Come Join our Playgroup

We believe in fostering social play and mental stimulation, balanced with rest and relaxation.  At The Dog House, your pup will be grouped with other dogs of similar size and temperament in playgroups designed to promote constructive play.  With over 2,000 sq. ft. of play floor and rotating toys and play equipment, it's the perfect place for your furriest best friend to get the wiggles out.  We also provide periods of rest in runs, kennels, or smaller play areas to promote stress reduction and allow for relaxation.  For the well-being of our dogs and pup parents, our ventilation system is specifically designed for animal care facilities to provide higher filtration and a temperature-controlled climate.  Our goal at The Dog House is always to provide a stimulating, enjoyable, and safe environment for your furry friends.  Since we're locally owned and operated, you can trust that we are always here to answer your questions and address any concerns directly.

Initial Visit

Your dog will be closely evaluated prior to their first stay during a two-hour temperament test. We will introduce them to a space next to, but screened from, our main play area and gradually introduce your pet to selected other dogs. We'll discuss our observations with you and let you know what we think might be a good fit for your dog. There is no charge for the temperament test, but applicable daycare fees will apply for dogs staying longer than two hours.

Reservations

​Reservations are currently only required for overnight boarding.  However, we are a small facility, and space can fill up quickly. If daycare is important for you on a particular day, please make a reservation in advance to ensure availability.
Cancellation Policy:  We reserve the right to charge a deposit at time of reservation. For non-holidays, cancellations must be made at least 24-hours in advance or deposit is forfeited. For holidays, cancellations must be made at least 48-hours in advance or deposit is forfeited.
For everyone's safety, all guests must comply with our Rules and Regulations.

 Daycare

Whether for a full day or a few hours, our goal is to send home tired, happy pups. We have play equipment and use a variety of rotating toys to foster mental and physical exercise. We alternate play with rest and will rotate dogs into different spaces to avoid overstimulation.
