Compare Doggie Day Care Near You
A good day care means your dog comes home tired and happy, not overstimulated or anxious. Pet Service Shop compares local day cares on price, supervision ratios, and real reviews from other pet parents — so you can find a spot that matches your dog's energy level and temperament.
What to look for in doggie day care
- Staff-to-dog supervision ratio — a lower ratio means closer attention, especially for puppies.
- Whether dogs are grouped by size or energy level for safer, more comfortable play.
- A built-in rest period — the best day cares enforce nap time so dogs aren't wired all evening.
- Indoor/outdoor space and climate control, especially important in extreme heat or cold.

Frequently asked questions
Is day care good for anxious or reactive dogs?
It depends on the dog and the facility. Look for day cares that group dogs by temperament and offer smaller, calmer groups — several providers on Pet Service Shop specialize in this. When in doubt, message the provider before booking.
How is day care priced?
Almost always per day. Some providers offer discounted multi-day packages if you need regular care during the work week — ask directly, since packages aren't always reflected in the listed base price.
Do I need to bring anything?
Most day cares provide food, water, and toys, but check the individual listing — some ask you to bring your dog's own food if they have dietary restrictions.
