Doggy Day Care • giu 11, 2026

My pup now pulls me in the direction of the thier apartment, even on days we don’t need daycare. Responsive and caring! So glad to have found them!

Great communication, frequent walking, and their own dog was super friendly and got along well with our own! We had an unexpected change in travel plans and Joerg was super accommodating!! Highly recommend!

Joerg and Lake were so awesome and easy to work with! Fantastic communication, flexible pick-up/drop-off, and they're pros at dog intros so my pup got on with theirs super well. I felt safe and comfy leaving for a long weekend and appreciated the pics they sent throughout my trip as well!

Did such an incredible job with Reba! Sent regular updates and had such a great system for introducing her to his sweet dog. She didn’t want to leave!

I am so glad Snowy had a ball, she snuggled with them and they took great care of her. I can’t wait do drop her off again.

Safety, trust & environment

We live in a very walkable neighborhood near Senn high school, and take our dog Lizzie out several times a day. Our place is a split-level condo with a large deck, so there is plenty of room to to give your pooch their own space if they need it.

Pets

A typical day

In the warmer months we go to the dog park daily, either at Foster Beach or Senn High School. We can take your dog there and depending on your preferences have them join the fun or watch from the sidelines. Another fun destination for us is Lickity Split on N. Broadway to get ice cream for us and a puppyccino for the pooches.
