Home-Based Daycare That Actually Works for Your Dog
There are two kinds of doggy daycare in Sudbury. The first is a large commercial facility where your dog is one of fifteen or twenty, managed by whoever is on shift that day. The second is what we do.
We take in a maximum of 3 to 4 dogs at a time. Your dog comes to our actual home, spends the day in a calm living environment with the same people every session, and follows a proper routine that balances activity and rest.
If your dog has been stressed or unsettled after commercial daycare, our model tends to produce a completely different result.

A Typical Daycare Day at Max and Joy
Every daycare day follows a consistent structure. Consistency helps dogs settle and reduces anxiety, especially for dogs that are new to daycare.
- Morning arrival and potty break
- Supervised playtime with the group
- Mental stimulation activities (not just physical play)
- Rest and nap time built into the middle of the day
- Outdoor time in our secure backyard
- Trail or park outings for compatible dogs, with owner consent
- Calm wind-down before pickup
Your dog will go home genuinely tired. Not overstimulated, not stressed, just properly exercised and settled.
Why We are Different From Other Daycare in Sudbury
Our Home, Not a Commercial Facility
Your dog spends the day in a real house. Furniture, warmth, a real living environment. No concrete floors, no bank of kennels, no industrial lighting. A home is fundamentally different from a facility and dogs respond to that.
The Same Faces Every Session
No rotating staff, no whoever-is-in-today. Your dog builds a genuine relationship with our team. For dogs that take time to trust people or that become anxious around strangers, this consistency changes everything about how they experience the day.
Maximum 3 to 4 Dogs, Always
We enforce a firm cap on group size. There is no exceeding this number for any reason. A smaller group means less stress, more individual attention, and caregivers who are actually present and engaged with each dog rather than managing a crowd.
Every Dog Is Assessed Before Joining
New dogs do a meet-and-greet before their first daycare session. We check temperament, how they interact with other dogs, and whether they are a good fit for the current group. If they are not, we say so honestly.

03.
We Handle the Day
Your dog is supervised, exercised, rested, and cared for properly. You do not need to check in or worry.

Photos and check-ins. You always know how your dog is doing without having to ask.
Is Our Doggy Daycare Right for Your Dog?
Our daycare is a particularly good fit for:
- Dogs that struggle being home alone for long stretches during the day
- Social dogs that get anxious or destructive when left by themselves
- Dogs that find large, busy daycare facilities overwhelming
- Dogs that do better in small familiar groups than in large mixed packs
- Owners that want consistent caregivers and regular updates during the day
