More Than a Place to Wait. A Real Day for Your Dog.
Dogs are social animals. They’re built to move, explore, and connect — not to sit home alone waiting for you to get back. At Mellow Fellow, daycare isn’t babysitting. It’s a structured, supervised, genuinely fun day designed around how dogs actually thrive.
Real Socialization
Matched playgroups based on size, age, and energy level. Not just dogs in a room together.
Structured Enrichment
Play, rest, exploration, and downtime — a routine that keeps dogs happy without over-tiring them.
Supervised All Day
Trained staff monitor every play session. Nothing goes unnoticed.

From Drop-Off to Pick-Up, Every Moment Is Intentional.
Your dog's day at Mellow Fellow is structured, supervised, and genuinely fun. Every moment from morning arrival to afternoon wind-down is thoughtfully designed to keep them happy, safe, and thriving.
01
Arrival & Settling In
Each dog is greeted individually and given time to adjust at their own pace. No rushing into the action — Mellow Fellows settle in before they play.
02
Group Play Begins
Dogs join their matched playgroup — sorted by size, temperament, and energy level. Our staff supervise closely, keeping interactions positive and safe.
03
Rest & Downtime
After a play session, dogs get a structured rest break. Cozy spaces, soft music, calm supervision. This prevents over-stimulation and keeps the day balanced.
04
Feeding Time*
Dogs with scheduled meals are fed in a calm, separate space following owner instructions. Plenty of time to eat and digest before afternoon play.
*If applicable
05
Enrichment & Light Play
After a play session, dogs get a structured rest break. Cozy spaces, soft music, calm supervision. This prevents over-stimulation and keeps the day balanced.
06
Wind Down & Pick-Up
As pick-up approaches, the environment stays calm and predictable. A final potty break, a chance to stretch, and your dog transitions back to you: content, relaxed, and pleasantly tired.

Most Dogs Thrive Here. Here’s How to Know If Yours Will.
Daycare is a great fit for most dogs, but not every dog. Here's an honest look at who thrives at Mellow Fellow and who might need a different approach.
Not sure? The Meet & Greet is exactly what it’s for. We evaluate every dog individually — bring them in and we’ll tell you honestly if daycare is a great fit.
A Great Fit For Your Dog
- Dogs who enjoy being around other dogs
- High-energy breeds who need more exercise than home allows
- Puppies (6 months+) building social skills
- Dogs whose owners work long hours and want them stimulated, not bored
- Dogs who get anxious or destructive when left alone
May Need More Discussion
- Dogs with a history of aggression toward other dogs — we’ll evaluate on a case-by-case basis
- Dogs who are not yet up to date on required vaccinations
- Intact dogs over 8 months — our spay/neuter policy applies to group play
- Dogs showing signs of illness — we require healthy dogs for the safety of the group
Your Dog’s First Day Starts With a Hello.
Before joining daycare, every dog completes a one-time Meet & Greet. It’s a short, supervised introduction — just $15 — where our team gets to know your pup and makes sure daycare is the right fit.
Step 1: Book Your Meet & Greet
Call us at 913.247.1000, use our app, or book online through the Gingr portal. Takes 2 minutes.
Step 2: Bring Your Pup In
The session takes 15–30 minutes. Our team evaluates temperament, energy level, and social style. You’re welcome to ask any questions.
Step 3: You’re In
If it’s a match — and it usually is — your dog is enrolled. Book their first full day whenever you’re ready.
Vaccinations Required
All dogs must be current on Rabies, Bordetella (Kennel Cough), and DHPP before attending. Records can be uploaded through the Gingr app or emailed to us. We can also contact your vet directly.
Temperament & Behavior
Dogs must be friendly and able to interact safely with people and other dogs. Mild shyness is welcome. Aggressive behavior cannot be accommodated in group play.
Spay & Neuter Policy
Dogs over 8 months must be spayed or neutered to participate in group daycare. Younger puppies may attend if they meet all other requirements. Exceptions considered with vet documentation.
A Few Simple Things to Know Before Day One.
Minimum age for daycare: 6 months. Puppies 12 weeks or older may attend prior to the spay/neuter age if all other requirements are met.
