Ellisville Dog Daycare

You know the confident, relaxed version of your dog after a day of high activity? At Dogtopia of Ellisville, we build that outcome through structured daycare: supervised open-play, matched groups, and a routine that balances activity with a planned rest period. Whether you are at the office, working from home, or traveling, your dog spends the day in a clean, purpose-built environment led by certified canine coaches you can trust. Check in during the day on our live webcams to see for yourself and enjoy watching your dog play.

We offer flexible dog daycare packages so you can choose a routine that fits your dog and your schedule. When your dog returns home, the goal is to see calmer behavior, healthier habits, and a higher quality of life.

What is DOG DAYCARE?

Dogs need more than quick walks and backyard breaks. They need consistent structure, healthy social exposure, and the right amount of activity to continue being healthy.

At Dogtopia, daycare combines those needs into one supervised day built around:

• Open-play with dogs matched by size and play style

• Mental and physical stimulation with positive reinforcement led by certified Canine Coaches

• Planned rest periods and calm-down routines that support impulse control

For puppies

For adult and senior dogs

Regular daycare provides consistent exercise and social engagement in a structured routine. For many families, that translates into fewer nuisance behaviors at home and a calmer dog in the evenings.

We can also quantify what “a full day of play” really means. Dogtopia’s DASH is a playroom-approved activity monitor that tracks steps, distance traveled (minutes and miles), calories burned, and time resting, both in daycare and at home. Dogtopia data shows dogs in daycare can get 60% to 70% more steps than dogs who spend their day at home. In our playrooms, many dogs log 7+ miles of activity in a day, and some of our most active can reach up to 15 miles.

Schedule a complimentary Meet & Greet to meet our team, tour the facility, and complete a structured evaluation so we can recommend the daycare routine that best fits your dog and your schedule.
