A home away from home while you're away.
Whether you're away for one night or an extended trip, members spend their days doing what they already love—PLAYING with their friends—and their evenings resting comfortably at the club.
Familiar days. Comfortable nights.
PLAY During the Day
Every overnight member enjoys PLAY during the day, making their stay active, social, and familiar.
Familiar Faces
Members are cared for by the same team they already know and trust.
Comfortable Overnight Accommodations
A clean, climate-controlled environment with overnight spaces matched to each dog's size, comfort, and routine.
Added Peace of Mind
Unlike many freestanding facilities, Pupz Club is located within a residential and hotel building in downtown Rahway, with regular building activity nearby and police and fire services just steps away.

Common overnight questions.
What accommodations do you offer for STAY?+
We offer different overnight accommodations depending on each dog's size, comfort, and needs. Larger dogs may stay in spacious enclosures. Small and medium dogs may stay in kennels with orthopedic mattresses. If a dog is used to a traditional crate or kennel setup at home, we can often accommodate that routine when appropriate. Our goal is to place each member where they will feel safest and most comfortable.
Does my dog participate in PLAY during STAY?+
Yes, when approved for group play. One of the biggest benefits of STAY at Pupz Club is that members spend the day doing what they already love — participating in PLAY with familiar friends and familiar people. By evening, they are usually ready to rest after a full day at the club.
How long can my dog STAY?+
We have cared for members staying anywhere from one night to several weeks. The right length of stay depends on the dog. Some dogs settle in quickly and do very well during longer stays. Others may become homesick, frustrated, or less tolerant of the group as the stay continues. We monitor every member closely and will contact you if we feel your dog is not adjusting well or needs a different plan.
What if my dog does not eat during STAY?+
A reduced appetite during the first day or two can happen, especially for first-time overnight guests or dogs who are adjusting to a new routine. We monitor meals carefully and will let you know if your dog is not eating normally. If refusal to eat continues or we become concerned, we will contact you to discuss next steps, which may include trying a different feeding approach, contacting your emergency contact, or seeking veterinary guidance if needed.
What happens if my dog gets sick during STAY?+
If your dog becomes ill while staying with us, we will contact you right away. Depending on the situation, we may ask you or your emergency contact to pick them up. If urgent care is needed and we cannot reach you, we may seek veterinary care according to the authorization provided in your agreement. The health and safety of every member always comes first.
Every overnight member begins with a First Visit.
A complimentary temperament assessment lets us introduce your dog to the pack safely, confidently, and at their own pace before their first stay.
