Your salt-and-pepper fur baby deserves to retire in style and comfort! Located right by the beach in a home environment, Sunset Seniors Dog Daycare is the only daycare in San Francisco reserved for pups who want to take life at a slower pace.
Let's be honest...
Your dog is not as young as they used to be! Maybe they used to like burning off lots of energy, and now they would rather rest in the shade or may get a little grouchy when younger dogs try to play with them...
Guess what?
That's pretty normal for seniors!
Our Chihuahua Posse has so many opinions to share!
Here at SSDD, we use science-based positive reinforcement to encourage all our guests to be their best selves. They'll have lots of fun with us and their doggy friends, and will be eager to come back and have more great experiences!
Our scent garden with lavender, sage and rosemary for the seniors to enjoy. We use treat puzzles and snuffle mats for additional enrichment!
This is a great way to keep your pup's brain stimulated and help them stay calm and contented...
We offer a suitable environment for your golden-aged dog, including custom-made dog ramps built by Dog of The Year to assist them in navigating the two short steps from the deck to the garden and up onto the sofa where they can be nice and comfy! We can also administer meds as needed.
Lots of space to run around and play!
Splash pad is used on warmer days which is fun for the water-loving dogs!
Also plenty of resting spots for those who would rather stay dry and sunbathe... We also offer walks if requested, with beach trips included!
My own pups, Bowie (left) and Maddie (right). Maddie crossed the rainbow bridge in 2020. She is forever in our hearts...
"After nearly a decade in the dog daycare industry, the inspiration for Sunset Seniors came from watching my own 14-year-old companion, Bowie. He grew to be uncomfortable with the high-energy play of younger dogs, and I realized he wasn't alone. Our seniors don't want to stop being social: they just want to do it on their own terms!
At Sunset Seniors Dog Daycare, our mission is to provide a serene and secure sanctuary where aging dogs can thrive. Built on a combined 19 years of expertise and a deep understanding of the senior spirit, we bridge the gap between easy play and peaceful retirement.
We are dedicated to enriching the golden years of every dog through tailored socialization, indoor-outdoor engagement, and the specialized care they deserve--giving owners total peace of mind.
I founded Sunset Seniors to offer that missing middle-ground: a place where the pace is slower, the naps are longer, and the enrichment is designed for wise, old souls. Whether it's for a day of socialization, or a cozy boarding stay, we treat your dog like our own family!"

What Our Clients Say
Extra Support for Shy Dogs!
"We have a very anxious, shy, 14 year old, 13 lb pup who takes a long time to warm up to people ... Amanda worked with us and did multiple sessions to get our dog feeling safe! We made progress after every session and now our dog feels comfortable enough to follow Amanda around and ask for treats! Such a huge improvement! ... We are so thankful to have found her!"
My Pup is Exctied to Spend Time With Trustworthy Staff!
"My senior chihuahua loves his twice-weekly visits to hang with fellow Sunset Seniors doggos. Amanda is personable and communicative, and I'm happy to entrust my pet to her care. Convenient Sunset location, reasonable cost, and pickup/drop-off is a nice perk"
"Sunset Seniors had the perfect environment for our shaky pup. Their four-footed clientele tend to be smaller or older. We could see that our usually timid dog was at ease, happy, and interested in gentle play ... Sunset Senior Dog Daycare is the best for our pup!"
Mobility-Minded Set-Up and Playgroup!
"I cannot recommend Sunset Seniors more highly! My older little fella lives in the chill lane, so Sunset Seniors is absolutely perfect for him... Amanda is great at limiting the crowd to a reasonable number - and all with laid-back personalities... They always ... choose the safest option if there's any question about my pup's care -- he's got IVDD and jumps are definitely not recommended. Special medicine and food? Not a problem... The layout is easy for dogs, all the pups can roam freely, there's sunshine, shade, outdoor beds, and cool water play areas for warm days in the massive back yard, rugs underfoot everywhere inside, access to numerous comfortable pet beds and raised water bowls, and there's even ramps inside AND outside. If my guy can't be at home with his regular sitter and old-pup accommodations, then I want him here..."
