Calm, Curated, and Close to Home

If you’re looking for a structured dog daycare in Burlington, you’ve found it. At Playday Pups, located near Guelph Line and Mainway, we believe a dog daycare should be more than just a place to burn off energy — it should offer consistency, routine, and social balance.

That’s why we’ve built a daycare experience focused on small groups, curated play sessions, and scheduled breaks. Dogs thrive on structure, and our home-based environment helps them feel safe, relaxed, and fulfilled by the end of the day.

Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella

We prioritize the health and safety of all our furry guests. To ensure a safe environment for everyone, we require all dogs to be up-to-date on their vaccinations. Specifically, we mandate proof of vaccination for Rabies, DHPP (Distemper, Hepatitis, Parainfluenza, and Parvovirus), and Bordetella (commonly known as the kennel cough vaccine). These vaccinations help protect not only your dog but also their playmates from preventable illnesses. Please provide current vaccination records prior to your dog's first visit to help us maintain a healthy and happy pack!
