Our daycare provides dogs the right amount of social, mental and physical stimulation throughout their stay, without wearing them out. It differs from many other daycare programs in the following ways:

• Dogs are separated by size into 3 different playrooms, never to exceed a playgroup size larger than 12 dogs.
• The day features built-in breaks, with downtime scheduled for the dogs during which they're separated from other dogs.
• The dogs are rotated through different play environments, which includes our playrooms with canine-specific padded flooring, outdoor yards and our sofa lounges.
• Each playroom is supervised at all times with a high staff-to-dog ratio.

Yes. We are proud to say we have staff on-site 24/7/365 to make sure your dogs are safe and cared for overnight.

At Yardstick, we welcome dogs of all breeds and sizes. However, for the safety and comfort of all our guests, we separate dogs into playgroups based on size and temperament. This ensures that each dog has the opportunity to socialize and play with compatible companions.

A single Nighttime reservation includes 24 hours of care at Yardstick in a designated suite. Included in the Nighttime rate is small group daycare during the daytime portions of the stay (refer to "What is small group daycare?" below).

Nighttime dogs will be fed and administered medication in accordance with your directions and will be given substantial time outside their suites, rotating between our playrooms, yards and sofa lounges.

It is strongly encouraged that dogs stay on the same diet while in our care, so we ask that you bring enough food to last the duration of the stay. No need to portion out feedings (though you may, if you'd like) — our Hosts will follow your feeding instructions.

You may also pack toys, treats and beds for your dogs but ask that you use discretion in doing so.

We have raised beds and house blankets that are washed thoroughly between stays, so feel free to leave blankets at home.
