Daycare

PWP Daycare

Our daycare is primarily a “free-range” daycare. The pack spends the day rotating between play groups in the yard and rest areas. We believe in meeting a dog’s individual needs and setting them up for success not only in our daycare, but for their lives at home as well. Our facility features ~12,000 square feet of pet grade, artificial turf.

The pack has access to a closed section on our porch as well as our “Fire Caves” (a covered shelter in our main yard), both of which contain cots for them to relax on, and heating/cooling elements to keep them comfortable all year long. Activities throughout the day may include: fetch, practicing basic manners, playing with our bubble machine, splashing in our doggie fountain & pools, pack “jogs”, getting cuddles from the Ruff Rangers, and various other enrichment experiences. If you are interested in adding social enrichment and exercise to your dogs routine, APPLY for the PWP Daycare Pack today.

  1. Dogs Must be a minimum of 6 months old to attend daycare. We often assign  half days to younger dogs as they build their tolerance to longer days and gain more social experience with other dogs.
  2. Pack Members are required to attend daycare a minimum of once a week. We encourage consistency so that dogs feel comfortable in a familiar and stable environment. 
  3. Parents receive daily report cards, access to cameras to watch all of the fun unfold, and specific and regular recommendations for each dog in our pack.
  4. Drop Off is between 7-10 am M-F.
  5. Pick Up is 6:30 M-TR and 5:30 on Friday.
  6. Each new pack member must PASS a scheduled assessment before they can enroll on our schedule. Please complete the application below.

They’re the best - hands down. We have tried a few places, and this staff absolutely cannot be topped. The grounds are always clean, they have a staff member with them at all times (a lot of places just let the dogs roam alone, and stand inside and chat and not actually watch the dogs), they take them into nap if they need a break, and also work on basic obedience. We’ve been going consistently for almost a year.”

We love PWP and their staff. Our dog cries to go there promptly at 4pm every day. She gets excited to see her friends (both dog & human kind). The staff are absolutely amazing; proactive in their approach, quick to act, and disciplined to their training & purpose. They do their best to keep the doggies, parents, and themselves safe & healthy. Recently with the new virus, they've stepped up their cleaning protocol, which is pretty intense in frequency & thoroughness. It is very much appreciated. I know it must be hard to balance all that and still be genuinely amazing people, but they somehow manage. My dog loves being here, I love being here, and I wish everywhere had a special place just like this.

Play.Wash.Pint. might be the best decision we ever made for our dog, Cedar. Cedar goes to daycare at PWP twice a week and he LOVES It. He is always super excited in the morning when he knows he is going and sleeps like a baby when he comes home. I love being able to check on him with their cameras during the day, often watching the Ruff Rangers give him ear rubs and nothing but love. I am so grateful that I can trust he is being well loved and taken care of when he’s there. The staff is amazing; the location is perfect; and my husband enjoys those beers on a Saturday afternoon. We love PWP and couldn’t imagine a more perfect place for the member of our family we love the most.

Our 9 month old Goldendoodle, Anna-Belle has been attending daycare at Play Wash Pint for 3 months now and we are very happy with it. She goes on the same day each week so she is familiar with the same pack of dogs. The groups are small enough for the Rough Rangers to attend to each dog. Anna-Belle is always warmly welcomed by the employees as we drop her off and I feel as though they have gotten to know her personality and how to work with her. She is incredibly social and loves this weekly interaction.

Finding a daycare for our high-energy puppy was a difficult choice to make. 3 years later, our dog still goes on a weekly basis and we couldn’t be happier with Play Wash Pint’s daycare services! Not only is PWP daycare the most fun day of the week for our dog, but the staff takes it above and beyond the average daycare by teaching the pack good manners and training skills. The Ruff Rangers are dependable, trustworthy and well-trained in dog body language and behavior – they clearly love what they do and let it show. There are so many amazing things about Play Wash Pint, but their daycare service is top-notch! Your furry best friend will thank you for giving them their new happy place!

Daycare day is our favorite day of the week! Woody and Theo get so excited for daycare in the morning they forget to eat breakfast. The staff is so excited to see them when we drop them off. The rough rangers work on their manners and social skills and they both come home exhausted. We look forward to reading their report cards and we can not recommend them enough!

We started taking our 2 year old golden retriever Georgia well over a year ago. To say that we are happy is an understatement. Georgia literally jumps out of the car with no leash and runs into the building excited to have friends to play with for another fun filled day!! Everyone at Play Wash Pint gives Georgia plenty of love an attention all day long! We take Georgia 5 days a week knowing she is at the best doggy day care center in Chattanooga!! Love it!!!

When first visiting Play. Wash. Pint. with my 13-year-old rescue dog, Zeus, I had no idea what a big part of our lives they would become! I first chose Play. Wash. Pint. for its convenient location but soon realized that it’s not the location that makes the place but it’s the people! The Ruff Rangers love every pup that visits like their own and take the time to learn their personality and play style. It shows that their number one priority is a fun and safe environment for dogs and people! I never worry about Zeus while he is at daycare four days a week. He enjoys pool time, playtime, snack time, nap time, and even some training – don’t believe what they say, you CAN teach an old dog new tricks! Play. Wash. Pint. is our Chattanooga community and friends, it’s not only enriched Zeus life but it’s enriched mine as well! I may have adopted Zeus but Play. Wash. Pint. rescued him!

Violet has been going to school at PWP for just over a year. She knows when she wakes up that day that it is a school day and she is not patient while I pack her veggie snack! She is then wildly spoiled all day by the Rangers. I love pulling up the cameras to see her happily splashing in the pools, being cuddled, being danced with, and romping with her friends. And she has so many friends! I love to see her play so well with others. She is light years more social and outgoing. When we get home at the end of the day, she is very pink, happy, and utterly exhausted. We adore PWP!

I write on behalf of my first born, Mumford, who has become part of the daycare family at PWP. Ever since he was able, Mumford has developed into such a fun-loving, playful and social pup. I attribute this to the personable environment created at PWP that caters to the individual needs and personalities of our beloved fur-iends. The “Ruff Rangers” at the park come to know your dog in a way that is beyond just corralling them. I have always been confident and at-ease at the care, education and reports that my dog has received in this warm environment. Mumford truly looks forward to seeing all his buddies daycare every week, and comes home healthily tired out. Thank you to the genuine people that run this program!

Boone is not a dog who gets excited by the word "treat." For him, the phrase that gets him most excited is most definitely "THE DOG PARK". He absolutely loves going to his favorite place in Chattanooga, Play Wash Pint, and especially for daycare. When we arrive for drop-off, he rushes toward his favorite Ruff Rangers and gives a big hound dog bay with excitement. I really feel that the amazing staff at Play Wash make daycare a wonderful experience for all different types of dogs. Boone is not one to rush around with the puppies or make zoomies for an hour but the time he spends at daycare is love, comfort, and fun. Particularly, since we said goodbye to his brother Harvey this summer, having his familiar pack to spend the day with once a week provides stability and a sense of belonging for Boone, which has made his transition to being an 'only child' a lot easier. From a 'dog parent' perspective, I also love knowing that Boone is getting all the love and attention at Play Wash Daycare while I am working from home. Instead of constantly having Boone attempt to slide his head under my hand while I am typing away on my graduate thesis, I know he is happily at Play Wash getting all the pets he wants and deserves from his favorite Ruff Rangers!
