Doggy Playcare
An important part of a healthy lifestyle for dogs is the release of energy and socialization with other dogs.
Why Playcare? When dogs are left alone all day it can lead to an unhappy dog with lots of built up energy. They can become bored when physically and Mentally unchallenged. Improperly exercised dogs can lead to depression and undesirable behaviors.
(ex: barking, chewing, digging, self-harm, and property damage).
Playcare can provide your playful dog an outlet for all their energy in an appropriate and supervised environment.

New to Playcare? What to expect...
*Your dogs first intro to playcare will be nice and easy for them, we limit the amount of dogs we introduce them to at first so they don't feel overwhelmed. Once we get a feel for how your dog interacts with others we will slowly integrate them into the larger play group keeping a watchful eye for any uncomfort.
*The next step is to leave your dog with us for at least 3 hours so we can really get a feel for their personality, and we can determine whether they are a good fit for our playcare.
*Dogs must be social, friendly and enjoy being around other dogs. Dogs must be non-aggressive and not exhibit signs of prey drive or have resource guarding issues.
Health and Safety
Our experienced staff will ensure your pet is cared for like their own. With firm vaccine protocols and strict cleaning and health standards, you can enjoy your vacation and not have any worries about your four legged family members!
Dogs with any kind of stitches or open wound are not allowed to be in playcare, until they are fully healed.
Flea and Tick / Health
Dogs must be flea and tick free and in good health. If your dog is showing signs of illness like coughing, sneezing, diarrhea or any other concerning symptoms, the Backyard would like you to keep your dog at home for the safety of the entire facility.
Food
If you want your dog to have a lunch or snack during rest time, we highly recommend bringing your pet’s own food. We feel it is better for their health to maintain a consistent diet. Please bring the pet food in a airtight container with directions for feeding. Also please no glass, for the safety of our guest.
Special food that requires refrigeration or microwave can be prepared also.
If you forget or don't have your pet's food with you, our house food is a Super Premium kibble from Nutrisource. Available for $1.50 a meal.
Spayed and Neutered
Dogs 7 months of age need to be spayed or neutered for playcare.
Leash / ID Tags Policy
Dogs must be brought in with a collar and a non retractable leash. For playcare their collars will be removed and kept in a cubby until it's time to go home for safety reasons.
Cancellation Policy
There is a 24 hour cancellation policy. If you fail to notify us of a cancellation within 24 hours you will have a bill for 1 day of playcare.
