Playday Pups Dog Daycare with an Outdoor Yard in Burlington, Ontario

Looking for a dog daycare in Burlington that offers more than just indoor play? Playday Pups Dog Daycare is a boutique, family-run daycare near Mainway and Guelph Line, designed for dogs who love fresh air, outdoor play, and small-group socializing.

A Boutique Approach to Dog Care

Playday Pups limits attendance to about twenty dogs a day — far fewer than most large facilities. This smaller scale means every pup gets personal attention and a balanced mix of play, structure, and rest. The daycare is owned and operated by Tara and Dave, lifelong dog lovers who take time to know each dog’s personality and comfort level.

New dogs are introduced slowly and thoughtfully. Tara and Dave believe in creating harmony within the group, so introductions happen one at a time and only after observing how each dog reacts. The daycare keeps a curated list of friendly, well-mannered dogs, ensuring a safe, positive pack where nervous or shy dogs can relax and thrive.

Outdoor Yard and Real Play

One of the things that makes Playday Pups stand out is its fenced outdoor yard. Dogs can run, chase toys, and enjoy the sunshine — something most indoor-only daycares can’t offer. The space backs onto a quiet creek area, with the natural sounds of Burlington’s small industrial neighborhood — trucks, delivery drivers, people walking by — giving dogs a bit of real-world exposure that helps build confidence.

Rain or shine, the outdoor yard is supervised and designed for safe play. When it’s hot, breaks and indoor time are part of the day’s rhythm.

Care by People Who Love Dogs

Tara and Dave handle every dog with patience, warmth, and understanding. Their years of experience show in how they manage group play, comfort nervous pups, and make sure each dog gets just the right amount of exercise, socialization, and downtime.
