Drop-in day for Willow Ridge 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 Willow Ridge families.
Company for the days you’re out.
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 Willow Ridge to Fern Court.
Drop off from 8:30 am and collect before 6:30 pm. Tell us if a quieter drop-off time suits your pet better.
Older dogs
Tell us about stiff legs, stairs and rest. We plan gentle days with soft beds.
Quiet arrivals
If your pet prefers a calm hello, ask about a quieter drop-off time.
Familiar comforts
Their own blanket or bed can help an older pet settle. Label it with their name.
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
