New to Daycare? Your Dog’s First Day of Play is FREE.
Come out and play with Midtown Groom & Board! Your pup’s first day is on the house.
Where Pets Make Pals (and Burn Off Some Energy)
Midtown daycare isn’t just a place to drop your dog off — it may very well be the highlight of their week. Our unique open-play environment gives dogs several hours of socialization and playtime every day, with skilled, dog-loving staff who know every pup by name.
Whether your pup is a high-energy social butterfly or the laid-back sort who simply loves being part of the action, they’ll get exactly what they need — and return home genuinely tired.

The Benefits of Dog Daycare
An active, socially satisfied dog is less likely to chew, dig, bark, or act out from pent-up energy. Regular daycare visits help dogs develop in three key areas:
- Exercise: Dogs crave movement and play. Our large play yards give them plenty of room to run, jump, and explore in a safe, supervised environment.
- Socialization: Safe, positive interactions with other dogs and people help dogs grow into happy, well-adjusted companions. Early and regular socialization helps reduce anxiety and build confidence.
- Mental Enrichment: Group play, new environments, and social dynamics keep dogs mentally engaged — stimulating their minds and keeping boredom at bay.

Do you require reservations for daycare?
Yes, reservations are required. You can book through our online portal or by calling or texting (512) 477-8079.
How will my dog be introduced to the group?
All new dogs complete a free evaluation day before their first regular daycare visit. During the evaluation, our trained staff introduces your dog into the play environment and observes how they interact in a social setting. It’s a low-pressure, no-commitment way to ensure a great fit.
What days and hours is daycare available?
Daycare is available Monday through Saturday. Daycare guests can be dropped-off/picked up anytime within office hours.
How are play groups organized?
Play groups are organized based on the size, age, and personality of each dog — not just size alone. This ensures every dog is grouped with compatible, well-matched playmates for a safe and enjoyable experience.
My dog is a little shy or anxious. Can they still enjoy daycare?
Many shy or anxious dogs thrive in the right group setting. Our trained staff takes care to introduce every dog thoughtfully and monitor their comfort throughout the day. Our free evaluation day is the best way to find out how your dog responds to our environment.
Do you offer daycare packages?
Yes — in addition to a single day rate of $35/day, we offer a 10-day package at $33/day and a 20-day package at $30/day, with discounts for additional dogs.
