Jody Pawelski is not your every day ordinary dog specialist. While many claim to have a passion for their pets, it just isn't on the same level as Jody's passion for four legged friends. At social gatherings, if there is a pet in the area, Jody will be nearby. She naturally gravitates towards dogs....and dogs naturally gravitate towards her!

Jody is a former Marine, and served our country in active duty, spending most of her time in Okinawa, Japan. After being honorably discharged at the end of her term, Jody began gaining experience with dog related services, gaining experience as a dog handler, trainer, groomer, and vet. tech. These experiences helped her decide that her future was in the dog-service industry. The connection she made with the pups made her one of the most popular workers in her field, and dogs she has worked with in the past still recognize her at dog parks across the city today!

Gregg Pawelski comes from a marketing background, and specializes in keeping the operations running smoothly behind the scenes. He has 25 years experience in the industry, and when the opportunity arose to start a doggy daycare, Gregg and Jody were willing to put in the time and sacrifice to do something that they loved. They have two daughters, Morgan and Kaley. Kaley loves spending her time playing with the client dogs whenever school breaks allow, so Playtime truly is a family business.

Our employees are all experienced dog handlers, with varying backgrounds in training, veterinary experience, and dog psychology. The owners have over 35 years professional dog related experience between them, and every shift features decades of experienced professionals caring for your loved ones. We have the best dog handler to dog ratio in the state, and our handlers' first priority is the safety and well-being of your loved one. 

Playtime Doggy Daycare has been taking care of my yellow lab, Princess, since they've opened. When I needed someone to watch after my favorite girl, while I worked, I couldn't just trust anyone with that all important task. Jody and Gregg Pawelski, along with their whole crew at Playtime, have made Princess and me feel like one of the family.They've been friendly, helpful, and non-pretentious. They always have time to speak to me to tell me just how Princess's day went. I pick her up and she's always clean and smells fresh. When I need to board Princess overnight, I never worry about her because leaving her at Playtime Doggy Daycare is like leaving her with family I can trust. I truly appreciate the way they care for my best friend. If you want to bring your pet to a daycare center, consider Playtime. You won't be disappointed! - Peter Badalmenti

At first I was reluctant to want to put so much time and money into dog daycare. I now tell everyone I know about Playtime, am no longer worried about what my "little princess" is getting into at home! -Jennifer Lilly

I LOVE the flexibility of Playtime Doggy Daycare! Sometimes my schedule does not work exactly into Playtime's scheduled (hours) and (they) always find a way to accommodate me and my dogs!! I am very grateful for this!!!! The staff are friendly and kind and some go above and beyond to help customers. -Peggy S.

Finding a place that cared for my dog as much as I do has been difficult.  After trying to other nearby daycare facilities, I decided to try one more, and Playtime Doggy Daycare lived up to and exceeded my expectations!  Sadie comes home tired, happy, and curls up on my lap after playtime there, and when I turn off of HWY100 to go the building, she gets so excited she shakes with her tail wagging!!! Thank you for creating a huge, fun, playground for my cutie!-Lisa Kerkela
