The Doghouse Collective

Dog daycare and boarding, done differently.

We are a collaboration between Blockheads and Bows LLC and Folded Ear LLC to bring together two aligned care philosophies to create a structured, small-group daycare and/or boarding experience that prioritizes safety, enrichment, and individualized attention.

Why We Exist

The Doghouse Collective was created to combine the strengths of Blockheads and Bows Pet Services LLC and Folded Ear LLC to bring your dogs an unforgettable daycare experience.

    • Small play groups (4 dogs or less) designed for compatibility and maximum fun

    • Structured rotations between outdoor private park time, kennel rest with enrichment and more play time

    • Intentional supervision and behavior aware handling

    • Luxury level standards in a rustic, private setting

    • A focus on quality of care and environment for your pet over quantity

    • A rustic, private park setting for optimum decompression and exploration

    • Located in Tipp City we are able to offer 5 private parks including a private pond (swim days anyone?!?) to rotate playtime in and one dedicated daycare park

    • We were built for dogs who need something different from traditional daycares and boarding facilities- we offer a natural, calm alternative filled with maximum sunshine and sniffs in a safe, secure setting

  • The Doghouse Collective was built as a true partnership between Blockheads and Bows LLC and Folded Ear LLC. Both partners are equally invested in the vision, care standards, and overall pet + human care experience with clearly defined roles that ensure consistency, structure and quality across every pet interaction throughout the day.

    • Jason, the owner of Folded Ear LLC, leads the hands-on daycare environment daily, managing playgroups, supervision in the kennel areas, structured play group time, and owns the private parks used for The Doghouse Collective.

    • Kristen, the owner of Blockheads and Bows LLC, oversees all administrative operations, including scheduling, client onboarding + experience. Kristen will be assisting Jason daily on site with playgroups once her daily client services are finished. Daily services through Blockheads and Bows will continue to remain a separate business from The Doghouse Collective.

    • Both partners collaborate equally on care standards, decision making, and the overall direction of The Doghouse Collective.

  • The Doghouse Collective is a partnership, not a split. Every single aspect of your pet’s experience (and their human’s experience) is intentional and aligned.

    By each partner focusing on a strength area, The Doghouse Collective delivers both a high-touch client experience and a highly structured hands-on daycare environment. Dogs are actively managed, thoughtfully grouped, and supported throughout the day- while their humans receive clear communication, consistency and trust in the care being provided.

The Experience

Built for Balance.

Our dogs are not kept in constant group play. Instead, they move through a structured schedule that includes social time, rest, and enrichment to support both mental and physical well-being throughout their day.

Space to Decompress

With access to private outdoor and indoor areas in a natural setting, dogs are given the space they need to explore, reset and enjoy their day without the stress, overwhelming noise and chaos that can accompany a traditional daycare environment.

Limited Enrollment

To maintain small group sizes and a high standard of care, The Doghouse Collective accepts 4 dogs per playgroup, with a maximum capacity of 8 dogs per day. We operate at a smaller scale to ensure dogs who need one on one interaction are able to enjoy the same experience as our dogs in play groups.

Same Standards, Extra Environment

For existing Blockheads + Bows clients, you can expect the same level of luxury, attentiveness, and intentional care that your pet receives in-home. This has been expanded into a structured daycare setting curated for safety, enrichment, and maximum fun.

Ready to Join The Pack?

All daycare and boarding clients must create a client profile through our pet portal before services can begin.

Create Your Profile:
https://blockheadsbowsohio.mykcapp.com/clientlogin

Once your profile is complete and their vaccine records are uploaded, we will guide you through the next steps. Please note dogs must be current on Lepto, Parvo, Bordatella and Rabies in order to board with us or attend daycare. We do require veterinary records be on file in order to schedule your pet. At this time we do not require the influenza shot but that is subject to change depending on veterinary guidance.

Because at The Doghouse Collective, we're not your average daycareβ€”and we're definitely not your average boarding facility.

Client Portal

Whether you are looking for structured small-group daycare or a more customized private experience, we would love to connect! Email Kristen at blockheads.bows@gmail.com to inquire about availability and the next steps.

We cannot wait to see your pet at the park,
