A Day in the
Life of a Daycare
Premium Guest

7:00–9:00 AM: You drop off your furball for their big day, complete with a guilt-free goodbye because you know they’re about to have the time of their life.

It’s Party Time (6 rounds):

Your dog enjoys six small-group play sessions tailored to their size, play style, and energy level. Think group training, door manners, bubbles, tug, fetch, seasonal pool time, and exploring the sensory yard. Structured fun without the chaos.

Private Enrichment (Minimum of 2 rounds):

It’s time to work those big dog brains with puzzles, sensory play, balance and body awareness, and sniff-tastic scent trails. It’s 20 minutes of fun where your pup gets to practice listening and feeling like the smartest kid in class.

Rest Breaks (between every activity):
After each play or enrichment round, your pup recharges in a calm kennel space with dim lighting, soothing DOGTV, and fear-free surroundings—because even party animals need recovery time.

4:00–6:00 PM: Pickup your happy, fulfilled, gloriously tired pup ready for a peaceful evening at home.

The Audition

How does a dog make the cut for FPC Daycare?

We run a tight ship (with lots of tail wags). We cap daycare at 30 dogs per day, no exceptions. We also operate on recurring schedules, which means if you’re matched to Mondays, you’re officially a Monday regular. This structure keeps things smooth, safe, and wonderfully predictable for both dogs and humans.

Because our spots are limited, we’re very intentional about who joins the family. Our audition process helps us make sure FPC is the right fit for your dog and that we build the best possible experience for them.

Here’s how the audition works:

Day 1 – The Meet & Greet (60 minutes)
You’ll drop your dog off for a one-hour consult where we:

Test puzzles and enrichment skills
Review basic obedience knowledge
Assess kennel comfort
Introduce them to one carefully selected dog to evaluate social style
If Day 1 earns a paw of approval, we move on…

Day 2 – The Trial Run

Scheduled on your desired recurring daycare day.

Drop-off: 8:45 AM
Pick-up: 3:30 PM

At pick-up, you’ll meet with our team for an in-person consult. We’ll share what we learned and recommend one of our three daycare programs based on your dog’s energy level, preferences, and training foundation.

Day 3 – The Full Experience

Drop-off: 8:45 AM
Pick-up: 3:30 PM

This is a full day in the selected program on your recurring day (or a second weekly day if you’re hoping for twice-a-week care), followed by a quick recap.
Pass the process? Welcome to the FPC family.

3-Day Assessment: $299
After that, you’ll begin the daycare program we’ve chosen together.

Because around here, we don’t just do daycare - we build the right plan for every dog.

Daycare, Reimagined.

We didn't build another place for dogs to burn energy. We built a place where they can learn, explore, rest, build confidence, and simply be dogs. Everything we do is guided by one question: "What's best for the dog?" If the answer isn't the easiest or most convenient, that's okay. We've never been interested in ordinary dog care.

Small Groups. Bigger Standards.

More dogs doesn't mean more fun. It usually means more chaos and more risks. That's why we intentionally cap daycare at just 25-30 dogs per day, with a maximum ratio of 1:10 for large dogs and 1:14 for small dogs. Every playgroup is thoughtfully matched, closely supervised, and rotated throughout the day so dogs stay engaged without becoming overwhelmed. Quality has always mattered more than quantity.

Balance Beats Burnout.

We don't believe an exhausted dog had a successful daycare day. We believe a fulfilled dog did. Every visit is intentionally balanced with structured play, enrichment, rest, and one or two private sessions designed around your dog's individual needs. Whether they're practicing obedience, exploring new scents, working through puzzles, building confidence on the treadmill, or enjoying a quiet enrichment session, every activity has a purpose. Because exhaustion isn't enrichment.

Our One-on-One Commitment.

No dog spends the day blending into a crowd. Every daycare guest receives one or two private enrichment or training sessions during every visit because individualized care isn't an upgrade here. It's our standard. We take the time to understand what motivates each dog and tailor their experience to help them succeed

Rest Is Part of the Program.

Activity is only half the equation. Dogs also need time to decompress, process, and recover. Between play sessions, our guests relax in Ruffland Impact Kennels or Igloo kennels in a quiet room with DogTV, giving both their bodies and nervous systems the opportunity to recharge. We don't believe in keeping dogs going all day. We believe in keeping them balanced.

We Train Our Team Like Professionals.

We don't hire people simply because they love dogs. We hire people who are committed to understanding them. Every team member receives education in canine body language, positive reinforcement, defensive handling, playgroup management, and enrichment, with continuing education throughout their career. We believe better educated professionals create safer dogs, stronger relationships, and better outcomes.

Enrichment Isn't an Extra.

Our private enrichment room was designed to challenge dogs mentally just as much as physically. From scent trails featuring rotating odors to obstacle courses, texture exploration, body conditioning, puzzles, and problem-solving activities, every experience is designed to engage a dog's natural instincts. Because mental enrichment is just as important as physical exercise.

Routine Creates Confidence.

Dogs thrive when life is predictable. That's why we require recurring daycare schedules instead of drop-in visits. Dogs spend time with familiar coaches, familiar playgroups, and familiar routines that build confidence instead of uncertainty. It may not be the most convenient model, but it's one of the reasons we've never had a fight-related injury in daycare. Consistency isn't restrictive. It's protective.

Positive Reinforcement. Always.

Everything we do is rooted in science and positive reinforcement. We don't rely on intimidation, force, or outdated handling methods. We build trust through clear communication, thoughtful coaching, and rewarding the behaviors we want to see more of. That's how confident dogs are built.

We Take Dog Care Seriously. We Also Know How to Have Fun.

Exceptional care doesn't have to be boring. Throughout the year we host themed parties, seasonal celebrations, and professional photo events that give dogs memorable experiences and owners keepsakes they'll treasure. Every daycare visit also includes detailed report cards and photos, so you'll always know exactly what your dog learned, explored, and enjoyed while they were with us.

Our
Difference

Going Against Tradition

Why We Built an Enrichment-Based Daycare Traditional daycare taught us that a successful day is measured by one thing: an exhausted dog. We disagree. At Fetching Pet Company, we believe exceptional daycare isn't about creating the most tired dog at pickup. It's about creating a dog who feels mentally fulfilled, emotionally balanced, physically exercised, and genuinely understood. That belief is what inspired us to build our enrichment-based daycare. Instead of relying on hours of nonstop group play, we've created a structured program that balances social interaction, purposeful activities, one-on-one coaching, and rest because that's what dogs were designed for. Why Traditional Daycare Falls Short: Continuous stimulation may leave dogs physically exhausted, but it doesn't always leave them emotionally fulfilled. Many dogs benefit from opportunities to decompress, practice self-regulation, and engage in activities beyond simply running and wrestling for hours at a time. Dogs experience the world through their senses, solve problems with their brains, build confidence through learning, and communicate through incredibly subtle body language. When daycare focuses only on physical exercise, those other needs often go unmet. That's why our program was built differently. Everything inside Fetching Pet Company was intentionally designed around one simple question: "What's best for the dog?" Sometimes that means less play. Sometimes it means more rest. Sometimes it means one-on-one coaching instead of another hour in a group. Because dogs deserve more than a place to burn energy. They deserve to be understood. That's the standard we're committed to.

Pricin g Transparency

Why Our Daycare Costs More At Fetching Pet Company, you're not paying for hours of group play. You're investing in a completely different standard of dog care. Every daycare guest receives one or two private enrichment or training sessions during every visit. That's one dog working with one daycare coach, not one employee supervising a crowd. That level of individualized care requires more time, more education, and more staff, but we believe every dog deserves it. We also intentionally limit daycare to just 30 dogs each day, maintaining small staff-to-dog ratios so our team can build relationships, closely observe behavior, and create a safer, more personalized experience. Quality has always mattered more than quantity. Our pricing also allows us to invest in exceptional people. Our daycare team earns $15–$20 per hour, receives continuing education, and has opportunities to grow into leadership roles like Daycare Coach and Daycare Enrichment Coordinator. We believe great dog care should be a career, not just a job. Finally, your investment helps us continue building an enrichment program unlike any other, complete with rotating sensory experiences, private enrichment spaces, premium equipment, report cards, and thoughtfully designed activities that support every dog's physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing. Could we charge less? Absolutely. We could eliminate one-on-one enrichment, increase group sizes, and reduce staffing. But that wouldn't be Fetching Pet Company. Our pricing reflects the kind of care we'd want for our own dogs, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
