Why We're Different

Not just any daycare.

The daycare that gets it right.

Most daycares cram dogs together and call it socialization. We do something different — and your dog will feel it from day one.

Temperament-First Admission

Every dog earns their place. Our free evaluation ensures every pack member is social, safe, and ready — protecting your dog and every dog they'll play with.

No Reservation Chaos

Membership means freedom. Drop off any weekday during the window — no app, no booking, no last-minute scramble. Just scan your tag and go.

Consistent Packs, Real Bonds

We don't rotate strangers through every day. Your dog plays with the same friends, which means they actually relax, thrive, and come home genuinely tired.

Size-Separated Play Areas

Three distinct areas — Poco, Medio, Grande — so your dog isn't sharing space with dogs twice their size. Every pup plays at their own level.

Your Rate, Locked for a Year

Yearly rate lock fee of $100 will ensure that your membership cost will never increase.

A Community, Not a Business

Member events, photoshoots, and pack gatherings year-round. When your dog joins Abby's, your whole family joins something that actually feels like belonging.

Play Areas

Three spaces.

Every size. One pack.

We separate dogs by size and energy level so every pup plays with complete confidence — with indoor and outdoor open-air access in every play area. But placement isn’t just about size. It’s about compatibility.

Because we’re membership-based, your dog builds real relationships with a consistent group over time. Stress drops, play becomes more natural, and confidence grows. It’s the difference between a crowded room and a group of friends.

Poco

Small Dogs

A cozy, confidence-building space where little dogs play big. Gentle, supervised play in a comfortable environment scaled for smaller breeds.

Medio

Medium Dogs

The sweet spot for medium-sized pups. Energetic play, rich social interaction, and enough space for a spirited game of chase with familiar pack-mates.

Grande

Large Dogs

Room to run, wrestle, and roam. Our largest area gives big dogs the space they need to burn off energy alongside friends their own size.
