Pet Daycare/Boarding

Pet Daycare & Boarding in Kittery, ME

Welcome to Dogs Applaws Pet Grooming LLC, where your pet can enjoy safe, supervised daycare and boarding in a caring, familiar environment. We combine our grooming expertise with attentive daily care for pets of all ages.

Understanding Pet Daycare & Boarding

Pet daycare and boarding give your dog or cat a comfortable place to stay when you’re at work, traveling, or simply need a trusted space for your pet to socialize and stay active. Daycare offers supervised playtime and companionship during the day, while boarding provides overnight or extended stays with the same attentive care.

At Dogs Applaws Pet Grooming LLC, our team keeps a close eye on every pet in our care, monitoring feeding schedules, medication needs, and overall comfort throughout their stay. Because grooming is part of our everyday work, we’re especially attentive to coat, skin, and hygiene needs during longer stays. Whether your pet needs a few hours of daytime supervision or a multi-day boarding stay, we treat every guest with the same one-on-one attention we bring to our grooming appointments.

Pricing

Full Day Daycare: $30 | Half-Day Daycare: $15 | Overnight Boarding: $30 per night. Prices may vary based on your pet's size, coat, and condition. See our full pricing page for complete details.

What to Expect During Pet Daycare & Boarding

Choosing daycare or boarding for your pet is a big decision, and we want you to feel confident in our care. Here’s what to expect at Dogs Applaws Pet Grooming LLC:

Check-In and Care Consultation

Every stay begins with a short consultation covering feeding schedule, medications, temperament, and any special routines your pet is used to at home, so we can keep things as familiar as possible.

Supervised Playtime and Rest

Pets enjoy a balance of supervised social time and quiet rest periods throughout the day, with our team monitoring energy levels and comfort to keep every stay calm and positive.

Comfortable Overnight Accommodations

For boarding guests, we provide a clean, secure space for overnight stays, with regular check-ins to make sure your pet is settled, fed, and comfortable throughout the night.

Daily Updates and Personalized Attention

We keep an eye on each pet’s appetite, behavior, and hygiene throughout their stay, and we’re happy to share updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

Why Pet Daycare & Boarding Matters for Your Pet

Whether you need daily supervision or overnight care, a trusted daycare and boarding provider helps your pet stay comfortable, active, and well cared for whenever you can’t be there yourself. Consistent, attentive care reduces stress for both pets and owners.

Reduces Separation Anxiety

Pets that struggle with being left alone often do better with company and structure, and our team provides steady attention throughout the day or an overnight stay.

Supervised playtime and interaction help keep pets mentally and physically engaged, which can be especially helpful for high-energy dogs.
