Dog Daycare - We currently have a waitlist in some groups.
Benefits of Dog Daycare
- Socialization - The constant interaction at dog daycare satisfies a dog's desire to play and learn how to approach different situations.
- Safety - All dogs are under monitoring at Ultimutt Knoxville to ensure their complete safety.
- Routine - As creatures of habit, dogs thrive on routine.
- Purpose - Daycare provides your dog with a day of fun instead of boredom.
- Variety - Whether it's playing with other dogs or enjoying staff snuggles, daycare caters to a dog's every desire.
- Exercise - Daycare allows your dog to be a dog. They'll receive the exercise they need so that they're ready to relax when it's time to go home.
Human Requirements
- We prefer you leave a credit card on file
- You should have an emergency contact on file
- If you aren’t picking up, name of person who is picking up
General Facility Requirements
- Your dog must be people friendly
- Your dog must come on leash
- Your dog should NOT be in heat
- Your dog should be in good health
- Your dog should not be overtly anxious
Just like humans, not all dogs are good socially with other dogs. They must meet our requirements
- All dogs must be spayed/neutered by 6 months. Those that aren't fixed by 6 months can attend daycare after that but their participation in daycare may be limited to 1:1 or solo activities depending on their behavior and age
- Dogs must pass our 4 hour evaluation, where we evaluate dogs based on:
- Human Interaction (e.g., meeting, handling, obedience)
- Dog Greetings (e.g., body posture, excitement, anxiety)
- Open Play Behavior (e.g., play style, stress level)
3 Daycare Options

Day Camp Group Play
Dog Daycare runs Monday thru Friday. We open at 6:30 am and close Monday thru Thursday at 7 pm and Friday at 6 pm. Group play includes playtime and some down time. Our groups are based on size and temperament.
Puppy Daycare
Puppy daycare is great for new puppies that need socialization, manner training and enrichments. We expose them to several different textures, sounds, smells, people and dogs. Weight up to 35-40 pounds. Puppies over 6 months and not neutered/spayed will not be in group play but will do enrichments and 1:1 activities with staff.
Daycare Pricing
Dog Daycare pricing starts at $35 for one day. We have several packages that drop the price down depending on how many passes are purchased. See our 3 Daycare Options page (link above) for information.
