Dog Daycare Information
How would you like to spend your days at work no longer worrying or feeling guilty about your dog that is home alone? At Doggy Playcare, you will be able to watch your dog run to our door with the excitement of knowing that their friends are on the other side. You will be able to rest easy that your dog will be playing and socializing all day long! There is both free and organized play that your dog will participate in. It does not matter the size of your dog, or what level of play your dog is used to.
At Playcare we make sure your dog is acclimated into a group that he/she will be happiest and most successful in. At the end of the day you will pick up one happy and incredibly tired dog!
Some dogs come to our Saratoga Springs dog daycare every day, some a few times a week. We are a scheduled program and do ask that your dog come at least twice a week. Every dog is unique and we are happy to discuss the best play schedule for your dog’s needs, as well as your busy schedule, budget and life-style.
Our staff will invite you and your dog in for a meet & greet. It is important to us that your dog is happy in our environment. During this relaxed 20 minutes, we will tell you a little more about your dog’s playtime. We encourage you to ask questions and discuss what schedule works best for you.
Call 518-886-8876 to schedule a meet and greet today! We look forward to meeting you and your pup!

What you need to know
In order to enroll your dog at Doggy Playcare, you must schedule a “meet & greet”. A short meeting will give you a chance to meet some of our staff and allow us to evaluate your dog’s temperament and play style. Once your dog passes our enrollment interview, they will be enrolled into the Playcare program. In order to schedule an enrollment interview, please call us at 518-886-8876.
Before you schedule an enrollment interview, please make sure you’ve read over our requirements to make sure your dog is eligible for enrollment. You will need to bring documentation of your dog’s vaccinations in order to enroll your dog at Playcare. More information about this can be found in the requirements section.
If you would like to get a head start on the enrollment process, you can download the forms below and bring them filled out to your enrollment interview. If you are only planning on bringing your dog for daycare, then you will not need to fill out the overnight registration form.
