Dog Daycare

Do you think your dog would enjoy group play?

Howliday Inn  provides a safe, clean and fun environment for dogs. Your pet will enjoy a day of exercise, socialization, relaxation, hanging-out with new & old friends plus mandatory rest times in a floor crate (Please read - Why Exhaustion is not the Only Measure of a Successful Play Session ). Dogs are always supervised and we reinforce basic training and good manners with our daycare pups thanks to our 1-2-1 Focused Development program provided by our Certified Dog Training staff.


It is important to know that dogs will be dogs. While it is rare, bites and scratches from playing will happen every now and then. We are careful to break up play before it becomes too rough. We have an on-site Dog First Aid kit that can be use to address most issues, and it is mandatory that any concerns that our staff recognize, no matter how big or small, are reported to the owner before the dog goes home.


All dogs that will be participating in daycare/group play must be spayed or neutered by 7 months of age. This ensures safe play in the daycare yard for all dogs, as well as employees. Dogs that are currently in the daycare/group play program, that are currently not spayed and neutered, may continue to attend under the following conditions:

  • Dog plays well with other dogs
  • Dog shows no mounting behavior
  • Dog can be easily redirected by daycare staff if mounting occurs.

During daycare/group play, if a dog becomes an issue, the Dog Care Supervisor will contact the dog owner and discuss further plans that will best fit the needs of the dog in question.


Also, if a dog is away from group play for more than 4 months, Howliday Inn will require the pup be re-evaluated to confirm they are still comfortable participating in our group play format. There is a fee for all re-evaluations.

The Reasons Why Our Doggie Daycare
is Deluxe

We are proud members of The Dog Gurus, the best educational resource available on off-leash dog play, and FetchFind, an award winning dog care training service for dog care service staff. We have taken the Dog Gurus Dog Play Safety Pledge as our commitment to keeping your dog safe. You and your pup will love the difference in our playgroups where safety and fun is the measure of success. By introducing both social skills in a group setting and 1-2-1 Focused Development to encourage positive natural behaviors, we believe every canine guest gets a program especially tailored to what he or she wants/needs the most for a safer, stress-free dog care experience.

What’s the Right Age to Start
Doggie Daycare?
Generally, we find that 4-1/2–5 months is the right age for larger breeds, such as Labradors and bigger. Smaller dogs seem to do well at a slightly earlier age, as do the herding and working breeds. If you think your dog is ready, we’ll be happy to do a social evaluation to find out. To schedule a social evaluation, please first complete an online client profile as well as the enrollment form. Our social evaluations are available during the work week and by appointment only. Contact us if you have any questions.

Is Your Pup Not a Candidate for Dog Group Play? 

What if your pup is not comfortable with group play but still needs a safe place to stay between the hours of 7am - 7pm? We have the perfect solution! Consider using our In-House Dog Sitting service.  All in-house dog sitting guests receive up to 5 breaks throughout the day to go to the bathroom and to get some exercise. This is provided one-on-one with our Canine Concierge team. Your pup(s) will receive fresh water throughout the day as well as a comfortable space to rest. Additional services can be added if you believe your pup(s) would benefit from more exercise/attention or day spa services.

Deluxe Doggie Daycare & on site In-House Dog Sitting  rates start at only $25 for 1/2 day (Five [5] hours or less) or $35 for a full day (additional dog/same family rates as well as 5, 10, 20 & 30 day packages available). Call one of our reservation specialists for help deciding which option is best for your pet and to schedule a social evaluation for group play (enrollment form  [see above] required prior to social evaluation).
