Traditional Dog Daycare

Available at our Hershey Rd. Location

Traditional Dog Daycare is Best for:

  • Dogs who are very well socialized with other dogs and thrive in active group play environments.
  • Dogs that require both stimulation and social interaction to stay balanced.
  • Dogs who can easily regulate their energy and relax in a group setting.
  • Confident dogs who adapt well to new dogs joining the group and adjust quickly to new playmates.
  • Dogs who need freedom of movement throughout the day, rather than being crated.
  • Dogs who may experience separation anxiety when left alone. Traditional Daycare offers a comforting alternative for dogs who need companionship throughout the day.

How We Ensure Safe and Enjoyable Play

Our Doggie Daycare Counselors are highly trained in canine body language, understanding stress signals of dogs and well-being in an off-leash playgroup setting. Our team of daycare professionals is trained to maintain a safe, enriching, and interactive environment for every dog.

All dogs are separated into playgroups by size, play style, and personality so you can rest assured that your pup is playing safely and developing friendships with their furry friends. We are dedicated to safety so our playgroups are always supervised by one of our loving daycare team members.




I love how friendly and caring staff is. Rocky loves being there, I can leave him there knowing he will have fun with his furry friends and be loved by his human ones. I would not change this place for any other.

The individual care and concern the staff give each dog is second to none. I was very worried how Cass as a recent rescue would do in a kennel, but it was clear the staff gave him the time he needed to adjust and knew how to handle a shy dog.
