Skiptown FAQs

Welcome to Skiptown! The first step to getting your dog eligible to use our daycare and boarding services is downloading the Skiptown app. After you download the app, you should create an account and complete your dog’s profile. The app will prompt you through the registration process. Be sure to have your vet records handy! After your pup’s profile is completed, you’ll be able to schedule a welcome day for your dog.

At Skiptown, we understand that your dog’s first day of daycare is a big step, and we want to make it as smooth and enjoyable as possible. That’s why we’ve designed our ‘Welcome Day’ program to ensure a seamless and positive experience for both you and your pup!

What to Expect on Welcome Day

1. Playgroup Confirmation: Upon arrival, our experienced Pet Care Associates will conduct a thorough assessment to confirm details about your pup and verify that we sort them into the best playgroup for your dog based on their size, temperament, and play style. This ensures that they are placed in an environment where they can thrive and have fun with their new friends.

2. Safe and Smooth Integration: We take great care to integrate your dog into their playgroups safely and smoothly. Our highly trained team will closely monitor their interactions and gradually introduce them to their playgroup, ensuring they feel comfortable and confident throughout the process.

3. Complimentary Daycare Enrichments: To give you a glimpse of what a day in the life of a Skiptown daycare dog looks like, we offer a couple of complimentary add-ons on Welcome Day. These include:

  • Personalized Time: One-on-one cuddle time with our Pet Care Associates.
  • First Day Photo: Snapshots of your dog enjoying their day and showing off which playgroup they fit into!

Your pup must be up-to-date on bordetella, distemper/parvo, and rabies vaccinations. Vaccination records must be typed, current, and provided on veterinary letterhead.


To ensure the safety of our guests, we require all vaccinations be given by a licensed veterinarian. We do not accept dogs who are given at-home vaccinations.
