Kristi w/ Thelma the scruffy terrier mix

Thelma has grown so much in her time at Pickle’s. Basic manners, leash etiquette and most importantly, socialization with other dogs and people. She looks forward to going and I look forward to how tired she is when she gets home! We love the Pickle’s Crew!

Heading into our third year with Pickles Playland I want to let you know how awesome this place is.  The trainers are experienced, knowledgeable and confident.  The team is caring and thoughtful and the service is exceptional.  Daycare at Pickles Playland is fun and includes a variety of activities.  I've used the grooming services, which are awesome and on site! The knowledge and consistency in training re-trained me and guided our new bowser friend through her fears.  Our new puppy ended up being a Doberman-Chow Chow- Herding Shephard/Kelpie mix. She had fear-based aggression and was very fearful of meeting new people.

Pickles is literally my dogs’ second home. Our two pugs – one elderly girl and one puppy boy – both yip with delight as soon as we get near the entrance. Nikki, Jayson, Alondra, Martin and the entire Pickles family have been so incredibly good to us, I couldn’t imagine sending my dogs anywhere else. I’m so thankful for this little doggie h(e)aven!

  • We love & care for nearly all species of pets!

    Have a dog that needs to snuggle with someone at night? Cats that need extra care and attention throughout the night and morning? A turtle that needs to be fed? We’re here to care for your pet in a way that is comfort for them.

    We do not offer 12 hour visits during the day or 24 hour care at this time.

  • We only send the team member(s) that you've met and approved. We never send someone that you haven't had the opportunity to meet and/or authorize to be in your home.

  • Most nights we stay 12 or more hours. We don't leave until your pets are all fully and properly cared for.

  • No. All pets & homes receive the same great care and price as everyone else. Going out of town with a friend or family member? You can have their pet stay at your home and split the cost!

  • Sometimes our arrival times vary depending on construction in the area and other appointments your team member has each that day. This can cause our arrival time to vary, but we will always stay for your allotted time frame.

HOW TO SCHEDULE IN HOME CARE

Schedule a meet and greet. 1-2 Pickle members will visit your house so you can take us through your pet’s routine & show us where all the supplies are.

Make a reservation in the client portal for your desired dates. Schedule as far in advance as possible to help ensure the Pickles team is available to care for your pet.
