Dog Daycare in Fairfield, CT
The Furry Inn provides dog daycare in Fairfield, CT families trust when they want cage-free, supervised care without driving across the county. Our boutique sits at 3486 Fairfield Avenue in Bridgeport’s Black Rock neighborhood — right on the Fairfield border — so drop-off fits real Fairfield schedules.
Why Fairfield Dog Owners Choose Cage-Free Daycare Nearby
Fairfield dog owners choose The Furry Inn because the address is minutes from the Fairfield town line on the Fairfield Avenue corridor, not a remote industrial kennel. You get boutique doggie daycare with supervised play, daily photo and video updates, and a team that treats every guest like family.
Many Fairfield owners compare big pet hotels and county-wide kennels before finding us. If you want the full picture of our daycare and kennel boarding across the county, visit our Fairfield County locations page.
We keep groups manageable, match playmates by size and temperament, and send updates to your phone during the day. Transparent pricing and no hidden fees for routine care mean you know what weekday dog daycare costs before you book.

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.
Your Dog's Daycare Day at a Glance

- Treats, toys, and one-on-one attention throughout the day

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.
Doggie Daycare Pricing for Fairfield Families
Doggie daycare pricing is a flat $45 per day. That rate covers cage-free supervised play, outdoor walks, treats, and daily photo and video updates. We do not add surprise fees for routine care.
For overnight rates — including boarding for dogs under 40 pounds and dogs over 40 pounds — check our pricing page before you book. Packages and availability can change around holidays, so call 203-981-4973 to confirm your dates.
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.

Pet Hotel–Style Boarding When Fairfield Trips Run Overnight
When Fairfield travel plans need more than weekday care, The Furry Inn offers overnight boarding in the same cage-free facility. Boarding guests join supervised play and walks by day and settle into comfortable, supervised rest at night.
Large dogs are welcome. If your dog is over 40 pounds, review our dog boarding over 40 pounds page for how we give bigger guests the space they need. Weekend boarding check-in and pick-up run Saturday and Sunday from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM.

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.
