We love Dog Days! Each time my puppy has stayed at here I know she is in good hands. She is excited every time we arrive and is always greeted in a loving way by one of the staff. You can tell they really care about your animals care and well-being. I expected it to smell like dog the first time I entered but the space is very clean and I feel safe knowing my dog is going to be in a clean and healthy environment. I love the report cards they provide so when you leave your puppy overnight, you always know how they are doing. I trust DD fully with my fur babies and will definitely be bringing Kimura (and Ozzy) back next time we need care. Thank you DD staff.

The service and care at Dog Days is outstanding. I use their boarding and grooming services. They always know everything about your pet and exactly what they need. They pay attention to everything and miss nothing. I love Dog Days, I never worry when they are involved. Thank you guys for all you do. Martha and Zen

Baby pup

My fur baby has been a family member of Dog Days since May 2024. My daughter was getting married and I had to leave my fur baby for three nights. I was very nervous- - it was his first time overnight. The staff were sweet and reassured me that he will be fine and I could call to check on him. I could see that he trust them very much cause the next time I brought him in, he walk in without hesitation.

Tosca loves loves loves it here! Everyone that works at Dog Days is amazing. Tosca is as excited to see the humans as she is the dogs. She will go say hi to all the humans first. The photos say it all. Most are of her at the daycare and a few are after being picked up from Dog Days. Tosca is a rescue from Ensenada. We started fostering her in April. She was a shop dog and I took her home each night and well, I eventually adopted her because c'mon just look at her ~ she's friggin adorable ~ She was almost a perfect dog ~ she just needed socializing. She loves everyone and is such a happy dog but she used to get over excited when she saw other dogs ~ so walks weren't a lot of fun. After only a short time of hanging at Dog Days, everything shifted. And now she's truly a perfect dog. The coolest dog I've ever had. Oh, and she loves the Pack Hikes. She falls to sleep on those nights with a huge smile on her face. So adorable I haven't boarded her yet, but will happily board Tosca if I should need to. I can't say enough good things about Dog Days. I highly recommend them!

They take great photos too

Dog Days is awesome !!! The customer service (for dogs and their parents) is top notch. They take such great care of my dogson Preston. He always has a blast and he's been here for multiple over nights and daycare sessions. He comes home worn out, which is good because he's a husky mix with tons of energy. I can't recommend Dog Days enough.

Our dog loves Dog Days! He has been going for daycare consistently for 6+ months now and he is typically exhausted afterwards. Dog Days offers full and half day daycare options along with overnight boarding. They also offer pack hikes and grooming options to add on as well. While they have daily rates, they also have monthly packages and even an unlimited option. We typically purchase a package that expires within 31 days after first use. For boarding, the package expires within 365 days. Our dog has done great at daycare and boarding. We like the fact that for boarding, the dogs can sleep either in the open or in a kennel. Our dog would play nonstop if he could, so we appreciate when the staff helps him take a nap when he needs it! The staff is very friendly and they really care for the dogs. On occasion, we'll add on a bath and they make sure that he is bathed close to pick up time. Tips: -Purchase a package to save money. -Reservations can be made online; however, they are not confirmed until they accept it (you will get an email confirmation). It typically does not take long for the reservation to be confirmed. -If you need to cancel a reservation, be sure to do so 24 hours in advance, or you will be charged a fee. -Currently there is only one customer allowed in the lobby at a time. Wait is never long though as it's pretty fast to drop off and pick up your dog. -Follow Dog Days on Instagram and Facebook to see photos of the pups from the day!

This place makes me so sad... because I don't live in San Diego and my little Psyche does not get to visit often. I had planned a weekend in San Diego with my partner and on the day we were leaving, we realized that we had to bring our dog too. So we all had a beautiful weekend but on Sunday, we were visiting the zoo, and obviously she couldn't come with us. I found this place on Google and gave them a call. Filled some forms and 2 days later, I left my little girl there. It was my first time leaving her in any day care. I've only left her at the groomers before and even that only happens rarely. But I felt beyond comfortable. Taylor was there to receive us, and she's super sweet. A few hours later I got a report card which I will probably end up framing and 8 hours later, I picked up a very very happy puppy who went straight to sleep, passing out from all the fun she clearly had. Cannot wait to come back!!

Our dog, Sadie loves spending time at Dog Days SD! She is wagging her tail once we pull into the parking lot, eager to go inside. The staff is wonderful, and we know that she is safe and well cared for when she's there!

Love dog days! My puppy was 4 months old when a trainer recommended I send him here a couple days a week to allow him to socialize with other dogs in a safe environment. I was really nervous at first but the staff put me completely at ease! They do an initial temperament test to make sure the pups will do well in the environment. They send you a detailed report on the first day (including info about the friends your pup makes:) !). The workers are always so kind and clearly care about the dogs and pay attention to each one. I truly don't know how they do it with so many dogs! They also offer an extensive list of add ons - training sessions, treat times, pack walks, etc., while your dog is there. I hadn't planned on boarding my puppy but he loves DD so much I brought him here the first time I went away for the weekend and he did great! Every time I called to check in they did not make me feel like an inconvenience and gave me a detailed update! I can't express how grateful I am to have found DD as an anxious first time pet parent!

Seb playing with his neighborhood shibe bestie

We're not consistent users of Dog Days, but although it's been a year since we last used them for daycare and boarding, the staff there remember our male shiba (Seb) and are clearly fond of him. They upload cute photos and videos on Instagram stories, as well as high quality photos of the pups on Facebook everyday so us humans could stay connected while away. Most recently, Seb needed medications administered and they were able to do that without an issue. We've also done the pack walk add-on which he seemed to enjoy going out to the trails for a change of pace during his boarding stay. One last comment is they do a REALLY good job with grooming nails. I don't know who is performing their grooming services, but his nails are perfectly dremeled every time he comes home from a full bath there. He has never tolerated the dremel with anyone else, professional groomers or otherwise!

We can't say enough good things. They know our dog by name even though he is not a frequent visitor for overnight boarding. The notes we receive about his stays are always so fun to read and they really pay attention to every detail. We also love the insta posts with all the dogs and getting to see pictures of him having fun. We won't trust anyone else with our dog.

Awesome facility and staff. My doggie flies out the car when we get there. He is so happy!!!! The place is clean and the staff is super friendly. I highly recommend Doggie Days for any pet parent.

See all

Ask the Community - Dog Days

Do you offer dog walking services? I live in PB and need someone to come twice a week in the afternoon to walk my dog while I'm at work.

Our services are add-ons to daycare or overnight boarding, so we won't be able to visit your pup for walks! We recommend checking out other local companies who specialize in that like Doggie Joggie.

Do you host dog birthday parties?

No, we do not provide that service, although it sounds super fun!

How long are the dogs outside for? I use to take my dogs to an indoor daycare facility and they got tired of the confinement.

Daycare is 100% outside! From 6:30am-7:30pm. Some dogs do get placed into the indoor/outdoor rooms where they can move freely in and out. And some dogs also have scheduled "naps" in our indoor kennels.

For the half-day boarding, as a new customer what is required of me? Would I have to stay there while my dog completes the behavior tests, how long is that? Are there discounts for half-day boarding if i purchase a grooming service for the same day?

All new customers are required to schedule and complete the Free First Day. We ask that you stay on the premises (please wait outside or in your car, covid precations!) during the initial introduction and once they are successfully introduced, we… 

My dog is a service dog in training. Is there a way not to have him in a play group or handled during a short day care stay?

It sounds like you are more interested in isolation or traditional kennel care. That's something that Dog Days does not offer at this time. While we do utilize kennels for isolation rest periods, individual feeding areas, time-outs, etc, our… 

Does your dog have to be "fixed" (i.e neutered) to be able to be boarded here? Our mini-dachshund still has his parts in tact. 😁

Hi Kelly! As our website states, we accept intact male dogs up to 12 months of age and intact female dogs as long as they are not in heat. Behavioral requirements must also be satisfied. Hope that helps!

For daycare, what is the earliest time in the morning you can drop off your dog?

Hi Megan! On weekdays our lobby opens from 7am to 7pm and on weekends from 8:30am to 5:30pm. You can make reservations to drop off for daycare at any time during our lobby operation hours, but for your Free First Day, we only make reservations…

I always used to ask friends to take care of my cat Miko when I would go away, but after a few…read moresketchy times when I wasn't sure if Miko was getting as much love and care as I wanted her to have, I decided to look elsewhere. When I found Paradise Pet Care, I was intrigued by the affordable costs, and the local caretakers. I signed up for a trip I was taking a few days later, and heard back quickly from Mira, letting me know that Steph would be contacting me to schedule a time to meet with me before I left. Steph was so nice and truly interested in all my cats habits and likes and dislikes. She even made sure she knew where the cat carrier was in case of an emergency. While I was on my trip, Steph would text me and send me pictures every time she went to visit, which truly put me at ease and allowed me to enjoy my vacation more. Even though my cat is very shy and does not easily come out and play with new people, Steph would still try and get me pictures and videos of whatever interaction she could get, just to let me know Miko was okay! Since then, I have used Paradise Pet Care numerous other times to come take care of Miko. They have always been prompt and never seem bothered by me checking in or asking questions. I would definitely recommend going with them to care for your cats!

I've been using Paradise Pet Care for a few years to sit for my cat when I traveling and they are…read moregreat! Highly recommend!! Always super accommodating with great communication regarding their visits. But the best part is how much they truly care about my elderly cat and have consistently gone above and beyond to make sure he is loved, comfortable, and healthy. I know that he is in wonderful hands when I am away from home and that is priceless.

Dog Days has been so great for our rescue puppy. It had been over 11 years since we had a puppy, so…read morewe forgot how much energy puppies have! We soon realized that our puppy needed more than just walks, training, and playtime at home with us. We were looking at other daycare locations, when our trainer recommended Dog Days to us. The first day at Dog Days is free and this is when they do a temperment test to ensure that your dog will do well with others. Surprisingly, our pup was pretty shy the first day, but he started to open up as the hours went by. He's now been there a few times and seems to be making friends and enjoying it. It definitely tires him out! Our pup will now be going regularly twice a week. At his last visit, we added on a bath and he came home smelling fresh and clean. We'll be trying out the boarding services as well. Tips: -They do sell daycare and boarding packages, so you can save money by purchasing those. -Reservations can be made online; however, they are not confirmed until they accept it (you will get an email confirmation). It typically does not take long for the reservation to be confirmed. My last reservations were accepted in minutes. -If you need to cancel a reservation, be sure to do so 24 hours in advance, or you will be charged a fee. -Currently there is only one customer allowed in the lobby at a time (masks on). Wait is never long though as it's pretty fast to drop off and pick up your dog. -If heading east on Garnet, I do recommend the Google directions and going the back way (by In-n-Out) so you can just make a right turn onto Garnet from Santa Fe and right into the Dog Days lot. -Follow Dog Days on Instagram and Facebook to see photos of the pups from the day!
