Smaller Playgroups, Bigger Fun
At Rose City Dogs, we do daycare a little differently. Our small batch daycare model was designed to meet dogs where they are—socially, emotionally, and physically—through safe, enriching, and carefully curated playgroups at our Broadway and Cully locations.
We’ve even created unique spaces tailored to your dog’s size. Our Broadway location offers small-group dog daycare for dogs of all sizes in a safe, structured, and playful environment. Our Cully-based Little Dog Resort is specially designed for small breeds, while our Cully Bigs program serves up plenty of room to romp for larger guests. Every pup gets the personalized attention they need to feel comfortable, confident, and cared for.
What is Small Batch Daycare?
We keep our groups intentionally small, ensuring each dog gets plenty of attention, structure, and the chance to shine in a setting that’s just right for them. Whether your pup is shy or social, tiny or towering, we create a calm, engaging environment tailored to their individual needs.
Our convenient Portland locations, Broadway and Cully, make finding the perfect playgroup for your pup simple. All groups are supervised by PackPro-certified staff trained in canine behavior, group dynamics, and pet first aid.
What you can expect at our dog daycare:
- Real-time attention to your dog’s behavior and emotional needs.
- A peaceful group setting.
- Safe play and deep trust between dogs and staff.

Broadway:
A Haven of Play
Operating in the heart of Portland’s NE Broadway Neighborhood, we welcome small groups of dogs daily, ensuring a close-knit, safe, and nurturing environment. Our day programs offer your furry friend a structured and supportive learning environment, promising a day filled with fun and play. Choose between our full-day and half-day programs to provide your pet with a day of joyous learning and socialization, all under the careful supervision of our experienced staff.
Cully Bigs:
Daycare for Larger Dogs
Our Cully Bigs program is specifically designed for dogs 30 pounds and over. This location features spacious indoor and outdoor play areas, perfect for higher-energy pups who love to romp and explore. We monitor play closely to ensure everyone stays safe and has a blast.
Whether your big dog is outgoing or a more laid-back observer, our small group sizes help reduce overwhelm while keeping tails wagging.
Cully Little Dog Resort:
Maximum for Mini-Guests
Our Little Dog Resort, also located in our Cully facility, was designed with small dogs under 30 pounds in mind. Smaller guests enjoy a cozy, dog-scale environment that’s safe, fun, and filled with familiar friends.
Everything is sized with comfort in mind: lower play structures, gentle groupings, and a nurturing vibe that helps small dogs feel confident and secure.
Socialization Center:
Confidence Starts Here
We understand that not every dog is ready to jump into group play. That’s why we offer a Private Socialization Program as part of our Socialization Center. Over time, many dogs in the Socialization Center “graduate” into regular playgroups. But only when they’re ready and on their terms.
For dogs who are still learning how to navigate social settings, we provide customized, one-on-one sessions designed to help them build confidence and comfort at their own pace. These sessions are led by experienced team members who specialize in understanding dog body language, emotional cues, and stress signals.

Dog Daycare FAQ
Do you separate big dogs and small dogs?
Our Cully location features two dedicated programs: Cully Bigs for dogs over 30 lbs., and our Little Dog Resort for smaller pups. Our Broadway location does not separate dogs based on size. Each of our daycare programs are designed with the dogs’ comfort and safety in mind.
What’s a typical day like for my dog?
Dogs enjoy a mix of active play, rest breaks, enrichment activities, and personalized attention. Each group has its rhythm, depending on the energy level and personalities on display. Rest assured, every moment is supervised by our trained team.
What’s included in a daycare session?
A full day of small group play, socialization, group enrichment, and loving care. We also provide real-time updates through our client app so you can stay connected. One-on-one enrichment and training can be added to any daycare day.
My dog is shy or reactive—can they still attend daycare?
Absolutely. Our Private Socialization Program gently introduces dogs to the daycare environment. Our experienced team tailors each session to your dog’s emotional needs while helping them gain confidence over time.
What’s required to get started?
Every new daycare guest begins with a Meet & Greet, a 45-minute appointment that helps us learn more about your dog’s personality and behavior. It also gives your pup a chance to get comfortable with our space and staff. From there, we build a plan that works for you and your dog.
