Playtime Doggie Daycare & Pet Salon

Playtime Doggie Daycare & Pet Salon, located on the Newark (DE/NJ border) corridor, is a premier, female-owned pet care facility that has been a cornerstone of the regional animal community since 2003. Operating as an independently owned small business, this facility is designed to offer a personalized and high-energy alternative to corporate daycare, prioritizing the psychological and physical development of every dog guest. The property features a massive, fully enclosed outdoor play yard where dogs can enjoy the fresh air and sun, along with multiple indoor, temperature-controlled playrooms specifically designated for themed activities and group games. Their philosophy is centered on 'safe-socialization,' where playgroups are meticulously curated based on size, age, and individual play style, all overseen by a highly trained staff of 'Animal Assistants' with backgrounds in dog psychology and veterinary care.

The service menu at Playtime is remarkably diverse, offering both standard group daycare and a specialized 'Kennel Daycare' for dogs that are either intact or simply prefer one-on-one attention from human handlers. For those seeking absolute comfort, the facility includes a dedicated 'R&R Room' equipped with individual orthopedic cots and soft bedding for midday rest sessions. The on-site 'Pet Salon' provides professional, cage-free grooming and bathing services using premium, eco-friendly products in a tranquil environment designed to reduce stress. Feline guests are also expertly accommodated in spacious, windowed boarding suites that offer a secure and interesting view for the duration of their stay. With its verified reputation for safety and a staff known for their genuine affection and technical expertise, Playtime Doggie Daycare delivers an authoritative and essential care solution. Whether your pup needs a day of spirited social proofing or your cat requires a cozy holiday retreat, the team here treats every guest with the same expert logic and individualized love they would their own companion.
