What does a typical day at daycare include?
It’s simple, play, rest, play…
All dogs will be greeted by our friendly staff when they arrive at Bark & Brew. When we check your pup in, we’ll note any special instructions or needs for the day.
Dogs are divided into groups based on size, temperament, and energy levels. And then the fun begins! Your pup will engage in supervised play sessions which allow for plenty of social interaction. Water stations are always available for hydration. Weather permitting, dogs enjoy supervised outdoor play in our secure area. We’ll also provide your pup time to wind down with some cozy resting areas.
Our goal when you arrive is that you’re picking up a happy, tired pup.

Why the name Bark & Brew?
At Bark & Brew we have created a doggy daycare designed with both pups and their people in mind. Inspired by the simple wish to grab a good coffee while dropping off our dogs, we created a space where convenience meets community. Whether you're in a rush or have time to relax, Bark & Brew offers a warm, welcoming spot to connect with neighbors over a cup of coffee—while your dog enjoys a day of fun and care.
