Questions
What vaccinations are required for daycare or boarding?
Dogs must have rabies, distemper, bordatella vaccines plus a negative fecal sample. Required documentation applies to all services and must be updated annually.

Yes. First-day behavior assessments determine eligibility for group play. Drop-off before 7:45 AM is required for evaluations to ensure safe integration with other dogs.
How does boarding pricing work?
Charges apply per 24-hour period with no hidden fees. Stays during holidays and peak periods incur $8 nightly surcharges due to increased demand and staffing requirements.
Can I schedule grooming during daycare or boarding?
Yes. We coordinate grooming appointments during daycare or boarding stays to provide convenience. Scheduling ensures seamless service transitions without additional visits from pet owners.
What safety measures are in place during play sessions?
Handlers maintain optimal ratios while separating dogs by size and temperament. Continuous supervision, regular rest breaks, and trained staff ensure safe, structured socialization and activity monitoring.

My dog loves going to "school" everyday and is so excited whenever we pull into the parking lot. All of the staff members are super fun and energetic. Makes me feel good to have somewhere that my dog loves and gets love back for all my long shifts.

Gracie is 7 months and had her first day of puppy day care! She had a blast. Came home and slept. I think she had the best puppy day ever. The staff was very friendly too. It's affordable and I felt like I was dropping off my kiddo on the first day of school, but seeing her when I picked her up, I knew she was happy.and exhausted.

Our puppy loves to go to Playtime Doggy Daycare and she comes homes exhausted. I enjoy that not only is she calm afterwards but she is learning good doggy social skills. My own complaint is she smells like urine when she comes home, so baths are needed.

I have mixed feelings about this place. My pup seemed overwhelmed after spending three hours there and he smells absolutely terrible (like I'm gagging with him in the car on the way home). The staff seemed nice, but I think this place is not very clean. The last time we brought our pup here, he got kennel cough. Maybe they have too many dogs in a space that is too small

Far exceeded my expectations. I was reluctant to bring Luna to any doggy daycare after the first one we went to, where they hardly payed any attention to her, and she walked around like an anxious pup all day. At playtime she got the attention and love she needed. She was all tail wags when we got there each day, and slept like a rock when we got home (and this girl has got serious energy). Thank you so much, Playtime staff! :)

We love playtime! My dog gets excited every time we pull into the parking lot. Staff welcome him by name when we walk through the door. It truly is amazing considering how many dogs come through their doors! We took our dog, Tucker, here for ~9 days while we took a trip out of the country. The staff was informative and sent pictures of my pup during his stay. They also gave him a complimentary bath, so he was lookin good for pickup! I will definitely be using playtime for future boarding needs. Prices are great, staff is great, and love the pictures on Facebook! Thank you, playtime!
