Find Out About the ‘Duncan Difference’
Duncan’s Dog Daycare was founded by Samantha, a lifelong dog lover, trainer, and dog rescue volunteer who wanted to create the kind of daycare she wished existed for her own dog.
Named after her heart dog, Duncan (Schnauzer/Poodle), the daycare was built on the belief that dogs deserve thoughtful care, structure, holistic methods and a safe place to spend their day with transparency. It is the first of it’s kind and creating a change in the dog industry by setting the bar higher for quality care.
Today, the mission remains the same: care for every dog as if they were Duncan.
The Duncan Difference
Care That Puts Dogs First
Duncan’s Dog Daycare was built around the idea that every dog deserves attentive, thoughtful care. We value quality instead of quantity. Our structured, holistic environment focuses on safety, positive socialization, and making sure each dog feels comfortable and supported throughout the day.
Transparency for Pet Parents
We believe you should always feel confident about where your dog spends their time. Live web cameras and open, honest communication is what you can expect to ensure you are informed and at ease about your dog’s health and behaviors. Plus it’s fun to watch the cute dogs!
A Training-Informed Approach
We use a wide variety of training methods and tools- utilizing hand signals, treats and more. Understanding dog behavior, breed tendencies and dog body language creates a daycare environment of healthy play, positive habits, and respectful interactions between dogs. It’s a thoughtful approach designed to support both fun and good behavior.

Happy Clients & Pups
“Ducan's Dog Daycare has been vital to getting our pup Banjo back into a socialization routine after what turned out to be a destabilizing cross country move. We so appreciate the extra time and patience you all took to build a relationship with our timid little pup.”

“My pup Beau gets so excited in the morning when I tell him we’re going to daycare - he starts spinning and wagging his tail so fast!”

“Samantha and the team at Duncan's have been taking care of my girl for the past 3 years. I appreciate how communicative DDD is and that I can check in through the cameras to see what she is up to. DDD was also extremely helpful when Lainey was a puppy and needed lots of extra care! I appreciate the consistency and reliability that DDD offers.”
