OUR STORY
ABOUT CHICO AND DUKE'S
A home away from home — run by a dog lover, for dog lovers
MEET MIKE
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!
WHAT WE STAND FOR
OUR APPROACH
NO CAGES, EVER
Every dog roams freely through open indoor and outdoor spaces. No kennels, no isolation — just a real home environment.
SMALL & PERSONAL
We keep our group intentionally small so every dog gets individual attention, not just a spot in a crowd.
DECADES OF EXPERIENCE
Mike has been a dog owner and trainer for decades. His calm, consistent approach keeps the pack happy and well-behaved.
YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD
We serve Calabasas, Hidden Hills, West Hills, and Woodland Hills — your dog stays close to home.
MEET CHICO & DUKE
Chico and Duke are Great Danes — big in size, bigger in heart. They set the tone for the whole daycare: gentle, playful, and welcoming to every dog that walks through the door. Whether your pup wants to run laps in the yard or curl up on the couch, Chico and Duke will make them feel right at home.
