About us
Our Story
Stay N Play Doggie Daycare was founded from the heart — inspired by our own small dogs and the belief that they deserve more than just a place to be dropped off.
In St. Thomas, we saw a need for a daycare experience built specifically for little dogs — one that focused on their safety, social development, and emotional well-being.
So, we created Stay N Play: a boutique-style daycare where every detail is designed with care, every interaction is intentional, and every dog is treated like family.
As dog parents ourselves, we understand how much trust it takes to leave your pup in someone else’s care — and we’re honored to be that trusted home-away-from-home.
Our Team
Our team includes certified trainers and canine behavior professionals with expertise in positive reinforcement, behavior adjustment training, and enrichment-based care.
We’re proud to offer programs that support both social skills and confidence-building — from our Minds and Manners sessions, and C.L.A.S.S. to one-on-one enrichment tailored to each dog’s needs.
We have a certified Trick Dog Judge, behavior consultants, and trainers with a total of over 100 years of training. All our staff, receive special training so your pup can have fun while learning new skills (and maybe even earn a title or two!).
