Why AOKO Daycare
Care based on your individual dog
Not every dog plays the same way. We use the first-visit process to learn how your dog communicates and whether AOKO is a safe, comfortable fit.
Thoughtful Introductions
New dogs meet staff and carefully selected regular dogs before entering routine care.
Compatible Play
Temperament, energy and play style matter more than a simple label or breed.
Present, responsive staff
We maintain a low dog-to-attendant ratio so staff can stay present, notice changes and support better play.
Acres of Outdoor Play
Dogs have plenty of room to run, sniff and explore across two acres of supervised outdoor play space.
Simple Pricing
Choose the kind of day that works for you
No packages to decode. We’ll confirm the right arrival and pickup window when we speak with you.

Is Daycare Right for Your Dog?
Not every dog enjoys group daycare, and a form cannot answer that question by itself. AOKO evaluates each dog individually. Dogs must be safely manageable by staff and comfortable in an appropriate playgroup. Final participation is determined by AOKO after the meet-and-greet and trial process.
Before You Book
Dogs must be at least 3 months old, current on age-appropriate Bordetella, DAPP and rabies vaccinations, and spayed or neutered if over 1 year old. Dogs must arrive free of fleas, ticks and signs of contagious illness. Routine parasite prevention is strongly recommended.
