Dog Boarding and Daycare In Richmond, CA

About Metro Dog

Metro Dog cares about your dog’s well-being. Our day care and boarding programs have been created to meet your dog’s physical, social and emotional needs at every stage of life.

We offer play groups designed for every size, type and age of dog from the active players to the mellow sun bathers. If group play is not the right fit for your dog, we also offer private care. We are a Green-Certified business located next to Pt. Isabel Regional Shoreline Park in Richmond, California.

Our handlers observe and interact with your dog and make adjustments to their day to meet their needs. Our programs have been ethically designed in alignment with LIMA principles (Least Intrusive Minimally Aversive). We do not use squirt bottles, shaker cans, or collar corrections to suppress unwanted behavior.

We treat your pup like a member of our own family!

Returning clients, if your dog has not attended in the last few months, please make a reservation for a full day of daycare so we can reassess your dog’s comfort, stress, and sociability levels. Success determines their eligibility. We will need updated vaccination records before they can attend . Drop-ins without reservations for returning clients may be turned away.

Please note: For the well-being of your dog and others, we cannot accept returning clients for boarding without multiple successful days of daycare prior to the board.

We were so nervous taking our border collie rescue to assess for boarding and day care, but the staff were so attentive and bonded with her. They noticed what helped her feel comfortable and made sure she felt at home.

We have boarded our pittie at Metro Dog for years. They always take such careful and loving care of him—we are very grateful!

Love Metro Dog- they take great care of our dog for both daycare and longer boarding stays. The staff are always prepped and ready to go as soon as we walk in, booking is seamless, and it’s easy to add walks, treats, or anything else we need to his stay. Our dog starts getting excited as soon as he can tell we’re close by, and sprints to the door every time- he loves Metro too!

Metro dog is amazing! Our dog Mochi recently joined and she loves it there. Friendly and professional staff, clean facility, and close attention to your dog's preference for play and sleeping arrangements.

My 10lb minpin mix loves Metrodog. She pulls hard on the leash to get in the door and when they open the gate she’ll run right in happy as can be. She gets good mix of play and down time. The staff are wonderful and clearly enjoy working with all the dogs. Five stars all the way.

Metro Dog is fantastic. I have been bringing my golden retriever here since he was 4 months old. He was a little shy at first, so they curated a small group of dogs that matched his energy level. He was so happy. He graduated to the big dog group and lives every minute of his time there! The staff is great and you can tell they all really have a live of dogs!

Metro Dog is well organized and very caring. My dog has been going since he was a puppy and is now 4. He loves the handlers — everyone is so positive, and they really know him personally. He loves snack time and individual play time the most. They also bathe and cut his nails for which I am very grateful because I’m not skilled at grooming. Lately they have added fun activities like nose work and agility, so he gets to try out new things.

Metro Dog is a first-rate social day care and boarding facility in the Richmond/El Cerrito Area. The long-term staff is very well educated in dog behavior, attentive to the differing personalities of the dogs, and innovative in the extra services they offer. I have a "special" and sometimes sensitive fellow, and he does beautifully there.

Metro dog is wonderful my dog can’t wait to get out of the car and run into the front door yesterday. When I picked her up she had been swimming. They also do a training for of course extra. They were working on recall with her and she was so happy and tired. I can’t believe how fortunate we are that we found you.
