A typical dog daycare day at Hello Pets Inc. includes morning and afternoon play sessions grouped by size and temperament, two supervised outdoor walks, structured rest periods, enrichment activities with rotating toys and scent games, and midday meal service for dogs on special diets — all within a cage-free, open-concept facility from 8 AM to 7 PM. Your dog comes home tired, well-socialized, and happy.
Here is what a typical day looks like from drop-off to pick-up:
We accommodate special diets, medications, and comfort items from home. Unlike drop-in dog parks or kennel-based facilities, every session follows this structured routine — so your dog gets consistent activity, rest, and socialization on every visit. If your dog has specific needs — allergies, anxiety triggers, or play preferences — let us know at drop-off, and we adjust their day accordingly.
Dog daycare is not one-size-fits-all — but for many dogs and owners, it replaces isolation with structure, exercise, and social contact that no amount of home-alone time can provide.
Dog daycare is ideal for owners who leave before 8 AM and return after 5 PM. Instead of hours of isolation, your dog gets supervised activity, companionship, and routine. You come home to a calm, exercised dog instead of chewed furniture and guilt.
Dog daycare gives breeds like Labradors, Golden Retrievers, Border Collies, and Huskies the sustained daily exercise that a 30-minute walk cannot provide. Unlike unsupervised dog parks, our program groups dogs by size and temperament with trained staff managing every interaction.
Daycare provides the early socialization that is critical for development. Puppies who attend regularly learn to interact with unfamiliar dogs and people in a controlled, supervised environment — far safer than unstructured encounters. For dogs who need additional behavioural support before or alongside daycare, Hello Pets also offers dog training programs with experienced trainers.
Structured daycare adjusts activity levels for older dogs, providing low-impact play and gentle companionship without overexertion. Senior dogs still need movement and mental stimulation — structured daycare delivers both in a safe, monitored setting.
No cages, crates, or kennels at any point during the day. Dogs roam freely in our supervised, open-concept facility from drop-off to pick-up.
Staff are present throughout the entire operating day. Your dog has human supervision and companionship from 8 AM to 7 PM with a 1:10 staff-to-dog ratio.
Dog daycare, overnight dog boarding, professional dog grooming, and training are all available at the same location. Schedule grooming on a daycare day and skip a separate trip.
Our handlers hold pet CPR certification and have four years of hands-on experience operating cage-free daycare. Read what our daycare clients say or meet our experienced team at Hello Pets Inc..
