Founded by Marissa and Brad Sterl, Woof.Play.Eat. offers a full restaurant in addition to a 10,000-square-foot indoor-outdoor play environment where dogs can run, socialize, and burn energy year-round with highly trained staff overseeing safe, supervised play. For drop-off needs, the daycare program operates in a separate, purpose-built space with an enrichment-first approach, limited dogs per staff member, and multiple play areas that support structured activities and appropriately matched groups.
