Our Doggie Daycare is specifically designed for dog owners with busy schedules. We understand that most people work long hours and hate to leave their dogs alone all day. We have created a facility where dogs can socialize, exercise, and develop positive behaviors all in a safe setting. Our Dog Grooming & Bathing Services include state-of-the-art equipment, a relaxing environment, and constant supervision.

Our goal is to provide the most relaxing environment possible for your pet. Services are cage free and done by appointment only so that we can give personal, one-on-one attention to your pet.

Services
At Playtime Doggie Daycare & Pet Salon, our staff is committed to providing all of our pets with the highest degree of safety and love. We are a female owned and independently operated small business. We have created a facility where dogs can build their social skills, exercise, and develop positive behaviors in a safe environment.
All Daycare dogs are Temperament Tested before they are allowed to join the fun! During this appointment, the customer brings their dog in on a secure leash & collar, fills out an application, and presents their pet's updated vaccinations. We then meet with you and your dog and answer all of your questions.
Our pet grooming appointments are set up so that your pet receives one-on-one attention from our groomer. Your pet will spend a fraction of the time at our facility than they would at other grooming facilities. Use of deep cleansing shampoos and moisturizing conditioners that are professional grade, all natural, and organic.
Our dog training classes have been created in partnership with the Delaware Humane Association (DHA) and its trainers. All classes are taught using "positive reinforcement" techniques and gentle training methods, so training is fun and stress-free for you and your dog. Classes are limited in size to maximize your dog's learning experience and to allow our trainers to provide personalized instruction. Course materials include a puppy parenting lecture, hands-on instruction in basic obedience training and advice on common "puppy problems".

We used to send out dog to daycare here. She loved it! The staff here are great at communicating how her was at daycare and how she interacted with other dogs. They also occasionally sent emails to check on our pup. We have since had to rehome our pup but she definitely loved it here and I would highly recommend them for the daycare and grooming services.

My dog has not done well at other daycares, because she get nervous and overwhelmed. The staff at playtime took their time to help her feel comfortable and safe, and she even made a friend! They do an excellent job grooming her as well. She looks beautiful!

Horrendous experience! I think this place is great for smaller breeds and younger dogs. My dog is a Collie and he is 11 and I told the person he had arthritis so he would tend to sit down. My dog was prompted to walk on a ramp, he has never walked in one before and pancaked on the floor. He came out traumatized, shaking and unable to walk plus his hair looked worse.

The person in charge was alone on a Sunday. and couldn't do anything to my dog except for detangling around his ears. She was very nice and attentive but she couldn't handle my senior puppy. We left devastated and took our dog to his vet the next day. Lots of medication and some shots, my puppy was able to walk again. I do not blame the young girl, she was not experienced.

She was alone ( accidents may happen) and she told me the team would call us the next day or during the week to discuss about what happened or make another appointment for my Collie. Nobody called, they did not follow up or simply didn't care. It was my experience and other people like my neighbors has had great experiences. Honestly find out about your customer dogs during that appointment call.

We love love love Playtime. We have 3 dogs. One of them is very timid with other dogs. She was turned away from one of the big dog daycare/boarding chains because she "wasn't having enough fun" (she laid in the corner and kept to herself in the playroom). From the first phone call with Playtime, I could tell this place was different. The owner/manager took a good amount of time getting all the details about our dogs and explaining everything thoroughly.

I had never felt so comfortable with the idea of someone else caring for my dogs. When we brought the dogs in for a temperament test, they let us know that our shy dog was a bit nervous, but it's nothing they couldn't handle. They actually made the effort to give her attention and try to get her to play and to be more comfortable. The service was incredibly individualized, which we truly needed.

I can't say enough good things. Our dogs were happy and well taken care of while we were away. We love checking the FB page to see if there are any pics of our dogs. We've been back for daycare but please please please bring back overnight boarding. This place was a godsend!

This place is great. My pup really doesn't like being taken from her family to go for her bath, but they are so sweet with her. They do a great job with her bath, along with nail trim, and keeping her floppy ears clean. My family also utilizes their daycare option from time to time, and the dog's love it. The people here know dogs, and take every precaution to make sure your pup stays safe. Costs for baths range, depending on breed and need, but they're definitely competitive.

Professional, friendly staff. Very efficient, our dog doesn't have to wait long for grooming and can pick up as soon as he's done. The right combination of caring and skill.

Fantastic as always:- I have lived in 9 states due to Military service. There are perhaps 3 places I trust with my dogs. PLAY TIME IS IN THAT 3!

This place is fantastic from the staff to the facility. I bring my dog here every other day. The prices are not bad. They offer boarding and also grooming. The owner allowed me to look at the way the facility is ran and also offer discounts to regulars. They truly do love and care for your animals like they are their own.

Playtime Doggie Daycare is wonderful, the staff is very cheerful. The prices are affordable. Been going for about 2 weeks and my dog loves to go. The ladies that run the place love dogs and you can tell. It's great for boarding or daycare. The dogs here are always entertained and looked after.

I am beyond delighted wirh Playtime Doggie Daycare and Pet Salon. I brought my two pups here after careful review and interacting with the staff. They spent quite a bit of time with me before they even took care of my dogs. They have an established business (14 years I think)and have a substantial staff; who all appear happily employed. You are able to view the dogs in their day care, who seem content in the silly way only dogs have.

Big dogs are separated from small dogs. One surprising observation all the dogs are shockingly good looking. Great cuts. Glossy coats. Bright excited eyes. That in itself is a revelation regarding the high quality care given. The facility is spotless and smells clean. When my dogs greet me after their grooming their tails are wagging and they are excited.

Plus the cuts are beyond gorgeous! Shout out to Angie their groomer! Even my vet commented on the superior quality of their cuts. Please research where you leave your pets. I have close exposure to a kennel and it's heartbreaking what the dogs endure without their owners knowing. You can't stay in business 14 years unless dogs are your passion.
