Cage-Free Supervised Play — Not Kennel Confinement

Cage-free dog daycare means your dog spends the day in supervised group play instead of sitting in a kennel run. Playgroups are built around size, age, energy, and temperament — including calmer space for smaller or senior dogs and room for larger, active dogs to move.

That supervised play model is why Fairfield parents comparing a pet hotel to a true daycare program land with us. Daytime care is about socialization, walks, rest, and attention — not confinement until pickup.

What a Day of Doggie Daycare Looks Like

A typical day of doggie daycare runs Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 7:00 PM. Fairfield and Fairfield County commuters can drop off before work and pick up on the way home without rushing a short commercial window.

Your dog enjoys matched play sessions, outdoor walks, rest breaks, treats, toys, and one-on-one attention. Between activities we send photo and video updates so you can see supervised play as it happens. For the full Bridgeport daycare routine, also see our dog daycare page.

Puppy Daycare and Gentle Starts for Anxious Dogs

Puppy daycare is available once vaccinations are current and your puppy is ready for gentle, supervised introductions. We do not throw a new puppy into an oversized pack. Instead we use calm companions, short sessions if needed, and positive reinforcement so puppy daycare feels safe.

Shy or anxious dogs get the same patience. Many Fairfield owners switch to our boutique setting after a larger facility felt overwhelming. Tell us about your dog’s history when you call so we can plan the first day thoughtfully.

What Your Dog Needs Before the First Day

Daycare vaccination checklist

Before the first daycare day, have Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella vaccinations up to date, plus a negative fecal test from the past 12 months. Daycare does not require a pre-visit — records and a quick introduction on arrival are enough to place your dog in the right group.

  • Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella vaccinations current
  • Negative fecal test within the past 12 months
  • Call or text 203-981-4973 to book the first daycare day

Free evaluation before overnight boarding

If you also want overnight boarding, schedule a free orientation / temperament evaluation first. The visit usually takes about 30 to 45 minutes and helps us learn your dog before any overnight stay.

Many Fairfield clients use daycare a few days a week to break up long workdays, keep high-energy dogs exercised, and give younger dogs steady socialization. Others start with occasional daycare days so their dog already knows our team and routine before the first overnight stay. Either way, your dog gets the same cage-free, supervised care, daily photo updates, and a team that learns their personality, so every visit to The Furry Inn feels familiar and relaxed.
