Tired dog.
Happy human.

Two fenced acres in Cedar Hollow, three yards, and a person awake in the building all night. Daycare from $28 a day, boarding from $58 a night, and a camera on every yard so you can check in. We know you're going to check.

Daycare

Pick a day.
Or a pack.

Every daycare day is the same day: three yard rotations, a nap with the lights low, and a staffer in the yard the whole time, never just watching a monitor. Packs never expire and can be shared between dogs from the same house.

OptionWhat you getPricePer day
Half day Up to five hours, either half of the day. Good for puppies and seniors. $28 $28 a day
Full day Up to eleven hours. Drop off from 7, pick up by 6. $38 $38 a day
10-pack Ten full days. Never expire, shareable between siblings. $340 $34 a day
20-packBest value Twenty full days. The pack most two-days-a-week dogs are on. $620 $31 a day
Monthly unlimited Every open day in a calendar month, one dog. Auto-renews, cancel by text. $560 about $25 a day, five days a week

A second dog from the same house is 20% off any option. Late pick-up after 6 is $1 a minute, charged kindly but charged.

Boarding

Overnight,
with someone awake.

$58a night, any size

A night at Romp is a full day of daycare on both ends, a private suite with a window, and Marcus or Dani asleep down the hall. Not a camera, a person. Check-out is by noon; stay past that and the day counts as a half day.

  • Full daycare on drop-off day, and until noon on pick-up day
  • A private suite with a raised bed, a fleece blanket, and a window
  • A staff member in the building from 6pm to 7am, every night
  • Medications given on schedule, at no charge
  • A bedtime photo, texted to you between 8:30 and 9
Bring your dog's own food. Portioned by meal in bags or a labeled container. A new diet on a strange night is the fastest route to an upset stomach, so we don't offer house kibble. Forgot it? Bland chicken and rice is $6 a meal.
Holiday nights add $15. That's the Wednesday through Sunday of Thanksgiving, December 23 through January 2, and Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day weekends. Those dates book out about six weeks ahead.

The day

Seven to six,
hour by hour.

Every daycare day runs on this clock. Boarders get the same day, then dinner and a suite. The only thing that changes is which yard, and that depends on the weather and who's in.

  1. 7am

    Doors open.

    Collars checked, leashes on hooks, and the early birds are in the big yard by 7:15.

  2. 8am

    First rotation.

    Big yard for the big, small yard for the small, and the middle yard for the dogs who play politely regardless of size.

  3. 10am

    Water and a breather.

    Everyone comes in, everyone drinks, and the yards get scooped and hosed while nobody is looking.

  4. 11am

    Second rotation.

    Groups swap yards. When it's over 85 degrees the shaded acre opens and the turf yard closes.

  5. 12pm

    Lunch, then naps.

    Lunch for the lunch-eaters, then lights low and music on. Crates for the dogs who like them, mats for the ones who don't.

  6. 2pm

    Afternoon yards.

    The splash pool comes out May through September. Ankle deep, refilled twice a day, and somehow still the most popular thing on the property.

  7. 4pm

    Enrichment.

    Sniff walks along the creek fence, puzzle feeders, and a tug tournament that nobody officially wins.

  8. 5pm

    Wind-down and pick-up.

    Report cards go out by text at 5: who they played with, how they ate, whether they napped.

  9. 6pm

    Doors close.

    Boarders head to their suites for dinner. The overnight lead clocks in, and the lights go down at 9.

Before day one

Three things,
then you're in.

We keep the list short and we don't bend it. It's the same list that keeps your dog safe when it's someone else's dog we're talking about.

01

Vaccines

  • Rabiescurrent
  • DHPPcurrent
  • Bordetellawithin 12 months
  • Canine influenzarecommended

Email records to hello@romp.example or have your vet fax (555) 555-0148. Year-round flea and tick prevention, please.

02

Spayed or neutered

Dogs over seven months must be fixed to join group play. Under seven months, intact is fine, and we'll give you a nudge when the birthday comes around.

03

The temperament test

Free, about three hours, on a Tuesday or Thursday morning. Your dog meets one calm dog, then a small group, then a yard. We're watching how they recover from a surprise, not whether they have perfect manners.

Most pass. Some need a second visit. A few would be happier somewhere quieter, and we'll tell you that gently, and for free.

Add-ons

Ask at drop-off.

Anything below can be added to a daycare day or a boarding stay. Just say it at the counter, or text it in by 10.

$30to $45

Bath

Shampoo, blow-dry, ears wiped. Small dogs $30, big dogs $45. Doodles are big dogs.

$15

Nail trim

Dremel, not clippers. Add $5 for a dog with strong opinions about their feet.

$12

Extra play

Twenty minutes one-on-one with a staffer. Fetch, tug, or just the good ear scratches.

$20

Training walk

Thirty minutes of loose-leash work around the property with our trainer. Homework included.

The grounds

Two acres, three yards,
one pool.

Every yard is double-gated, fenced to six feet, and checked for holes each morning by a person walking the line. Grass where we can keep it, turf where we can't.

  • Big yardThree-quarters of an acre of grass for the forty-pound-and-up crowd.
  • Small yardA fenced quarter acre with a shade sail for dogs under twenty-five pounds.
  • Middle yardTurf, for the polite players of any size, and for anyone who needs a slower group.

The webcam

Watch the yard
from your desk.

There's a camera on every yard. Log in any day your dog is with us, 8 to 5; the link and password come with your confirmation. Boarders get a bedtime photo texted every night, whether or not you asked for one.

  • Live, 8 to 5All three yards and the nap room. No audio, on purpose.
  • A bedtime photo, every nightTexted between 8:30 and 9. Usually asleep, occasionally mid-yawn.
  • A report card at 5Who they played with, how they ate, whether they napped. Two sentences, no fluff.

The people

Sixteen humans.
All of them dog people.

Everyone on staff is pet first-aid certified and spends at least a month shadowing in the yards before they run one. Two of them, you'll meet on day one.

  • Priya Nandakumar Owner

    Ran the front desk at a boarding kennel for six years, then bought two acres and built the version she kept sketching on the back of intake forms.

  • Marcus Bell Overnight lead

    Sleeps in the building four nights a week and has never once let a thunderstorm go unhandled.
