Best Dog Day Care San Diego Near Me

4worldlovers: At Dog Days, we are staffed 24 hours and your dog will experience constant care and supervision from loving, skilled, and experienced handlers. Our team is knowledgeable and passionate in teaching dogs how to “dog” in an interactive and 100% engaged way. This is not a place to mindlessly run around, we are focused on direct and appropriate social interactions while reinforcing excellent manners!

Why are so many of our clients under 3 years of age? Because during this time, dogs are learning their manners (some at a slower pace than others!) and experiencing a huge surge in growth that has them curious about life with hyperactive energy to spare. Give them a structured environment, like-minded peers, and supervision from loving handlers to burn that energy in a constructive way. Enjoy coming home to a dog tired from physical exertion, but also happily fulfilled from hours of mental and social exercise!

Interpreting canine behavior for dog owners is an integral part of our customer service and we love to help you puzzle out what makes your dog tick! You may be surprised to hear about aspects of your dog’s personality that might not have blossomed until they were in a structured pack environment. Seeing our clients reach their full potential and form lasting bonds with their packmates and handlers is an incredible part of the daycare experience that we love to share with owners!

When your dog is healthy and feeling great, we can tell. Our entire business is based on dogs that are happy and healthy, which is why we examine every single dog in our care daily during our Wellness Checks. Poor health from food intolerances, environmental allergies, obesity, overgrown nails, dental disease, and more, will affect your dog’s ability to enjoy daycare to the fullest and may even affect their personality. That’s why we take a holistic approach to the care of our dogs, with nutritional counseling, grooming recommendations, and just being a second set of eyes to help puppy parents, especially the first timers, keep their dogs feeling their best!

4worldlovers: The award-winning Camp Run-A-Mutt is the premier cage-free dog daycare and boarding paradise! Our camp consists of beautiful indoor and outdoor play areas (see for yourself on our Muttcams), which are fun, safe and supervised 24/7. Camp Run-A-Mutt Point Loma features over 11,000 square feet for your dog to romp, play and socialize to their heart’s content! Watch your camper online as they run on the spacious grassy area, cool off in the custom water feature, relax on dog-friendly furniture or under the shade sails on a hot day (or in our temperature-controlled indoor play areas during inclement weather).

It’s more than just the amenities that make us unique. Camp Run-A-Mutt is also 100% cage-free for both daycare and overnight boarding. Your dog will receive exceptional care by our attentive staff, who are trained to be familiar with dog behavior and certified in dog CPR and first aid. Overnight Campers enjoy the security of a caring human in the same room while they snooze. Our goal is to make boarding fun by minimizing the stress and anxiety some dogs experience when they are away from home. “Pack boarding” instead of cages, human love instead of being alone, it’s a no brainer.

We also offer dog washing, grooming, a boutique, obedience training and surprises you’ll find only at Camp Run-A-Mutt. Your pup will love it, and so will you.

Our dogs are not our parents’ dogs. Dogs used to have at least one parent at home to care, exercise, and pamper them. Today’s dogs have both parents working, or one parent working long hours or multiple jobs. Whether or not this is the case, there is less time to give our dogs what they need. Daycare, especially cage free daycare, fills this need.

Exercise – Obviously, dogs need to run, play, splash, and just be a dog. Large outside spaces with paw friendly synthetic turf, splash pond, sunshine and friends will wear them out!

Socialization – Dogs are, by nature, social creatures. Having dog and human friends makes them a better-rounded and happier pet.

Mental stimulation – Even if your pup just likes to sit and watch, there are plenty of places to rest and watch the shenanigans to keep them mentally active.

Potty training – Allowing dogs to play and potty outside enforces the training they learned early on.

Guilt – Say good-bye to the look your dog gives when you are too tired or busy to take them for a walk or dog park.

4worldlovers: Jen Klair started Wags & Ruffs in 2018 with one goal in mind - creating a safe & fun place for dogs when they are away from home. She has a life-long love of animals and had a successful pet sitting business for many years when she lived in Tahoe with her husband and family. After running an online retail business for over 15 years, she wanted to return to working with animals and founded Wags & Ruffs in 2018.

At Wags & Ruffs, we love dogs and believe they should be treated like members of the family (yours and ours). While your dog(s) are with us, they will be supervised and loved as one of our own. All of our dog attendants have been trained in dog safety. All Wags & Ruffs staff have a deep love for dogs and are skilled in pack management. Take a look at our Prices page to see all of the extras we offer and don't forget to follow us on Instagram and Facebook - and download our app.

We take fun seriously - and safety is always our number one concern. All dogs get a FREE initial half day visit for a temperament test where we will introduce him/her to our dog groups that are always supervised by one of our dog attendants. We cannot allow any dogs to join the Wags & Ruffs group play who are aggressive to dogs or people.
