These are currently published rates. Packages, memberships, additional-dog pricing, evaluations, and peak-period charges can make the effective daily price different.

Fon Jon Pet Care

Fon Jon currently publishes group-play daycare at $30 for a half day of five hours or less and $40 for a full day. Those posted prices include the company’s stated 3.5% cash/check discount.

The facility also offers private-play daycare. Current private-play prices are $36 for a half day and $46.58 for a full day, with multi-day and monthly packages available for both formats.

Fon Jon publishes eligibility policies for group play and notes that private daycare is available for dogs using a different care format. The facility also states its own vaccination and intake requirements; treat those as business policies rather than general dog-care advice.

See the official Fon Jon dog daycare page for current rates and requirements.

Camp Run-A-Mutt Point Loma

Camp Run-A-Mutt Point Loma currently charges $52 for a single full day and $39 for a half day. The business defines a half day as six hours or less.

Published multi-day packages reduce the per-day cost. Current options include 5-, 10-, and 20-day packages plus monthly unlimited plans for both full- and half-day attendance.

The location currently lists weekday daycare hours of 6:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday hours of 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Check the official Camp Run-A-Mutt Point Loma page for the latest schedule and package prices.

Paw Commons Bay Park

Paw Commons Bay Park currently publishes a $54 single full-day daycare rate and a $41 half-day rate. A full day is five hours or more, while a half day is up to five hours.

The Bay Park facility uses supervised indoor group play with separate areas for different groups and requires its stated Day Play Evaluation before a dog joins group daycare. Paw Commons also offers a private Day Boarding option for dogs using an individual-care format rather than group play.

Current regular business hours are Monday through Friday from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 7 p.m. The location is at 1136 Morena Boulevard.

See the official Paw Commons Bay Park daycare page for current packages, evaluation policies, and membership options.

Dog Days San Diego

Dog Days currently lists single-day daycare at $57 for a full day and $40 for a half day. A full day is more than five hours, while a half day is up to five hours.

The business also publishes 4-, 8-, and 12-day packages and monthly memberships. Reservations are required for single-day daycare and most package or membership use.

First-time dogs must complete the business’s Evaluation Day or Retest Day before joining daycare. Dog Days also applies published surge fees during specified peak dates.

Check the official Dog Days San Diego daycare page for current rates and policies.

Down to Earth Dogs

Down to Earth Dogs currently lists dog daycare at $60 per day Monday through Friday. Its program emphasizes smaller, matched playgroups rather than a large open daycare format.

The business uses an initial meet-and-greet and trial process to determine whether its format is appropriate for a dog. Current operating hours vary by weekday, so confirm your drop-off and pickup plan directly with the business.

See the official Down to Earth Dogs services page for current daycare pricing and program details.

Full-Day vs. Half-Day Dog Daycare

Half-day rules are not standardized across San Diego facilities. Fon Jon uses five hours or less, Paw Commons uses up to five hours, and Camp Run-A-Mutt Point Loma defines a half day as six hours or less. Compare the time definition—not only the price—if you need care for part of the day.

Daycare Evaluations and Business Requirements

Many group-play daycares require an evaluation before a first regular visit. Businesses may also publish requirements involving age, group-play compatibility, spay/neuter status, or proof of vaccinations. These are individual facility policies, and they differ by provider.

Complete any required evaluation before you need daycare for a fixed date, especially around holiday periods when reservations may fill quickly.

Daycare Packages and Memberships

If daycare will be a recurring service, packages can lower the effective price per day. Before buying one, compare expiration periods, reservation requirements, cancellation rules, and whether unused days carry over. The lowest advertised per-day figure may require a monthly commitment or prepaid package.

Daycare, Boarding, and Grooming

If you need overnight care rather than daytime supervision, compare Dog Boarding in San Diego. Several boarding facilities include daycare-style play in the overnight rate, while others offer it as a package choice.
