Stay and Play at Camp Sunny®!
Ah, the agony of leaving your dog.
Whether it’s for a day, a week, or even longer, it’s SO hard. What we truly want is to find a place where we can let go of some of that worry. A place that is safe, sanitary, and supervised. A place where our dogs are so busy having fun and learning that they don’t have time to miss us.
Well, you’ve found it: Camp Sunny at Just Dogs PlayCare. Our boarding services provide amenities and comforts for social dogs* – those who are OK being around other dogs – that you just can’t find elsewhere. Adding enrichment daycare to your dog’s stay at “camp” can make it super fun – providing fun and mentally stimulating daily activities in addition to play time.
