Select Dates and Services

Click here to our online portal to select the dates you need and services. There’s a variety of packages and add-ons you can choose from. Put in all your information and upload your pup’s vaccination records.

2

Evaluation

If you are new here, we will reach out to you for a 20-30 minute evaluation. We evaluate your dog’s behavior, body language, signals, and how well they read/interact with other dogs. Every step of the way, we let your dog tell us if they are comfortable – that’s our biggest focus.

3

Schedule a Complementary Daycare

If the evaluation goes well, your pup will be invited back another day for a complimentary full trial day, or, if we have space, they can stay for their trial day right then.
