A Stay in the Country Pet Lodge
Dog Daycare
Structured Daytime Care with Options to Fit Your Dog
Our dog daycare program provides safe, supervised daytime care in a peaceful country setting. We offer two full-day daycare options, allowing you to choose the level of activity and enrichment that best suits your dog’s personality, energy level, and preferences.
Both options emphasize small group sizes, thoughtful supervision, and balanced routines that support each dog’s comfort and well-being.
Playtime Daycare
Social Fun in Small, Supervised Groups
Playtime Daycare is perfect for friendly, social dogs who enjoy steady activity and group play. Dogs spend the day romping and interacting with carefully selected playmates in small, supervised playgroups.
This option focuses on:
- Social play
- Physical activity
- Making friends in a safe, structured environment
We regularly share photos of Playtime Daycare fun on Facebook and Instagram, and birthday pups receive a special photo, treat, and toy to celebrate their day.
Full-Day Playtime Daycare:
$36.75 per day; Discounted packages available
Adventure Daycare
Enrichment, Exploration & Extra Experiences
Adventure Daycare is designed for dogs who enjoy variety, enrichment, and a little something extra woven into their day. It includes everything offered in Playtime Daycare, plus additional enrichment and special activities.
Adventure Daycare may include:
- Discovery Station visits
- Weekly report cards
- Seasonal homemade treats
- Monthly and birthday celebrations
This option is ideal for dogs who thrive with added stimulation and engagement alongside supervised play.
Full-Day Adventure Daycare:
$46.75 per day; Discounted packages available
If one of our daycare options sounds like a good fit for your dog, we’d be happy to answer your questions or help you get started.
Daycare Packages & Discounts
Discounted daycare packages are available for families who attend multiple days per week. Package options offer savings compared to single full-day visits and may include additional perks based on attendance level.
Full package details and current pricing are available through our reservation system.
Who Our Daycare Program Is Best For
Our daycare services are a great fit for:
- Social dogs who enjoy structured play
- Dogs who benefit from routine and supervision
- Puppies developing social skills (based on readiness)
- Dogs who enjoy enrichment and interaction
If a dog is not comfortable in group play on a given day, care is adjusted to support their well-being.

What Our Customers Are Saying
“Our dog, Lollie, LOVES A stay in the Country! The facilities are excellent and there’s plenty of room for her to run and play. Most importantly, we know Lollie receives great care from a staff that’s very knowledgeable and truly cares for each pet like it’s their own. We HIGHLY recommend A Stay in the Country and wouldn’t consider leaving our pet with anyone else.”
“Our Basset Hounds, Blanche and Mabel haven’t quite figured out that they’ve actually ever been to a “kennel”. Whenever they arrive at “A Stay in the Country” they greet the owner Harriet like they’re seeing an old friend. It is like their second home. They also get baths and have their nails done on each visit (and doing Blanche’s nails is no easy task!).”
“My Brittany, Pete, was an un-socialized dog when we got him at 2 years old. Not only with humans, with other dogs. He had a clinical case of separation anxiety, too. By going to daycare a few times a week, Harriet and her caring crew have helped Pete build confidence. In fact, he’s become quite a character. When we travel we don’t worry about boarding Pete because he loves the facility and gets lots of attention. They have carefully matched his energy level to his playmates and that pup is tired when he comes home! He met his best friend there, too. What sets A Stay in the Country apart is that they take the time to give special attention to each pet.”
