"We bring our 5 month old rescue puppy for daycare to get her socialization. Greatest thing we could have done! Matt keeps us informed of her daily activities and sends pics of her playing with other dogs. She comes home tired and it's carried over away from daycare."

Michael Masella

"Had to find doggie daycare unexpectedly while visiting from NY. The owner went above and beyond to accommodate us. Facility is immaculate and they are very professional and caring. Bonus is that it's veteran owned and operated. Highly recommend!"

Callie DiRaffaele

"The ease of booking doggy daycare, dropping off, and picking up is a dream. Our dog is excited to pull into the parking lot and perfectly worn out when he's picked up. For someone with a hectic work schedule, I'm so happy we found Ridgeside!"

Gillian O'Connell

"The staff took excellent care of our furbaby! Nana enjoyed coming here for doggy daycare while we were up and about in Williamsburg. She was all waggedy-tails when we picked her up. Highly highly recommend!"

Rue L.

"Ridgeside K9 staff are wonderful, and our dog is excited to go and be with her canine buddies every time! They have gone above and beyond for us, and we can't imagine taking her anywhere else."

Mitzi LaPaugh

"So friendly and helpful. They respond so quick because they are busy spending time with the babies. My pup came home so happy and tired, passed out in the car after hours of socialization and play. I'd recommend them for daycare."

We are open seven days a week: Monday through Friday from 6:30 AM to 6 PM, and Saturday and Sunday from 8 AM to 6 PM.

What does a day of daycare look like?

Scheduled playtime and nap times are available every day in our comfortable indoor and outdoor play areas. Your dog gets to socialize, play, and rest, all under supervision.

Our staff is carefully selected for their genuine love of dogs. All employees undergo rigorous background checks and receive ongoing training so they always have the latest information about dog behavior.

How flexible is drop-off and pick-up?

Very. We make it easy to drop off during normal business hours and pick up when it's convenient for you, with early morning and later options so you don't have to make double trips.
