Looking for a safe yet stimulating doggy day care or pet sitting service in the Allentown, Bethlehem or Easton, PA area? Our 12,100 sq ft indoor facility is ideal for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. We offer a section for big and small dogs as well as puppies. Why offer a separate section for different size dogs? Dogs are not like children. In the canine world, small dogs can get hurt if they do not match the energy level of a large dog during play. Some small dogs can keep up with the larger ones, but some are not comfortable with the big dog size or energy. This is where our small dog play area is beneficial.

We have climate controlled indoor rooms with A/C and Heat to keep your pet comfortable all day.

We have a state-of-the-art Air Purification System in our play room to ensure that your pet is breathing clean, healthy, virus-free air while he is running with the pack.

In addition to the indoor area, there is also a large 10,200 sq ft, secure outdoor play area. We offer several large open play areas to group dogs together by energy in free play and create a balanced pack. Each doggy day care area is always attended by our trained staff.

While you are at work, home, or on vacation, you can watch your pet play and interact by logging onto our webcam system. This way, you are a click away from checking in to see how your pet is doing, any time of the day.

Please allow 24 hours after applying flea and tick treatments and bringing your pet to day care.
