Built for safety, designed for fun
Our Approach About the Ranch Rascal Perks Is it right for my dog?
OUR APPROACH
We aim to be different
Traditional doggy daycares are loud, concrete-floor warehouses that group random dogs together. At Rascal Ranch, we carefully place member-only Rascals (no drop-ins!) based on their personality into specific packs and dedicated playgrounds.
Our five-acre outdoor play land provides plenty of fun in the sun to tire your Rascal out — all with free pick up and drop-off, right to your doorstep.
When it comes to doggy daycare, we believe our 20 years of experience have taught us to be the best.
More than a walk
Sure, traditional dog walkers can get your dog outside for exercise — but on a leash. We offer acres of outdoor freedom for your Rascal.
Safer than a dog park
All Rascals are members-only and specially placed into packs — which means safe interactions and low stress playing, every time.
Better than a warehouse
Doggy daycares in the city can’t offer the space, familiarity, or fresh air of Rascal Ranch! There is simply no comparison to our outdoor fun.

RASCAL PERKS
Spoiled? Yup — you and your Rascal!
In the (Pooch) Loop
We send notifications once your Rascal is in transport or dropped off for the day. Our online Members Portal makes doggy daycare easy!
It’s Always a Pawty
From celebrating birthdays to Howl’oween and tacky Christmas sweater parties — we like to have fun (and we have pictures to prove it)!
Plenty of Play Time
Dogs crave stimulation! Our custom playgrounds were designed to test Rascals’ mental and physical agility (and tire them out).
Part of the Pack
We carefully match your dog’s personality to fit in with the right pack. Energetic or a snoozer? We’ve got just the spot for your Rascal to make fur-riends.
IS IT RIGHT FOR MY DOG?
Approved by owners, loved by dogs
Our ranch has safe spaces for Rascals of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. From recycled tire playgrounds to the best shaded spots to take a nap, we know what makes Rascals’ tails wag.
The Pipsqueak: Is your dog a true “little” Rascal? Our custom playground for the small fries lets them take on fur-riends their own size!
The Silver Fox: At the Ranch, our senior Rascals enjoy soft grass to roam around on (which is much easier on the joints) and cooler coastal temperatures.
The Lounger: Some Rascals love to watch the action from one of our Kuranda beds while enjoying a sunny afternoon away from home.
The Snuggler: Does your Rascal prefer people to pooches? Count on our team to provide endless hugs and love (it’s part of the job description).
The Party Animal: The social butterflies of the group, these Rascals are always in the center of play and love our custom playground and agility courses!
The Introvert: Shy guy? No problem. Our five open acres allow your Rascal to roam and interact when they’re ready.

Rascal since 2019
“This is the most incredible doggie daycare out there!! Vicky and her team do an incredible job taking our dogs out to frolic in large, open (but fenced) fields. They send pictures of the dogs and also do a little Christmas picture collage and doggie gift bag during the holidays that is ADORABLE. They truly pay attention to the details with our dogs and this attentiveness is what sets this daycare apart from others. We had a pretty bad experience with a doggie daycare on the Peninsula prior to Little Rascals and could not be more grateful for Vicky and her staff's services to save the day!”

“Vicki's Little Rascals is really an exceptional service. We initially discovered Vicki's while looking for a dog walker, as our dog was pretty young and we felt awful that he was cooped up all day while we were at work. Vicki worked with us every step of the way to make sure that we were comfortable with every part of her service, including personalized pickup and drop-off routines. We were constantly reassured about how well he was being treated, as occasionally we'd still be home when he was being picked up or dropped off, and it was clear that he had a great relationship with his primary Wrangler. The team consistently uploads lots of pictures and videos of every dog while they're on the ranch, so helicopter parents like myself are satisfied with knowing what their angels are up to.”
