PETS at PLAY

PETS at PLAY PETS at PLAY provides grooming, day care, boarding and pet sitting services. We are located in the heart of Church Hill.

We provide full service dog grooming needs. We are unique in the fact that all dogs have to be very social and friendly in order to participate in day care and boarding. Our day care dogs are never left unattended, they play all day and are never crated. Our clients appreciate we put safety first. The price for boarding includes day care. There is no separate fee to play if your dog boards. We look forward to serving your pet care needs.

🎅✨ SANTA CAME TO PETS AT PLAY! ✨🎅
Our good boys and girls got the ultimate surprise when Santa PAWS made a special stop just for them! The excitement was REAL — tails wagging, noses booping, and wish lists filled with toys, bones, cozy blankies, and maybe a few extra-special stocking stuffers. 😉

🐾❤️ Thank YOU to all of our amazing customers for making this year unforgettable. We love your pups like our own and can’t wait for all the fun to come in the new year!

🎄💚 Happy Howlidays from Pets at Play! 💚🎄
