About: Our trained and loving staff provide quality care. We have a rigorous first day evaluation/ 'interview' process for all dogs in our care to ensure only the most well behaved and social pups are approved to be in playgroup. We keep small playgroups of 15 to 20 dogs. We take hourly potty breaks, have toy playtime, outdoor mini pool pawties in the summer to keep cool, and so much more!

“Tilly stayed with Adam for a whole week and truly appreciated the services! I had some moving start and end times due to a last minute change to flying and Adam was very accommodating. She is happy to see him and makes me enjoy my trip much more knowing she seems very content and happy while I am away!”

He provided regular updates and sent pictures - which was much appreciated! He also has an amazing private rooftop with a dog door and tons of space for the dogs to play in addition to regular walks. Will definitely use Andrew again in the future - thanks again!! 🐶”
