Separation Without The Anxiety For You & Your Dog
When your days are packed with work, family, and travel, leaving your dog at home can feel stressful. You want them safe, tired in a good way, and cared for by people you trust, not stuck in a crate watching the clock. That is what we work to provide at All American Pet Resorts New Bern.
Our upscale, all-suite resort near James City offers a dog daycare experience that feels more like a getaway than a chore. Dogs enjoy cage-free suites with soft bedding, supervised indoor and outdoor play, and calm rest breaks that keep them from getting overwhelmed. Our Pet Care Specialists are on-site 24/7/365, and live webcams let you see how much fun your dog is having while you are away.
Whether you need a reliable weekday routine or an occasional daycare solution before a trip, we are here to turn worry into peace of mind. On this page, you will see how our program works, how we keep dogs safe and comfortable, and how simple it is to get started with care that fits your family.
Why Our Daycare Stands Out
Pet parents want more than a place to leave their dog—they want a safe, comfortable environment where their dog is genuinely cared for. Our resort near James City is designed to provide supervision, structure, and comfort from drop-off to pick-up.
All-suite, cage-free accommodations: Dogs relax in private, climate-controlled suites with soft bedding, not wire crates, creating a calm and comfortable stay.
24/7 on-site supervision: Our team is present day and night, monitoring play, checking on overnight guests, and responding quickly if a dog needs attention.
Structured, balanced playgroups: Dogs are grouped by size, age, and play style for supervised indoor and outdoor sessions, with scheduled rest breaks to prevent over-stimulation.
Straightforward pricing: Daycare includes bedding, supervised play, and routine medications without surprise add-on fees.
Local care with national standards: As a locally owned resort supported by an established brand, we combine community connection with consistent training and best practices.
Together, these elements create a dependable, welcoming experience where dogs feel comfortable, and families feel confident every time they visit.
When you can picture your dog’s day from drop-off to pick-up, it is much easier to relax and focus on your own schedule. We keep our routine consistent, with enough flexibility to suit each dog’s needs. From the moment your dog arrives, our team is there to guide them through a smooth, reassuring experience.
Morning drop-off typically starts with a friendly welcome and a brief check-in with you. We review feeding instructions, confirm any medications, and take note of how your dog seems that day. Then your dog settles into their suite to get comfortable before joining an appropriate playgroup. This gives them a few minutes to acclimate and sniff the new surroundings at their own pace.
Once groups are formed based on size, age, and energy and play style, we move into supervised indoor or outdoor play sessions. Dogs might romp with friends in secure outdoor yards, explore toys selected by staff, or enjoy interactive time with our Pet Care Specialists. Throughout these sessions, we watch group dynamics closely and make adjustments if a dog looks tired, shy, or extra spirited that day.
Here is an example of a typical daycare day schedule:
Morning drop-off, check-in, and time to settle into a suite
First supervised play session with a matched group
Midday suite rest and water break
Second play block indoors or outdoors, depending on weather
Afternoon quiet time with snacks or meals as instructed
Gentle activity and wind-down before pick-up
By the time you arrive to take your dog home, our goal is for them to be content, relaxed, and ready for a calm evening with you. Many families in this area tell us their dogs start getting excited as soon as they see they are heading to the resort, which is the kind of routine we work to help create.
Support For Different Dogs
No two dogs are alike, and a daycare that feels perfect for one may be overwhelming for another. Our goal is to support puppies, social butterflies, seniors, and shy dogs by paying attention to what each dog needs to feel comfortable and engaged.
When we form playgroups, we look at size, age, and energy and play style so dogs are matched with companions who suit them. A bouncy young dog might join a more active group, while a smaller or quieter dog may spend time with friends who prefer gentle play. We watch how each dog responds in the group and make adjustments so they can enjoy their time rather than just tolerate it.
Older dogs often need a different pace. For seniors, we focus on shorter play sessions, ample rest in their suite, and easy access to water. Our flooring and climate control help these dogs stay comfortable, and our staff keeps a close eye on signs of stiffness or fatigue. If a senior dog seems happiest with more cuddles and less play, we do our best to honor that preference.
Puppies are still learning how the world works, so their daycare days may include more frequent breaks and gentle guidance in play. We help them build positive associations by introducing them to friendly dogs and watchful staff members, not overwhelming crowds. Over time, this can support their confidence, so daycare becomes something they look forward to as they grow.
Trusting someone with your dog means trusting that the environment is clean, thoughtfully designed, and monitored with care. We structure our facility and routines to support both physical wellbeing and emotional comfort, so you can feel confident about where your dog spends their day.
Our resort features joint-friendly flooring throughout dog spaces, which helps reduce stress on paws and joints, especially for larger or older dogs. Indoor areas are climate-controlled to keep temperatures comfortable, while outdoor yards give dogs fresh air and room to move when weather allows. This balance of surfaces and spaces helps dogs play comfortably and rest without strain.
Cleanliness is an ongoing priority, not an occasional task. We use antimicrobial surface treatments in key areas and follow a consistent sanitation schedule to help control germs and odors. Advanced air-exchange systems bring in fresh air and reduce stale smells, which creates a more pleasant environment for sensitive noses. These details may be behind the scenes, but they shape what your dog experiences every visit.
Our Pet Care Specialists actively supervise group play and individual dogs instead of simply watching from a distance. They monitor body language, energy levels, and interactions, then step in to redirect or separate dogs when needed. This hands-on approach is central to keeping play sessions fun, safe, and appropriate for each dog in the yard.
Some of the safety and cleanliness measures you will find at our resort include:
Joint-friendly, easy-to-clean flooring in dog areas
Antimicrobial surfaces and regular sanitation routines
Advanced air-exchange systems for fresher air
Active supervision of all playgroups and suites
Continuous on-site staffing for quick response at any time
For many James City families, safety and health are the deciding factors when they compare options. By sharing our approach openly, we work to make it easier for you to see how seriously we take your dog’s wellbeing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will my dog be supervised the entire time?
Yes, our team is on-site 24/7/365, and dogs are actively supervised during play and monitored while they rest. Pet Care Specialists watch group interactions, check on suites regularly, and are available at all times. This continuous presence helps us respond quickly if a dog needs extra attention.
How do you decide which dogs play together?
We group dogs by size, age, energy and play style, then watch how they interact. Our team adjusts groups when needed so play stays comfortable and safe.
Can you follow my dog’s medications?
We can administer medications that you supply, according to your schedule. Our staff records what is given and when, so routines stay consistent. Medication administration itself is handled carefully.
What will my dog’s first daycare day be like?
Your dog’s first day usually starts with extra time to settle into a suite and meet staff. We introduce them to a suitable playgroup gradually and build in more rest and observation. Afterward, we share how the day went and talk through what type of schedule might work best.
How often do most dogs come to daycare?
Many families choose daycare several times a week to match workdays, while others use it as an occasional treat or support before trips. We can help you decide on a routine based on your dog’s energy level, social comfort, and your schedule, so the plan works well for everyone.

This facility is amazing!
This facility is amazing! My pup has attended daycare, and most recently boarding. The supervised playtime is great for her socialization. They attach a report card daily, with photos. The 24/7 webcam access is wonderful to check in on her. She’s always having fun! The staff engages in play with the dogs, and you can tell they truly care about them.
We had a not-so-great experience at another boarding facility in the area. I was nervous to board her again. However, picking her up from boarding, she was as happy as can be and I knew she was well taken care of and loved while we were away. Thank you so much❤️

Professionalism of the Team
Ford had his orientation today. I was instantly impressed by the professionalism of the team of employees. They explained how they orient the dogs and then showed me Ford on the large screen monitor in the lobby. We loved all of the web cameras they have, enabling us to check in during Ford's stay. The outdoor play area is perfect. They have employees out with dogs ensuring safety and fun playtime. We are excited for Ford's first sleepover in a few weeks.

Staff treats her like their pet
Stella has been attending All American since Jan 2024, and we both absolutely love it. Stella gets so excited when she realizes we are almost there. I love the fact that every member of the staff knows Stella, and they treat her like she is their pet! The extended hours make it very convenient for those of us who work non-traditional hours. The cameras are a nice feature, so we can check in on our pets. Thank you All American Pet Resort for taking care of the infamous Stella.

My first time bringing my dog. She seemed to like it. I will be taking her back for doggy daycare. Everyone was very helpful and explained the whole process. Like that you can see the dogs on camera.

Wonderful care they received
I cannot say enough good things about All American Pet Resorts in New Bern‼ We have boarded our two dogs there numerous times so far, and were so very pleased with the wonderful care they received! One of the owners is there ALL night and you can view the dogs 24 hours a day with their cameras. The dogs are taken out to either the indoor or outdoor play yards (according to the weather) on a regular basis and get to exercise and socialize with other pups. The owners are very observant & notify you of any problem your pet may have. If you want professional care, I highly recommend this place!
Susan Bridges
Haley is a fantastic groomer
All American always takes great care of my dogs. I love the live cameras you can view at any time to see how your pets are doing. The daily reports are great and always give me peace of mind that my dogs are in the best care. The staff are so friendly and caring. Haley is a fantastic groomer and always does a great job!

Excellent Job Grooming Our Doodle
Haley does an excellent job grooming our doodle. She takes the time before each cut to find out exactly what services we are looking for and gives feedback when the appointment is completed.

Worth the Cost
The Boi loves the gourmet chicken feet! At a moment's notice, the staff go out of their way to facilitate your pup's attention needs. It's not cheap, nor would I want it to be. It's definitely worth the cost, be sure to order the freeze pops. GOD bless America!

Dogs in doggy play
I took my 2 older dogs in for daycare. They spent time in doggy play. I watched on the Webcam. They seemed to really enjoy themselves. The 12-year-old had such a good time playing, she went straight to her bed and slept for hours.
Jeanne Miller
He made friends, both human and canine.
Friendly and caring. We left our most prized possession here and he LOVED it! We got held up and came back an hour late, no problem. He made friends, both human and canine. We will definitely take him here in the future. Thank you!
Francis Mckenzie
Great Experience
I have had a great experience. I love the fact that I can check in on my dog periodically throughout the day. The staff are all pleasant and friendly. Tito Mojito has only been to daycare twice, so he doesn't have an opinion just yet 😆
