Beautiful day here in late February with lots of beautiful people, walking their dogs and bringing their children out. Other people are working out and exercising getting some fresh sunlight and air. I decided to stop and paint the skyline. I also decided to set up the open air studio. It’s a beautiful day for a walk in the park and to come and look at some art.

Me and my dog are absolutely in LOVE with Work and Woof! My dog loves going to school every chance she gets! This place is amazing and I have nothing but great things to say about it! My dog started here at puppy camp when she was 4/5 months old and graduated to what I call big girl school(lol) and my dog is 2 now. Jill and her staff here are amazing and so so sweet and loving and caring of all the dogs! The communication is excellent! I love all the options to add on enrichment, a bath, nail trip, photos, treats, and so many other things! The monthly themed photos and art are my favorite and are so so cute! I love the enrichment option and nail trims are an excellent plus to add on as well. This month they are doing a Valentines exchange for the dogs! I mean come on that’s just the best thing ever and so fun to do! I’ve worked from here a number of times while my dog attended daycare and it was great- no issues with the WiFi there’s snacks and coffee if needed and you have your own room to work from. There is even an option now to rent out the fenced yard on your own time which was a great option I used to do a meet and greet with a family for a dog I was fostering! She had plenty of space and time to warm up and go at her own pace to meet new people! The daycare is amazing I could go on and on about how excellent this place is! If you were ever looking for a daycare that will take care of your dogs and love them as much as you do then DEFINITELY sign up here! You and your dog will love it as much as we do!
