Daycare for your dog is designed for dogs. It is intended to be engaging and provide them with a viewing experience from a dog’s point of view. Keep your dog entertained while you are at work and help them to socialize without leaving the house. This is TV for your dog to watch. Television for dogs!
our cozy solution
Unlike the average dog daycare in the pet industry, we provide an elite experience that includes a variety of environments, enrichment activities and nurturing. Here’s what your dog can enjoy:

Most boarding facilities keep your dogs away from humans most of the time. Here at Doggy Woods, your pets are with humans all day.

Our property offers an abundance of nature that your dog can explore. From trees to grassy fields and trails, your furry friend can enjoy physical and mental stimulation while discovering new scents, sights, and sounds outdoors. Our facility is designed to feel like a home away from home, where your dog can feel comfortable and fulfilled.

Regardless of the season, we aim to create a comfortable environment for all the dogs in our care. During the hot summer months, your dog can take a refreshing dip in our pool, offering them a fun way to cool off. On colder days, our cozy woodstove provides a warm place for your dog to relax after playtime.

If you can't visit Doggy Woods or can't make your time, join our pack with your call today. We encourage pet owners to use our online training sessions to cultivate desirable behaviors, social skills, and basic obedience using positive reinforcement.

Our dog boarding is open 365 days a year, providing consistent and reliable care for your pup while you're on vacation. Please note, however, that we do not have drop-offs or pickups for boarding on major holidays.
Daycare is available Monday through Saturday. Your dog will always have a safe and fun place to stay while you're at work! Holiday rates and terms apply for all services.

We are a site 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Never closed.

If you're a pet owner seeking a 24 hour dog daycare near you, our boarding services are ideal. We provide care for single-night stays and extended vacations, ensuring that your dog enjoys play, relaxation, and personalized care on our 10-acre property.

Dogs that are neutered or spayed, have proof of vaccination, and show no signs of illness can enjoy group play with other dogs. Socialization is essential for teaching dogs how to behave around other dogs, and it allows them to have positive interactions while under supervision.
Please note, we do not accommodate dogs that cannot be with other dogs or older dogs. However, we can help with anxious dogs. Our dog sitters can provide individual attention for pups who need a bit more space or have critical signs of stress.
Call us to make sure our romping, fun, adventure-filled retreat is right for your pup! Regardless of your dog's needs, we will make sure they have a good experience.

Posted on Michael SchraderTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience, Great family that runs the place. Daycare is wonderful for our puppy.Posted on Mark JohnstonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The owners are always very professional, and our dogs get excited as soon as I turn onto the road leading to Doggy Woods. They come home happy and exhausted... And the videos they take are great to have to see our dogs playing with the rest of the pack.Posted on Theresa TrueaxTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Doggy Woods Retreat is the best!! Bailey went for 10 days after there became a family emergency. Daily Facebook post videos were shared and I knew she was having the time of her life. Run, run, run, play, play, play!, Bailey was worn out for 3 days after returning home. I highly, highly recommend Doggy Woods Retreat and will be back soon. Thank you so much!Posted on Kristi McCulloughTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Doggy Woods is truly the best! We have a very high energy dog and she comes home tired and happy. We take her weekly to daycare and she is so excited when we arrive. We have also used them for overnights and training as well. All outstanding! I am so grateful to have found Doggy Woods!Posted on Desta GrahamTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Doggy Woods Retreat - A Dog Paradise! Bless my heart, I just have to tell everyone about the WONDERFUL place I found for our sweet Angie! Doggy Woods Retreat is truly a slice of heaven for your four-legged babies. When my husband landed in the hospital (he's fine now, thank the Lord), I was in such a pickle about what to do with Angie. A Google search mentioned Doggy Woods Retreat, and my goodness, what a blessing they turned out to be! This place is tucked away in the most beautiful wooded area near Port Susan RV park. I swear, that dog knows a good thing when she sees it. She is shy at first, but she adjusted well before I left. I know the next time I take her there her tail will be wagging in anticipation of a great play day! She is shy at first, but she adjusted well before I left. I know the next time I take her there her tail will be wagging in anticipation of a great play day! Our Angie is part greyhound, part lab, and ALL energy. At Doggy Woods Retreat, she got to run like the wind with other dogs on their spacious property. I wish you could have seen the smile on her face as she tore around those trees! Made me a bit jealous that I couldn't join in the fun myself! The proof is in the pudding, as they say - our girl has been sleeping like a log since she got home. Completely tuckered out! That's how you know they've had a grand time. Their rates? Reasonable as can be for the peace of mind they provide. Worth every penny to see my girl so happy and well cared for. You know what would be the cat's pajamas? If there was a bed and breakfast nearby! Then my husband and I could have our own little retreat while Angie enjoys hers. Maybe someday! We're already planning to take her back for a half-day of play. Just to let her have another rip-roaring good time with her new furry friends in the new Doggy Woods Retreat the dog "Disney Land" of Marysville! Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Doggy Woods Retreat, for taking such wonderful care of our Angie when we needed you most. You're a true godsend for dog lovers!Posted on Wade WatkinsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Doggy Woods took exceptional care of both our pups for the week! We wanted our two dogs to feel like they were on vacation, comfortable with good dogs and great people. They treated our pups like their own, could not be happier with their services! They came back happy and exhausted from the play and adventures. Highly recommend!
