In July 2026, our team headed to Lincoln, Rhode Island, to spend the lunch hours at Amica Mutual Insurance's headquarters on 50 Amica Way. From 11:30 AM to 2 PM, we ran puppy cuddle sessions for Amica employees, who came through in small groups of about 15 at a time. One month later, on August 20, 2026, Amica booked us again in the same format.
A lunchtime break at headquarters
A large headquarters campus has its own rhythm: different departments, different schedules, people who rarely cross paths. A two-and-a-half-hour window over lunch meant employees could drop in when it suited their day instead of everyone stopping at once. That is one of the reasons cuddle sessions work so well on site. Nobody needs to change clothes, nobody needs to leave the building, and the break fits neatly between meetings.
We arrived with everything needed to turn an indoor space into a secure puppy area: playpens, mats, supplies and our hostesses. When the last group left, we packed up and cleaned up, so the space was ready for regular business again.
Small groups, plenty of puppy time
This format is what we call Puppy Playtime: no yoga, just a calm, enclosed space where small groups rotate in and spend time with the puppies. Keeping groups around 15 people at a time means everyone gets to sit down, hold a puppy and take a photo without feeling rushed, and it keeps the environment comfortable for the animals.
Our hostesses guide each group as it comes in. They explain how to pick up and hold a puppy safely, keep an eye on every interaction and make sure the puppies get breaks, water and quiet time throughout the day. The puppies come from breeders and trusted rescue partners we work with, and they are socialized and supervised by our team and their breeder. Their welfare sets the pace.
“Employees had a great time.”
— the organiser at Amica Mutual Insurance
Why Amica came back a month later
A repeat booking only weeks after the first visit is the clearest sign that an event worked. Rotating sessions let a large employer reach many more people than a single class could, and booking a second date gives employees who missed the first round their turn. It also turns a one-off treat into something people start to look forward to.
Insurance, finance and other office-based teams often use puppy sessions for employee appreciation days, wellness weeks or simply a midsummer morale boost. The format scales easily, and it works just as well in a cafeteria, a conference room or a lobby as it does in our studio.
