Enriching Activities and Play

No two dogs are alike, and that’s just one more thing we love about them. We appreciate that pet parents know their dog’s needs and preferences, so we provide a range of activities and play options  to customize their stay. Here are some of the ways we can entertain and stimulate your pet during their vacation:

Social Play

Many dogs naturally crave the companionship of their fellow pups. We provide a safe and supervised place for dogs to run, romp, and play together. We carefully choose the best playmates for your dog based on size, age, and energy level.

Personal Play

Some dogs prefer to play with humans, and we’re more than happy to oblige. One-on-one play consists of whatever your dog enjoys most, whether it’s a game of fetch, splashing in the pools, or resting in the sunshine.

Relaxing TLC

If your dog is a low-key guy/gal who loves attention, we have more than enough to go around. Belly rubs, cuddles, and even bedtime stories await your precious pup.

Puppy & Senior Packages

Our Puppy Package ensures your young one gets all the extra playtime and potty breaks they need. If you have a sweet senior or special needs dog, our TLC package also provides stretch breaks and orthopedic bedding to keep them comfortable.
