VIP Enrichment Daycare

VIP Enrichment Daycare is a separate care format for dogs who need more guidance and structure than standard group daycare provides.

This program operates with smaller groups, increased staff involvement, and intentional use of each dog’s time throughout the day. It is designed for dogs who benefit from focused engagement, controlled activity, and a more directed daily experience. We’re not just “keeping them busy.” We’re working them mentally, guiding them physically, and making every session count.

VIP Enrichment is not an add-on and not an upgrade to regular daycare. It is a different format, offered based on evaluation and availability.

How VIP Enrichment Works

VIP Enrichment days are structured around guided activity, supervised interaction, and planned rest. Dogs rotate through enrichment sessions with a dedicated handler and spend the remainder of the day either resting or participating in appropriate supervised play.

Each day is intentionally paced to support engagement without overstimulation. For the right dog, structure builds confidence. That’s what this program is built around.

On a VIP Enrichment Day, dogs participate in the VIP program instead of standard daycare.

What’s Included in VIP Enrichment

2-3 guided enrichment activities per day
One-on-one handler time
Supervised small-group interaction (when appropriate)
Structured rest periods
Time in standard daycare when not in VIP sessions
Daily photos and a detailed activity report
Priority scheduling for package holders

Activities are selected based on each dog’s energy level, responsiveness, and ability to work within structure. VIP is intentional care for dogs who benefit from a more directed experience.

Which Dogs Are a Good Fit

VIP Enrichment Daycare is often a good fit for dogs who:

Do better in smaller, more controlled groups
Benefit from direction and guided engagement
Become bored or overstimulated in open group play
Respond well to mental work alongside physical activity

Some dogs thrive in standard daycare and do not require enrichment care. The evaluation process helps determine the most appropriate format.

Availability & Schedule

VIP Enrichment Daycare runs seasonally, typically from April 1 to August 1. Enrollment is limited, and availability may vary throughout the season.

Existing clients may schedule in advance when availability allows.

Evaluation Requirement

All dogs must complete a Daycare & Boarding Evaluation before participating in VIP Enrichment Daycare.

Evaluations assess:

Ability to appropriately socialize
Responsiveness to staff cues
Self-regulation during activity and rest
Suitability for structured group environments

Dogs who are not a fit for VIP Enrichment may be better suited to standard daycare or alternative care options.
