Catch-n-Fetch

Catch-n-Fetch is a cage-free dog daycare in Columbus, Ohio, at 7200 East Broad St., and it also offers overnight sleepovers, grooming and training. Dogs spend the day across more than 10,000 square feet of supervised indoor and outdoor playgrounds instead of waiting at home alone. It suits owners who work long weekdays and want their dog tired out and social by pickup time.

What does a day at Catch-n-Fetch look like?

Staff supervise group play and watch each dog for signs of stress or exhaustion. The team describes coaxing even shy and timid dogs into the action, with games of catch, tug of war and plenty of belly rubs. Dogs are not crated during the day. Time-out kennels are available for any dog that needs a quiet break to regroup.

Some light training is part of the routine. Staff use positive reinforcement while practicing basic obedience commands with the dogs.
