The Dog Stay

The Dog Stay is a crate-free daycare, boarding, and grooming facility in Silver Spring serving dogs with a philosophy centered on pack socialization and individual care. The facility operates four specialized playrooms designed by temperament and play style, maintains 24/7 in-person staff (no camera monitoring), and keeps dogs in open-pack environments rather than crates. Services include daycare ($43/day), overnight boarding with included daycare ($77/night), professional grooming packages starting at $60, medication administration, and structured enrichment activities—all designed around how dogs naturally thrive rather than convenience.
