Doggy Day Care In Alta Vista

“Absolutely wonderful people and the best communication I’ve had in all my years using Rover! I felt very comfortable leaving my babies with Jermere & Janetta; will definitely be booking again if my girls behaved themselves 😂❤️”

“This is the most welcoming and joyful home. One of the highlights is that my pup gets to play in secret paradise. You’ll understand if you book. I hope to reconnect with them soon. It’s so rare when the space and the family are absolute treasures.”

About: As a full-time retired “dog grandpa,” I’ve spent over 50 years caring for dogs of every shape, size, and personality. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me for decades to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pups just like my own. I currently share my home with a friendly spaniel mix who loves making new friends and helps create a warm, social atmosphere for visiting dogs. I’m patient, attentive, and happiest when I’m surrounded by wagging tails. From energetic youngsters to sweet seniors, I know how to keep each dog comfortable, confident, and cared for. Now that I’m fully retired, caring for pets has become one of the most enjoyable parts of my day. I’m home most of the time, which means your pet gets plenty of attention, frequent potty breaks, and peaceful company throughout the day. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays, and my open schedule allows me to keep your pet’s routine steady morning strolls, afternoon cuddles, or extra playtime, whatever they need. My home is set up with pets in mind. I have a secure fenced backyard with a large pet door so dogs can safely go in and out for fresh air and play. My spaniel mix is friendly and loves having canine company. We take daily walks to nearby parks, perfect for sniffing, exploring, and stretching those legs. Inside the house, pets are welcome to relax wherever they feel comfortable and yes, that includes the furniture. I provide a calm, supervised, and cozy environment, and I’m experienced with crates, medications, special diets, and supporting dogs with different energy levels or routines. Your dog will be treated like a cherished family member with all the gentle attention, structure, and warmth you’d expect from a loving retired grandpa.

“Vanessa was quick to respond to a last minute daycare request, which is super helpful! Penelope came back ready for a nap which is awesome! Vanessa also sent pictures during the visit, which this anxious fur bebe mama always appreciates!”

About: Hello! I’m a Zoology student working toward becoming a veterinarian and a Military Conservation Agent veteran. I have hands-on experience with a wide range of animals, including emergency care and working alongside veterinarians, and I’m confident handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. With my background, I can also provide informed medical guidance when needed. I’m especially a great fit if your dog needs extra care—such as medical support or recovery monitoring. I can administer medications, closely track their condition, and offer cross-border vet services to Mexico, either accompanying you or independently taking your dog for care. My goal is to keep your dog safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times. As a full-time student, I work around my class schedule and maintain a high level of flexibility. My only fixed commitments are my lab sessions, but outside of those times, I can adjust my availability to fit your needs, including early mornings, evenings, and most daytime hours. I have professional experience handling high-drive even dangerous animals, including wolfdogs and wildlife. I know how to manage strong breeds safely and calmly. I respect your home and property. I use professional handling techniques to ensure safety during walks, and I am fully capable of providing basic medical care and behavioral support if any issues arise during my stay."

“Dama was such a wonderful dog sitter, she was so communicative and I felt completely comfortable leaving our high strung Belgian boy with her while we enjoyed days out in San Diego (visited from Northern Nevada). Thank you for taking such good care of our boy!”

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life—starting with our sweet family dog growing up. Now, I share my home (and heart!) with two more pups I co-parent with my girlfriend: a small Shih Tzu and a senior mix, along with our youngest frenchie, Cleo. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, secure, and loving environment for every pet. I follow your routines closely, ensure clean food/water areas, and monitor for any signs of stress or behavior changes. I never leave pets unattended outdoors and I’m always mindful of doors, gates, and other safety measures. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priority. Availability: I do work a 8-5 Mon-Fri job. I am open to house sitting if your pup can be okay with me being gone during those hours. I work in the El Cajon area so if you’re close by, I could stop to check on your pup during my lunch break. I try to accommodate as much as possible 😊 Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I prioritize flexible scheduling so your pet gets the attention they need—whether it’s morning walks, mealtime, enrichment play, or bedtime cuddles. I work from home and spend most of my time indoors or outside on walks, so I’m able to provide consistent companionship, love, and care throughout the day. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, secure, and loving environment for your pet. I follow your routines closely, ensure clean food/water areas, and monitor for any signs of stress or changes in behavior. I never leave pets unattended outdoors, and I’m mindful about doors, gates, and anything that could pose a risk. I want your pet to feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for at all times.

“My dog Nyla is in such good care with Maria! Maria updates me on all the adventures my dog has through the day. I would highly recommend her to care for your pet. We are a recurring client. :)”

“I loved Melinda, I don't trust anybody with my dog he is the closest thing I have to a child and she treated him as such. Normally people are scared of pit bulls but she welcomed him with open arms. I'd recommend her to any and everyone. Nice house, she walks them, takes pics, let you bring your own food and toys and does meet and greets and will tell you honestly, if she cannot watch your dog. Me and benny both give 4 thumbs up!”

“I recommend Lori as a trustworthy and caring dog sitter! My dog is strong and energetic, and Lori knew how to manage him, and was very kind and patient. She gave him lots of needed attention and kept me updated. I appreciate Lori so much for making me feel at ease knowing he was in good hands!”

“Pamela is a very sweet lady:) she took our Nova for a day and when we got there she slowly introduced her to the other dogs before letting her run. She is very cautious and handles the dogs very well. I would definitely recommend her services to others.”

About: My senior dog was my very best friend and companion. I adopted him when my cousin wasn't able to care for him anymore. He passed away last May at the age of 14 after battling ongoing diseases/old age. We walked every day and he also had a big fenced garden to play in. I will make sure your dog has all the attention they need, plenty of restroom breaks, and their daily walks. I will treat them as my own furry friend. I am a stay at home mom and am available throughout the day to ensure they receive the attention they need. I am able to give your dog their daily routine, potty breaks, feeding times, and walks/playtime/exercise as needed. I will care for them as my own and make sure they feel at home. I have a fenced backyard with plenty of grass to play in. I have a 4 year old who is very good with animals because he grew up with my senior dog when he was born. I have doggy beds/couches for your dog to sit/sleep on. I no longer have my senior dog with me so it will be just me and my 4 year old. I am available at all times of the day since I stay at home and can monitor your companion.

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is the way I treat every pet like family while tailoring care to their unique needs. I have hands-on experience with both energetic puppies who need consistent training and gentle guidance, as well as senior pets who may require extra patience, medication reminders, and comfort. I focus on creating a safe, calm environment where pets feel loved and secure, even when their owners are away. Whether it’s reinforcing good habits, providing lots of play and exercise, or offering slow walks and cuddles for older pets, I adapt to what each furry friend needs. My goal is to make sure they’re not only cared for, but genuinely happy. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I am home full-time with no other job commitments. This allows me to give pets my full attention throughout the day In my home, pets enjoy a clean, bug-free space with a fenced backyard for safe play and exercise. I provide fresh water, regular breaks, and lots of attention.

About: I have knowledge in pet care, dog behavior & dog nutrition. I have 6 year experience working with different dog and cat breeds of different age & sizes in a pet kennel, managed a dog camp and also have some experience in dog bathing. I also have experience in caring for other animal breeds ; hamsters, rabbits & some reptiles. I’m currently working part time so I have plenty of time to get to know and spend lots of fun time with your pets and would love to spend my free time together ! I have a friendly cavapoo that can keep your pet company & a “doggy room” in my home that is a converted closet 2 x6 foot secured area that includes a doggy bed. I do also have a toddler in the home so pet must be friendly with children.
