Structured daycare for Langley dogs who need more than a backyard and a water bowl. Supervised play groups, planned rest periods, and behaviour-aware handling — about 15 minutes from Willowbrook, Willoughby, and Walnut Grove.
Our doggy daycare Langley BC program runs Monday to Friday, with drop-off between 7 and 9 am.
A window that fits a Langley commute down 200 Street or Highway 1.
Monday to Friday, with a predictable routine at both ends of the day.
Dogs are matched by temperament, energy, and play style — not just size.
Every dog completes a two-day assessment before joining daycare.
Most Langley dog owners are not looking for a place to leave the dog — they are looking for a place where the dog actually has a good day. K9 Friends is built around that difference. Days follow a rhythm: arrival and settling, supervised play in balanced groups, structured rest, and another calmer play period before pick-up.
That structure matters. Unstructured, high-energy daycare can leave dogs overstimulated and harder to live with at home. Our approach blends exercise with recovery, so dogs come home relaxed rather than wired.
Every dog starts doggy daycare Langley BC with a two-day assessment before joining a play group.
Daycare is not a holding pen. Every visit includes supervised socialization, exercise, rest, and the kind of routine that helps dogs feel secure.
Dogs socialize in balanced groups with active supervision, so play stays appropriate and confidence grows.
Quiet downtime is built into the day to prevent over-arousal and support better behaviour at home.
Room to run, sniff, explore, and reset — far more space than a typical indoor daycare.
Our head trainer's background in canine behaviour shapes how groups are formed and managed.
A structured trial confirms your dog is comfortable and safe in the group before regular attendance.
Straightforward updates and honest feedback about how your dog is settling in.
Four simple steps from first enquiry to a dog who is genuinely excited about daycare days.

Every new daycare dog completes a two-day trial. Our head trainer assesses comfort, play style, and group fit.

K9 Friends is located on 2.5 acres in Clayton Heights, right on the Langley–Surrey border. For most Langley families it is a short, predictable drive: roughly 15 minutes from downtown Langley and Willowbrook, 12 minutes from Willoughby, and about 15 minutes from Walnut Grove via 88 Avenue or Highway 1. Brookswood and Murrayville clients are usually here in around ten minutes.
Dogs left alone for nine or ten hours rarely sleep the whole time. Boredom and unspent energy show up as chewing, barking, pacing, and a dog who is wired when you finally get home. A well-run daycare day gives dogs appropriate social contact, physical activity, and — just as importantly — practice at settling. Many Langley clients tell us the biggest change is not the exercise; it is that their dog learns to switch off.
Because doggy daycare Langley BC groups stay small, the assessment is what keeps play safe for every dog.
A good daycare should be selective. Our two-day assessment exists to protect your dog and the dogs already attending. We look at comfort in a group, recovery after play, responsiveness to handling, and whether the environment suits the dog. If daycare is not the right fit, we will say so and suggest a better route, whether that is training, private sessions, or a different schedule.
All daycare and boarding dogs must have up-to-date vaccinations. We do not have breed restrictions — our policy is all-inclusive — because the assessment, not the breed label, is what determines whether a dog is a safe, stable pack member.
Daycare runs Monday to Friday. Drop-off is between 7:00 and 9:00 am, and pick-up is between 3:00 and 5:30 pm. Booking a full day gives your dog the most settle time and the most balanced routine.
Yes. Every new daycare dog completes a two-day trial and assessment. Our head trainer and behaviourist evaluates how your dog handles the group, the environment, and handling. It protects your dog and the dogs already attending.
We do not currently offer a pick-up or drop-off service. Langley clients drop their dogs off on the way to work or on the way home. Our drop-off and pick-up windows are designed around typical commute times.
Vaccinations must be current for all daycare and boarding dogs. Bring your records to your assessment, or have your veterinarian email them to us before your first day.
No. Our policy is all-inclusive. Suitability is determined by the two-day assessment and by ongoing observation of how each dog functions in the group.
Current daycare rates are listed on our rates page. Multi-day and regular-attendance options are available — ask us what makes sense for your schedule.
Daycare can be excellent for puppies once their vaccination schedule is complete. Young dogs benefit from controlled socialization and rest. For focused early work, see our puppy training page.
We welcome dogs from these communities every week.
