What does a typical day look like at OnlyDogs?

• Rise & Shine: Wake up, get tails wagging, morning potty break and fresh air.
• Breakfast: Meals are served, followed by a little quiet time.
• Playtime: Individual time for pups who prefer solo fun, or carefully chosen group play for our social butterflies.
• Rest & Rotation: Outdoor play, cool-off breaks, meal prep, and even TV time - just like at home!
• Multiple Outdoor Breaks: At least 6, and sometimes more than 10 trips outside each day, adjusted for age, activity level, and weather.

• Evening Wind-Down: Dinner, relaxed hangout time, some more fun with friends.
• Last Call: A final potty break before midnight, then sweet dreams until morning.

Where do dogs sleep and rest?

All dogs are safely kenneled in our designated Bougie Room - a climate-controlled, video-monitored space designed specifically for overnight rest and scheduled downtime.

Can I request an early or late drop-off or pick-up?

We do not accommodate arrivals or departures outside of our scheduled time slots. We kindly ask that you plan your travel and schedule accordingly.

What if the times simply do not work with my work/sleep/life schedule?

As a cozy, home-based boutique, we maintain a normal daily routine to ensure your pup enjoys a calm, personal stay. We choose to remain small so we can provide the quiet, home-like environment and individual attention that makes OnlyDogs different. If our scheduled drop-off and pick-up times conflict with your routine, a traditional commercial facility might be a more convenient option.
