Toronto has 67 dog daycares spread across the city and into Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, and Markham. Prices range from $31 per day in Scarborough to $72 in Forest Hill. Most sit between $45 and $55.
The single biggest difference between facilities is whether they separate dogs by size. About 20 of the 67 daycares split dogs into groups by weight or energy level. The rest run one mixed playroom. If your dog is under 25 lbs, this matters. A 12-lb dachshund in an open room with a pack of 70-lb goldens is not having fun.
Beyond that, the things worth comparing: webcams (25 daycares have them), outdoor space (37 have a yard or park access), grooming on-site (52 offer it), and shuttle pickup (21 will come get your dog). Weekend hours are another filter: 47 are open Saturdays, but only 22 open Sundays.
Every daycare below was priced by our team in August 2026. We called, checked websites, and confirmed walk-in rates. If a place quotes you a different number, let us know.

The median full-day rate across all 67 daycares is $51. The cheapest is Parker Pet Care in North York and Scarborough at $31 per day. The most expensive is Camp Canine in Forest Hill at $72. Downtown Toronto daycares (Liberty Village, King West, Spadina) average around $55. Suburban locations in Mississauga, Brampton, and Markham tend to run $48 to $52.
Half days are typically 70 to 75% of the full rate. Most places cap them at four or five hours. If you only need three hours, a few daycares (Park9, Dog World) offer a mini-day option for $27 to $36.
The real savings come from multi-day packages. 32 daycares sell a 10-day pack, and the median per-day rate drops to $45. 24 sell 20-day packs, where the median hits $42 per day. Packages usually expire in three to six months, so only buy one if you will actually use it. For more on the full picture, see our breakdown of how much it costs to own a dog in Toronto.

What's the staff-to-dog ratio?
Under 1:10 is good. Under 1:6 is excellent. Ask if the number changes during peak hours.
How do you handle reactive dogs?
Look for a clear protocol: separate introduction, timeout space, and willingness to turn dogs away.
What happens if my dog gets sick?
They should have a vet relationship and a plan. Ask if they'll call you first or act first.
Is there outdoor time?
Some facilities are indoor-only. If your dog needs fresh air, confirm there's a yard or scheduled walks.
Do you require a temperament assessment?
Most good daycares do. It protects your dog and theirs. Be wary of places that skip it.
What does a typical day look like?
Structured play, rest periods, and feeding times matter. A daycare with no quiet time is exhausting for most dogs.
Almost every daycare in Toronto requires a temperament assessment before your dog's first real day. Some charge $15 to $30 for this. Others include it free. It usually takes 30 to 60 minutes. The staff will watch how your dog reacts to other dogs, loud noises, and being handled by strangers.
Bring your dog's vaccination records (rabies, bordetella, DHPP). Every facility requires these. Some also require a kennel cough vaccine at least 48 hours before the first visit. Pack a familiar toy or blanket if your dog is nervous. Skip breakfast or feed half portions: a full stomach plus excitement plus rough play is a recipe for vomit on the van ride home.
If your dog has never been to daycare, expect them to come home exhausted. That is normal. A full day of play with other dogs is more tiring than any walk. If your dog seems stressed after the first few visits, talk to the staff. Some dogs do better with half days or smaller group settings. Not every dog is a daycare dog, and a good facility will tell you that honestly.
On days your dog stays home, an off-leash park is the best free alternative. And if you are going back to work after a summer off, our guide on separation anxiety covers how to ease the transition.
The median full-day rate is $51, with a $41 gap between the cheapest and most expensive. A 10-day package brings the median per-day cost down to $45.
About 40% of Toronto daycares group dogs by size or energy level. The rest run one mixed playroom. Cards above show which style each daycare uses.
Staff-to-dog ratio (under 1:10 is good), how they handle reactive dogs, what happens if your dog gets sick, and whether they require a temperament assessment before the first day.
Most daycares require one. Some charge $15–30, others include it free. It usually takes 30–60 minutes and tests how your dog handles other dogs, noise, and handling.
We started with every dog daycare in Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, Oakville, Burlington, and Milton that appeared on Google Maps with active reviews. We confirmed each one is still operating, then collected full-day rates, half-day rates, and package pricing directly from their websites or by calling. All prices were checked in August 2026 and exclude HST.
We verified features (webcams, outdoor space, grooming, shuttle service, size grouping) against what each facility advertises. Where their website and Google listing disagreed, we called to confirm.
Waitlists are common in September and January. If a price has changed since we checked, let us know and we will update it within 24 hours.
