New Dogs

Any dog joining us for the first time is required to start out with an interview day before signing up for any regular daycare or boarding services. The interview is a trial day of daycare during which we conduct a temperament test and slowly integrate your pup into one of our play groups to participate in group play. Interviews are held Monday through Friday by appointment only, and they last for a minimum of 4 hours. You are not expected to wait at the facility during the interview, and you are welcome to leave your pup with us for more than the 4-hour minimum at no additional charge. All dogs coming into the facility must be at least 4 months old and up to date on rabies, distemper and Bordetella. If you would like to sign your dog up for an interview day, please use the Parent Portal link to create a Gingr profile for you and your dog. When we see that a new profile has been created, we will email you with our next available date for an interview reservation.

DAYCARE

Our experienced team strives to provide a safe and stimulating play environment for each day camper. With outside and indoor playgrounds, Paws In Play believes that PLAY is what we get paid to offer. It is our responsibility to offer a safe and fun atmosphere that not only gives the dogs the exercise they need but also the sociability that comes with being a social animal. We understand that some dogs may need breaks or alone time and we have plenty of comfy and cozy areas set up for relaxation!

We require reservations at least 24 hours in advance for all dogs coming in for daycare. Most dogs do not need to bring lunch or snacks to daycare with them unless there is a medical reason. All dogs are required to check in between 6AM and 11AM for safety reasons.

Training

Please see the “Training” section for more information about the trainers who will be partnering with Paws in Play to meet your dog’s training needs. These trainers will be using our facility after hours to host their group classes.

Boarding

Overnight stays are available by appointment only, 24/7/365 with no blackout dates. Our “open play” environment allows your dog to participate in all daycare activities throughout the day with extended off-hours play in the evenings. Each overnight guest is provided with a private suite in our boarding room to sleep, relax, and enjoy their meals in. We are not currently staffed overnight. Our staff stay on site until all boarding dogs are settling in for bed at 8PM, and we come back in at 6AM the following morning.

All boarding guests are expected to come in with enough food to last the duration of their stay and any necessary medication. We do not accept toys, bedding or food bowls as we provide these items in house. All dogs are required to check in between 6AM and 11AM for safety reasons.
