Welcome to Rascal Ranch!
California’s best doggy daycare — built for safety, designed for fun!
Our exclusive five-acre retreat offers the most unique doggy daycare experience on the Peninsula with pick up, play, and drop-off pet services for the Greater San Mateo area. Let your Rascal play, roam, and relax, and rest assured our team of dog lovers will treat your dog as their own!
Life is better as a Rascal
Our 20 years of doggy daycare experience have taught us a lot about canine and human needs. From the importance of fresh air to the convenience of pick up & drop off, we’re here to help.
Outdoor Fun
If your dog is cooped up at home, why send them to an indoor, cement warehouse? Rascal Ranch offers five acres of safe, enclosed outdoor fun.
Convenience is Key
From free pickup and drop-off to managing your membership through our online Members Portal, we know how to make doggy daycare easy for you.
Consistent Playtime
We believe in routine! Rascals commit to at least three days at the Ranch weekly, which helps them bond as a pack with fellow Rascals as well as our team.
Our Golden Standard
It all started with one Rascal, Vicki’s beloved Golden Retriever, Henry. Our 20 years of experience centers on providing the care she would want for Henry.
Five star service, guaranteed
We proudly provide the most trustworthy and professional doggy daycare service on the Peninsula.
Dasher
Rascal since 2019
“We feel so incredibly lucky to have found Dasher such an outstanding way to get some exercise, interact with other dogs, and generally live a dog's best life. We definitely feel like we found the absolute best dog walking and daycare service that's possible to find.”

Cinnamon
Rascal since 2020
“We LOVE Rascal Ranch. It is the absolute best dog day care in existence. They put a huge emphasis on safety which provides great peace of mind during the day. Our crazy, rambunctious Vizsla is actually tired when she gets home every day. Vicki and her team are incredibly professional, the pick up/drop-off is seamless, and they're very helpful if I ever need to cancel or recheck any Ranch day.”
— Cinnamon’s parents
Bastion
Rascal since 2012
“Everything from pick up, to play time, and drop off — Vicki is thinking about each dog and their behavior and planning accordingly. It is a real comfort to me to know that my dog gets to spend his time there playing outdoors and running free, rather than being inside some warehouse and getting shuttled from kennel to kennel for the day. Seeing my dog's butt wiggle every time I tell him ‘It's a Vicki day!’ is all the proof I need of a job well done out at the Rascal Ranch!”
— Bastion’s mom
