Doggy Day Care in Apple Valley Highlands

“Ariana & Alexander are heaven sent!! I was absolutely satisfied with the love & care they gave my fur baby Onyx. He is a 3 month old puppy who is Extremely Active & Full of Energy and they embraced and welcomed all of it. They also accomodated my work hours and that was a very big plus for me!!”

“Why are the cheapest sitters usually the best? Because they don't strictly do this for the money, they love dogs. Jasmine was an amazing dog sitter. I never once had to worry about if my dog was being cared for, because I just knew she was good. Half the time my dog wouldn't want to come home with me because she was having too much fun there. The daily pictures are photographer quality and the best I've seen. A+++ Thank you Jasmine.....Millie and I will miss your excellent care”

“We had to find a dog sitter very last minute and reached out to Lika late at night. She responded quickly and made the whole process incredibly easy. She clearly communicated everything and set up a no-hassle appointment the very next morning. While Bella was with her, Lika was very responsive and even sent us a video of Bella playing with her family and having a great time. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing Bella was happy and well cared for. Highly recommend Lika — reliable, communicative, and truly caring. We’ll definitely be using her again!”

I have experience caring for and training a variety of animals with a mix of behavior and anxiety problems. I’m also a proud dog dad of a Min Pin, Miniature Schnauzer, and Blue Heeler.

There is also a pet friendly park with a nice lake right across the street for some fun doggie adventures!

About: I love animals. I grew up with dogs, a cat and numerous other animals. I have taken care of my neighbors pets, friends and families pets whenever they have needed it. It’s always been a fun experience. I am a stay at home mom, so I have a wide-open schedule that can accommodate others pet schedules, all you have to do is send in the request. I have a nice home, all hardwood and vinyl flooring. I currently do not have any pets of my own at this time, which would work well to take care of others pets. I have a big fenced backyard, plenty of room to run around and explore and nice grassy area as well. We have a small child, he’s very curious about all animals, we would love for him to get know your animal too!

About: I’ve owned and cared for two small dogs, giving me hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of love. Friends and family describe me as dependable and nurturing, and I treat every pet like part of my family. I’m patient with shy dogs, love staying active for walks, and I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away💕 I’m currently working part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to focus on pet care. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays , so I can easily fit in walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. And someone is always home other than me to provide that extra security if needed. I love planning my day around pets — whether it’s a long walk, playtime, or just keeping them company I’ve grown up with dogs and know how important it is to keep them safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and I can provide a calm environment for pups of all personalities. I’m comfortable following routines, giving medications, and making sure your pet gets the attention they deserve. If I’m in your home, I’ll treat it with respect and care as if it were my own

About: Hi! I’m Rachel, a dedicated dog caregiver with hands on experience training and caring for dogs since 2018. Dogs have been a central part of my life for years, and I specialize in providing calm, structured, and attentive care in a home environment. I have extensive experience working with puppies, adolescents, and adult dogs of all sizes, including high energy breeds and dogs who benefit from routine, boundaries, and positive reinforcement. I’m especially comfortable with puppies and understand how important consistency, supervision, and age-appropriate stimulation are during those early months. My home offers a safe, enriching environment with fully fenced front and back yards with artificial grass, plenty of room for supervised play, and indoor space for rest and downtime. Dogs in my care enjoy structured days that include play sessions, enrichment, and regular walks — including long, quiet walks that allow dogs to decompress and explore at their own pace. I prioritize clear communication with owners and will always treat your dog like one of my own. I’m attentive to body language, stress signals, and individual needs, and I tailor care to each dog rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether your dog loves to play, prefers a calmer pace, or is still learning the ropes as a puppy, I’m committed to providing a safe, respectful, and positive experience while you’re away. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pup! Pet care is a central part of my daily routine, not something I squeeze in between other obligations. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to plan my days around the dogs in my care — including feeding, walks, play sessions, enrichment, and rest time. I am a dog trainer going to school for advanced obedience and service dog training. I’m home all day and prioritize consistency and supervision, especially for puppies or dogs who need structure. Dogs are never rushed through their routines, and their needs always come first. Safety and calm structure are my top priorities. In my home, dogs are supervised at all times and cared for in a clean, secure environment with fully fenced front and back yards and plenty of space for controlled play and relaxation. I carefully manage interactions between dogs, provide appropriate rest breaks, and follow each dog’s routine closely. I am certified in dog somatic work for stress relief. I’m attentive to canine body language and stress signals and adjust care as needed to keep dogs comfortable and confident. I never use harsh corrections, overcrowd my home, or leave dogs unattended outdoors. In a client’s home, I respect routines, instructions, and boundaries exactly as requested and ensure pets feel safe and settled in their familiar space.

I will provide the love and care that your pet needs and is accustomed to at home. I understand each dog is special and will therefore be treated according. I am home full time with my kids so we do ask your pet must be good with children. Other than transporting our kids to and from school, we are typically at home. I have a pretty large fenced in backyard and two friendly dogs. I also love going out for walks. I would love to send you daily updates and photos of your pet having a great time in my home.

I own two cats that have been raised around dogs. The neighborhood is a good place for walks.

About: Ever since I can remember, I loved animals. I have always had animals in my home since I was young and taking care of them comes naturally. I helped a few of my dogs with their litters. I also helped my aunt with her blind dog like I said I love animals and I’m here to help with whatever you need. I am currently working from home so I have plenty of time to play with your pets. I am available seven days a week to help you with your needs. I have a fenced yard so plenty of room for your dogs to play. I have two small dogs. One was a rescue. My dogs are inside dogs and are crated at night for bedtime.

“Stephanie was very accommodating- we had a different sitter booked, who canceled on us day before, as we were driving in to town for a funeral. 😬 Stephanie stepped in, on very short notice, and cared for our Ella in her home. Ella, 15 and a big baby, was quite content when we picked her up, so I know it went well. Things have a way of working out and Stephanie will be our first choice in the future!”

“Joshua was an excellent host and his dogs did excellent with our dog Duke! He came home tuckered out after a long day of playing! He sent pictures and kept us in the loop which was perfect since we rarely leave Duke alone. 10/10 would recommend!!”

About: I provide reliable care for both cats and dogs backed by years of hands-on work. My goal is a comfortable, no-stress experience for both you and your pet. I’ve worked with several animal rescues over the years and regularly foster animals in need. I’ve handled animals with many kinds of special needs, from bottle-feeding kittens to administering mediations to seniors. I also care for feral cats, so animals who are feisty don’t faze me! I truly love getting to know each pet I watch and making them feel as comfortable as possible while their family is away. I do my best to keep your pet(s) on their usual routine while you’re away, and always provide them with loving care. I’m patient and adaptable, personalizing care to each pet, whether that means playtime, cozy snuggles, or just keeping a calm presence nearby. I’m happy to communicate updates as much or as little as you prefer, and will send you photos so you can relax knowing your pets are safe and comfortable. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions or special requests. I’m always open to discussing pricing, availability or anything else you’d like more information on. Talk soon! I work remotely from home. Caring for pets and spending time with them is something I have the luxury of doing throughout the day. The other work I do is flexible so caring for animals is my top priority. When boarding your pet, I provide a dedicated, comfortable space just for them, with everything they need to feel safe and at home. Each pet gets their own room (unless there are multiple from the same household) in a sanitized area, complete with cozy bedding, toys, and anything specific to their care. For dogs, I have a spacious, secure backyard where they can enjoy playtime and walks. I take the time to ensure they’re comfortable, relaxed, and loved while they’re away from home. When caring for your pet at your home, I stick to their routine, including feeding, medication, and plenty of playtime and affection. I respect your home and any guidelines you provide, making sure your pet feels safe, secure, and cherished while you’re away. And if you’d like, I’ll gladly share photo or video updates with you! I know how hard it is missing your babies when you’re away, and I’d love to help you feel at ease and show you they’re being well cared for.
