The Genesis of Dog Daycare
An adventure born from passion and need
It all started with Snow, my faithful Jack Russell. Like many dog parents, I wanted to offer him a balanced life, rich in interactions and experiences, while reconciling my daily life.
It was during a trip to New York that I had a real revelation: there, dog daycares are a given. Places designed for the well-being of dogs, where they can play, socialize and expend energy safely while their humans enjoy their day.
Why didn't such a place exist here?
Back in France, the idea became obvious: to create a space dedicated to dogs… and to the peace of mind of their humans.
From idea to realization
Dog Daycare was never conceived as a simple daycare, but as a true living space, capable of meeting everyday needs:
-
A small, friendly daycare for balanced days
​
-
A wellness space, for their physical and emotional balance
​
-
2 self-service dog washes, convenient and accessible to all sizes
​
-
A specialist shop, with carefully selected products
​
-
Workshops and events to share unique moments
A dream come true
This project, born from a passion and inspired by Snow, is now a reality.
​
Dog Daycare is a place designed for the happiness of dogs… and the serenity of their humans.
Who am I?
I am Fanny Gimenez, passionate about animals, and more particularly about dogs.
​
After several years in the luxury hotel industry, where I learned the demands of service and the importance of detail, I chose to retrain in a field that deeply inspires me: animal welfare.
​
Throughout my travels, I have discovered different approaches to the canine world, reinforcing my belief that it was possible to create a unique place that is safe, stimulating and respectful of the needs of each dog.
​
My encounter with Snow was a real turning point.
He taught me to observe, understand, and adapt.
To offer him an environment in which he can fully flourish.
​
It is this simple and sincere relationship that gave birth to Dog Daycare.
A professional commitment
To go further, I trained as a pet sitter, obtaining ACACED certifications as well as the Canine First Aid Certificate.
​
These training courses now allow me to offer tailored support, understanding the fundamental needs of dogs and ensuring their daily safety.
​
Dog Daycare is the result of this journey, combining passion, high standards and commitment.
Who is Snow?
Snow, my faithful four-legged companion
Snow, a 11-year-old Jack Russell, is a bundle of energy… and tenderness.
​
Curious, playful and always up for a new adventure, he loves to explore, meet other dogs (with a clear preference for females!) and share moments of complicity.
​
A great traveler, he gets into the car with enthusiasm, always ready to discover what awaits him.
​
Both independent and very attached, he enjoys playing as much as curling up under a blanket for a quiet moment.
​
Snow also has a unique personality: a little stubborn, very expressive, and always seeking attention.
​
A full-fledged member of the family, who inspires me every day to create a place where every dog can fully thrive.
