A Day of Well-Being and Harmony

At our Charlotte-Matthews doggy day care service, we provide a harmonious mix of play, exercise, socialization, education, rest, and affectionate care. Each day is thoughtfully customized to cater to your dog’s unique preferences and needs, promoting their physical, mental, and sensory well-being. This ensures that you have a well-rounded, content, and balanced dog at home.

  • Play, Exercise, and Socialization: Physical activity helps maintain your dog’s weight and muscle tone, boosts their mood, and channels their energy positively. We offer various playgroups of different sizes, both indoors and outdoors, fostering appropriate social interactions.
  • Rest: In between play and socialization, we ensure your dog has time to rest, unwind, and rejuvenate. Our daily schedule aims to strike the right balance between rest, play, and learning.
  • Learning: Dogs learn from humans and their canine companions. Our skilled staff uses positive training methods to encourage safe play and help your dog master healthy social behaviors during their day care experience.
  • Affection: Your dog becomes a cherished part of our Charlotte-Matthews doggy day care community, receiving plenty of love and care in your absence. We build a bond with your dog to provide comfort and confidence, gaining a deep understanding of their personality, needs, and preferences through regular attendance.

Dedication to Well-being and Security

Our top priority is the well-being and safety of our guests. As dedicated dog parents ourselves, we treat every dog with the same care and attention we give to our own. Our unwavering dedication is centered on creating a secure and nurturing environment for everyone who enters our facility.

Group Play Skills

Interactive group activities and positive reinforcement help dogs practice important skills like name recall, and behaviors like group sit and calmly going in and out of doors and gates. These activities are fun and rewarding for your dog and help improve behavior and impulse control, prevent overstimulation, and create a safer social environment.
