Dog Daycare in Bangor & Holden, Maine

Regular daycare provides tremendous benefits for your dog's physical and mental health. Dogs are social animals that thrive on interaction with other dogs and people. At Carden Kennels and The Uncommon Dog, we create structured play environments where dogs can exercise, socialize, and engage their minds in positive ways.

Our daycare program is perfect for working pet parents who want their dogs to have a fulfilling day rather than spending hours alone at home. Instead of boredom and potential destructive behaviors, your dog will enjoy supervised play sessions, rest periods, and mental stimulation. Many pet parents notice their dogs come home happily tired and content.

Safety is our top priority. Before joining group play, all dogs must pass a temperament evaluation to ensure they're comfortable and compatible with other dogs. We carefully match playmates by size, energy level, and play style. Our team supervises play groups and keeps the environment balanced and positive. Curious what staff watch for during play? Our guide to reading your dog's body language explains the signals.

And before you pick up your pup, consider scheduling a bath or grooming service so they come home looking and smelling great.
