Hello from Birch Walk.
We’re a dog daycare in the middle of Northbridge. Every day is built around company, play and proper rest, and every dog starts with a first visit.
A daycare day isn’t non-stop.
RifPaw is a dog daycare on Birch Walk, in the middle of Northbridge. We look after dogs while their owners work, with days built around company, play and proper rest.
We started RifPaw because a good daycare day isn’t non-stop. Dogs need time with friends and time to themselves, games and naps, and people who notice the difference.
Every dog starts with a first visit, and every day is planned around the notes you give us. At pickup, we’ll always tell you how it went.
What we believe a good day looks like.
Every dog is different
We plan company, play and rest around each dog, not around a fixed schedule.
Rest matters
Midday rest is part of every day. Tired dogs are happier dogs, and so are their owners.
Notes travel with them
What you tell us goes on their notes and shapes every day they spend with us.
You hear how it went
At pickup we tell you how their day went and anything worth knowing.
What we never do.
- Hand your dog to anyone you haven’t named
- Skip midday rest for a busy dog
- Put a dog in company they find too much
- Start a full day without a first visit
