Comfort, supervision and individual attention

Small Groups Change Everything

Dogs are matched by size, temperament, energy and comfort.

Expandable safety gates keep each group of up to five dogs comfortably sectioned off, so our team can supervise closely, redirect calmly and give each dog the attention they need.

  • Tiny, compatible groups
    Dogs are matched carefully instead of being placed in one large room.
  • Calm, consistent redirection
    Overstimulation can be interrupted before it becomes a problem.
  • Personal attention when needed
    Dogs can move to another activity or enjoy one-on-one time.

Why Indoor Daycare Works Better for Small Dogs

A clean, predictable, comfortable environment lets your dog play and grow without unnecessary stress.

Year-Round Comfort

Climate control keeps your dog comfortable through Ontario's heat, cold and everything in between.

No Mud, Ticks or Harsh Weather

Your dog stays clean, comfortable and protected indoors, year-round.

Clean, Controlled Environment

Every space is sanitized consistently with professional pet-safe products, keeping your dog healthy and protected.

Familiar Homelike Spaces

Comfortable rooms feel safer than cages or noisy open play yards.

Safer Small-Group Play

Small, matched groups and close supervision mean problems get caught and calmed before they start.

Rest Without Isolation

Quiet spaces let your dog nap, decompress and recharge between activities. No matter where your dog is, they can see other dogs, and people.

Questions from dog parents

Frequently Asked Questions

Stay N Play is an indoor, climate-controlled dog daycare designed especially for little dogs. The predictable temperature helps small, senior and long-coated dogs remain comfortable through Ontario’s summer heat, winter cold and changing weather. An indoor facility also reduces exposure to mud, ticks, standing water and harsh outdoor conditions while allowing our team to clean and sanitize the environment consistently. Indoor does not mean inactive: each day can include matched social play, movement, enrichment, Minds & Manners activities, comfortable rest and individual attention.

We keep a maximum of five dogs in each section and match dogs according to size, temperament, energy level and comfort. Smaller groups make it easier for trained staff to watch body language, recognize when a dog needs space and calmly redirect excitement before it escalates. If a dog is becoming overwhelmed, staff can change the activity, move the dog to a quieter section or provide individual attention. Dogs are not expected to remain in a large open-play group all day, and we do not force a dog to socialize when rest or space would be the healthier choice.
Many nervous or sensitive little dogs find a small, predictable group easier to manage than a busy open-play daycare. We ask owners to tell us about their dog’s fears, triggers, favourite treats, routines and comfort signals so our team can respond thoughtfully. Introductions to the environment and other dogs can happen gradually, and a dog can receive quiet time or individual attention instead of being pushed into group play. Daycare must still be a safe and appropriate fit for the individual dog, so our team will discuss any concerns with you honestly.
Yes. Your dog’s vaccination records must be submitted and reviewed before we can accept your dog into our care. Please do not wait until drop-off to provide the records, because we need time to confirm that the required information is complete before your dog enters the daycare environment. If you are unsure what records are currently required, contact Stay N Play before booking and our team will tell you what needs to be submitted.
