There’s nothing more enjoyable than watching dogs playing and having the time of their lives, unless you’re a dog, of course. Our daycare facility is all about your dog’s needs. We have designed a 7,100 square feet doggie haven to accommodate your dog’s size and temperament; they can socialize in a friendly, safe manner. We understand that proper socialization with other friendly dogs and people is the best gift we can give our dogs. These are also great tools to offset common behavior problems that normally stem from boredom. Our staff is trained to work with dogs based on their individual personalities. They will be slowly introduced at their own comfort level if they are shy or newcomers. Our daycare offers:
Web cams that allow you watch from your computer. You can witness them develop new friendships with other nice dogs and people
five open play areas with specialized rubber flooring, play equipment and activities to stimulate them mentally and physically
grouping your dog with compatible play buddies based on temperament, size and age
an outdoor potty area to keep your dog on a good housetraining track
supervised by a trained staff member to ensure they have an enjoyable, safe visit
reasonable rates if you have one dog or multiple dogs and flexible hours to accommodate your busy schedule
Overnight Care
If you’re like us, there have been times when you opted not go on an overnight trip or travel because you didn’t feel comfortable leaving your canine kid behind. We know this because we’ve been in your shoes. That’s why Alfie’s Poochie Playlot has put a lot of care and consideration into our overnight facility. You and your dog can choose from two separate overnight lofts to best serve your dog’s sleeping preference:
Individual suites that vary in size and some can accommodate two doggies who prefer to stay together from the same family
An open cage free slumber room where your canine kid can sleep on doggie beds just like home
All night supervision with a trained staff member to ensure they have an enjoyable, safe visit
Day time fun with other doggies who are with us for day care
Web cams that allow you to log on and watch your dog play with their new friends
