Introducing Play & Stay:
Dog Boarding with Dog Daycare Fun

Play & Stay is our version of dog boarding at Best Friends. It is designed so that our Best Friends enjoy luxe, spacious suites, daily housekeeping, room service and customized activities including plenty of playtime and always crate-free boarding. Dogs can join the pack for group play or enjoy 1:1 attention.
