Are you tired of worrying what your precious pooch is doing while you're away from the house? Do you ever feel guilty about leaving your four-legged family member home alone all day? Are you just too tired to play with Fido after a long day at work? Well, here's the answer - Crate Escape Doggie Daycare!
Did you know that day care for dogs has been shown to help reduce separation anxiety in our canine friends? And dogs that attend doggie daycare show fewer signs of stress. It's no wonder, with all the running and playing they do during the day, they're just all tuckered out when they get home.
All the dogs at doggie daycare participate in playtime activities, both inside and outdoors, with other dogs of similar size and temperament. They are allowed to go at their own pace but, rest assured, there will be ample rest times throughout the day.
Unless specifically requested, meals will not be provided except to sleepover guests and puppies. In these cases, in order to ensure digestive consistency (that is, no tummy upsets either here or when you get home), we ask that you provide your dog's regular diet. Treats will be offered as appropriate to all doggie visitors.
Services offered are:
* day care (now doggy day out $25 day)
* sleepovers in your home (will travel up to 3 hours), insured/bonded
* trips to groomer, vet, etc.
* pet taxi drop-off pick ups (in area), all doggy day outs include pick up and drop off
* home-made doggy treats
* field trips
* crate-free overnights
* puppy daycare socialization
* behavior consultations
* behavior modification
* Pet Care Plus
We are open 7 days a week. We have an insurance coverage against injury. We offer after-a-sleepover specialty items and multi-pet discounts. We also offer many in-home services including overnights, dog walks, pet visits, and more.

They've been sending pics, updates on how the pets were doing. They also did a great job with my pet that's handicapped.
Everything was great! They also had the courtesy to stay longer to wait for me and make sure I'm on my way back. They were beyond we expect from an average service. I would recommend them to anyone we know looking for a pet sitter!

This is the best place to bring your dog/puppy. Lisa and Heather really know how to make your dog feel as if they were at home. Our dog goes once a week and absolutely loves it. We've used them for daily care as well overnights and I really can't say enough about them. In the past we would put our dogs in a kennel and they would be left in crates or cages for hours. Crate Escape doesn't do that at all, they dogs are constantly playing and enjoying fun time with other dogs. I wouldn't bring my dogs anywhere else, ever!!!

Heather's doggie daycare is a complete win-win ~ my dog has never been happier & loves his friends and field trips & treats and all the love he gets when he's there. He comes home happy and tired. When I'm working, I feel great that he's not home alone in his crate. I love the pictures and videos of my "Henry" at play...I feel that I'm enhancing the quality of his life by letting him attend ddc. Thanks Lisa, Heather, Jessica & all the staff ~ you rock☺

A. yes, def take time to look through website, contact 2-3 references, and also see our facebook page.......which offers daily doggys day out post & in home overnight care posts! The more you read the mosre you fine out about the person you will be hiring!
A. Social dogs make the VERY best pets!! Knowing how well your dog does with dogs as well as people can really make for the best pet!! Pet owners taking time to not only train and teach their dogs but making sure they are social is KEY to a well behaved and less stressed pup!!
A. We offer crate free boarding at a reasonable price. Our facility offers a home environment for your pup while you are away. A night of boarding also includes a day of doggy daycare.
A. I absolutely love all the different breeds we meet and seeing them play and inner-act with one another is amazing!! Never the same dull routine, and def never a dull moment!!
At night (pet hotel) you will see 2-7 pups all cuddled together as if they were from the same homes. It is a very rewarding job!!
A. Are all dogs that board with you friendly?
Yes! All dogs must go through a temperament test along with a meet and greet before they are allowed to board or attend doggy daycare. As well all dogs are vetted to age and fixed if over 6mo.
A. We post pictures and videos daily/weekly on our facebook page. This tells many stories of how happy our dogs are and how much fun we have doing what we do!! If you go to our FB page and like CRATE ESCAPE you will see our story and maybe even a familiar pup!! Pictures tell a 1000 words and so do smiles on our crate escape pups and pet hotel guests!!
A. our profession is very unique in we are family run and very personal. If you hire us, you will get daily text, pics, emails, and face book updates! You will love all the extras your pup or pet will receive. Being a small business we are able to meet most needs of our clients as well as many extras we just add on as courtesy for using our service!
A. In home pet sitting I drove 2.5 hours stayed with 2 adorable pups (one a senior the other handicap) in a cabin in the mountains, very primitive.no tv, cable, etc. but it was wonderful!
The pups were amazing and fairly easy care, which left time to do laundry, dust, vacuum, & tidy a bit. I love what I do and am happy to travel, and do many extras to ensure you and your pets will invite me back!
