Daycare is a wonderful experience for any high-energy, social dog ready for a good time.
DoggieWorks has lots of fun toys and specially designed playground equipment for your pups to climb and jump on till their tails wiggle with excitement!
Our fun, doggie-loving staff is specially trained to understand the needs of our four legged guests.
Because our dogs are rarely "in class" and always "on recess," it's important that they can play nice with the other kids. All our guests are screened and placed in appropriate playgroups. Short time outs and napping are a must...whew, our pack leaders need a few moments to recharge!!
Doggie daycare is not available on Saturdays or Sundays without prior arrangements.
Please make sure to check out our health requirements before signing up for daycare.
Health Requirements
DoggieWorks is committed to safe and FUN play! That is why we are concerned about your doggie's vaccinations. We require:
Distemper
Rabies (1 yr or 3 yr)
Bordetella, every 6 months
Annual Fecal exam for parasites
Due to an increased chance of competition aggression, we require all our fuzzy friends to be spayed or neutered.
We will accept titer results as long as they were drawn within the last 12 months. Lastly fleas and other blood suckers are icky! Please make sure your dog is on a regular flea/tick schedule. We would be happy to assist you if needed.
We know that you are a super busy dog owner.
If DoggieWorks can assist in transporting your precious pooch to the vet in order to complete his vaccination regiment...just let us know. We are always happy to help you keep your hound healthy!

Walking
I'm just Jenni from the block and dog walking is where DW got its start!
Not every dog loves daycare! Not every dog loves all other dogs (you don't like all other people. Right?) Dogs are no different. Our dog walking services are top notch! It is what we have been perfecting for almost 10 years now! We are sooooo hip that we have partnered with a local company to provide awesome GPS enable dog walking!!! Finally, your dog walker has been tagged and set into the wild...to walk your pooch!
You will receive an email at the end of your walk.
You will know exactly how long and where your dog was walked. Your dog walker will email you an update every single day!
If you are a new client interested in signing up for dog walking services, please go to our contact page and send us an e-mail!
We will get you all set up.

Boarding
The Lenghthy Luxury Stay.
DoggieWorks understands that leaving your dog with others while you go out of town can be stressful
for you and your pooch! We try and make it easier.
Our climate-controlled suites are outfitted with plush, comfy beds and your dog will receive yummy homemade bedtime snack by Dr. Helen and plenty of kisses before turning in for the night.
We also play soothing music and doggie appropriate television during the evening.
After a yummy breakfast and some time to digest, your dog will be able to play all day long with his friends!
Doggie daycare is included in the boarding fee. Our expert staff is happy to prepare your dog's food to your specifications or administer medicine, all you have to do is let us know.
In order to overnight with us, we ask that you read our vaccination policy.
We would be happy to assist you in any way we can. It would be great if you could include enough food in case you get stuck at the airport and a yummy smelly shirt or some other item from home...its helps ease the pangs until you return!!!
