Vacations and business travel can cause stress for pets and owners alike. We know how much you love your pet and how much you'd hate to see him caged for days at a time while you're away. For this reason, A DOG'S LIFE offers an On-Site Group Slumber Party combined with daycare for one price so you can have peace of mind knowing that they are having a great time while you're away.

Your dog will enjoy a safe, closely supervised indoor/outdoor playground with other dogs during the day. At nighttime, your tired pup will slumber in a private kennel equipped with their own toys, water, and a comfortable bed. We even have staff working overnight to make sure that all dogs are sleeping comfortably and soundly. Our overnight attendant is an active position with a variety of tasks, not just someone sleeping on-site overnight. Our overnight attendants regularly check in on our sleeping pups to ensure that all are safe and well.

Reservations are required in advanced, especially during the holiday season.

PLEASE NOTE: Dogs that have not slumbered with us before will be asked to come for at least one and a half days of daycare prior to a Group Slumber Party. If your pup is still demonstrating signs of discomfort or stress after that day and a half of daycare, we may request your pup to come for additional days of daycare prior to slumbering dates to complete the evaluation process and ensure the comfort and safety of your dog.

Dogs who have not come to A DOG'S LIFE for three months or more may also be required to come for at least a single day of daycare prior to a Group Slumber Party to reacquaint him or her with our staff, facilities and procedures. Please plan as far ahead as possible before your dog's visit for their own comfort.
