Run, Play & Come Home Happy
Do you work long days and come home to an energetic pup? They may have spent the day snoozing — or finding more creative ways to entertain themselves. Let our daycare experts provide the exercise, mental stimulation, care, and socialization your dog deserves while you’re at work.
By the end of the day, they’ll be happily tuckered out and ready to relax with you. After all, a tired dog is a happy dog.
A Daycare Program Unlike Any Other in Whatcom County
Hyline Hotel for Dogs has the most unique daycare program in the county.
While many facilities group 25+ dogs together with limited outdoor space, we keep our playgroups small, structured, and safe:
- Playgroups are always under 10 dogs.
- Most groups average 3–6 dogs.
- We offer 2 spacious indoor play areas, and more than 25 outdoor exercise yards
- All guests are 100% supervised by professional dog handlers
We are able to include nearly any dog in our program — even those turned down by other facilities. Our property and program flexibility allow us to find the right fit for each individual dog.
Come see why our daycare guests are #Hylinehappy.
The Benefits of Dog Daycare
- Exercise: Dogs crave movement. Our expansive outdoor yards give them room to run, explore, and burn energy safely.
- Socialization: Positive interactions with other dogs and professional handlers build confidence and improve communication skills.
- Mental Stimulation: Structured group activities, games, and training reinforcement keep boredom at bay.
- Behavior Support: A well-exercised, socially fulfilled dog is far less likely to chew, dig, bark excessively, or act out due to pent-up energy.

Day Stay Daycare
$41 Single Day Rate (Discounted Package Rates Below)
Our Day Stay experience is designed for dogs who:
- Prefer smaller groups.
- Get overstimulated easily.
- Have limited social history.
- Prefer more staff interaction.
We thoughtfully assess each dog to determine the best playmates and carefully manage group dynamics to create a positive, comfortable social environment. Some dogs may transition from our Day Stay program into our Play and Learn program over time, but this process is always guided by your dog’s confidence and comfort level. We never rush or pressure a dog into larger groups before they’re ready. Because our Day Stay dogs receive extra care and attention, space in this program is limited.
Daycare Package Pricing
- 5-Day Package: $195 ($39/day)
- 10-Day Package: $370 ($37/day)
* Packages must be prepaid and are non-refundable.
First Day Free for New Guests
We’re so confident you’ll love Hyline, your dog’s first day of daycare (or boarding) is free.
During your first visit, our staff will:
- Administer a temperament evaluation.
- Ask questions about your dog’s history and preferences.
- Determine the best-fit program.
Our temperament evaluation is not a pass/fail test — it helps us understand where your dog will thrive.
If your dog is best suited for our Day Stay program and if it is currently full, you may join the waitlist. Dogs on the waitlist may still board with Hyline, but daycare access will begin once space becomes available.
