More Than Daycare — A Structured Experience That Builds Better Dogs
Trainer-led playgroups, safe socialization, and individualized care—designed for dogs of all personalities, including intact dogs.
Every dog deserves more than just playtime. Here in Plano, TX, we create calm, confident, and well-balanced dogs through structured interaction and expert supervision.
What Your Dog Actually Gets at Paws Up Daycare
Not chaos. Not overcrowding. Not “hope for the best” playgroups.
Your dog’s day is intentionally designed to build better behavior, safer interactions, and balanced energy.
Most daycare problems come from too much freedom, too fast. We fix that.
Behavior-Based Playgroups
Dogs are grouped by energy level, temperament, and communication style—not just size—creating safer, more appropriate interactions.
Trainer-Led Socialization
Our experienced staff actively guide play, helping dogs build confidence, improve communication, and avoid overstimulation.
Indoor & Outdoor Play Options
With climate-controlled indoor space, your dog stays active and comfortable no matter what Plano, Texas weather brings.
Pack-Based Energy Regulation & Rest
We don’t push dogs to exhaustion. Instead, we actively manage energy levels throughout the day so dogs learn how to regulate themselves around others.
As energy settles, dogs naturally take breaks together—creating a calmer, more balanced group dynamic.
Personalized Care for Every Dog
From shy to high-energy, young to senior, intact or altered—each dog’s experience is adjusted to meet their individual needs.
Structured dog daycare in Plano, TX designed for safe socialization, balanced play, and better behavior.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find answers to common questions about our daycare services.
How much does dog daycare cost?
Our standard rate is $35 per day. This includes supervised playtime, enrichment, socialization, and plenty of tail-wagging fun in a structured, safe environment.
Do you offer any daycare packages or memberships?
Yes! We offer both multiple-day credit packages and monthly memberships. These options are perfect for regular daycare clients and can help you save on per-day costs. Our staff will be happy to walk you through the best plan for your dog’s needs and schedule.
What does a typical day in daycare look like?
We start the day by helping each dog settle in. Pups arriving in the morning enjoy a little quiet time, a morning treat, or food you’ve sent from home. One by one, they’re brought outside to stretch their legs and enjoy playtime—weather permitting.
If it's too hot, cold, or wet, dogs will still get potty breaks outside before moving into our climate-controlled indoor play area for group fun and enrichment activities.
Daycare continues until the energy winds down—usually by mid-afternoon—when it’s time for a break. Each dog relaxes in their individual suite for quiet nap time with fresh water and soft lighting. Once rested, they’re ready for pick-up and head home happy and tired!
Is structured play really that important?
Absolutely. Structured play helps prevent over-arousal, stress, and miscommunication between dogs. Our trained team uses behavioral cues to group dogs appropriately and guide them through positive interactions. The result? A more fulfilling and safer daycare experience for your dog.
Do you accept intact dogs in daycare?
Yes, we welcome intact dogs of any age, including puppies and adolescents. The only exception is females in heat, who should not attend daycare until their cycle has ended.
How do I book a daycare day?
It’s easy! Just log in to our Owner Portal, choose your preferred date, and reserve your pup’s spot. If you’re new, you can also schedule a meet & greet or tour through the portal.
Will I get updates about my dog’s day?
What should my dog bring to daycare?
All your dog needs is a secure collar or harness for drop-off, and plenty of excitement to play! For safety, harnesses will be removed before dogs enter group play. We provide everything else—interactive toys, fresh water, enrichment activities, and cozy rest suites. If your pup has special dietary needs, medications, or comfort items, feel free to send them along and let our staff know at check-in.
What vaccines do you require?
We require Rabies, Distemper and Bordetella.
