Enriching Dog Daycare Near Little Silver, NJ
Five acres. Open play yards. A team that actually knows your dog. That’s the difference at Dogs on the Farm & Cats Too, and it’s why so many Little Silver, NJ pet parents skip the traditional daycare model altogether. Instead of cramped indoor runs, dogs get real room to roam, real enrichment, and real attention, every single visit.
No two dogs play the same way, so we don’t run daycare that way either. Whether your dog is happiest in a group or needs more one-on-one time, we build the day around them — plenty of space, plenty to explore, plenty to keep their mind busy. They’ll head home tired, happy, and ready for round two.
Rates start at $39.95 per day. Planning an overnight trip instead? Take a look at our dog boarding near Little Silver, NJ.
Get Started!
Two decades-plus of family ownership taught us one thing above all: Little Silver dog owners want a straight answer about their pet’s day, not a form letter. That’s the standard we hold ourselves to — real updates, a genuinely secure setup, and a team that treats your dog like part of the family, not a kennel number. Little Silver sits alongside a wider circle of Monmouth County towns we’re proud to serve, including Red Bank, Fair Haven, Rumson, Shrewsbury, and Holmdel.

What Makes Our Little Silver, NJ Dog Daycare Different?
Ordinary daycare wasn’t the goal when we built this place — dogs here get real acreage, real enrichment, and a team that’s paying attention, not just watching the clock. Here’s what sets our dog daycare near Little Silver, NJ apart:
Family-Owned Since 2002 — More than two decades in, we’re still a family-run operation, and that shows in how every dog is treated — with the same care and attention we’d want for a dog of our own.
A Genuine Working Farm — Goats, mini horses, chickens, and other farm animals share the fence line with our play yards, giving dogs an enriching backdrop no conventional daycare can offer.
9,000 Square Feet of Secure Outdoor Play — Our fenced outdoor yards give dogs plenty of room to run and socialize, with dog-friendly turf that stays cleaner underfoot and comfortable for a full day of play.
A Converted Indoor Pavilion — What was once a 7,000-square-foot horse riding arena is now a climate-controlled indoor play space, so weather never puts a pause on the fun.
Custom In-Ground Pools — Water-loving dogs can cool off in our pools, complete with waterfalls and resort-style landscaping that make summer days even better.
Daycare Built Around Every Personality — From lively group play to quieter one-on-one sessions, we tailor the day to match your dog’s temperament, not the other way around.
Parties, Holidays & Seasonal Fun — Birthdays, holidays, and themed play days give us regular excuses to make an ordinary visit feel a little more special.
A Convenient Drive from Little Silver — Our farm feels worlds away from daily life, yet Little Silver, Red Bank, Rumson, Fair Haven, and the rest of Monmouth County are just a short drive away.
