PLAYGROUPS

Reservations available in 60 minute or 90 minute sessions on a weekly occurance. Pick up + drop off service included outside of the allotted play time. We take a boutique approach with no more than 10 dogs per group.
We provide a safe and supervised space for them to enjoy. We play in all weather conditions, provided it is safe to do so.

“Thursdays are the highlight of Bodie’s week ever since he started attending LAP! He loves his big dog playgroup and all of his new dog friends. He gets so excited every time he sees the Life’s a pooch van pull in the driveway. Katelyn and the team are the ultimate dog loving professionals, and we feel so lucky to have found someone who loves our pup as much as we do! We couldn’t recommend them more highly.”
- bodie’s Mom, norfolk

WALKS

Reoccurring leashed walks are 30, 45 or 60 minutes with one of our dedicated dog walkers. We strive to maintain a routine for your pup based on your scheduling needs.

“LAP is the place to choose for dog walks, training or puppy playdates! Katelyn is always kind, thoughtful, and punctual. I would highly recommend!”
- roscoe’s mom, dover

“LAP has been the best thing we’ve ever done for our pup! Every morning my dog sits by the door waiting for his playgroup friends to arrive and comes back that afternoon happy, sleepy and always toweled down and cleaned off from the fun! What’s been most important to us is that Katelyn and Kara love our pup like their own. They laugh with him on his playgroups, cuddle up with him on his overnights, and have come through for us in a moment’s notice more times than we can count. There’s no other service out there that is as kind, trustworthy, and caring for your dog as LAP!”
