A Day at Villa La Paws Resort & Spa

6:30-7:30am: Breakfast for Slumber Party Guests

All guests begin each day around 6:30 a.m. with a morning potty break. Your baby will enjoy breakfast in bed between 7:00am and 8:00am while the daycare dogs check in. Even dogs don’t like to run around on a full stomach, so after their morning meal we give everybody a chance to relax and digest.

The Resort Night Staff does a complete transition to the Resort Doggie Day care staff.

7am – 8:30am: Daycare Guests Arrival

Most guests will arrive between 7:00am and 8:30am. Our Day Care guests will be checked in and their lunches, snacks and other belongings will be put in their cubbies. They practice patience and good manners while waiting for the other dogs to arrive, and play time to begin.

8:30am - 11:30am: Morning Playtime

Based on the information we gather at the initial guest consultation, dogs are divided into groups according to their size, age, activity level, and playing style. The playgroups are supervised at all times and positive social interactions are encouraged. Our guests will enjoy lots of fun activities including wrestling, romping, playing ball, tugging, chewing, squeaking toys, and receiving plenty of love and attention from our staff. Playgroups are also rotated between our indoor playrooms and outdoor dog park so our guests can benefit from the added physical and mental stimulation.

11:30am -12:00pm: Party Time!

If any of our guests are celebrating a birthday, we have a party! The birthday dog is given a special treat and all of his buddies get in on the fun too. The Resort Staff and all party goers get dressed for the occasion and Moms and Dads and other family members can join in person or view the party from our Webcams.

11:30am - 1:30pm: Nap Time & Individual Attention

Dogs are creatures of habit. During this time, the lights are dimmed and soothing music played so our guests can rest. This is an enforced quiet time, as the dogs have had a very active morning and need time to unwind and relax. This blend of playtime and relaxation time gives our guests a fun filled day without over-exertion or over-stimulation. Our staff will give continuous belly rubs and back scratches to calm them down. We will feed your dog lunch according to your regular schedule during daycare. Feel free to bring a favorite chew bone or special treats for a stuffed Kong snack. Research has shown that his helps to calm dogs before they nap.

1:30pm – 5:00pm: Afternoon Playtime

This playtime is more structured, and slower-paced. With one-on-one attention, we refresh your dog’s memory of basic obedience and manners, in-between wrestling, chasing their friends and catching balls! Our staff also loves spoiling your dogs with lots of hugs, cuddles and ear scratches in between the fun and games.

500pm - 6:30pm: Daycare Guests Pick Up Time

Most dogs will be picked up between 5:00pm and 7:00pm. Your furry kid will have a time to unwind and get freshened up with a quick clean up and brushing. After a full day of fun and play, you will be greeted by an entertained and well exercised dog ready for a relaxing evening at home.

The Resort Doggie Daycare staff will do a complete transition to the evening Paws Resort Staff.

6:30pm – 9:00pm: Dinner and Evening Playtime for Slumber Party Guests

In the early evening, overnight guests say goodbye to their daycare buddies and get ready for a delectable dinner, generally served between 6:30pm and 7:30pm. After your furry kid has eaten, we make sure that the slumber rooms are comfortable for a night of rest and relaxation. The day wraps up after our guests goes out for one last romp in the outside play area before entering the slumber party suites to enjoy a movie or some soothing music with their canine friends.

9:00pm – 6:30am: Dreams of today’s fun and tomorrows adventures

The lights are dimmed and throughout the evening and early morning hours our guests sleep in luxurious beds with all of their overnight playtime buddies.
