At The Modern Dog, daycare isn’t just a way to pass the time — it’s a vital part of your dog’s daily adventure.
Here, dogs build confidence, socialize with their pack, burn off energy in a safe, supervised space, and get tons of love and attention from our trained team. It’s a daily routine designed to support their physical wellness, ease anxiety, and keep boredom at bay.

Want to see the fun for yourself?
Our live we**ams let you check in anytime, so you can catch your pup in action—playing with friends, learning new things, or just enjoying a well-earned nap. Real moments. Real peace of mind. 🐾🎥

Safety is a top priority at our daycare. We:

🐾: separate pups in different playrooms based on size and play style so they stay around like-minded friends

🧡: have an incredible team of doggie experts who are skilled in interacting with large groups of dogs

📋: perform an initial assessment to ensure all dogs are a good fit

🌬️: use an advanced HVAC system to filter harmful particles out and bring clean air in

🧽: deep clean each playroom twice a day using dog-safe cleaning products to maintain a safe playing area

👟: use comfy rubberized flooring in our playrooms so dogs won’t slip or hurt themselves on tough gravel or cement. Plus it's better for their paws and joints!
