Woofs Play & Stay

What Woofs Play & Stay does

Woofs Play & Stay is a privately held, multi-location pet care services company founded by Dave Dreiling and headquartered in the greater Kansas City area. The company operates eight owned-and-operated facilities across Kansas and Missouri (Leawood, Merriam, Lawrence, Topeka, Overland Park, Prairie Village, Olathe, and Lee's Summit) plus two partner locations in Nebraska (Bellevue Pet Adventures, ALPS Bark Park), delivering four integrated service lines: DayPlay (supervised group dog daycare), NightStay (overnight boarding in Standard, Premium, Luxury, and Presidential suites), Grooming (full groom, bath & brush, breed-specific services), and Training (Play & Train, group classes, private lessons, and puppy preschool), with Kitty Care cat boarding as a secondary offering.

The technology stack is composed of third-party platforms rather than proprietary systems: Gingrapp powers the customer booking portal (woofwoof.portal.gingrapp.com), OnlineDoggy delivers 24/7 live webcam streaming across play areas and luxury suites, and the ODoggy mobile app on iOS and Android gives pet parents remote viewing. Physical facilities feature zero-entry tubs, Kuranda orthopedic beds, indoor/outdoor play yards, summer pools, and multi-level cat condos; the Prairie Village location was acquired from DogPawz, and the South Overland Park location was rebranded from the former Two Dogs & A Cat.

Woofs generates revenue primarily through per-visit unit pricing (DayPlay $20-$35/day, NightStay $44-$86/night, Full Groom $80-$125+) supplemented by the Woofpack recurring membership program ($145-$612/month across 5/10/15/Unlimited day tiers) which provides guaranteed reservations and a 20% grooming discount. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via owned physical locations, supplemented by per-location Facebook and Instagram accounts, the ODoggy app, and a 'Friends of Woof's' community partnership program with 12+ non-profits. The company operates within the Woof's Pet Resort family brand alongside sister companies Pet Butler (waste removal), Callie Mae's Barkery & Bath (retail treats and self-wash), and Dubdog Designs (handcrafted pet accessories), and partners with KC Dawgz for training delivery. No public revenue, funding, or headcount figures are disclosed.
