Daycare

A safe, clean space to Play & Rest

Kona, October '22 Pup of the Month
Colby's Pup since May 2022

Your Pup is Never Bored

Pups need a minimum of 90 minutes of solid exercise each day. At Colby’s, your pup will be able to play with like-minded canines while being doted on by our loving team.

We genuinely love playing with your pup every day because we see how very happy it makes them.

Our staff spends quality time with your little one, allowing them to burn off extra energy, get a good sniff in, and enjoy the companionship of other curious and playful canines, as well as caring and loving humans.

As a result, your pup feels less lonely, less bored, and less likely to gnaw off the legs of your couch.

We'll Meet You Curbside!

Dog ownership brings light to our lives, yet it can also be exhausting. That is why we constantly look for ways to make your life easier.

If you call us with as little as ten minutes’ notice, we will be waiting for you at the curb. We work with you to know your unique needs. And perhaps most importantly, at the end of the day, we return to you a content and exhausted pup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Thinking about Daycare for your pup? Here's everything you need to know!

How do I schedule Daycare for the first time?

Before becoming a Colby's pup, all pups must complete an Assessment Day.

You can think of an Assessment Day like a free day of Daycare. You can drop off Frank anytime after 7am (most parents drop off between 8 and 10), but we recommend making sure you have 10-15 minutes available so that we can make sure we have all your information & give you a tour of the facility.

We ask that you leave Frank with us for a minimum of 6 hours so that we can get to know him/her and vice versa. You may pick up any time until 7pm.

When you come by to pick up your pup, we will have a frank conversation about whether or not Colby's is the right fit. To schedule an Assessment Day, submit a request here. We will get back to you confirming your reservation.

Can all pups attend Daycare?

We are happy to care for pups of any size and weight, from four months old through adulthood. Pups may start as early as three months when also enrolled in our Puppy Foundations class.

For the well-being of our canine children, we ask that you not bring your pup if he or she is aggressive or unusually fearful. Similarly, your pup would be happier at home while recovering from an injury or illness.

Does my pup need to be spayed or neutered?

What are the vaccination requirements?

We require all pup parents to upload a photo or PDF of their pup’s vaccination certificate(s). We take health and safety very seriously and require certification from your vet that your little one has been vaccinated against:

Bordetella (Canine Cough)
DHPP/DA2PP (Distemper, Hepatitis,
Parainfluenza, and Parvovirus)
Canine Influenza
Leptospirosis
Rabies

We also ask that your pup has an annual fecal screening. They also should not have ticks, fleas, or other pests and have any and all legal licenses.

Note: Sometimes, the DHPP vaccine includes an "L" for Leptospirosis (DHLPP), which is good for a year.

Are deposits required for Daycare reservations?

What is your cancelation policy?

You may cancel any service for any reason with a minimum of 12 hours notice for a full refund. All cancellation requests should be made by phone or email.

If a cancelation is made with less than 12 hours window (or you do not show up for a reservation/appointment), your deposit or a package credit will be forfeited.

Note: All "holiday reservations" (reservations made for November 18 through 26 and/or December 22 through January 1) are non-refundable. All deposits are final.

Can my pup be walked while they are at Colby’s?

Yes, walks are available to add to any Daycare or Sleepover reservation. Walks are $15 for once around the block. All walks are one-on-one, and we adhere to stringent safety protocols during walks, including physically clipping leashes to our belts and using Colby’s harnesses containing GPS tracking.

Walks are included for Platinum and Pedigree Memberships. Package holders receive a 50% discount.

What if I need to drop off my pup early or pick up late?

Colby's Dogcare & Spa is absolutely amazinng! Not only does our pup Zambi absolutely love going to Colby's, the professionalism of the staff is unsurpassed. We first took Zambi for an assessment day when he was a 5 months old puppy - it is the first and only daycare and sleepover center we will ever use for him! The packages are affordable, Michael is a joy to work with and so is each and every staff member I have ever interacted with. I highly recommend taking your pup to Colby's!

Colby's is an excellent daycare and groomer. They keep the census very low compared to other places in the city--they're more expensive than average, but you get what you pay for. In fact, at Colby's, you get what you can't buy--genuine kindness and compassionate care for your dog. In particular, Michael, the owner, is one of the nicest people I've met (and I'm from the Midwest), and he seems to be on site and working with the dogs most days.

My Ernie really enjoys going to Colby's. I most love the kind and considerate staff and how they are attentive and care for my special needs (diabetic) boy. From the first day with his assessment, I felt safe and confident leaving him in their care. With my work schedule, I appreciate the early opening time and that he can stay overnight if need be. I'm so grateful I found this place! Ernie now rides to DC with me and is only a few blocks away from my office.

I have a sometimes shy 2 year old pup who is clearly very picky about his daycare. We’ve tried several places over the last two years and he makes it known which ones he likes best. In DC, Colby’s is it. Initially somewhat scared cause he thinks he’s at the vet anytime he smells lots of other dogs, he now RUNS inside in excitement. They clearly take very good care of my boy and he gets all the play time he needs while also getting his necessary downtime alone to recoup (like an introvert at a party, he’s gotta have his alone time after). I boarded him for the first time ever a few weeks ago and he came home happy and tuckered out after three days. Very grateful for Colby’s!

We love love love Colby’s! Our dog, Mordi, literally runs down the block and towards the door as soon as he realizes where we are going. Mordi comes home tired (in the best way) and happy every time. All the staff are extremely loving, even getting excited when they see Mordi on a walk around the neighborhood. Michael and his team are so responsive and very accommodating. We have only great things to say! So thankful we are part of the Colby’s community.
