ABOUT US

Meet Mike, a semi-retired dog lover with a home in Woodland Hills West — near the Burbank entrance to Hidden Hills. His two Great Danes, Chico and Duke, are the gentlest of giants, get along with all dogs and love company and play dates. They play with dogs who want to play, respect other dogs' boundaries and are super gentle and accommodating to all, taking extra care with small breeds.

In 2024, Mike, Chico and Duke started a doggy daycare for select neighbors with dogs in need of a comfortable second home. Whether for a few hours or a few weeks, we believe in providing a playful and safe environment — no cages, kennels or isolation. We know that your dog will love it!

Mike and his pups Chico and Duke are the BEST. My dog is obsessed with going to daycare and I always feel comfortable and safe leaving her there, whether it's for a few hours to play and socialize or for an overnight. Mike is super communicative, available last minute if I need, flexible with my schedule and an excellent dog trainer - so I know my dog will be cared for and protected whether out at the park with Mike or at home!

We left our dog Django at Mike's place for 10 days when we were on vacation out of the country, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. Mike went above and beyond to give us total piece of mind: he sends us regular updates with photos and videos so we could see how much fun Django was having. He came hope happy, healthy and clearly loved his time there. Highly recommend Mike, Chico and Duke!

I've been taking my 16 month-old poodle puppy Randall to Chico and Dukes for several months, both for daily care and for overnight boarding. Mike is ideal: communicative, responsible, thoughtful. He and the Danes go out of their way to provide a loving home and active environment for Randall, who is always eager to leap out of our car to bound up their driveway. Randall is better socialized to other dogs and just plain happy when he comes home.

We are so grateful to have found Chico and Duke's Doggy Day Care!! The owner, Mike, is incredibly down to earth, reliable, and professional. He always gets back to me very quickly. His moto is "a place that feels like home" and it's exactly that, it's our dog's second home. He offers a variety of services to suit everyone's needs and he is very flexible and works with you. We have been bringing our now 4 month old terrier mix to Mike's for a month and we couldn't be happier— our dog couldn't be happier! She is always so excited to go inside and see all her dog friends and Mike. Thank you so much, Mike!!

FANTASTIC PLACE!! I have never seen my Drago happier, it's as if he enters doggy heaven when he is here. Fifteen minutes in and Drago was golden. He gets so much love and play…evening zoom zooms are now rare. I take my pup with me everywhere and this is one of the very few spaces I feel absolutely comfortable leaving him. Not to mention his social skills have improved substantially. The proprietor of this doggy heaven works diligently to build a loving relationship with each dog and it is demonstrated in their delightful behavior upon pickup. If possible I would give TEN stars!
