Dog Daycare Facility

Dog daycares provide supervised play and socialization for dogs during workdays.

With remote work declining and 35% of dog owners using daycare, facilities generate revenue of $170,000-$580,000 with 50-65% margins.

The business requires commercial facility (3,000-10,000 sq ft), indoor and outdoor play areas, staff, cleaning systems, and liability insurance.

Services include full-day daycare, half-day options, small dog groups, puppy daycare, enrichment activities, and webcams for owners.

Pricing typically $25-$45 per day or $300-$600 monthly packages.

Success factors include safe play group management, adequate staffing ratios, cleaning and sanitation protocols, package memberships for recurring revenue, and convenient location for drop-off.

Most daycares add boarding.

Marketing focuses on local working professionals, Google ads, and social media.

With dogs needing activity and owners working in 2025, daycare offers playful opportunities requiring facility investment.
