Summer Daycare Camp in Waco

A themed week of supervised play, enrichment, and rest at our home-based Waco dog daycare. Each week brings a new theme, plenty of shade and water, and the same calm, full-time care your dog already knows. Drop in for a day or join the whole week.

A new theme each week

Drop in for a day or join the whole themed week of play and enrichment.

Heat-smart by design

Waco summers get hot. We schedule active play for cooler parts of the day, keep fresh water everywhere, use shaded and air-conditioned rest areas, and watch every dog for signs of overheating.

Book on Rover

When your dog wants in, request the dates on our Rover profile — that's where availability lives.
