Doggy Daycare

Your pup will have a blast at our doggy daycare, whether at Barkin’ Up Hickory or Barkin’ Up Delafield! From socializing with fellow dogs to soaking up love and attention from our team, your furry friend can even enjoy lounging on cozy couches and chairs if they’d like.

Our daycare offers a range of activities to keep tails wagging all day:

  • Morning meet-and-sniff sessions
  • All-day indoor/outdoor access
  • Cozy couches and chairs (first come, first served)
  • Nonstop playtime with furry friends

Caring for Your Pup

Regular grooming isn’t just about keeping your pup looking good—it’s essential for their health and happiness. Our services help prevent matting, maintain healthy skin and coat, and keep your dog feeling fresh and comfortable. Plus, grooming provides an opportunity to check for any skin conditions or irregularities early on.

Testimonials

Funny closeup dog ​​face-stock

“Ben, what the heck did you do to this dog:) She has been wonderful since she got home! She has been sleeping under my feet for quite awhile now. She sprawled herself across the kitchen after her walk with Nick (which he did right when we got home). She has not eaten a pen or any copy paper so far (but when I opened the dishwasher she slowly walked over to clean things up – not her usual speed:). Thanks again!”

– Leigh from Waukesha (Poppy’s Mom)

“We don’t know what happens with Clay while he is there, but he came home EXHAUSTED!! He could barely walk up the stairs, then collapsed on the couch and we didn’t see much of him until the morning. Thanks!! He’ll be back again and again.”

– Lisa from Pewaukee (Prince’s mom)
