Fun for your pup and peace of mind for you!
Leaving your dog home alone all day can lead to anxiety, boredom and destructive behaviour. At DV Playcare, your dog gets a structured, safe and enriching day of play, socialization and mental stimulation while you’re at work or running errands.
Unlike traditional dog daycare centres, we focus on structure, supervision and emotional wellbeing. Dogs alternate supervised play, rest periods and mental stimulation throughout the day, so they come home calm, fulfilled and happy.
Our puppy daycare helps young dogs build confidence, learn social skills and develop good habits early. Puppies are introduced gradually to structured play under supervision, which helps prevent fear, anxiety and aggression later on. Puppies can join as soon as they are vaccinated.
For puppies, small dogs & all breedsDV Playcare combines indoor and outdoor parks, enrichment-based programs, structured routines and professional supervision, all inside Doggieville MTL.
Dogs at DV Playcare move freely in two parks, each split into high-fenced sections, so every group stays safe and comfortable. Trained daycare supervisors are with them the whole time.

Enrichment daycare is DV Playcare’s program for dogs who need more than free play. Each day is structured to keep your dog mentally stimulated, emotionally balanced and physically fulfilled, so they come home calm instead of overstimulated.

Each daycare day mixes supervised play, rest and enrichment, so dogs stay balanced instead of overstimulated.
In winter, most play moves to the heated indoor park, with indoor bathrooms on artificial grass. Snow days outside happen when the weather allows.
Dogs play indoors through the winter and outdoors in summer, and both parks are built and cleaned with hygiene in mind.
These are the questions we suggest every dog parent asks before choosing a daycare in Montreal, with our answers.
We are so fortunate to have doggieville to look after our cherished Vixen . She loves being there and the great care she gets . The doggieville team give us great peace of mind when we leave her for daycare or boarding.
Our dog Tigger has been going to Doggieville for regular daycare (once or twice a week) and boarding for multiple years now. She still gets very excited whenever we arrive, so she must be reviewing the place positively.
It’s great to have your dog socialize with other dogs at times, and all I know is that when I bring my dog Koda to Doggieville, he is sooo happy and excited; and once it is pick up time and we are home he is exhausted, which tells me he had a great day full of activities. Customer service/reception are great also, so helpful!!!!
