Who we are
At Dakota and Friends, there's an exciting and loving environment waiting for your canine friends! We provide beautiful and safe indoor-outdoor play areas with plenty of space to socialize and get energy out.
We also have a convenient self-wash bathing station so you can keep them looking and feeling their best. Previously known as "Dog Buddies," this beloved dog daycare facility was re-opened by a customer whose pup couldn't bear to lose it. A newly improved space with the same team, Dakota and Friends loves the pack like our own! Come bring your dog to make some friends, and keep up with their daily shenanigans on our Instagram @DakotaandFriendsDogServices.
What sets us apart?
At Dakota and Friends, we take pride in offering a more personalized and attentive experience for your beloved pup. Unlike high-volume daycares, where dogs are often split into large groups and shuffled in and out of kennels, our smaller packs allow each dog to get the attention they deserve. This means more one-on-one time with our team, allowing us to get to know your dog’s unique personality, preferences, and needs.
A smaller group setting means a less crowded environment where the dogs have more room and freedom to have fun. Our spacious playroom and yard serve as a more relaxed atmosphere where dogs can bond and play without the stress of being separated or crammed into overcrowded spaces.
Beyond all the fun, our setting is ideal for safety, as well as fostering good behavior and socialization. In chaotic high-volume daycares, bad habits can easily form and accidents are more likely to happen; but our smaller groups, supervised by an attentive team, create a safer controlled environment. We intervene quickly when needed, maintaining safety and helping your dog develop positive social skills. Here, there is less chaos, less stress, and more fun!
With a more exclusive, close-knit experience, each pup forms a real, personal relationship with our passionate team. We know all their names, we know their quirks, and we make it our mission to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy during their time with us. This level of care, attention, and individualized focus is what sets us apart—we believe every dog deserves to feel special, be safe, and have fun in their own way.
