Dog Daycare

Let your pup come play with us!

Dropping your dog off at daycare is about more than keeping them busy while you are at work. It’s also a great way to help them build confidence, make new friends, and burn off excess energy. At K9 Kampus, your dog will spend much of their day in fun, supervised playgroups, with rest breaks sprinkled in for safety. For the safety of our staff and our canine clients, we limit the number of dogs that come in each day to maintain a manageable environment that isn’t overwhelming. For this reason, we do highly recommend reserving your pup's daycare by 5pm a minimum of 1 day in advance. Walk-ins may be turned away if we have already hit our max for the day.

There will always be experienced, animal-loving staff to keep a close eye on your dog to make sure they’re safe, happy, hydrated, and rested while in our care. K9 Kampus is proud to be the premier daycare destination in Melbourne.

Your dog deserves a day away just as much as you do, so bring them to K9 Kampus for a day of fun and excitement! Whether it is for a few hours or a few weeks, everyday is a Dogcation at K9 Kampus. Your dog will rotate play between our Indoor and Outside Dog Parks throughout the day depending on the weather. During the summer, a maximum of 30 minutes of outside play is permitted depending on the temperature outside and your pup's breed. 

Dogs are social creatures by nature and require exercise, socialization and mental stimulation on a regular basis. Daycare satisfies these needs resulting in a happy, relaxed and well- adjusted dog. Let your dog enjoy a romp with friends while you work, run errands, have meetings, or shop nearby. Daycare is a great alternative than leaving your dog home alone for long stretches of time, especially if you often wonder what type of mess you’ll find when you return, or if you hate to leave your dog crated all day long.

We’re pleased to offer a beautiful non-porous floor that eliminates odors and ensures a clean environment. Our indoor play yards offers dogs a friendly place to play without the hassle of rain or extreme temperatures, dirt, mud and you don’t have to worry about fleas or ticks because they can’t live or breed in our environment. All areas indoor are air conditioned, and fresh water is always available in all areas your pup will spend time in

Our outside play yard has artificial turf, which eliminates your pup going home muddy and flea and ticks cannot survive on it.

Daycare dogs are carefully monitored by our pet pals that are trained in canine body language and are always nearby to act as a pack leader. This provides a positive structure for the dogs and also an added measure of safety. Our facility has the ability to be separated in 9 different play areas to separate dogs according to size, age, and personality if need be. We specialize in working with our four legged clients on proper socialization behaviors for all sizes of dogs.

Doggie Daycare can be as brief or as long as you need it to be and our hours are designed to accommodate your busy schedule. Although daycare hours are from 7am to 5pm, (Monday thru Friday) and 9am to 4pm (Saturday and Sunday) you can pre-arrange an earlier drop off time or take advantage of our play date accommodations after 5pm until we close, additional fees may apply. We do allow a 45-minute grace period for pick up Monday-Friday after 5pm without any additional fees.  Please see our facility hours for more details. After hours pick-ups and drop-offs must be pre-arranged. Please note that a Temperament Evaluation is required prior to participating in Daycare.
