Depends on the dog daycare really.
Personally, I'd never pay to take my dogs to a dog daycare. I pretty much have one at my house as it is. I'm not trusting of others, especially when it comes to my dogs.
I used to work at a dog daycare. We were always over the limit the city gave us, because the owners just wanted to pull in mad money, and didn't give a damn if we were overworked, understaffed, and packed to the rafters. We didn't have too many fights, but there were some that were eventful to say the least. One with the owner's highly DA pit bull mix almost ripping a French Bulldog in half, and when one of my co workers went to break it up (we didn't have break sticks, idiot owners refused to invest in them), the pit bull mix redirected on him and he almost lost his finger (then had to sign an agreement with the owner that he wouldn't report her dog, if he did, they wouldn't pay for his finger reattachment).
On days where we were slow, or that no one would be home for 12 hours, I'd take my dogs. But they were under my supervision, and when we got too busy, I'd take them to the boarding room and crate them.
That being said, I have seen some good ones. Not many, but there are a few. One is run by a dog trainer down river-ish, who has a ridiculous amount of experience training dogs for SAR, border patrol, police work etc, and has works with a pit bull rescue. I'd take my dogs there if I didn't have time to walk them, and if I had the money.
But unless you know what you're looking for, I wouldn't recommend dog daycare. Maybe just get a good dog walker if you're going to be gone for long periods of time throughout the day.
