Dog daycare, boarding & grooming FAQs for Cape Girardeau & Jackson, MO — serving Fruitland, Perryville & all of Cape Girardeau County.
A single daycare day is $25, and memberships and multi-day packages bring the per-day price down from there. Daycare runs Monday–Friday at 11011 US HWY 61 in Jackson, MO — and families come to us from Cape Girardeau, Jackson, Fruitland and across Cape Girardeau County.
Every new dog starts with a friendly temperament evaluation, conducted by our trainers on Mondays and Wednesdays. Once it's complete, you can book daycare days right from the Paw Talk App.
Supervised group play sorted by your dog's size and energy, with a real midday rest built into every day — so dogs go home happily worn out instead of overtired. Photo updates come through the app while they play.

Our doggy daycare bus — a morning ride to daycare and back. You pick a bus stop when you book, and the bus does the rest. It runs on ride mornings (currently Monday, Wednesday and Friday) for pups on a daycare package or membership, with stops across Cape Girardeau, Jackson and Fruitland.
With a daycare membership, adding the bus works out to as little as $6 a ride over daycare alone. Add your stop when you book in the Paw Talk App.
