The award-winning Camp Run-A-Mutt South Bay location in Gardena is a cage-free daycare and boarding facility that actually gives dogs room to move around—over 10,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor space. When you drop your dog off, they’re not sitting in a kennel; they’re playing in a spacious grassy area, cooling off in a custom waterfall and splash pond, or relaxing under misters on hot days. The whole operation is supervised and kept clean, which matters when you’re leaving your dog somewhere for hours or overnight.

What makes this place different is the live streaming feature. You can watch your dog playing in real time from your phone, which is genuinely helpful if you’re nervous about how they’ll do or just want to check in. It beats guessing whether they’re having a good time or not.

Beyond daycare and boarding, they have a grooming boutique on-site if you want to freshen up your dog before or after their stay. There’s also obedience training available, so you can work on behavior while your dog gets socialization with other dogs. They offer dog washing too, which is convenient if your dog comes back muddy from playtime—you can get them cleaned up before heading home.

The facility caters to dogs that need activity and interaction, not dogs that do well sitting quietly. If your dog gets anxious alone or has high energy, this is the kind of place that wears them out in a good way. The combination of multiple play areas, water features, and constant activity means your dog actually uses up energy instead of just existing in a space for the day. It’s worth calling ahead to ask about their current availability and any specific needs your dog might have.
