Playcare
What is Playcare?
Welcome to Playcare, where your dog’s experience goes far beyond that of typical doggy daycare!
Our expansive facility is dedicated not only to keeping your dog active and engaged but also fostering socialization and training in a fun, stimulating environment
Here, dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and temperaments- from the shy to the outgoing, from the energetic to snuggly- find activities suited perfectly to their needs. We focus on building their social skills, confidence, good manners, and agility skills all while ensuring they have a blast.
Our expert team is trained to understand and interpret dog body language and behavior, ensuring every interaction is “fear-free” and personalized to each dog’s unique personality.
At Playcare, your dog will receive the attention and care they deserve while making new friends, learning new skills, and thoroughly enjoying their time with us.
What are Playgroups Like?
Each Playgroup is carefully composed of dogs with similar personalities, sizes, and activity levels, and they enjoy approximately 50 minute sessions of continuous play throughout the day
Your dog will move between activity zones within our expansive facility, which includes over 42,000 square feet of outdoor space and 3,000 square feet of climate-controlled play areas
Activity time is interspersed with short breaks for rest, cooling off, and enjoying a drink or a snackThe specific zones your dog visits are tailored to the Playcare level you choose, the other friends that have joined us that day, and where your dog feels most comfortable, all under the continuous supervision of our Playcare Team of Specialists.
What is the Splash Zone?
The Splash Zone is our waterpark designed just for dogs!
What truly sets us apart from your typical doggy daycare is our exclusive Splash Zone- a waterpark created just for dogs! This carefully supervised play area includes a zero-entry slash pad with fountains, bubblers, deck jets, and a cascading waterfall that leads into a 42-inch deep jetted lazy river, a perfect space for even the largest dogs to swim and play
Heated to a comfortable 75 degrees year-round and disinfected with salt-generated chlorine and water scrubbers, the Splash Zone is gentle enough for dogs with the most sensitive skin while meeting the highest commercial pool standards.
Each Splash Zone Playgroup enjoys 45-60 minutes of water fun, and after their session, each dog receives a fresh-water rinse and towel dry to ensure they leave happy and refreshed
Full Bath and Grooming is available at our Pet Spa, too.
What other activities are available?
Beyond the Splash Zone, our facility boasts over 42,000 square feet of outdoor play space, making it a true haven for dogs who love to run, explore, and engage in a variety of activities
Our outdoor area features a full agility and activity park where dogs can build confidence and burn energy as they navigate through tunnels, jumps, and weave poles.
There’s also a large field perfect for running with friends or enjoying a game of fetch, as well as smaller open spaces where dogs can relax and sunbathe
For those who love a more natural setting, our tree-filled “backyard” offers a serene environment for sniffing, exploring, and unwinding
Complementing this extensive outdoor space is our over 3,000 square foot climate-controlled training center. Here, dogs participate in structured training sessions and games, learning new skills and good manners in a comfortable environment, regardless of the weather outside.
This blend of outdoor playtime and focused training ensures that every dog leaves our facility not only happy and exercised but also enriched and well-behaved
