Almost Home Doggie Day Care

We are Special!

Our total inside area is 2,000 square feet, and is partitioned into small and large sections, which can easily be joined.  We have dog beds, toys, and ramps for your dogs to either lounge about, or romp and play.

 The outdoor yard is a quarter acre that is secured by a 6 foot wood fence.  We have sectioned it into smaller areas that provide  ample room for your dog to play and run.  As with the inside, we are able to join them together into large areas, or create smaller spaces.  We segregate the dogs by size, and/or temperament.

The outside is primarily graveled, but we have left the perimeter in dirt for those dogs that like to dig.  We also have a grassy area for the rollers and rompers.  There are children's play structures that the dogs love to climb in and play top dog.  The tunnels and agility jumps provide extra challenges.

There is lots of shade provided by our building and carports.  We have misters under the carports that provide cooling on hot days, and small swimming pools for splashing and flopping.  

We thoroughly supervise the dogs, but  encourage them to create their own games and pairings.  We have found that it is better to allow them to interact, and run and chase with each other, rather than throwing the ball or walking with them.  Many of the dogs have their favorite friends for games of tug.

Beds, doggy sofas, and blankets are provided for taking naps and lying in the sun.  When they aren't wrestling on the beds they love to snuggle and cuddle. 

From a dog's perception, this must be perfection!

Photos of your pets

 We spend most of our day with a camera close by to capture those special moments when your dog is doing something especially cute.   If you provide us your e-mail address we will send you pictures of your dog's day at school.

For a nominal fee, we will provide custom portraits either posed or at play.  Our gallery in the Lounge has framed photos of many of our guests.
