Play My Way: Personalized Play for Every Dog

One-on-One Play for Socially Selective Dogs

Play My Way is a personalized dog daycare and boarding option designed for dogs who prefer one-on-one play, human interaction, or enrichment-based activities instead of group play. It’s ideal for socially selective dogs, high toy-drive dogs, and families looking for a flexible daycare alternative.

No temperament test required. Unaltered dogs welcome.

What’s Included:

  • One-on-One play with a dedicated caregiver

  • Outdoor time for movement and fresh air in our updated play yards

  • Enrichment & brain games like agility, puzzles, and scent work

Who It’s For:

  • Socially selective dogs

  • High toy-drive dogs

  • Unaltered dogs

  • Dogs who prefer people over groups

Wellness Benefits:

  • Reduced stress and anxiety

  • Safe, structured engagement

  • Improved confidence

  • Cardiovascular health

  • Mental stimulation and cognitive enrichment

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.

The staff always treat my Pippa so well and truly care about her and her well-being!

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.
