The Tail Haven in Lafayette operates from two separate campuses—one dedicated exclusively to small dogs in their original 2,400 square foot location, and a newer facility designed for larger breeds. This split setup means your dog gets to spend time with dogs closer to their own size, which makes a real difference in how comfortable they are during the day.

The boarding and day care services here cover the basics you’d expect: safe play areas, supervised interaction time, and comfortable sleeping spaces. The grooming services round out what they offer, so you can handle multiple needs in one place. Staff members are experienced with different dog temperaments and energy levels, which matters more than you’d think when you’re leaving your dog in someone else’s care for the day or overnight.

The smaller dog campus has that established feel—they’ve had time to work out what works. The newer space for larger breeds is purpose-built, so there’s no retrofitting or compromise on room and setup. Both locations handle the basics of feeding schedules, any special needs, and general care routines.

Lafayette’s location in the East Bay makes this accessible if you’re in Contra Costa County. The dual-campus approach is actually practical rather than a marketing gimmick—it genuinely means Chihuahuas aren’t sharing space with Great Danes, and everyone’s more relaxed because of it. If you have specific questions about their day rates, boarding policies, or how they handle dogs with particular needs, their website has contact information and you can reach out directly to talk through what would work for your situation.
