Getting Started!

Ready to get started? You're one step away. If this is your first visit, welcome to the family. We'll get your pup set up with a free assessment day so we can meet them, give them the lay of the land, and make sure free play is the right fit. Already part of the Ark crew? Hop right into your portal to book daycare, boarding, or grooming in a few taps. Either way, your best friend is in good hands.


Click "Get Started!", fill out a contact form and our team will reach out to get you all set up for your first day!

What to expect during your first visit.

At The Ark, we hold the firm belief that every breed is unique and special, with no inherently "bad" dogs. However, our off-leash, group-play setting might not be the perfect match for every canine. Prioritizing the safety of our furry guests, we require every newcomer to undergo an initial Meet & Greet session to determine their compatibility with our daycare environment.


For this Meet & Greet assessment:


  • Kindly keep your dog on a leash or slip lead, accompanied by a collar/harness, both in the parking area and as you step into our welcoming lobby.
  • Anticipate a 10-20 minute assessment, overseen by our skilled evaluation expert. 
  • While we're getting to know your pup, feel free to explore our facility, ask any questions, and enjoy a sneak peek through our playroom cameras!
