Ellisville Dog Daycare

You know that tail-wagging, full-body-wiggle excitement your dog gets for a walk or a trip to the park? At Dogtopia of Ellisville, we give them that joy every single day. Whether you’re at the office, working from home, or just need a break, your pup spends the day in our safe, clean, open-play environment — running, learning, and making friends under the watchful eyes of our certified Canine Coaches.

In the evenings, they come home happy, tired, and better behaved… and you get peace of mind knowing they had the time of their life. We offer flexible dog daycare packages so it’s never been easier to give your dog the activity, attention, and care they deserve.

What is DOG DAYCARE?

Dogs are a lot like kids — they need stimulation, attention, socialization, and plenty of exercise to truly thrive.

At Dogtopia, dog daycare delivers all of that in one safe, structured, and fully supervised day. Instead of short backyard zoomies or hours alone at home, your pup enjoys:

• All-day open play with friends matched by size and play style
• Brain games, scent work, and positive reinforcement from our certified Canine Coaches
• Regular nap times and calm-down routines that teach impulse control

For puppies, this is the golden window for socialization. Controlled, positive introductions in dog daycare teach them how to greet politely, read body language, share toys, and stay calm around new people and sounds — dramatically reducing fear-based behaviors later in life.

For adult and senior dogs, regular daycare is the ultimate energy outlet and boredom-buster. A tired dog is a happy dog: less destructive chewing, less excessive barking, better manners, healthier weight, and a noticeably calmer demeanor when you walk through the door at night. Here’s a fun fact: dogs who attend Dogtopia get the equivalent of seven miles of activity each day, and our most active can get up to fifteen miles. Keeping your pup active ensures a longer and healthier life, and enjoy being able to relax by the time they’re home in the evening.

Bottom line: one day at Dogtopia does more for your dog’s physical health, confidence, and behavior than a week of short walks ever could. Check out our New Pet Parent Info — everything you need to know about requirements, the Meet & Greet process, and claim your first daycare day on us!

the Dogtopia of Ellisville difference

Every detail of our facility is designed with your dog’s health and comfort in mind. We feature four spacious indoor playrooms, each ranging from 1,500–2,000 sq. ft., that are fully climate-controlled to stay a comfortable 70 degrees and always bright and comfortable inside. Dog daycare also includes time in our secure outdoor play yard for fresh air and sunshine when weather permits.

We’ve made a major investment in your dog’s health with our Steril-Aire™ HVAC systems, which are engineered to kill airborne pathogens and keep the air fresh and clean. Each playroom is completely divided to reduce shared air between groups, creating a healthier indoor environment. This is especially beneficial for breeds like pugs, French bulldogs, boxers, and other brachycephalic dogs, which are more prone to overheating and respiratory strain.

A TEAM YOU CAN TRUST

Dogtopia’s Certified Canine Coaches complete a rigorous training program before they ever run a playroom. Our curriculum is approved for continuing education credits by the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT) and includes additional coursework developed by Dogtopia’s Canine Behaviorist and owner Nick Losciuto. Coaches learn canine body language, positive reinforcement, and safe play management so they can read each dog’s behavior and respond with the right approach in real time. They can also give you practical tips for using the same positive methods at home. Dogtopia of Ellisville is also a certified Top Dog facility, which means these standards are reviewed and upheld on an ongoing basis.

Schedule a complimentary Meet & Greet where our team can get to know your dog, complete a full evaluation, and recommend the daycare plan that fits their needs and your routine.
