    Absolutely recommend Dog Den for both daycare and grooming! The staff are friendly, professional, and genuinely care about the dogs. My dog always comes home happy, clean, and well taken care of. The facility is clean and welcoming, and I really appreciate the attention and care they give to every pup. Definitely one of the best places around!

    The owner was very nice and welcoming. The staff provide a tour and show how the babies are well taken care of. Their care is very thoughtful. They have a refrigerator to store the wet dog food. Cameras for check-ins. Provide pre-assessment boarding to ensure the babies are comfortable. Provide outside time for exercise. You can tell they mean well and it's not just a business.

    Such a clean and well-organized pet facility! The grooming turned out great, and I loved seeing the separate play areas for large and small dogs. You can tell the staff genuinely love and care for the pets.

    Wonderful pet daycare with loving staff and a clean environment. My dog enjoys every visit and is always well cared for.

    The best money I've spent since moving to Irvine! Ever since I got my dog, I've been nervous about traveling. Then last week, while I was walking my dog and chatting with my American neighbor, she told me about a pet boarding place in Orange that locals really love. I originally went just to try it out, but the experience turned out to be much better than I expected. They offer both daycare and multi-day boarding. What really touched me was that the staff genuinely knew each dog well. They could call the dogs by name, observe their personalities, and spend time playing with them. When we were leaving, my dog kept looking back, and it honestly felt like he had so much fun that he didn't want to leave. The space was also much bigger than I imagined. I heard it's over 10,000 square feet, with both indoor and outdoor play areas. Everything felt bright, clean, and spacious.

    My family and I recently went on vacation, and we had complete peace of mind knowing our dog, Daisy, was being so well cared for at Dog Den. We received daily updates, photos, and videos, and loved being able to check in on her through the live cameras in the play area. It was clear that Daisy was happy, safe, and receiving excellent care. We will definitely be boarding her at Dog Den again for future trips. Thank you, Dog Den, for taking such great care of our girl!

    I bring my girls here for day camp and as well for boarding and they love it. Daniel and his team are attentive and take great care while I'm away. They also send pictures daily to let me see how they are doing during their stay. I highly recommend Dog Den, off La Palma x from Kaiser.

    Best place ever. Ricco loves spending time here. It is clean, they have a lot of area to play and the staff are wonderful

    Dog Den is absolutely amazing! My Corgi, Aster, LOVES this place, and we truly wouldn't be able to travel without them. The staff is incredibly caring and treats him like one of their own. One of the things we appreciate most is the ability to check in on him through their on-site video cameras it gives us so much peace of mind knowing he's happy, safe, and having a great time. Aster always comes home tired, content, and excited for his next visit. We couldn't recommend Dog Den more!

    Have a great time with new friends

    The care for my first time boarding my dog was amazing here they really do care for dogs and it shows will be coming back

    Great spot, dog loved staying here--lots of space, comfort, and a really welcoming vibe.

    We tried Dog Den for the first time a few weeks ago. My dog has been to boarding/daycare once before while we were away and she was intimidated by the large number of dogs. In the photos we received at the prior facility she looked sad. This time around at Dog Den she appeared to be smiling and had her tail up. There were other dogs to interact with but it was not an overwhelming amount for her. I love that we could watch her in the playroom and in her kennel. Also a plus they have an outdoor area which most facilities lack. I felt confident she was in good hands and we will definitely use Dog Den for all our future needs.

    How much per day for 1 dog?

    Will you still let the dogs out on the turf under hot sun?

    Great question! We closely monitor the temperature of our outdoor play areas, and most of the space is naturally shaded by the building. On days when temperatures rise too high—or when the grass becomes too warm for safe play—we move all dogs to our… 

    Hi, I have an 11 year old 14 pound Jack Russell Terrier I'm interested in boarding for the day. Are the dogs kept separate?she's friendly with people but gets nervous around dogs, especially larger ones as she had a bad experience when she was a pup?

    They have 3 areas for dogs and around 80 cool kennels where they can Rest . The areas are for 1 large dogs 2 medium size dogs and 3 little dogs . You can go there and talk to them about your preferences

    Hello, do they send pictures even if dog is just there for day care?

    Yes! Pictures are sent via email at least once in the morning and once in the afternoon.

    Do you board pets for an extended time? I will need at least a 10-11 day boarding for my 26 lb. baby. And during the weekends when you are closed for grooming are they looked after during days and nights. Do you have a vet on call for emergencies?

    Yes, 10 - 11 days is not a problem. Some of our pet parents boarding their dogs for 30+ days at a time. We are still there over the weekend throughout the day to take care of boarding pets but we are only open couple hours in the morning and… 

    Does Dog Den board rescue dogs? I volunteer for Labrador and Friends Rescue and we are searching for a new facility to board our dogs

    Yes! We work with rescues and offer them discounted boarding rates. Give us a call at 714-948-5818 and we can provide the details!

    How far is this facility from Disneyland?

    20-25 min on average.

    How much for overnight boarding?

    52$ but includes all day play

Because of Remi's advanced age, her vet did not recommend boarding her. Since Remi receives sub-Q fluids twice a week and daily medication, we didn't know what we were going to do. Our vet recommended Chrystel and gave us her business card. From the moment I text her, Chrystel was professional and courteous and asked all the right questions I would expect from a professional. When she came over for the meet & greet and to go over everything we & Remi needed, we knew immediately we were leaving our fragile kitty in the right hands. We received a professional contract clearly listing what services Chrystel would be providing and subsequent cost. With each visit we received a text with the time window of when she would be arriving at our house. She would then text pictures and a status update of how Remi was doing. Chrystel's veterinary medical background & experience makes her an invaluable asset to anyone who needs help with their pets.

It is easy to book your stays through the app and everything has ran smoothly for my experience so far. They require all records prior to your first stay to make sure the dogs are up to date on vaccinations, etc. There are also a number of enrichments offered at an extra cost to entertain your pup, and on certain days of the week they have specialty enrichments. On my pup's last stay we ordered a pup cup and I did not expect to receive pictures in email of her enjoying it. That made my day. There are always cameras available to check in on your doggy to make you feel at ease. My pup is always excited and always playing during her stays and she is excited to go in when we arrive, she isn't even worried about me heading off and she's still happy when we come back for her. Then there is the additional perk of your pup being wiped out for a nice portion of the day when you return. Thank you Camp Bow Wow and especially for having staff around at all times, and for making it possible to take trips with ease knowing our pup will be taken care of.

Shortly after her last stay in March 2026, she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of nasal carcinoma. She recently went to doggie heaven. Thinking that CBW would care to know, I informed them via e-mail. It has been two weeks and no acknowledgement. No "sorry to hear about Scout." No "sorry for your loss." Nothing but silence. Scout loved going to CBW and could not greet the counselors quickly enough. I thought they considered Scout a part of the family. A couple of counselors, Azelynn and Justin, knew Scout her entire life. I guess I was expecting too much. At the end, Scout was just a dollar sign.

Had to be put in time out multiple times. I was constantly watching on the cameras and he was playing with other dogs but something about it bothered the staff. Nothing out of the ordinary from when he is with his friends at the dog parks or at his other daycares. I chalked up t up to the staff being inexperienced and new. But, also not the right fit for us. I know people who have had a similar experience there as well. Now today this happened and why I am posting so late after I went there. I would definitely be nervous taking my dog there. Just wanted people to know if you had a dog staying at Smart Parke in Brea today 8/16/26 a dog got out and was running in the middle of the street on Birch . Luckily the cars all seen it and stopped. The dog got all the way to the apartments close to State College where a woman walking her dog was able to hold it. The Smart Parke employee then was able leash the dog safely. If it was my dog I would want to know. Hopefully they told the owners. It was a medium sized short hair brown dog.
