Wichita’s Best Doggy Day Care and Boarding Kennel.
Paws to Play is Wichita’s best doggone doggy day care. We limit the size and number of dogs we serve to insure their safety and comfort and to give them adequate play and resting spaces. Our play areas are visible to the public and all of our customers so they can observe the dogs playing as well as staff activities. Many people enjoy hanging out for a few minutes watching the dogs play, asking about different breeds, and getting acquainted with their own pup’s friends. Our dogs love greeting customers and showing off their “cuteness” . We are all about colorful, visually stimulating spaces. Many of our regular dogs are featured on our “wall of fame” with large pictures of themselves posing or playing with others. See us on Facebook for cute videos and pictures.
We cater exclusively to small breed dogs.
We cater exclusively to small breed and toy breed dogs, 30 pounds and under. Even the smallest dogs can play freely and safely here because all of the other dogs are just their size! We have plenty of soft, comfy places that are perfect for a well-deserved nap after playing with toys, chasing balls, playing tag with other paw pals, practicing some basic “good manners” and getting lots of individual attention. Very small dogs or young puppies may prefer to play in our “Small Wonders” play area for dogs under 10lbs. While they are not restricted to that area, it’s set up with foam pads, soft pillows, and little toys and water dishes that are perfect and safe for even the smallest dogs. They are always within staff”s view and hearing and they get plenty of people play also. This room also serves as one of our cage free sleeping areas for our overnight guests who need some extra comforts at night.
Convenient hours and rates
We offer extended hours and hourly rates for your convenience. No appointment is necessary once your pet has been registered with its current shot records and your contact information – just drop them off while you’re at work or out running errands, or when they need some extra exercise and fun. Some customers choose to drop off at 7am and pick up at noon. Others may come in at 1pm and pick up at 6pm. Some come for the whole day. We try to be flexible to meet your schedule as much as possible. We’re open for day care weekdays from 6am to 6:30 pm. Sat. 9am to 1pm. Of course, staff is always in attendance throughout the weekend and overnight.
Cage free options for boarding.
Because many of our little guys are not used to being kenneled at night, preferring to snuggle up to their humans we offer cage free boarding options. That’s ok with us. We have 5 different rooms where our overnight guests can choose to sleep with their own blanket or pillow in an open kennel or even on the couch or chair. Owners may bring favorite bedding if they like, but we also provide plenty of cushy, soft blankets to sleep on. Usually, after a fun day of playing, meeting new friends, running all over, playing tug and chasing, everyone is ready to get into a comfy, cozy sleeping space with lights down low and music on. Of course, staff is available all night in case one of the pups seems anxious or has difficulty settling in.
We also have wire kennels available or owners may bring their own if they wish.
Of course, our staff will be on-site overnight whenever there is a dog being boarded. Come by for a visit and you’ll see the difference. Our facility is full of bright colors that dogs love and includes a play deck where they can look out the window and a “Dog Den” for quiet naptime. We’re never overcrowded.
Attention out of area travelers! Many people come here to board their dogs when traveling through Kansas on vacation or when they come to Wichita for temporary work, visiting, RVing, etc. The dogs get a great play experience, some well deserved exercise and socializing before hitting the road again. Call or email us for a reservation or for just some day time play.
