We\u2019re passionate about providing a home-away-from-home for your pet, with your peace of mind at heart. Our #1 priority is your dog\u2019s safety, which is why at our dog daycare center, we offer separate playrooms based on temperament, size, and play style. Our daycare is different in that dogs are in open play for up to 10 hours per day, with constant supervision from our highly trained canine coaches.\u00a0 All while you can check in on LIVE playroom webcams from home (in case YOU are having some separation anxiety).\u00a0 Our rooms are sanitized twice daily to keep the facility as clean as possible!<\/p>\n<p>In addition to daycare, we also offer both boarding and spa services. As a partner in parenting your pet, we&#8217;d like to help enhance the job of pet parenthood by offering services to enrich your life with your dog<\/p>\n<p>Thse services include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dogtopia.com\/pittsburgh-eastside\/dog-daycare\/\">Dog daycare<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dogtopia.com\/pittsburgh-eastside\/dog-boarding\/\">Overnight and long-term boarding<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dogtopia.com\/pittsburgh-eastside\/dog-spa\/\">Spa services<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dogtopia.com\/pittsburgh-eastside\/webcams\/\">Webcam access<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>STATE-OF-THE-ART FACILITY<\/h2>\n<p>We\u2019ve designed our upscale facility with your pet in mind, keeping their health and safety our top priority. That\u2019s why, in each of our playrooms, you will find various features that promote the health and wellness of your pup.<\/p>\n<p>In our daycare play areas, we\u2019ve installed compressed rubberized flooring to ease the impact on your dog\u2019s joints while they play all day with their BFFF\u2019s. We\u2019ve also installed climate-controlled HVAC systems in each of our playrooms, which constantly pull fresh air from outside and keeps the playrooms (and your dog) smelling fresh and clean. Of course, having many dogs in one space can get a little messy! Not to worry though, as each room is deep cleaned and sanitized multiple times a day using a biologically-safe, pet friendly cleaner.<\/p>\n<p>Not sure if you\u2019re ready to jump into daycare just yet? We understand that pet parents can have a bit of separation anxiety when leaving their furry child at daycare with us, which is exactly why we\u2019ve installed live webcams in each playroom. While your pup is attending doggie daycare, feel free to check on them throughout the day via our website (excluding nap time and overnight \u2013 even pups need privacy!)<\/p>\n<p>Our team at Pittsburgh Eastside is passionate about dogs and dedicated to making every day at Dogtopia the Most Exciting Day Ever for your pet! Each one of our staff members has completed a rigorous training, designed by a canine behaviorist, on dog body language and behavior. We know how to handle dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, and we can recognize even the subtlest dog body language.
