"I would stay home from vacation if the staff at Doggie Pause was not available to take care of my two sweet angels. I have been going to Doggie Pause on and off since it opened and would not DREAM of taking my dogs anywhere else. The facility is a happy wonderland, the staff is caring and loving, and Judy is just like a mom. You will never feel uncomfortable leaving your babies with her. Best Daycare!"

Daycare

Every dog is unique

Like kids at nursery school, some race right in the first day, ready for whatever comes. Others are a bit shy, and might need to be eased into a doggy daycare program. We pay close attention to the needs of each and every dog in our care. That's why we are committed to keeping smaller group sizes and generous staffing ratios.

Dogs are very social creatures

They enjoy the company of their own kind - and of humans. Animal behaviorists recognize the importance of the physical and mental activity that a well-run daycare can provide. Dogs who socialize frequently with other dogs and humans are generally happier and healthier. Doggie Pause dogs enjoy play areas inside and out for supervised running and playing in a secure environment. We consider age, size and activity level when assigning a newcomer to a playgroup so that she is comfortable with her companions. And even many older dogs, who no longer want to do much wrestle-bite-run playing enjoy watching the youngsters and just being around other dogs and people.

It's late. You're tired. He wants a run in the park.

You love your dog, but sometimes you just don't have it in you. Many busy owners have found that time spent in daycare results in a dog who is happy to spend a quiet evening at home. And you know that he's getting the exercise and stimulation that he needs. You may also find that behaviors associated with separation distress - such as barking and destructiveness - decrease with even a couple of daycare days per week.

Little Dogs, too!

You may not feel as guilty leaving your small-breed dog at home, but he has the same needs for canine contact and socialization as his larger counterparts. At Doggie Pause, we have a special playroom just for the little guys!
