Start Off Right with FREE Puppy Socialization
DePAW Pet Resort is here for your pets—from the very start. Puppies are in a critical developmental stage as they learn how to interact with the world around them. Our complimentary puppy socialization in Geneva, IL is designed to make the most of this valuable time.
Puppies will get to play, explore, and engage with other young pups under the watchful eye of our professional caregivers. They’ll also experience new sights, sounds, smells, and settings. This exposure helps reduce behavioral challenges later in life as your puppy learns to be comfortable with other dogs, new people, and different environments.

Dog Daycare FAQ
What vaccinations are required for dog daycare?
To keep our daycare guests safe and healthy, we require all dogs be up to date on vaccinations for rabies, distemper combo, Bordetella and a negative fecal exam. We highly recommend the canine influenza vaccinations for all dogs but require it for dogs who live over 15 miles from our Geneva, IL facility. During active local outbreaks of canine influenza or leptospirosis, we may temporarily require these vaccinations, and will communicate these occurrences with our customers.
Do you require reservations for dog daycare?
Your dog’s safety is most important to us. We maintain the best level of staffing every day, keeping our group sizes down and supervision top notch. Therefore, we do require reservations so we can plan accordingly.
How old does my dog need to be to attend DePAW?
How does dog daycare benefit dogs?
Daycare is especially designed to benefit dogs by providing them a safe and secure outlet to have fun, exercise, and socialize. DePAW Pet Resort’s daycare program keeps your pet’s mind and body active, exercises their social skills, and channels their energy in healthy ways. It’s proven to reduce challenging behaviors born out of loneliness and boredom, such as excessive barking, destructive chewing, digging, and more.
Is your dog daycare area outside or inside?
We have both! There are large indoor and outdoor play areas for each side. Overhead doors lead out from inside play areas to large outdoor play area with play equipment for them to explore. We close the outside doors in case of inclement weather.
My dog doesn’t like to play with other dogs, would they still enjoy dog daycare?
We appreciate that some dogs would rather play with people than with the “pack.” Our customized daycare program, “Pack-Ademics” includes several thought-provoking activities, small group play or one-on-one playtime with staff so your pup can have tons of fun doing whatever they like most. They’ll enjoy all the fun of our play yards, K9 Recreation & Fitness Center, pools, playground and toys while soaking up the attention of a caregiver.
