Daycare

What is Doggie Daycare?

Doggie daycare is a great way for your dog to have socialization and exercise. By nature, dogs are pack animals, and benefit greatly from play time with other dogs. It can help soothe separation anxiety and build confidence. There’s no need to leave your pet alone during the day!

Reservations are required. 24-hour notice is required for cancellations. No-shows will be charged $27 for the full day.

New to daycare?

Our first priority while your pet is here for doggie daycare is safety. All dogs are under constant staff supervision while playing. All dogs attending daycare are carefully screened to ensure they will make good playmates for your dog. Feel free to ask us any questions you may have about your dog attending doggie daycare before you make a reservation.

Call us at (518) 346 – 2030 to schedule your dog for a daycare evaluation or ask us any questions!

What does the evaluation entail?

At the evaluation you and your pet will meet with a member of our kennel team. We’ll briefly discuss your dog’s history, including their experiences with other dogs.

The kennel handler will bring your dog back to the playgroup for a slow introduction to the other dogs one by one. Your dog will be carefully screened to see how they enjoy being around dogs of different genders, sizes, and personalities. If you’d like you can observe your dog with the group after the evaluation is complete. The evaluation must be conducted alone so that we may see how your pet acts without you present.

If your dog does well in our doggie daycare, they can stay for the day if we have availability.

If doggie daycare isn’t a good option for your dog, consider The Wallflower Package!
