Small dogs often do best in a setting where they can play with dogs of similar size. At K9 Resorts Sterling, dogs are grouped by size to support a more appropriate daycare experience. This allows small dogs to enjoy activity and socialization in a way that better fits their needs.
Before joining group play, every new dog completes our daycare evaluation and integration process. Our team introduces dogs thoughtfully, one by one, while taking natural dog behavior into account. This process helps us learn more about each dog's personality and play style before they join group play.
Approved doggie daycare guests enjoy all-day group play in our indoor and outdoor play areas. For dogs who are not participating in group play, we also offer private play sessions with a trained team member, providing individualized attention and enrichment.
Our outdoor yards feature K9 Grass, a state-of-the-art turf system designed specifically for dogs with Microban antimicrobial technology and a proprietary drainage system. It creates a soft, durable and paw-friendly surface for outdoor activity.
Pet parents choose K9 Resorts because every detail is carefully designed. Our Sterling resort offers a premium environment, climate-controlled spaces and team members who understand the importance of structure, enrichment and thoughtful care.
Our team completes comprehensive training that may include Professional Pet Boarding Certification, Pet First Aid & CPR and ongoing education. This training helps team members understand natural dog behavior, guide positive interactions and provide thoughtful care throughout the day.
The K9 Clean System reflects our purpose-driven approach to total dog wellness. It includes advanced HVAC systems, Pet Aerapy UV-light technology, antimicrobial flooring and thoughtful sanitation protocols using pet-safe products.
For small dogs, daycare provides exercise, mental engagement and supervised socialization. Our K9 Playtime Activity Series also adds enrichment and variety beyond group play, helping keep dogs engaged while they're with us.
