Welcome to Dogtopia!
We are excited to meet you and your pup for your Meet & Greet! At Dogtopia, we are focused on health and safety as well as ensuring all dogs are comfortable in our open-play environment. For daycare and boarding, all dogs are separated into playrooms by size and temperament where they can enjoy hours of safe socialization, exercise, education and FUN. They’re supervised by our highly trained Canine Coaches and you can check in on them throughout the day via our live webcams!

What is a Meet & Greet and why do I need one?
A Meet & Greet allows us some one-on-one time with you and your pup to get to know your pup and your needs for daycare and/or boarding. While we love all breeds and personalities, some take extra TLC to introduce them to the high-energy and FUN daycare environment. The safety and health of all our pups is our highest priority, and the Meet and Greet gives us one-on-one time with your pup to get to know them, and develop a plan to ensure their daycare experience enriches their health and happiness. The evaluation includes a health history overview, a nose-to-tail assessment, an assessment of their comfort level with other dogs and feedback to you. The process is very easy and ensures all dogs are comfortable at Dogtopia – we look forward to getting to know you and your furry family member!
Dogtopia requirements:
- Up-to-date on Rabies, DHPP and Bordetella vaccinations. Don’t have your records? We can call your vet for you!
- Puppies must complete all puppy vaccination rounds as recommended by your veterinarian.
- Dogs 7 months and older must be spayed/neutered.
* Newly adopted adult dogs should be comfortable in their new home surroundings prior to their Meet and Greet.
*New boarding pups must be comfortable playing in daycare prior to their first sleepover to ensure their comfort during the stay and have already made some friends to play with.
MEET & GREET
GETTING READY FOR THE MEET & GREET:
Once your Meet & Greet appointment is set and confirmed by our team, you will receive an email to set up your online dashboard and begin the registration process so we get to know a little more about your dog, upload vaccinations (if you have them – if not, we will get them for you!) and digitally sign the Pet Parent Agreement. NOTE: We recommend downloading the Dogtopia app and complete the process on your mobile device. Then you’re ready!
WHAT TO EXPECT:
On Meet & Greet day, you will bring your dog(s) to the facility on a leash or slip lead and we will discuss the 15-20 minute evaluation process with you, show you around the beautiful daycare facility, answer any questions you have and then you can watch your pup’s first interactions on the playroom cameras in our lobby! The Meet and Greet day is free and you will leave your pup for the day to meet some new friends! Preferred pickup time is between 3-4pm.
EVALUATION INCLUDES:
- Wellness check
- Response to staff touch/interaction
- Comfort level in a crate – Crates are used for rest, nap time, boarding, feedings and administering medication when applicable
- Reaction in “open-play” setting with other dogs of varying size, breed, and temperament
- Overall observations
The process is very easy and there is nothing to be nervous about at Dogtopia – we just want to get to know your pup better!
