DOG DAYCARE

At Petropolis, pet empowerment is at the center of everything we do, especially for our dog daycare. Our trained staff creates the safest environment possible to reduce any stress or anxiety your dog may have. We cater to each dog’s individual needs and are constantly monitoring changing behavior. Our unique, enriching socialization opportunities help your dog to grow their confidence! We offer group play sessions for pups comfortable with other dogs, as well as one-on-one sessions with our staff for the dogs who love adventuring on their own. Rest assured your pup is in safe hands with the Petropolis family.

Monday – Friday: 7:30AM to 6:00PM

Saturday – Sunday: 8:00AM to 5:00PM

play hard, nap hard

Between the two play sessions & after play time is over, each dog gets to relax in their own private, spacious room. While the pups get their midday snooze on, we use this time for one-on-one play sessions, lunchtime feedings, and cleaning the play yards. This hour is the perfect amount of time for the dogs to recharge for the second play session in the afternoon! 

We provide dog cots for snoozing and fresh water for the pups to stay hydrated after all their playing. You are welcome to bring your own bedding or toys (tennis balls and rope toys are not allowed in their rooms as they can be dangerous unsupervised!)

Petropolis Boarding Room

Pet Empowerment Through Dog Daycare

There’s a lot to explore in our daycare play yards, but some dogs just don’t care for the exciting features- like Canine Cove in Chesterfield or the waterfall in St. Charles. We never force a dog into the water or into a situation where they’re uncomfortable. Instead, we encourage them to try new things using praise and treats. But if they’d rather snooze in the shade or bask in the sunshine than jump on the trampoline, that’s perfectly fine!

Not every dog likes other dogs, and that’s okay, too! We evaluate every dog on their first day to find the playgroup that works best for them. If they’re uncomfortable with group play, we also offer one-on-one play sessions in private yards.

Dog Daycare Orientation

All dogs are required to complete an orientation to see if they are a good fit for our group play. During orientation, your dog will be exposed to new sights, sounds, people, and dogs – all at their own pace!

Get ready for the #petropolispassout

We all know that dogs with pent-up energy can be a handful. Our pet daycare provides pups with plenty of physical exercise and mental stimulation, making for a sleepy, relaxed dog who’s happy to chill out on the couch with you at the end of the day.
