We do offer weekend daycare from November through April, even for dogs who are new to us. You can click here to make a reservation.
If you would like to be added to the waitlist, click here, choose 'Daycare,' then 'Apply for the Daycare Waitlist.'
We do have availability for boarding with group play, just not standalone daycare. When making your first boarding reservation, you can also bring your dog for a free trial day of daycare to help ensure everything works out.
If so, Tucker Pup's dog daycare is here for you! We have daycare seven days per week, and our staff is dedicated to making sure your friend comes home happy and healthy.
Please note that many people falsely assume that their dog must come five days a week to daycare. This is not true at all here - we have many dogs who come here once a week, and even once a month.

Puppy Socials
If you have a puppy, we strongly encourage you to participate in some socials. These help become well-socialized and more acclimated to group play.
Puppy socials are far better than dog parks for introducing your puppy to play. Our socials are run by trainers, all of the puppies must be vaccinated, the room is very clean, the weather doesn't matter, and we infuse fun games and exercises along with the play time.
We offer three types of puppy socials:
- Confidence Builder: For puppies who are on the shy side, still trying to get comfortable with playing with others. They must be between 10 weeks and 5.5 months old, and 35 pounds or less.
- Tiny Tots: For puppies who are 15 pounds and under, who are between 10 weeks and 5.5 months old, and whose play style is not overbearing with the other puppies.
- Whippersnappers: For playful puppies who are between 15 and 35 pounds, and who are between 10 weeks and 5.5 months old. The puppies in this social should be comfortable playing with others, even those who may be larger.
