Go Play Pets

Go Play Pets provides dog boarding in Daphne, AL, along with daycare and grooming, from a facility at 6937 Highway 90. Boarding comes in two forms: open-air, cage-free space or traditional crates, plus a small number of private suites when they are open. Families in Fairhope and Spanish Fort are a short drive away.

What they offer

• Overnight boarding, open-air or traditional crate
• Private boarding suites, limited availability
• Daycare with a climate-controlled indoor play area and outdoor dog runs
• Grooming and baths
• Free temperament assessment before a first stay

What makes it different

The layout leans toward play rather than rows of kennels. Dogs spend the day in indoor play space and outdoor runs, with big dogs and small dogs kept in separate areas. That separation matters most for smaller dogs who get overwhelmed in a mixed group. Boarding guests get the same run of the place, which suits social dogs who would rather be moving than waiting in a crate.

Every dog goes through a free temperament assessment before joining group play. It is a practical screen for an open-air setup, and it gives staff a read on how a dog handles a crowd. Staff are trained in dog first aid, and dog CPR certification is part of that training.

Practical details

The facility is open 6:30 AM to 7:00 PM Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Saturday, and 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM Sunday, so drop-offs and pickups fit around a normal workday. Boarding runs $35 to $55 per night depending on the setup. Baths and grooming can be added to an overnight stay. Booking is by phone at (251) 621-7389, which is also the fastest way to ask about suite availability or schedule the assessment.
