Play My Way: Personalized Play for Every Dog

Every dog deserves a day that feels safe, engaging, and uniquely theirs. Play My Way is our premium daycare and boarding for dogs who thrive with one-on-one care, smaller groups, independent play, or a slower pace.

No temperament test required, and unaltered dogs are welcome.

Tailored Play, Tailored Care:

  • One-on-One Play: Dedicated handler time for dogs who prefer human attention over group play.
  • Outdoor Lodging: Regardless of your dog’s playstyle, they deserve time outdoors too.
  • Fungility & Brain Games: Mental stimulation through obstacle courses, enrichment puzzles, and fun challenges.
  • Rest & Relaxation: Plenty of breaks for dogs who need time to decompress or simply enjoy a slower-paced day.
  • Small-Group Enrichment: Carefully curated groups for selective dogs or those easing into social settings.

Because dog care isn’t just where they spend the day. It’s how they feel every moment. In Play My Way, they feel safe, understood, and happy—every time.

My highly anxious dog decided she no longer wanted to play with all of the other dogs in group play. The team at Best Friends suggested the All Dogs Welcome program with individual attention. She loves her caretakers and they enjoy her goofiness. While she does not get socialized with other dogs, I am happy that she interacts with people and is still exhausted when she comes home.

A Flexible Option for Every Pet Parent

Every pet parent deserves a safe, fun, and reliable resort option—whether it’s an emergency, a getaway, or just to shake up your dog’s week. Perfect for pups who don’t attend daycare often, board occasionally, or need a stress-free option without a temperament test or “new kid” day.

Snoozing at home is nice, but enriching play improves behavior, reduces boredom, and eases pet parent guilt. Our handlers design each day for your dog’s happiness—so you both feel great at pickup.

And on Player Card Fridays, you’ll get a fun, personalized card with notes from your dog’s day.
