More Than Just Playtime
The K9s Place Difference
Daycare at K9s Place is about giving dogs an engaging outlet for their energy in a structured group environment. Our team supervises group play throughout the day while dogs have opportunities to interact, stay active, and enjoy time with their canine friends.

When your dog stays with us, they’ll enjoy:
- Supervised group play
- Opportunities for exercise and activity
- Social interaction with other dogs
- A structured daycare environment
- Time to play, engage, and burn off energy

Is Daycare Right for My Dog?
Finding the Right Fit for Group Play
Every dog is different, and group daycare isn’t the right environment for every dog. That’s why all dogs are required to complete an evaluation and daycare test before joining the K9s Place daycare program.
The evaluation gives our team an opportunity to learn more about your dog, their temperament, behavior, and comfort around other dogs. The daycare test allows us to see how your dog responds to the group environment and determine whether daycare is an appropriate fit.
Before joining daycare, dogs must:
- Complete an evaluation with K9s Place
- Complete a daycare test
- Be comfortable participating in a group environment
- Be able to interact appropriately with other dogs and our team
- Have no history of aggression
What if daycare isn’t the right fit?
Not every dog enjoys or is suited for group play, and that’s okay. During your evaluation, our team can discuss your dog’s needs with you and go over other options available at K9s Place.
More Than a Day Away
Want to Add Training to Their Routine?
Looking for more than a day of play? K9s Place also offers Day Training for owners who want their dog to spend the day working directly with our training team.
With Day Training, you drop your dog off in the morning and our trainers work with them throughout the day on skills based on the program and your training goals. You’ll pick them up later that day after a day focused on learning and practice.
Day Training is a separate training service from daycare and can be a great option for dogs who need more focused work on obedience, manners, or other training goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often will my dog join a playgroup?
Dogs typically participate in group play up to three times throughout the day. Our team monitors Florida’s heat, rain, and changing weather conditions and adjusts the location, timing, and length of play sessions as needed to keep dogs comfortable while still providing plenty of opportunities for activity and socialization.
How are daycare playgroups determined?
Groups are organized based on factors such as size and temperament. Our team gets to know the dogs in our daycare program and considers each dog when determining appropriate playgroups.
Does my dog need an evaluation before daycare?
Yes. Every dog must complete an evaluation and daycare test before participating in group daycare. This allows our team to learn more about your dog and see how they respond to the daycare environment before determining whether group play is an appropriate fit.
Can dogs with a history of aggression attend daycare?
No. Dogs with a history of aggression are not eligible to participate in group daycare. If your dog has behavioral concerns or you’re unsure whether daycare is appropriate, we can discuss other options during their evaluation.
What happens between playgroups?
Dogs have scheduled breaks between periods of group play, giving them an opportunity to rest, recharge, and have their own fresh water before returning to the group.
