If no tour is needed, then you can drop off as early as 7am and an employee will be here. All daycare dogs must be picked up by 6pm. We do offer first daycare days and tours on some Mon/Fri depending on time of year. Just send a text and we will help get you setup. Feel free to visit our facebook page and go to our videos tab.
