Pet Boarding & Daycare
San Francisco, CA
Bark to Basics has been San Francisco's premier small dog daycare since 2002, operating out of a home-based facility specifically designed for the unique needs of small breeds. Owner Shura Kelly and her Dog*Tec certified staff provide structured daily care that balances supervised play, training, nap time, and cuddle sessions in a home environment rather than a warehouse setting. They also offer overnight boarding and field trips to Montara, ensuring small dogs receive personalized attention with a high staff-to-dog ratio.
Ideal for: Small dog owners in San Francisco, busy professionals needing reliable daycare, owners of anxious or sensitive small breeds, puppies requiring training reinforcement
Service area: San Francisco, CA and surrounding areas
Home-Based Environment: Unlike warehouse-style facilities, Bark to Basics operates out of a residential home with a large secured backyard, providing a comfortable, intimate setting specifically designed for small dogs.
Certified Staff & Low Ratios: All staff are Dog*Tec trained and certified with a high staff-to-dog ratio, ensuring personalized supervision during play, training, and rest throughout the day.
Structured Routine: Daily schedule balances supervised play, positive reinforcement training, mandatory nap time, and lap time cuddles, designed to send dogs home happily tired rather than overstimulated.
