How is The Playful Pup Better?
Space
The Playful Pup’s 6,000 sq foot, secure indoor/outdoor facility offers real room to run, so your dog isn't cooped up all day.
Value
Compare 12 hours of daycare activity to a 30-minute walk on a leash. Compare our constant Day Care Associate attention, activity and love to the isolation and inactivity of kennels or brief visits from a pet-sitter.
Vision
The Playful Pup was Charles County’s first doggy daycare. We have space to play indoors and out. There's nothing or no one else like us.
Convenience
The Playful Pup is located directly off Highway 301 on Theodore Green Blvd., in the White Plains Commerce Center, South of Waldorf and North of La Plata. Best of all, there's always room to pull up out front on busy mornings - we'll greet you right at the curb!
Transparency
Unlike some facilities that whisk your dog to a back room somewhere, The Playful Pup’s play-yards are in clear view through observation windows where you can see the staff and the pack engaged in play.
Safety
The Playful Pup meticulously screens dogs to make sure they'll fit in with our Pack, personally evaluating every one for temperament, health, and medical requirements. The Playful Pup isn't for just any dog.
After receiving your Day Care Enrollment Forms you will be required to fill them out completely and return them to us via fax, e-mail or in person, we will also require proof of all of our required vaccinations which can usually be faxed to us directly from your veterinarian.
We do require Rabies, Distemper/Parvovirus and a 6 month intranasal Bordetella, the vaccination schedule will not be waived for anyone regardless of circumstance and is a very strict requirement of The Playful Pup.
Once verification is received from your veterinarian that our vaccination requirements are met, we invite you to schedule a day to bring your dog for evaluation. The Evaluation Day gives us a chance to get to know your dog and helps your dog feel more comfortable with us, there is no charge for this day.
Commitment
We're mature, loving professionals, invested in the business with the highest possible standards. We have 24/7 staff at The Playful Pup. Most of our employees know our clients' dogs like their own. This isn't just a job to us.
So...give your dog a RUN for the money!
Don't banish your dog to a lonely kennel. Forget home-alone anxiety from brief pet-sitter visits. Ditch indoor-only boarding confines. Instead, let your dog be our guest at The Playful Pup when you travel!
They'll romp with the Pack all day. They'll eat and bed down among their pals in their own large, comfortable rooms with a cushy bed and their own toys. Our staff are there at night to make sure they're safe and sound asleep, after a midnight snack and some late-night play-or-cuddle time. The Pack gets bathroom breaks outside, too, just like they're trained to do at home.
The Playful Pup Bed-and-Breakfast Difference:
Less stress for your dog (and for you!) while you're away
No isolation and loneliness
Unlimited human and canine love and attention--plus at least 12 hours of activity, every day
No extra feeding/medicine/administration costs, unless we have to provide food ($5.00/Daily). We recommend that all boarders - or lunch-list dogs - bring their own vittles. Constant affection is always free!
Down time in a private den allows for important rest breaks and drama-free mealtimes, and ensures a safer pack dynamic
Having staff on schedule 24/7 limits down time and maintains presence, even when we're closed
Hours and days:
Monday to Friday - 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.
Saturday - 9:00 am to 5:00pm
Sunday - 12:00 pm to 5:00pm
Costs: Effective April 1st, 2011 our boarding rate is $38.00 per calendar day; both days of check-in and check-out are chargeable days regardless of time of check-in or check-out.
The Playful Pup is pleased to offer discounts for multi-dog families, extended stays over 30 days and we also offer a discount to all local, state and federal government employees and our military.
We have no surcharge for holiday boarding at The Playful Pup, and there is no major holiday minimum requirement.
Note:
We are closed for office business as well as check-ins, check-outs, or day care on Christmas day, Thanksgiving day, and New Years Day. We will have staff on-site celebrating at The Playful Pup with the pack! We also may have holiday hours on major holidays (such as Memorial Day, July 4th, and Labor Day; inquire for details.)
Let your dog be our guest. We take care of the rest!

How I Got Started
We are a different kind of company due to the fact that we are Owned by the original dreamer of this idea. Our Owner was a ''pet-sitter'' when there were no pet sitters, she worked her way through college working 2 full time jobs and taking care of peoples pets when they went away, she also saw the commercial boarding side of the coin while working in veterinarian offices, she hated seeing the stress of commercial boarding and started taking on more and more clients since her heart went out to them, it wasn't long before Pampered Pets was born. Pampered Pets has had locations in six states throughout the U.S. and has chosen to make Charles County Maryland their home.
Favorite Part Of The Business
