Doggy Dates addresses the social nature of dogs and their place in nature as “pack animals.” Regular, positive interaction with other dogs and humans is vital to the development of a healthy, happy dog.
That being the case, Doggy Dates Playgroup aims to develop your dog’s well-being and confidence by reinforcing calm, appropriate play behaviors in a safe environment. To do this, we transport your dogs to one of our fenced-in facilities located on privately-owned land where they engage in a supervised, controlled, and off-leash play session. Playgroup can also help improve your dog’s routine, prevent destructive behavior at home, prepare your dog for boarding or away-from-home situations, and, of course, alleviate dog-mom or dog-dad guilt.
At your dog’s initial evaluative play session, our Playgroup Supervisors will observe his/her play style, energy level, and personality to ensure he/she is a good match for group play.
Our main objectives are to help your dog socialize, exercise, and, paws crossed, meet his/her BFFF (best furry friend forever)!
Sign your pup up once a week or five days a week, it’s up to you! Our play sessions run from the morning to the early afternoon, Monday through Friday, rain or shine. Playtime is 45 minutes, as long as weather allows for it! In the event of extreme temperatures or heavy precipitation, groups may be shortened to keep everyone safe and comfortable.
We offer single play sessions as well as double or triple play sessions!
Doggy Dates picks up and drops off in 1.5-2 hour time windows. It is not necessary that you be home for pick-up and/or drop-off.
We have a comprehensive application process in place to ensure all dogs that come to play are friendly and pre-socialized. Doggy Dates will not admit dogs with aggression issues. All dogs must pass their evaluation in order to be considered members of Doggy Dates. In terms of medical requirements, dogs must be up-to-date on all shots! For puppies, three DHPP (DA2PPV or DA2PP) boosters and the rabies vaccines are required! Males over 10 months must be neutered.
Each dog rides in his/her own section of our totally-equipped, doggy-customized and doggy-proof company vehicles.
Once you establish a regular schedule, you can add, change, or cancel dates as needed, and your rate will stay the same!
*Adds received after 3:00 PM on the business day prior to the relevant date will incur a $10 charge. Cancellations received after 3:00 PM on the business day prior (Monday–Friday) will incur a $10 charge per date, per dog. We schedule routes and group assignments one day in advance to ensure optimal planning. This fee encourages advance notice for schedule changes and helps cover the additional work required to accommodate last-minute additions or cancellations.
*Families with 3 or more dogs must cancel by 12:00 PM on the business day prior to avoid being charged the full amount.
*If your dog is sick or injured, no cancellation fee will be charged.
*A full charge will apply for no-shows (when the driver arrives and is unable to pick up your dog). If the pickup can be rescheduled for later the same day, the additional session fee is $20.

*For weather-related cancellations, the cancellation deadline is extended until 7:00 AM on the day of the scheduled play date, with no cancellation fee.
