About DogPlay

At DogPlay, we're all about happy dogs and peace of mind for their humans. Our Vancouver dog daycare is a safe spot where pups can play, socialize, and burn off energy while being supervised by our caring team. Need overnight care? Our dog boarding includes 24/7 on-site staff, five daily walks, and plenty of snuggles. Heading out of town? We're just minutes from YVR. We also offer dog grooming, from bath and brush to full spa treatments, so your pup goes home looking and feeling great. We take the time to get to know every dog's personality and quirks, making sure they get the love and attention they deserve. Book a visit and see why pups (and their people) love DogPlay!

Dogplay is hands down one of the best places you could take your dog. Graeme, Adriana and the entire team genuinely care and understand different dog personalities. I can tell the space is very clean and well managed because Asuka never smells bad after daycare, which says a lot! I really appreciate the love and supervision they give to our pups. Thank you so much for being so kind with her!

We have been taking our dog, Hank, to Dogplay since early 2022. They came highly recommended by a dog trainer and after the first day, we knew Hank was in very good hands. I love getting to see a flash of his day on the Instagram stories, although he's usually asking for treats or getting loved on by the dogs a 1/4 his size, who are obsessed with Uncle Hank! All the handler's are fantastic, well trained and very obviously LOVE DOGS! Having peace of mind that he is well taken care of, if it's just for the day or for longer boarding stays, is priceless!

I was called out of town for a few days and my dog Hank, an Akbash, had to stay behind. At six years old he had never spent a night away from his home or myself. The staff at DogPlay were fantastic and very reassuring that he would be well cared for. That was an understatement! He had some anxiety on his few half day trials but once I dropped him off before leaving town they reassured me he would be well looked after. That he was and had no issues. At 130 lbs I knew it would take professionals and a loving hand. He got that and more. He now has a home away from home if I am called away in the future. A huge thank you to all of you there who went that extra mile!

Adriana, Graeme, Alexis and the rest of the team at DogPlay go above and beyond each day. They care for our puppy Bodie as if he was their own. Adriana is thorough in explaining how Bodie’s day went and the care he received. This was helpful with settling into a new routine for our family and feeling comfortable when leaving a 4 month old puppy in such a large group setting. Graeme’s love of dogs is evident in how he confidently answers questions about Bodie’s interactions at DogPlay. Bodie has been going to DogPlay since he was 4 months old and I was nervous to hand him over to just anyone but Graeme quickly understood Bodie’s personality and helped him socialize with other dogs. Bodie has been going to daycare every day for 5 months and absolutely loves his time there. Often when we leave daycare if we walk back past the front door he goes up the steps to try to get back in. Bodie has a very sensitive stomach and DogPlay has been helpful with trying to sort out what sensitivities he might have. They provide him with a slow feeder for lunch so his stomach doesn’t get upset from eating too quickly. They really think of everything! Alexis groomed our senior dog Ruby and was so kind and careful with her. She has shown the same love and attention to Bodie. I would highly recommend DogPlay for grooming, daycare and soon we will leave Bodie for boarding with the knowledge he will be very well cared for. Such an amazing team ❣️

My dog Ben absolutely adored being at your daycare while we were away and we just felt so safe leaving him here. Everything about the place is just perfect and we are definitely trusting DogPlay with our dog everytime we go away.

If I could give them more stars I would. My dog Noodles has been going there since he was a pup and they take such good care of him. It's hard to think about leaving your dog with someone else but I know that the team at DogPlay loves my dog and takes great care of him. He always comes home well loved and very tired.

7 of 5 Stars! I tried several other doggie daycares and now drive 30 minutes from Point Grey because DogPlay is such a great second home for my Thena (my dog). Thank you to Graeme, Adriana, and the very caring staff! - ❤️🐕 Active play and loving staff. Thena pulls at her leash to see her human and dog friends at DogPlay. Throughout the day, I can check their instagram channel for videos and pics of her having fun with her dog friends. Additionally, the staff leads the dogs in staying active during the day. They have rest time but they don't just sit around all day which is very important to me! AND, the dogs get several outside walks daily so they don't have to go inside! - 📞📲Communications. They are excellent communicators before, during and after your dog's stay. For boarding, they make sure everything is set, are super patient with both your dog and the anxious owner (🙄). If there are ANY issues during the stay, they follow up with a call and email. At pick-up, they provide updates on your dogs behvaviour - just like a good friend would! -⛑️🐶 Safety. Every aspect of DogPlay is focused on your dog's safety and happiness. I took Thena to several other great businesses before DogPlay. Some just had dogs sitting on couches and others had fine-print legal contracts that didn't protect my dog. None gave that warm, second-home feeling you get from taking your best friend to DogPlay. I could not more highly recommend DogPlay, with Graeme, Adriana, and their loving staff for your fur-baby! (Pics are of my anxious doggie Thena, happy with her friends at DogPlay.)

Our little Clytie has been going to DogPlay since she was a little over three months old. Now, after six years, she still gets just as excited to go as she did on her first day. Even before arriving at DogPlay, just hearing the name "Graeme" sets her tail wagging. And she is so comfortable with Alexis during her grooming sessions. DogPlay has provided excellent care for our puppy, from daycare and overnight boarding to grooming. Thank you to everyone at DogPlay for taking such good care of our little pup!

I have never seen such a clean, organized, airy and well-kept pet facility. The prices are very reasonable, the boarding area looks cozy and warm, pretty much ...
