Structured Small Dog Daycare Serving San Francisco, the Peninsula & the Coastside
Wiggling Tails is an enrollment-based small dog daycare program designed for families who value structure, stability, and thoughtful care.
We specialize exclusively in dogs 45 lbs. and under, providing a consistent outdoor ranch environment where small dogs can move freely, socialize appropriately, and develop within a stable community.
This is not a drop-in facility.
It is a structured program built on familiarity, supervision, and long-term relationships.
Small Dog Daycare
Our daycare operates within a managed outdoor ranch setting where dogs attend on a consistent schedule. This allows them to fully acclimate to caregivers, routines, and their canine companions.
Each day follows the principles of our Holistic, Structured Care approach, balancing movement, enrichment, guided social interaction, and structured rest to support both physical and emotional development.
Learn more about our Holistic, Structured Care model
Dogs are thoughtfully divided into smaller and larger play groups based on size, temperament, and activity level to ensure appropriate social dynamics and safe physical engagement.
The result is not simply a tired dog, but a more balanced, confident one.
Enrollment-Based Model
Wiggling Tails operates on a minimum commitment of two days per week.
This consistency is foundational to our care model. Dogs who attend regularly settle into predictable routines, build trust with caregivers, and form stable social relationships.
We do not offer drop-in services. Stability and familiarity are essential to maintaining the integrity of our small dog community.
All dogs complete a temperament evaluation prior to enrollment to ensure compatibility and preserve group balance.
Continued Care for Enrolled Families
Limited overnight care/dog boarding is available exclusively to enrolled daycare families.
Because dogs are already acclimated to our routines and caregivers, extended stays remain consistent and low-stress. Availability is intentionally limited to protect the quality and stability of our program.
Is Wiggling Tails the Right Fit?
Our program is designed for small dogs who benefit from structure, engagement, and a consistent community.
