Dog Trainer Owned Daycare

Welcome to The Good Dogs, where fun meets structure and every pup learns to thrive! Owned and operated by a bilingual (English & Spanish) dog trainer with 6 years of training experience and 7 years of dog sitting, we proudly care for dogs of all breeds and sizes from tiny toy breeds to XL companions. Our daycare and boarding programs focus on structured pack play that’s safe, enriching, and full of learning. Dogs practice good manners daily including calm door entries, no jumping, no barking at neighbors, and polite play. Pack time is always supervised, and dog-on-dog bullying is never allowed; we manage and redirect behavior to maintain a positive group dynamic. For their safety and comfort, all dogs must be crate trained for nighttime rest. We welcome social dogs for group play and offer one-on-one time with sitters for dogs who prefer human company. However, for everyone’s safety, we cannot accommodate dogs with aggression toward humans. Add-on grooming services are available, including baths, blow dries, nail trims, and deshedding perfect for a clean, happy pup after a day of play. Photos and videos are shared regularly so you can see your dog enjoying their stay often daily or every other day. At The Good Dogs, we build well-mannered, confident, and joyful dogs, one tail wag at a time. 🐾

Schedule

I’m home full-time, so the dogs enjoy a consistent routine of structured pack play and calm rest periods to decompress. Rain or shine, we head outside for exercise and fun — which means a little mud is part of the adventure! Every day is balanced with play, structure, and relaxation to keep dogs happy, healthy, and well-mannered.

A typical day

Each day at The Good Dogs is filled with fun, learning, and structure! We play fetch, practice door manners, sit-stays, “place,” and coming when called — all while minding the sitter and enjoying safe, supervised time in the yard. Our focus is on creating a secure, engaging environment that’s mentally stimulating and tons of fun for every dog.

To give every dog the best and safest experience, I like to know about any allergies, medical conditions, behavioral concerns, or past experiences in a pack. Please also share details about your dog’s temperament — what they love, what makes them nervous, and anything else that helps me understand their unique personality and needs.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
