About Us

Duncan's Dog Daycare understands that your dog is a member of your family and deserves the best life which is why we provide a safe, clean and fun place for your dog to be dog. Whether your dog is big or small, young or old; we will love and care for them all the same.

Every detail of our facility and operation is with your dog's best interest in mind. Here are some examples:

-Employees are thoroughly trained and obtain a pet CPR/first aid certification and obtain Dog Guru behavioral training. 

-The indoor space (~3700 sq ft) is sectioned to keep the small dog safely separated from the energetic larger dogs.  The outdoor space (1000 sq ft) is secured with a 6 ft barrier and pea gravel for proper drainage.

-Therapeutic grade essential oils are used in diffusers along with calming music during nap time to provide a mentally holistic and calming environment.

-Natural, chemical-free beef liver treats are used during training activities with your dog throughout the day.

-Pet safe chemicals keep our facility clean, sanitary and odor free.

-Safety is #1 so your dog will NEVER be left unsupervised during play time.

-Transparency is important.  We have two live web cameras for you to view your dog during playtime.  

-Blue, a color your dog can actually see, is used throughout our facility and our uniforms to provide your dog visual stimulation.

-We are located near a veterinarian clinic and pet retail stores to provide convenience for your dog's other needs. 

-We offer curbside pick up at the end of the day to make it quick and easy for you after a long day of work.  No need to get out of your car!

-Our user-friendly software system allow you to make reservations/cancellations, payments and store all your waivers and vaccine records.
