Group Play

Group Play is here for you and your dog’s needs! Previously as My Dog’s Daycare, we are now located inside Old Mill Boarding Kennel. We offer group play for daily use or during your dog’s boarding stay!

Our Fear Free certified staff is here to provide an enriching and fun environment that can help prevent your dog from developing problem behaviors such as loneliness, separation anxiety, destructive behaviors, and boredom. Ensuring to provide a safe and sanitized space for your dog to enjoy. We encourage positive social behaviors through positive reinforcement.

Structured group play and daily exercise is what your dog needs to stay happy and healthy! We offer a safe and fun play area inside with modular play equipment, an outside area with a spacious fenced in yard with plenty of room to run around with friends, dedicated potty breaks, and to soak up the fresh air and sunshine! On top of having down-time for the dogs to unwind throughout the day!

We hope to have your dog join us for the fun!

"I can't say enough great things about BOTH the vet and the kennel. We've used the vet with both of our dogs and the vets, techs, and front desk staff are always so helpful and kind. We are always able to get timely appointments and they always squeeze us in when needed.More recently we started using the kennel for grooming and to have as a back up in case we need boarding. Our dog loves everyone there but he hates nail trims and baths - no other dog store or service has been able to work with him. They see his anxiety and panic and they don't even let him up on the table. Old Mill is SO kind, they take great care of him, and find ways to make sure he is comfortable and less anxious. The staff is SO incredibly kind."
