Smooch my Pooch

Smooch my Pooch is a dog boarding, daycare, and grooming business that keeps all three services under one roof. Dogs can stay overnight in private suites, spend the day in indoor play areas and outdoor space, and get a full groom before heading home. Published overnight rates run $38 to $53 per night.

Services and amenities

• Overnight boarding, including private suites
• Doggie daycare with indoor play and outdoor space
• Full-service grooming using soap- and detergent-free shampoos
• Webcam access, so owners can look in on their dog remotely
• Medication administration for dogs that need it

Daycare suits owners who want a secure spot for their dog during work hours, a house full of contractors, or a cleaning appointment. Grooming can be booked on its own or added to a stay.

What sets it apart

Small extras do a lot of the work here. Yappy hour sends dogs to bed with a treat, daily brushing is available as an add-on, and CBD hemp oil drops are offered for dogs that settle poorly away from home. Owners who cannot make the trip themselves can arrange after-hours chauffeur drop-off and pick-up within five miles. The business also runs a loyalty rewards points program, so regular visits build toward something.

Practical details

Hours are 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to noon on Saturday, and 5:30 PM to 6:00 PM on Sunday. Booking is handled online. Proof of vaccination is required before a dog stays.
