Question on Google
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

Question on Google
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

Question on Google
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

Question on Google
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.

Question on Google

Question on Google
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

Question on Google
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

Question on Google
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

Question on Google
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

Question on Google
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

Community answer · Bandits Stay and Play · 2025-09-21

Question on Google
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

Question on Google
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

Question on Google
How can I tell if my dog enjoys enrichment daycare?

Really impressed. Positive only dog trainers and boarding. They are very experienced and very transparent. Also far more flexible and customizable than some places I've explored. I feel safe taking my dog here. She did a month-long boot camp and she was happy and great the whole time even though we thought she would get anxious or lonely. We visited her several times during training and she was happy and improving in her reactivity. Her behavior was dramatically improved after the training. And we've had several sessions since that have been super helpful. We even had to take her in and out a few times from the training because we had her home for a holiday and then she got hurt and had to go to the vet. And every time we took her back she was totally happy to go back. Great place, great people!

I boarded my dog here for six days, and now he is extremely sick nonstop coughing, vomiting, and diagnosed with kennel cough. He has never been sick in his life until this stay. What’s worse is that other owners are reporting the exact same issue. If this facility truly followed proper cleaning, vaccination checks, and safety protocols, how could this happen to so many dogs at once? Clearly, something is being neglected. Also, my dog luckily has a vaccine otherwise he would be worse. I'm sure he got the kennel cough there because he doesn't have contact with other dogs and few days before to be in that place my dog stayed With other two dogs. So, that dogs are healthier and only my dog is sick. This has been heartbreaking and expensive we’ve had to take our dog to the vet, get him on medication, and watch him suffer through something that should have been 100% preventable with responsible care. I trusted this place, and now I regret it. Teh solution of them is let's talk about it but not really a take action. My husband talked to them and they were rude and they even didn't ask for the health of my dog who is a senior dog with kidney disease. Some people were complaining about the same if you see recent opinion, and those are from a week ago. We just received a warning a day before he checked out and 4 days later he got super sick ( normal framework to start to have symptoms). This is just the evidence that they never took a real action to prevent the kennel cought. For sure, they do not care about your dog. My advice is think twice before leaving your dog here.

Waiting for management to return our call. I'll update my review accordingly based on the conversation. Update: management did call us back. We gave them another try. Ultimately, each interaction leaves the impression that our dog is a nuisance and I don't feel comfortable with my dog being there. The customer service/friendliness continues to decline with each interaction (the manager we spoke with was nice and there's one female trainer/staff, I think her name is Jade, who makes us feel welcome) The prices have also increased incredibly. We've found a more reasonably priced option where I also feel my dog is more welcome and cared for.

I boarded my dog at Bandit’s Stay and Play for several days, and shortly after bringing them home, they developed a persistent cough and were later diagnosed with kennel cough by a licensed veterinarian. My dog had no history of illness prior to this stay. When I reached out to the facility, I was told that “dogs get sick just like kids get sick.” That response came across as dismissive and lacked any sense of responsibility or concern. This suggests the issue wasn’t isolated, and the exposure risk was likely known. No offer was made to assist with vet costs or even follow up on my dog’s condition. I expected more accountability and professionalism from a place trusted with pet care. Based on my experience, I would not feel comfortable boarding here again. After looking through other reviews, it’s clear I’m not the only one with this concern—several pet owners have reported similar experiences, which to me appears to be an ongoing issue rather than a one-time problem.
