Visit us!Dogs under 30 pounds have unique play styles and care needs. At K9 Resorts, our small dog daycare in Hilliard is designed specifically for smaller breeds, giving them opportunities to play, socialize and enjoy a structured day with dogs their own size. For many pet parents, daycare is about more than filling the hours while they are away. It is about giving their dog a place to enjoy movement, social time and a structured routine guided by a trained team. Our all-day play approach gives approved doggie daycare guests opportunities to stay active, socialize and enjoy supervised group play instead of spending long stretches in crates.
A great small dog daycare experience starts with the right environment. Smaller dogs often do best when they can play with dogs closer to their own size. At K9 Resorts Hilliard, dogs are grouped by size to support a more appropriate play environment.
Before joining group play, each new dog completes our daycare evaluation and integration process. Our team takes time to learn about your dog’s play style, personality and response to new surroundings. Dogs are introduced thoughtfully, one by one, with natural dog behavior in mind.
Approved doggie daycare guests enjoy all-day group play in our indoor and outdoor play areas. For dogs who are not participating in group play, we also offer private play sessions with a trained team member, providing individualized attention and enrichment.
Pet parents choose K9 Resorts because we approach daycare with purpose. Every part of the experience is built around structure, enrichment and individualized care. From the moment your dog arrives, our team focuses on creating a warm, professional environment where small dogs can enjoy their day.
Our climate-controlled resort spaces are maintained between 68 and 72 degrees in all areas, helping maintain a consistent indoor environment year-round. Our team members also complete comprehensive training that may include Professional Pet Boarding Certification, Pet First Aid & CPR and ongoing education.
The K9 Clean System reflects our purpose-driven approach to total dog wellness. It includes advanced HVAC systems, Pet Aerapy UV-light technology, antimicrobial flooring and thoughtful sanitation protocols using pet-safe products.
For small dogs, daycare provides exercise, mental engagement and supervised socialization. Our K9 Playtime Activity Series also adds enrichment and variety beyond group play, helping keep dogs engaged while they're with us.
K9 Resorts Hilliard offers small dogs under 30 pounds a premium daycare experience designed specifically for their size and play style. With size-based playgroups, private play options and a trained team, your dog can enjoy a structured day filled with enrichment, activity and professional supervision.

I can’t say enough great things about K9 Resorts. Our 2yr old Mountain Cur attends daycare three days a week and has the time of his life! He is so excited to go see his friends and spend the day doing a variety of activities. The staff is fabulous, creating an enriched environment each wk. We also use K9 resorts for boarding. While traveling, the staff sent pictures and updates. It was wonderful to see him enjoying his time while we were gone. Honestly, knowing our boy was in such good hands; priceless!
I am so happy we have this oasis in our neighborhood. I’ve never been to a daycare or boarding facility that truly made me and my dog feel like members of the family. The staff is incredible and (despite seemingly treating everyone like their favorite based on the other reviews) genuinely make us feel like we are the MVPs every time we walk through the door. I can’t say enough wonderful things about the staff and the facility. It looks and smells brand new, and there is always a friendly face in the lobby to welcome us! The calendar of events is always fun and they involve all of the dogs, even the ones who aren’t naturally photogenic. I know that’s not by accident - they really have the very best dog people who sincerely seem to enjoy the work that they do. You are all SO appreciated! Love, Kermie and his mama ❤️
I wanted to share the wonderful experience my Doberman, Stella, and I have had with The K9 Team over the past month. As I prepared for knee surgery, I needed a daycare and boarding facility I could truly trust with my girl. From the very beginning, The K9 Team welcomed Stella with such warmth and care, providing exceptional overnight boarding and daycare support throughout my recovery. Knowing Stella was safe, happy, loved, and so well cared for gave me tremendous peace of mind during a challenging time. The kindness, professionalism, and genuine affection the staff showed her each day truly meant the world to me. I especially appreciated the thoughtful updates, adorable photos, and consistent communication—they always made me smile and reassured me that Stella was thriving. The staff did an amazing job helping Stella feel comfortable and integrated into the program, making sure she had plenty of exercise, socialization, and attention. The photos—from special events to everyday playtime—have been absolutely priceless. It’s so clear how much she loves her four-legged friends and the wonderful people at the center who care for her like family. I truly could not be happier with the experience we’ve had, and I wholeheartedly recommend The K9 Team to anyone looking for a compassionate, knowledgeable, and trustworthy dog care facility.
This place and the staff are the absolute best. I have 2 dogs, one of which has anxieties and medication needs. The team at K9 is super caring and knowledgeable and they seem to genuinely love my dogs. Both of them sprint towards the door when it’s time for their visit. I can’t recommend this place enough! It makes me happy knowing they will receive great care when I’m away or even just at work. It takes a huge load off!
Our 4 dogs were boarded for 8 nights /days while we were vacationing. It was amazing! They stayed together in a luxury suite. I received updates with photos. They were so well cared for, had interactive play time, nutritious meals, and a beautiful bath before we picked them up. All of the employees, the owners are so experienced and caring. My dogs are my family and they deserve the best.....this is the best!! Our visually challenged beagle goes once a week for day care and interaction and loves it. This is the best place where you will have peace of mind knowing your dogs are taken care of like family .
I highly recommend k9 resorts Hilliard! My dog goes absolutely nuts when I tell her she gets to go to day care! And when I pick her up she’s exhausted and ready to relax. Just do it! Your pup will love you for it.
PUPDATE: Both of my dogs love coming here! They both have so much fun in day care every time they come! My newest rescue dog Aurie has specifically enjoyed her time here making a lot of new friends! She gets so excited every time we pull into the lot and that makes me so happy 😁 The staff is genuine, transparent, kind, and they all have a lot of experience! I love that my dogs come home smelling clean even though I know that they've been wrestling around all day with their buddies. K9 Resorts definitely sets the bar HIGH when it comes to doggy daycare and boarding - there is literally no other place like it! Initial Review: Toured this facility and it was AMAZING! Super clean, staff is so kind! I can't WAIT for it to open on the 17th!
I've been with K9 resorts since they opened!! This is an awesome facility!! It's so clean!! and Brand new!! Lots of room for the dogs to play!! What makes this place great is the kindness of the staff!! Everyone I've encountered is kind and cares about your pet!! My Holly is 6 months old and rushes to the door each time we arrive!! The team provides updates and send pics if you request them!! They have lots of cool activities for the dogs. I'm not concerned about leaving her there for the day while I work. Communication with the team is transparent! I appreciate that so much! They have so many package offerings and boarding options too for you to choose from. They have indoor and outdoor play spaces that are very secure!! They have an app for scheduling or you can call or use their website!! I had a leather leash that needed repaired and Zac took care of it for me!! So kind!! Call for a tour and check it out!! I highly recommend K9 Resorts!! Many Thanks from Holly too!!
