Little Paws Daycare Starter Week
Our Most Popular New Client Offer
Not sure if daycare is the right fit for your dog?
Start with an easy first step.
Our Little Paws Daycare Starter Week is designed to help small dogs ease into daycare in a safe, supervised environment made just for little pups. It’s a simple, low-pressure way to see how your dog adjusts, plays, and settles into the routine.
1
Daycare trial for small dogs
Our daycare trial gives your small dog a chance to ease into the environment at a comfortable pace.
It’s a simple way to see how they adjust, interact, and enjoy their day before committing to a regular routine.
2
Supervised play and social time
Your dog will enjoy supervised play and social interaction in a safe, structured setting.
This helps them burn energy, build confidence, and enjoy healthy engagement throughout the day.
3
More comfortable small-dog setting
Small dogs often do best in an environment designed with their size and temperament in mind.
Our small-dog-focused setting helps create a calmer, more appropriate space for play, care, and comfort.

Updates for peace of mind
We know leaving your dog somewhere new can be stressful, which is why updates matter.
We help you feel more confident during your dog’s visit by keeping you informed and reassured while they’re in our care.

Why Small-Dog-Focused Matters
Not every dog thrives in the same environment.
Small dogs often need a different approach when it comes to grooming, play, and daily care. They can be more sensitive to noise, stress, rough handling, and larger dog energy.
That’s why we focus on little dogs and a more comfortable experience built around their size and needs.
When your dog is in the right environment, everything gets better — grooming is easier, daycare is less stressful, and you get more confidence leaving them in someone else’s care.
