Clean dogs. Tired dogs. Happy dogs.

Grooming, daycare and overnight boarding on a half-acre yard in Riverside. Your dog gets a bath, a best friend, and a nap. You get a report card at pick-up.

  • Half-acre fenced yard
  • Groups sorted by size and play style
  • A report card every pick-up

Open daily

7am–7pm, every day

A day at Romp, start to finish.

Same routine every day, because dogs like knowing what comes next. So do the people who drop them off.

  1. 7:00

    Drop-off

    A quick sniff at the gate, then straight to the group that fits their size and energy.

  2. 9:30

    Yard time

    Fetch, chase and wrestling on turf and gravel, always with a handler in the yard.

  3. 12:30

    Lunch and a nap

    Their own food, then two hours of lights-down rest in the quiet room.

  4. 3:00

    Afternoon play

    Smaller groups, puzzle toys, and a rinse for anyone who found the mud.

  5. Pick-up

    The report card

    Who they played with, how they ate, and anything worth knowing. Written, not guessed.

Juniper used to pace the house all afternoon. Now she comes home, drinks half the water bowl, and sleeps until dinner. The report card is the best thing I read all week.

New here? Four things before the first visit.

The same rules the best dog parks post at the gate. They keep the yard safe and the groups happy.

Yard rules

All dogs, all visits

  • Up-to-date vaccines

    Rabies, DHPP and bordetella, with records from your vet before the first visit.

  • A free meet-and-greet

    A half-day trial so we can learn their play style and they can learn the yard.

  • Spayed or neutered after seven months

    For group play only. Grooming and walks welcome every dog.

  • Flea and tick prevention

    Whatever your vet recommends, kept current year-round.

Questions owners ask

How do you decide which group my dog plays in?

By size first, then play style. The meet-and-greet tells us whether your dog likes a wrestle, a chase, or a quiet corner, and we sort from there. Groups never go above twelve dogs to one handler.

What if my dog doesn't get along with others?

Not every dog loves a crowd, and that's fine. Grooming, walks and training are one-on-one, and boarding guests who prefer their own company get solo yard time instead of group play.

Do I need to bring anything?

Their own food, portioned by meal, and any medication in its labelled bottle. Beds, bowls, toys and treats are ours, and get washed every day.

How long does a groom take?

Two to three hours for most dogs. We text when they're ready, so they never sit in a crate waiting for you.

What's your cancellation policy?

Cancel grooming with a day's notice and boarding with three, and there's no charge. Daycare needs no notice at all.

Come see the yard.

Drop by any afternoon for a look around. The dogs will want to say hello. Parking is free on Mill Street, and the gate is next to the big green door.
