Dog Daycare at Carolyn’s K9 Retreat
Where dogs run, play, and feel right at home
A Different Kind of Doggy Daycare
Our kennel-free, communal dog daycare is designed to feel like home. With five secure outdoor play areas, cozy indoor spaces, and a pack of furry friends to explore with, your dog will spend the day socializing, learning, and relaxing — all under the care of our trained “Rufferees.” You’ll even get photo “Pupdates” throughout the day via our private Facebook group, so you never miss a moment of the fun! Being kennel-free means dogs are never crated unless it’s part of their home routine — which is why we take the time to get to know them before they join the pack.
What Makes Us Different
Most dog daycares offer basic supervision. At Carolyn’s K9 Retreat, we offer a fully personalized, enriching experience rooted in understanding each dog’s behavior and needs. Our approach includes:
A cage-free, kennel-free environment that supports natural movement and rest
24/7 on-site staff for continuous care, play, engagement, and supervision
Thoughtfully separated playgroups based on temperament and energy level
Study Hall training sessions built right into the day for dogs who need extra support
Whether your pup needs help with confidence, manners, or socializing in a pack, our doggy daycare is designed to support their growth!
To ensure every dog has the best experience possible in our communal environment, we use a one-of-a-kind Grade System to evaluate each pup based on their socialization, play style, energy, and basic obedience. Each grade reflects the level of staff engagement and training support needed for your dog to be happy, safe, and comfortable in our unique space — and allows us to create balanced playgroups, personalize care routines, and offer a fair price based on how much attention each dog needs to succeed in our pack dynamic.
Our Unique Grade System
Your dog’s daycare journey begins with a free Meet & Greet — a relaxed 30-minute visit where you and your pup can explore The Retreat and meet some of our regulars. From there, we’ll schedule their first day of Daycare Orientation, to ease your dog into our space and observe their behavior as they settle in and become familiar with our environment.
Meet & Greet + Orientation: Starting Strong
We offer both half-day Playdate (up to 4 hours) and full-day (4+ hours) doggy daycare options. Our pricing reflects your pup’s grade level and the amount of supervision or training they may need. For a full breakdown of our current rates, policies, and health requirements (including spay/neuter and vaccination guidelines), visit our policies page.
