A day at small-dog daycare in Marina del Rey
Kennel-free, cozy beds, tree-lined walks, and a small pack. What a real day looks like at a home-based small-dog daycare.
A home, not a facility
This is a home-based daycare, which means your dog spends the day in a house, not a kennel. There are no crates and no runs. There are cozy beds, room to move, and a small group of dogs who all know each other.
Morning
Dogs arrive and settle in. Because the pack is small, a new dog is not thrown into chaos. They get a minute to find a spot and a face they recognize. Mornings are usually the calmest part, before the play builds.
The day
Supervised play, rest breaks, and personal attention are the core of it. I am in the room. I am not watching a camera from an office. When a dog needs a break, they get one. When someone wants a lap, there is a lap.
Walks
We walk in the tree-lined neighborhood around Marina del Rey. The walks are part of the day, not a bonus. A tired, walked dog is a calm dog for the rest of the afternoon.
Who is here
Every dog is under 25 pounds and has passed a meet-and-greet. That is why the group stays gentle. See why the 25-pound limit matters.
The point
The goal is not to pack in as many dogs as possible. The goal is a small group your dog can actually relax in. If that is what you are looking for, look at the services and book a meet-and-greet.
