We split our 6,000 square feet into three play zones, so shy seniors are never trampled by teenage labs, and everyone gets a proper midday rest.
- One handler for every 10 dogs, never more
- Covered outdoor yard with rain-friendly turf
- Quiet nap suites with orthopaedic beds
- Photo and video pupdates in the app twice a day

Love letters
The humans are happy too
“Juniper used to cry at the door when I left for work. Now she drags me to the club in the morning and sleeps like a log all evening.”
“Our rescue is scared of everything, especially grooming. Sofia took it so slowly. He came home fluffy, calm and wearing a bandana.”
“The midday photos are the best part of my workday. My whole team now asks what Waffles is up to.”
Questions
Good questions from good humans
What vaccines does my dog need?
Current rabies, DHPP and Bordetella. Bordetella must be given at least five days before the first visit. We also recommend the canine influenza vaccine.
Does my dog need to be spayed or neutered?
Yes, for daycare from seven months of age. Intact dogs are welcome for grooming, walks and Puppy Kindergarten.
What if my dog does not like daycare?
Some dogs simply prefer quieter days, and that is fine. We will tell you honestly after the trial and suggest walks or half days instead.
What happens if a dog gets hurt?
Our handlers are first-aid certified and our partner vet, Leary Animal Hospital, is two blocks away. We call you immediately for anything beyond a scratch.
Do you offer pickup and drop-off?
Yes. Our shuttle covers Ballard, Fremont, Phinney Ridge and Wallingford for $12 each way.
Your dog's first day is on us.
