Long workdays, packed schedules, spontaneous plans—life gets busy. But while you’re out conquering your day, what’s your pup up to?

Instead of waiting by the door or snoozing the hours away, imagine your dog spending the day exactly how they’d choose—running, playing, making new furry friends, and soaking up attention from people who love dogs just as much as you do.

Welcome to Doggie Day Play, where every day is designed to be the highlight of your pup’s week.

Whether you’re heading into the office, planning a day trip, tackling a move, or just need a little extra support keeping your dog happy and active, Day Play gives your pup the physical exercise and social interaction they crave. From energetic games of chase to well-earned nap breaks, every moment is balanced, supervised, and tailored to keep tails wagging.

And the best part? You’ll come home to a happy, relaxed dog who’s had a full day of fun—not boredom. No guilt, no stress—just a content pup ready to curl up with you after their big day out.

Give your dog more than just a place to stay—give them a place to play, connect, and thrive.

Because a great day for you should be a great day for them, too. 🐾

Day-Play is available Monday-Friday, 7am-7pm and Saturday 8am-6pm and closed on Sunday, not including holidays and instances where River Bend Pet Center is closed for the day. We offer Full Day (Over 5 hours) and 1/2 Day (Under 5 hours) options.

  • Current veterinary grade flea treatment
