We all know dogs are man’s best friends. But sometimes dogs like to socialize with other dogs, too. That’s why Hounds Town Hillsdale provides a fully interactive doggy daycare, dog boarding, and pet spa facility for dogs. They give pups and older dogs of all breeds a place to play, stay, and make new friends.
Hounds Town Hillsdale is a 5,000-square-foot green-and-blue space that can host 30 to 50 dogs. Their outdoor play area is completely fitted with turf. “When I opened this daycare, I focused on finding a spot where the pups can be carefully cared for. Our goal is to have these pups walk in and be themselves,” says owner Phillip Michael. “They play all day and night.” Aside from running the daycare, Phillip builds homes and lives in nearby Paramus.

Visiting Hounds Town Hillsdale
While Hounds Town Hillsdale regulars will feel right at home, first time pups may need time to adjust. Of course, a staff member will be on hand to introduce every new dog to their new surroundings. Each new member will meet other pups that match their own size and temperament. Then, after finding a suitable pack, dogs rotate through a variety of play areas to enjoy new sights and smells. “Our daycare is unique because we leave all pups in the playroom,” Phillip says. “We group dogs by their age and size so this way all dogs are with those of similar sizes.”

When it’s time to take a break, every dog has their own townhome. There are also Kuranda beds in the playroom. For extended stays, Hounds Town Hillsdale offers both overnight dog boarding townhomes and luxury suites. During these stays, dogs first enjoy a full day of play in the daycare center. After that, staff members bring them to a separate dog boarding area for a good night’s rest. Depending on temperament and preference, dogs can either sleep in a private townhome or near friends in a luxury suite. Pups never have to share food with friends, as the staff brings breakfast and dinner straight to their suite/townhome.
Bonus Benefits
In addition to daycare and overnight boarding, Hounds Town Hillsdale also offers day spa services. This includes teeth brushing, de-matting, nail trimming and grinding, and spa baths. They also host parties and special holiday events, so pups can take photos with Santa, the Easter Bunny, and more. The lobby is open to the public to ask questions and check on their pup. However, the lobby closes from Noon to 2:00 pm Monday – Saturday for nap time.
