Drop-in day for Northbridge pets.
A full day of company, play and naps for the busy days in your week. Drop off on your way in, collect on your way home.
For the busy days

For Northbridge families.
Easy for the odd busy day when you’re heading into work.
A drop-in day is for the busy days: a long meeting, a day in the office or plans that don’t include your pet. Drop off in the morning and collect them in the evening.
Dogs spend the day in small groups matched by size and energy, with garden time, games and a proper nap after lunch. Cats spend the day in the cat room, away from the dogs, with shelves, sunny windows, a few games and plenty of rest.
At pickup we tell you how they ate, played and rested. If you find yourself booking the same days most weeks, we can talk about regular days instead.
How it goes.
Morning
Drop-off
We read their note with you, say hello and help them settle in.
Late morning
Play and explore
Small groups and garden time for dogs. Climbing, games and window watching for cats.
Midday
Lunch and naps
Food if you’ve packed it, then a proper rest in a quiet room.
Afternoon
Slower time
Gentle play, puzzle toys and cuddles, then a note for you at pickup.
For dogs, and for cats.
The same option, planned around who’s coming.
Dogs
- Small groups matched by size and energy
- A nap room so busy dogs actually rest
- Garden time when the weather’s kind

Cats
- The cat room, away from the dogs
- Shelves, beds and hiding spots
- Short games and long naps, on their terms

Food, rest and the end of the day.
If your pet eats at daycare, pack their food in a labeled container with a note about amounts and timings. We’ll give it at the right time and tell you at pickup how they ate.
Rest is part of every drop-in day. Busy dogs sometimes need help to settle, so the nap room stays quiet and calm. Cats mostly sort out their own naps, usually in the sunniest spot they can find. Most pets go home happily tired.
From Northbridge to Fern Court.
Walk over with your dog, or bring your cat in their carrier, drop off from 8:30 am and head to work. Collect on your way home before 6:30 pm.
Walk-over dogs
A walk over is a great way to arrive. Keep it calm in the last few minutes so the hello is easy.
Apartment cats
Apartment cats can be new to busy rooms. A hello visit helps them get used to us gently.
Shared pickups
If a neighbor or dog walker collects, tell us their name and number at drop-off.
What to bring.
- Lead and harness, or their carrier
- Food in a labeled container, if they eat here
- A short note about their morning
- Who’s collecting, if it isn’t you
