For your dog

Time with familiar people, and time to rest.

Your dog gets supervised activity and outdoor time with breaks to settle. We consider their routine, handling needs, and comfort around the household before confirming a place.

For you

More coverage for a fuller day.

When a short walk leaves too much of the day uncovered, daycare gives you another option. Photos and an update help you see how your dog spent the day while you handled your own commitments.

A balance of activity and downtime

Company through the day, with room to settle.

Some days call for more support than a walk or a check-in. Daycare gives your dog company and supervision across the day while you work or manage other commitments.

Care is intentionally limited and shaped around dogs we already know. We balance activity, suitable outdoor time, and rest according to the dog’s comfort and needs. The point is a day they can manage well, not nonstop stimulation.

  • Supervised activity and outdoor time
  • Appropriate rest
  • Photos and an update

Unless otherwise noted, listed prices are Pathfinder rates for recurring weekly care. Maverick care is occasional or as-needed and is confirmed individually based on availability, route, and fit.

    Care balances supervised activity and rest, with photos and an update for you.

Questions before you book

Finding the right care

Only need a break in the middle of the day?

A Neighborhood Walk can be enough when your dog is comfortable at home and mainly needs movement, a potty break, and some company.

A clear next step

What happens after you inquire

  1. 01

  2. 02

    We check the practical fit

    We review your location, schedule, and your pet’s needs together. For group outings, compatibility matters as much as availability.

  3. 03

    Agree on a starting point

    We’ll discuss the next step with you, including an introduction or meet-and-greet where appropriate. Care begins only after the arrangement is confirmed.

Tom replies within 24–48 hours. If your request is time-sensitive, text him after sending the form and include your pet’s name.

Sending an inquiry does not commit you to a booking.
