New to Midtown? Your Dog’s First Day is FREE
New guests enjoy a complimentary evaluation day — a full day of daycare on us — before their first overnight stay. It’s the best way to get acquainted.
Optimal Comfort, Dog-Approved Care
Looking for a safe, fun, and loving place for your dog while you’re away on vacation or traveling for work? Midtown Groom & Board offers overnight boarding 365 days a year as your dog’s true home-away-from-home.
Our unique open-play environment means your dog is active and socializing throughout the day — just like a regular daycare visit. Unlike traditional boarding facilities that confine dogs to small runs for most of the day, every boarding guest at Midtown gets the full daycare experience at no additional charge.
By the time you’re back, your pup will be happily exhausted and ready to enjoy a calm evening alongside you.
