 At On Command Dogs, we know how important playtime and socialization are for your furry friend. That’s why we offer the opportunity for boarding dogs to join our daycare group—but there’s a process to follow to ensure everyone’s safety and enjoyment. Here’s everything you need to know about daycare eligibility for boarding dogs.
Daycare Evaluation: A Prerequisite for Playtime Before your dog can participate in daycare, they must complete our daycare evaluation process. This evaluation helps our trainers assess your dog’s behavior, temperament, and social skills to ensure they’re a good fit for group play. The evaluation is a critical step in maintaining a safe and enjoyable environment for all dogs in our care. Scheduling the Evaluation Daycare evaluations must be scheduled with one of our trainers, and due to high demand, our evaluation appointments are typically booked 3–4 weeks in advance. If you’re planning to board your dog and want them to participate in daycare, we recommend scheduling their evaluation as early as possible to secure a spot. Daycare During Boarding If your dog passes the evaluation, they’ll be eligible to join our daycare group while boarding, provided capacity limits haven’t been reached. Daycare offers a fantastic opportunity for your dog to burn off energy, socialize, and enjoy supervised play with other friendly pups—all at no extra cost during their stay. Benefits of Daycare for Boarding Dogs Participating in daycare while boarding provides numerous benefits for your dog, including:
Plan Ahead for a Pawsitive Experience To give your dog the best experience while boarding, it’s essential to plan ahead. Schedule their daycare evaluation well before their boarding stay and ensure they’re ready for fun and safe playtime. For more details on our daycare services or to book an evaluation, click here. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us—we’re here to help you and your pup every step of the way!  Wondering what your furry friend’s daily routine will be like while boarding with us? At On Command Dogs, we ensure your pup stays active, well-fed, and cared for throughout their stay. Here’s a peek into a typical day for our boarding dogs, designed to keep them happy, healthy, and stress-free.
Morning Walks and Breakfast Our day starts early, around 5:30 AM, with the first round of leash walks in our secure, fenced backyard. These walks are scheduled every 2-3 hours to provide plenty of opportunities for exercise and bathroom breaks. Breakfast is served starting at 6:00 AM, ensuring your dog gets the energy they need for the day ahead. If your dog requires additional feedings, we’re happy to accommodate up to three meals a day. Midday Activities and Playtime Throughout the day, your dog will continue to enjoy regular walks and, if they’ve passed our daycare evaluation, they can join our daycare group for social playtime with other friendly pups. Daycare offers a fun, enriching environment with opportunities for exercise, mental stimulation, and socialization. Best of all, daycare is included at no extra cost, provided there’s availability in the group. (For more details, check out our daycare services.) Evening Meals and Final Walks Dinner is served around 7:00 PM, and your dog’s evening wraps up with additional walks to ensure they’re comfortable and ready for bed. The final walk of the day takes place around 9:30 PM, providing one last chance to stretch their legs before settling in for the night. Bedtime and Overnight Care Once all walks are complete, it’s bedtime for our boarding guests. We dim the lights to create a calm, quiet environment that promotes restful sleep. And rest assured, your pup is never alone—our facility is staffed 24/7, so there’s always someone on hand to monitor and care for your dog, even during the night. A Day Tailored to Your Dog’s Needs At On Command Dogs, every dog receives personalized care and attention. Whether your pup thrives on playtime, prefers a calm routine, or has special dietary needs, we’re here to ensure they have a safe and enjoyable stay. If you have any questions or specific requests for your dog’s boarding experience, don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re committed to giving your pet the best care possible while you’re away!  Boarding your dog can feel like a big step, but with a little preparation, you can help ensure your pup feels right at home.
