DAYCARE

The Ultimate Daycare Experience in the Roanoke Valley with 5 separate playgrounds and plenty of space to run and play!

When your dog comes to Daycare at Canine Cottage Salem, you can rest assured that your pup is having the most engaging and enjoyable day possible in a supervised environment. They also receive lots of love and attention from our trained staff throughout the day. We treat your dog like our own!

All dogs receive hours of socialization and playtime in our unique open play environment across 5 separate Yards. This allows us to pair dogs of similar size and personality which enhances their overall experience. This also means plenty of time out in the yards and free to run and hang out!

For maximum playtime, we recommend dropping off close to open and picking up at the end of the day. If you would prefer your dog to be out playing in shorter intervals, we are more than happy to accommodate your needs – just let our staff know when you drop off.

Canine Cottage Salem offers Daycare 5 days a week. We can accommodate dogs of all breeds and sizes. Play groups are largely based on size, age, and personality of each of our dogs. Reservations can conveniently be made via the Paw Partner App. Click the Book Now link below to set up your next play day!

Daycare Guidelines

Evaluation: A New Dog First Day Evaluation is required for all new dogs prior to setting up regular Daycare or Boarding. This will determine whether your dog is comfortable in playgroups and in our facility! Important: Any signs of aggressive behavior towards our Staff or other dogs will result in immediate dismissal from the Cottage.
Vaccinations: Please make sure you or your vet have provided us with updated vaccination records. We require Rabies, DHPP and Bordetella (you may need to ask for this one specifically as it’s not a standard vaccination). You can easily upload your vaccination records via the Paw Partner App. You may also bring the records in with you or have them emailed to us.
Reservations: Reservations are required for daycare to ensure we have room for your dog, and we’ll be happy to put you on a recurring schedule, if easier. Please note that Daycare may not be available around holidays or during inclement weather.
Lunch: You are welcome to bring lunch or a snack for your dog – please be sure to clearly label the food. Lunch will be given midday, depending on what time your dog is inside on rotation. We do not feed Daycare dogs unless specifically requested.
Overnight: If something comes up and you are unable to pick up your dog for any reason, please do not fret! We will be happy to keep your dog overnight, just be sure to let our staff know as soon as possible if your circumstances change.
