Dog Daycare

Strictly Dogs Daycare daycare was created for the pure enjoyment of dogs. Many dog breeds require tremendous amounts of exercise and if they don't receive it, unfortunately we see many unwanted behaviors. All dogs require proper socialization to maintain a friendly attitude. Some dogs suffer from separation anxiety when the family unit is gone. Dogs, being the social butterflies that they are do not do well when they are alone too much. Our goal is to have a happy family unit which includes our dogs. We provide a clean, safe and supervised environment for your dog to run, play and socialize with other dogs.

Day Care Hours: M-F 7am-7pm
No reservations required accept for the evaluation

Fees vary by the number of days visiting per week. Pre paid packages are available at a discounted rate and we also offer discounts for multiple dogs. Please visit our fees page for details.

All dogs must be in good health with current vaccinations certification and all forms including General Information and Vet Approval, Personality Profile, Health and Temperament Agreement and  Medical Treatment Release  prior to being allowed in daycare.

All daycare members must pass a thorough 4 step evaluation prior to joining. (This day must be scheduled in advance.) After your dog has passed this evaluation, they may return to play whenever they like.

  • First step is tolerance testing, does your dog allow someone to touch them all over, open their mouth, pull on their ears, pick up their paw, pull their tail. How does your dog do when they hear loud noises? If food or a special toy is present is your dog possessive? Will your dog give his/her attention to someone when called? We will also test to see which commands your dog seems to understand.

  • During the second step your dog will play with each dog in daycare and that interaction is closely observed. If a dog shows any aggressiveness during this step, he/she will not be accepted and you will be called immediately.

  • If your dog does well one on one with the other dogs then we proceed with step 3 which is playing with 3-5 dogs at one time. Dog behavior changes based on numbers.

  • During step 4 all present members of daycare are escorted to our outside area and the new member is allowed to roam the daycare room sniffing and examining to their hearts content. When they seem ready 1-2 dogs will be allowed into the room at a time until the entire group are together. This allows the necessary adjustment time that most dogs require.

Dog's have a great time playing fetch with our staff. In the summer we have wading pools in our outside area for their swimming pleasure. We know all our dog's names and what they like to do. If you want them to eat during the day we will be happy to attend to that for you. Our job is to give your dog plenty of love, attention and fun, fun, fun. You will know we are doing our job when you see your dog rush to our door and head back to play, they can't wait.
