FirstBarkWe used Bandit Stay and Play for boarding over Thanksgiving 2023 for our Golden Retriever. The owner was very attentive and made sure any questions I had before the booking were answered. We paid extra for daily photos and a report card! The report card would always make my day as it cracked me up. The photos helped ease my fur-mama heart. They will take great care of your doggy!

Community answer · Bandits Stay and Play · 2025-09-21
Do I need to add enrichment activities separately, or are they included in daycare?
Enrichment is built into our daycare structure, but we also offer additional enrichment add-ons for pet parents who want to provide extra stimulation.
Community answer · Bandits Stay and Play · 2025-09-21
How does your daycare help prevent bad habits like jumping or rough play?
Because we focus on structured, supervised play, we redirect behaviors before they become a problem. Our team promotes polite play, impulse control, and appropriate social interactions, reinforcing good manners throughout the day.
Community answer · Bandits Stay and Play · 2025-09-21
Can my dog do multiple enrichment activities in one day?
Yes! Depending on their energy level and preferences, dogs can participate in different activities throughout the day, from playgroups to solo sniffari walks, treadmill time, or puzzle games.
Community answer · Bandits Stay and Play · 2025-09-21
What makes your daycare different from traditional dog daycares?
Our daycare is enrichment-based, meaning we focus on quality over quantity. Instead of endless, high-energy play, we provide structured activities that engage your dog's mind and body. This reduces stress and promotes good behavior.
Community answer · Bandits Stay and Play · 2025-09-21
Can I tour your facility before booking?
Yes! We’d love to show you around. Just contact us to schedule a tour. We do accept walk-ins also. We do not do tours during quiet time, typically 1230-130pm.
Community answer · Bandits Stay and Play · 2025-09-21
What types of enrichment activities do you offer during daycare?
We rotate a variety of enrichment activities, including puzzle feeders, scent work, agility-style obstacles, treadmill work, fetch, tug games, and social group play and more. We do seasonal activities as well. Dog's always have the option to opt out of any activity we're doing.
Community answer · Bandits Stay and Play · 2025-09-21
How do you determine what enrichment activities are best for my dog?
We rotate a variety of enrichment activities, including puzzle feeders, scent work, agility-style obstacles, treadmill work, fetch, tug games, and social group play tailored to each dog's personality and needs.
Community answer · Bandits Stay and Play · 2025-09-21
Will my dog get to play all day?
Not exactly! We prioritize structured play and rest periods. Dogs who play nonstop can become overstimulated, leading to behavioral issues. Our structured schedule balances activity and downtime to keep your dog happy and stress-free.
Community answer · Bandits Stay and Play · 2025-09-21
Do you have breed or age restrictions for enrichment daycare?
No, all breeds and ages are welcome! Our enrichment structure ensures that even young puppies, senior dogs, and working breeds receive activities suited to their needs. Though all dogs need to be vaccinated, puppies should have at least their first 2 rounds of vaccinations
Community answer · Bandits Stay and Play · 2025-09-21
My dog isn’t very social with other dogs. Can they still benefit from daycare?
Absolutely! Not all dogs enjoy large playgroups, and that’s okay. We offer individualized enrichment like solo sniffari walks, interactive toys, treadmill training, and one-on-one play with staff to ensure every dog has a great experience.
Community answer · Bandits Stay and Play · 2025-09-21
What if my dog gets bored easily?
Our enrichment-based structure is designed for dogs who need mental stimulation. By introducing new challenges, problem-solving games, and physical activities, we keep your dog engaged and fulfilled.
Community answer · Bandits Stay and Play · 2025-09-21
Do you offer transportation for daycare and boarding?
Yes! We offer pick-up and drop-off services within Utah County.
Community answer · Bandits Stay and Play · 2025-09-21
How much does pick-up and drop-off cost?
Pricing varies based on distance and the number of dogs. Contact us for details!
Community answer · Bandits Stay and Play · 2025-09-21
How does enrichment help with my dog's behavior at home?
Mental and physical stimulation reduces boredom, frustration, and excess energy—key contributors to problem behaviors like chewing, barking, and jumping. Many owners see a calmer, more relaxed dog after a day at our daycare.
Community answer · Bandits Stay and Play · 2025-09-21
How can I tell if my dog enjoys enrichment daycare?
Many dogs show positive signs like increased confidence, better behavior at home, and excitement when they arrive. You can also add daily report cards so you can see what your dog enjoyed that day!

I was always a little worried about leaving my dog Bruno at boarding facilities. He's an anxious dog, and new environments can really stress him out. We've been working with Enoch (the owner) for a while and Bruno's confidence only grew with time and training. We are grateful we can go on vacation, or leave for unexpected trips, or just have a place for him on long work days. When I pick him up he seems happy, more confident each time, more playful at home. Everyone is so friendly and nice. We're so grateful to the team at Bandit's for giving him such a positive experience. I can't recommend them enough!

I'm a first time dog owner and was very anxious about leaving my puppy for a month of training. Enoch and his team are AMAZING! They are so gentle and the dogs love them! Enoch might be my puppies favorite person. When I first went to meet the staff I was able to see the whole facility. Every time I've been there it's been clean and organized (even when going through renovations). They are quick to clean up any accidents. During my puppy's stay, I was able to go visit her and they sent photos and videos of her playing and training with text messages about her progress. I was given access to online training and videos. She was a different puppy when I picked her up, calmer, more obedient, and easier to train. After her initial stay Enoch and Jess came to my home to continue training both my puppy and I. We continue to go to weekly group training and events. My puppy LOVES all the staff, practically loses her mind with excitement when she sees them. I fully recommend Bandits Stay and Play.
Bandits is wonderful. They are very kind and gentle with my pups. 5 stars for her work with our little maltese havanese mix.

We love this cute place! Our dog Willow (mini Aussiedoodle) is always so excited to go and has fallen in love with many of the workers there. We get the 20-day paw passes for daycare and we end up taking her there about 3 days out of the week, and she comes home absolutely pooped every time and sleeps the rest of the night so we know she gets good play time haha. We would definitely recommend Bandits!
