We are accepting new dogs into daycare! Please note following:

• We are accepting Puppies!! Please contact us for specifics 315-314-6767. Please be advised our enrollment policy is subject to change at any time due to staffing and other COVID related circumstances .
• Young dogs under the age of 2 who have been socialized and like to play
• Dogs that have done daycare before and enjoy an active environment of 30 + dogs
• Daycare is typically not right for older dogs, dogs who are older than 2-3 and are not socialized, rescues that have never been around dogs or have had any training. Daycare is a very active environment and it is hard to socialize a dog who is older or who has not been around dogs. Daycare is not always right for every dog.
• If you are on our waitlist from before and have not been contacted and are still interested in daycare, please contact us.

More information on our Application process can be found here:

We have changed our policies around pick up and drop off. We WILL be allowing drop off and pick up in the lobby, however it will be one client at a time.

Information regarding pets and COVID-19:

Some of you have had questions about pets and the coronavirus:

While there is still much we do not know about the virus, the CDC states “At this time, there is no evidence that animals play a significant role in spreading the virus that causes COVID-19.” Please read more here: 

We have always used and will continue to use a pet safe disinfectant (that is used in vets and hospitals) for our floors and surfaces. We use what’s called “Signet Neutral Disinfectant (DS1) which “meets the EPA’s criteria for use against SARS-COV-2, the cause of COVID 19. Our supplier is CINTAS: 

Finally, we are always washing our hands and using sanitizer, because of the nature of our work and what we have to pick up! 

All, It is with an extremely heavy sad heart that we are announcing we are closing, today Friday 3/20/20.
The Governor has announced all non essential businesses must close.  We will remain closed as long as the state mandates us. We will be back!
