Rated #1 Dog Daycare in Richmond!
Since being established in 2019 under Lacey Hotte’s ownership, we’ve proudly served the Richmond area and continue to open our doors every day with a smiling, happy team. We are a 3-time Canadian Choice Award Winner for Dog Daycare Services and consistently rank Top 3 Best Doggy Daycare in Richmond.

What We Offer:
Doggy Daycare
We have 4 fenced yards for the dogs to explore! Dogs will be accompanied by a handler to any of our covered and uncovered yards for safe and supervised play. When they are not playing, the dogs rest in our indoor rest areas or in our crate rooms
Overnight Boarding
Our boarding experience is like one big sleep over for your pup! Because we are a cage free facility, the dogs sleep in group together and with our overnight handlers
Grooming, Enrichment, and More!
Our daycare & boarding clients are welcome to book additional services such as grooming spaw days, adventure walks, or schedule holiday photos! We also feature Playful Pups exclusive events announced on our social pages!

I 10000000000% recommend this place for your sweet fur babies ! They go beyond taking care of your loved little guys and always have positive hearts ! I love them and wish nothing but goodness for this company!!! Thank you guys again for all you do for us!
Pele D.
They are true dog lovers and welcomed our HUGE large breed dog without hesitation. The facilities are top notch, clean, spacious, and when our dog stays there overnight, he sleeps on a human bed... as all the dogs do!! He isn't even allowed to do that at home. LOL Just follow their instagram for funny photos. Pelé is truly living his best life when he is with Lacey and Company, and we know that he is getting just as much (if not more!) love and attention when we are away. While we do of course miss him, we can rest easy knowing and trusting that he is truly cared for, not just stuck in a kennel all day. I highly recommend Playful Pups to anyone that is in need of either daycare or boarding. :)

Playful Pups Doggy Daycare is a fantastic place for any dog lover looking for top-notch care for their furry friend. The staff is incredibly friendly and professional, ensuring each dog receives individual attention and love. The facility is clean, spacious, and equipped with various activities to keep dogs entertained and active throughout the day. My dog always comes home happy and well-exercised. I highly recommend Playful Pups for anyone seeking a safe and fun environment for their pet!
Paw-sitive Words From Our Clients:
FACILITY TOUR VIDEO!
Lend a helping paw!
We are working with dog rescue organizations to provide temporary housing for dogs that have either been abandoned or have been saved from meat trade operations abroad, with some of the dogs having been in our care for over 6 months.
​
If you can donate even a few dollars to assist us with these costs it would allow us to help the rescues save more of these dogs. Thanks in advance for your support!
