Invite Code: 535892
A Temperament Test is three hours of daycare during which you leave your dog with BB's Playhouse, and we observe your dog's interaction with other dogs.
You must be available via phone at all times during the test.
Upon pick-up, we will discuss the results. If your dog passes, you'll have access to scheduling daycare and boarding via Gingr.
Available Mondays & Fridays — latest check-in at 11:00am.
No fee.
3:00pm Monday–Friday, and 1:00pm Saturday & Sunday — unless you're a BB's Annual VIP Member, who has no drop-off restriction.
Yes. 6:00am is the earliest, but additional fees apply (see Early Drop fees). VIP Members can drop off as early as 6:45am Mon–Fri at no extra cost.
Yes. 10:00pm is the latest. Additional fees apply. Anything after 10pm becomes an overnight boarding — no exceptions. VIP Members can pick up as late as 7:15pm Mon–Fri at no extra cost.
A collar or harness must be worn at all times. We recommend a collar for comfort. If your dog arrives with both, the collar stays on and the harness goes with their personal items.
Of course. No charge if you bring food. We have bowls on-site (never shared), a fridge/freezer, and scheduled water breaks 3x a day. In-house kibble available for $5.00/cup if needed.
Full days include one relief walk (~10 min). Half days include a relief walk for VIP Members only. Additional relief walks ($6/$5 VIP) or 20-min walks ($12/$10 VIP) can be added. "VIP 3" does not include a walk.
We strongly encourage it, but it's not required.
Nope — your reservation is a placeholder. No need to contact us if you're early or late. Half-day reservations still give you up to 6 hours regardless of exact timing.
Cancel by midnight the day before — no fee. Same-day cancellations are charged 20% of the reservation cost. Your first cancellation is on the house!
Yes. Pricing is based on distance. Contact us for details.
Yes — photos and updates are sent via text after the afternoon relief walk.
Yes, we'll happily administer any required medication.
Yes — 10% multi-pet discount on daycare & boarding.
We strongly encourage reserving ahead to ensure availability.
Food is most important. You can also bring snacks, a favorite bed, blanket, or toy — whatever makes them feel at home!
Only if requested. We want to maintain consistency with your dog's routine at home.
5:00pm — no exceptions, seven days a week.
Yes, but additional fees apply. See Early Drop / Late Pick-Up pricing.

For 13 years I've worked with dogs ranging from in-home doggy daycare, board & train, customized dog walks, rescue rehabilitation, private training, and dog sittings. To see their progress in life — whether a dog is from a breeder or adopted/rescued — is one of the most fulfilling things I've felt. Safety, Trust & Love always come first as I work with clients long-term to help them achieve and maintain their goals.
Registration is first come, first served. 14 spots total — 7 at 9:00am and 7 at 10:30am.

BB's Playhouse is the product of Beycon and Brandon's two dads' love for their two four-legged babies. Offering daycare, boarding, small group training, and more, BB's Playhouse and its incredibly dedicated staff are ready to serve you and the entire Astoria community.
Tony and Richard are the Owners of BB's Playhouse. Together since 2008, their dedication to each other is a direct reflection of their dedication to Beycon and Brandon, and now your four-legged babies.
Beycon (pronounced Bacon) is our rescue from South Carolina, and we found her in Astoria Park thanks to Rescue Dogs Rock.
Breed — Treeing Walker Coonhound
Brandon is our rescue from Houston, and we found him at Humane Society of New York after he was displaced during Hurricane Harvey.
Breed — Half Chihuahua / Half German Shepherd
