Dog Daycare Redefined
Evenings with your dog will be easier and more enjoyable when your dog is both mentally and physically tired after a structured day of play.
Our group environment is small and playgroups are curated to maximize your dog’s satisfaction and fun while in our care. Our doggy daycare experience is professionally-designed enrichment-based constructive time spent with top notch, trained and experienced, caretakers. Daycare includes not only playtime with friends, but enrichment activities, training time, physical challenges like agility games, and a variety of other activities.
Our enrichment-based daycare service is available seven days a week, including holidays. A 10% weekend surcharge applies on Saturday & Sunday daycare and a holiday surcharge of 15% applies for daycare on holidays. Modified schedules may also apply on holidays.
Want to make your dog feel extra special for a special occasion (or any occasion)? Don’t miss our Ultimate Enrichment Experience for a day of pampering and one-on-one attention and activities customized for your dog.
Enrichment-Based Doggy Day School
Our clients tell us they refer to our daycare experience as “sending their pup to school.” This is not your average doggy daycare environment with eight hours of doggy chaos – it’s a small group, supervised, structured play experience designed to engage, teach, tire, and socialize your dog.
Puppy (under 1 year old) daycare includes frequent outside potty breaks and reinforcement of proper potty behavior/house breaking, basic crate training, and group & individual work on basic obedience commands. (For problem behaviors or more involved puppy training, including more targeted bite inhibition with humans, full crate training or work on separation anxiety, inquire about our board & train options.)
Pre-arranged drop off time for daycare is between 7-9am and pick up is between 4-9pm. (Extra charges apply for daycare days longer than 10 hours.)
School bus service (pick-up and drop-off) for daycare is also available for $15 each way within 5 miles of our facility.
Weekly and monthly discounted packages are available for daycare, including memberships for monthly unlimited daycare services.

Boarding
Whether you are traveling for business or pleasure, your pet deserves to be well cared for and treated like family. When you board with A Way With Dogs, your dog will stay safely overnight and participate in our daycare program during the day. You can feel confident we will tend to both your pet’s physical and psychological needs while you are gone.
A 10% weekend surcharge applies on Friday & Saturday night boarding, and a holiday surcharge of 15% applies for daycare on holidays. Modified schedules may also apply on holidays.
Stay and Play (Overnight boarding)
Bring your dog for a pajama party with their friends at A Way With Dogs! Your dog will stay with us overnight in a comfortable, homey environment where they will sleep in a crate, or on a dog bed or couch, in accordance with their home routine. Your dog will have breakfast and dinner with us and participate in our enrichment daycare (see above) during the day.
This is a 24 hour service charged by the night. For services over 24 hours, a full or half day of daycare will be added. (For example, if your dog is dropped off at noon and picked up at 5pm the following day, a half day daycare charge of $20 will be included on the invoice.)
Add pick-up or drop off to any boarding service for $10 each way for locations within 7 miles of our facility.
