TESTIMONIALS
Since I entrusted my Lira to Giardino di Iris for dog daycare, I know I can be completely worry-free. While I’m at work, I enjoy following the photos and videos the daycare shares throughout the day, and when I get home I find her happily tired from play and calm.
I was looking for a dog daycare in Milan that offered not only space but also a professional service, and here I found both. I thank Matteo and the qualified staff for this impeccable and indispensable service.

Seta, my Lagotto Romagnolo, immediately loved Giardino di Iris thanks to the immense 4,000-square-meter outdoor space and the opportunity to run and play with other dogs in a natural environment with woods and a lake.
I was also won over because she is free to do what she wants while still being in a controlled environment, supervised by an expert who ensures that play between dogs never goes too far.
On top of that, the shuttle service is priceless! I had never found a dog daycare that included this type of service. For me, it’s a top-class facility!

Giardino di Iris is a fantastic dog daycare in Milan where dogs can play and socialize. Loki and Aria go there almost every day, and Matteo takes care of them with passion and love.
There are dogs of all sizes, both large and small, and they are truly in excellent hands. The facility in San Donato Milanese is easy to reach, and the space is incredible compared to other daycares we had seen!

Leone is an extra-large mixed-breed dog, a cross between a Central Asian Shepherd (mostly) and what is believed to be a Labrador (a little). He is a three-year-old male, right in the prime of his strength.
Despite his impressive size, Leone interacts and socializes with all types of dogs. He has a truly vast 4,000-square-meter space where he can express himself and rest whenever he wants, and above all he is surrounded by greenery—something extremely important for a shepherd breed.
Matteo and his assistants are extremely attentive and available, capable of handling any situation that may arise. The home pick-up and drop-off service is truly a huge benefit.
The difference compared to other dog daycares in Milan? Definitely the space and the greenery—but I also believe Matteo truly has a gift, and the dogs can feel it. You just have to watch them!

I discovered this beautiful place through Nextdoor—it’s the ideal spot for Maverick, my big dog. With all the 4,000 square meters of outdoor space, he runs like crazy—he’s a real runner ????—and he’s also learning to socialize with other dogs.
Giardino di Iris is a calm dog daycare where you can let your dog have fun and relax without worries. Matteo is very knowledgeable and truly attentive.
The shuttle service is priceless—they pick your dog up and bring him back home. I highly recommend it.

I was incredibly lucky to meet Matteo, the owner of Giardino di Iris, while I was looking for a dog daycare in Milan where my Chihuahua could socialize.
My Puffo attends the daycare every day, and for me it is a great joy to know he is in loving and experienced hands at this facility in San Donato Milanese.
I recommend to anyone who needs a place where dogs can spend time happily and safely to turn to Matteo, a reliable man with a big heart.
Giulia Biasini – with Puffo
I leave my little friends at Giardino di Iris almost every day! Even though they are small dogs, they have boundless energy, which they are able to fully express at this dog daycare.
Matteo’s daycare, surrounded by nature with a private woodland and lake and perfect for playing and socializing with other dogs, is ideal for them. The equipped transport service is exceptional.
I was looking for a dog daycare in Milan that accepted small dogs, and here they felt absolutely at home. I highly recommend it!

I was already fortunate to know Matteo, as we attended the same group of people, and over time I learned that he had opened “Il Giardino di Iris” in San Donato Milanese—another great opportunity to try to integrate my little dog into a social environment suited for her.
For me, it was a pleasure, and I noticed wonderful results. Lupita, who was initially reluctant to interact with any kind of dog, day by day returned with a little less hesitation, and today she can interact with many more breeds, both large and small.
I will always thank Matteo for this, but even more for the care he shows, for the love he puts into giving dogs something they didn’t know they had, almost like a child psychologist—someone who helps you socialize.
It’s important to emphasize that this cannot be a complete solution; each of us must continue the path Matteo started and make sure our dogs don’t forget the joy of being with their own kind—I mean other dogs, of course ♥️

I’ve always been a bit skeptical about leaving my dog in someone else’s care. But since I met Matteo and discovered this dog boarding center in Milan, I’ve completely changed my mind.
When Melman goes to Iris’s Garden, I know for sure that he has fun and lets off steam with other dogs, in a controlled and safe environment with 4,000 square meters of space. It reassures me to know that he’s with Matteo and his team because they constantly supervise them and let them play a lot.
The home delivery service is unique and priceless. Plus, being able to see real-time photos and videos of what they’re doing is priceless. Truly the best.
Veronica Marzorati - & Melman
We discovered Giardino di Iris through social media, and we were immediately impressed by the large green spaces of 4,000 square meters and the opportunities for interaction among dogs of all sizes.
Our initial concerns about how our Moon might get along with so many different dogs disappeared in an instant. Matteo reassured us right from the start, and from the very first videos we could see Moon completely at ease.
We were looking for a daytime dog daycare in Milan with outdoor space, and we found it! The shuttle service too… simply fantastic!

We were looking for a solution for our puppy so he could channel his energy by running, playing, and socializing in a safe and stimulating environment.
At “Il Giardino di Iris” in San Donato Milanese, and more precisely with Matteo and his team, we found all of that. The 4,000 square meters of land with forest are perfect for an energetic puppy like Buddah.
The proof that they do an excellent job is our Buddah, who can’t wait every time to go back to the daycare!
Francesco - & Rachele with Buddah
Il Giardino di Iris is a benchmark for us. Syd (our dog) has a fantastic time with his many new friends in the large open spaces.
We had contacted Matteo because Syd had trouble socializing with other dogs, but since attending this doggy daycare, things have definitely improved.
Matteo, Martina, and Sebastiano are wonderful—always attentive and kind. The team is truly professional!
Sabrina - & Syd
Having an energetic Cocker puppy at home and not knowing how to help him socialize, let off energy, and be happy, while working away from home all day…but loving him madly and wanting the best for HIM?
I was wandering the Internet looking for dog sitting in Milan or some kind of daycare that could help me manage little Marley. And that’s why one evening I casually “came across” IL GIARDINO DI IRIS on Instagram—and it was, let me use the term, love at first sight.
Happy dogs, socializing with each other in harmony, a beautiful garden with 4,000 square meters of space to run freely, and a world of cuddles from the team who care for them. And I thought: this is the right place!
Add to that the pick-up and drop-off service… and I immediately got in touch with Matteo. Their quick response, passion for our furry friends, and willingness to always accommodate our needs are definitely a distinguishing feature of this team.
The subscription plan, online booking, and overall organization are certainly added value to the service. But above all… seeing Marley in the evening, “tired but happy,” resting with us on the couch is priceless!
Paola - & Marley
Il Giardino di Iris is simply fantastic! I was a bit worried at first because Caos doesn’t like spending too much time with other dogs, but thanks to the experience and passion of Matteo, Sebastiano, and Martina, he immediately felt comfortable in this doggy daycare in Milan.
The pick-up and drop-off service is extremely convenient. Seeing Caos happy to go when they come to get him, and coming back so satisfied after a full day in the large outdoor spaces, is truly priceless.
Highly recommended for anyone who loves their dog!
Micol – & Niccolò with Caos
If you’ve ever felt envious of the employees of designer Elisabetta Franchi or the staff at Bicocca, who can both bring their pets to the office, then you can stop being jealous.
Also, let’s be honest—what dog would be happy spending 8 hours sitting next to its owner’s desk?
In Milan, the solution to work peacefully or spend a few hours out of the house, without feeling guilty for leaving Fido alone, is “Il Giardino di Iris” in San Donato Milanese.
Here, our dogs have the chance to have a blast, running free across 4,000 square meters of forest and lake, and to socialize with other dogs, under the watchful and attentive eye of Matteo La Fata and his collaborators, Sebastiano and Martina.
So why deprive our dogs of this fantastic opportunity at this doggy daycare? Book now and give your furry friend a wonderful day. You’ll see—you’ll both be thrilled. Atos and I certainly are.
Marcella – and Atos
Very experienced staff, dedicated to the little and big furry friends. I receive many videos where I see my little ones having fun and making friends with other dogs in the large natural spaces.
When they return home, the trainers give me feedback about the day and the behavior of the little ones. As a cautious person, I feel very comfortable in this doggy daycare in Milan and I place my trust in the professional management of the team.

Paradise. For my Anita, this is it. And she is a greyhound, very, very restless. Nothing is ever enough for her, because in reality she wants to live freely and manage herself. Something impossible in the city.
At home, she is excellent, perfect with our large pack, but outside she only wants to do what she desires. And the Iris Garden seems made just for her.
The dogs are supervised and simply stimulate themselves, free and happy. They only do what they want in complete safety, enjoying themselves under the careful watch of Matteo and his team. A natural playground of 4,000 square meters full of scents and smells.
For Anita, it’s also a constructive experience, because she interacts freely with many other dogs and inevitably loses a bit of the throne she holds at home ????. And it certainly does her a lot of good in this doggy daycare with a forest.
For her, it’s a magical place. And for me too, because I see her happier than ever.

Sono molto entusiasta dei progressi che Leone, un Lagotto Romagnolo di tre anni, ha fatto in solo un mese al Giardino di Iris!
Quando ha iniziato, era un cane timoroso e molto diffidente, soprattutto verso gli altri cani. Per lui era difficile fare anche i più piccoli passi verso la socializzazione, ma con il supporto e la pazienza di Matteo e Alessandro, le cose sono cambiate in meglio.
Ora, passo dopo passo, Leone sta iniziando a superare le sue paure, avvicinandosi lentamente agli altri cani e mostrando miglioramenti evidenti grazie agli ampi spazi e al team esperto di questo asilo per cani.
Ogni piccola vittoria mi porta gioia, e ancora non riesco a credere a quanto stia migliorando. Siamo molto felici, Leone ed io! Non vedo l’ora di vedere i suoi prossimi progressi. Grazie Matteo e Alessandro!

Cercavamo una soluzione per il nostro cucciolo in modo che potesse incanalare le sue energie correndo, giocando e socializzando in un ambiente sicuro e stimolante. Nel "Giardino di Iris" a San Donato Milanese, e più precisamente in Matteo e nei suoi collaboratori, abbiamo trovato tutto ciò. I 4.000 metri quadrati di terreno con bosco sono perfetti per un cucciolo
