Doggy Day Care in Atwater

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was very young, especially dogs and even reptiles! I’ve spent many many hours researching different breeds of dogs so I could understand what they needed to be happy and healthy. I can even do bath times! With me, your pets will be in the best of care. I’m a stay at home mom who loves playing with pets and taking them on walks and play dates. I have a large vehicle which allows for me to transport pets easily. If you need them brought to the groomer or the vet? I’m your girl! I’m currently available to pupsit on weekends with weekdays on a case to case basis, I have two very friendly dogs who love making new friends! They are both crate trained which will allow those pets with a fear of others to thrive. My yard is fenced in as well and I have a 5yr old who loves to play with animals and go on very long walks

“Michelle is first rate all the way. She has been doing doggy daycare for my husky Eve weekly since March. Since day one the experience has been wonderful. She is very responsive to request and questions. She has the experience that makes me 100% confident in Eve's safety. Prior to Michelle I had been juggling having friends and other Rovers watch Eve while I'm at work and it was always a stressful endeavor. Michelle and her family have made each visit smooth and problem free. I most appreciate the upfront and thoroughness Michelle has when booking. She is quick to let me know if she's available and if not she lets me know the days she is available. One of the most important things is how much Eve loves being at doggy daycare. Michelle and her family are the only people aside from family I trust to care for Eve.”

About: Since 2018, I have been providing care for various breeds of dogs. I currently own a dog whom I cherish greatly. I am a proud dog owner. I provide them with meals three times a day, bathe them twice a week, and take them for daily walks. Being a full-time housewife allows me plenty of time to take care of my pets. I enjoy working with both customers and their pets. I’m patient, friendly, organized, cheerful, and responsible. One of my strengths is that I’m very reliable—if I have a job to do, I always finish it on time. I also work well with others and communicate clearly. Although I sometimes feel nervous speaking English, I’m practicing every day and improving step by step. I believe my positive energy helps me connect with dogs, even if they don’t know me. There’s something in me that makes them feel safe and comfortable. My home is spacious and has a beautiful garden, giving dogs plenty of room to run and play freely.

She kept me updated and sent pictures of him. She also responded fast to my messages when I’d text her. Jina took very good care of rocky we would definitely book again!”

About: Before I opened my pet care facility I used to take care of hundreds of pets through rover. I'm excited to be back now and meet more fur friends! With over a hundred 5 star reviews on my old profile I was sad to leave it behind but now that I'm back I'm excited to get back to helping care for your fur babies! I have taken care of pets in all capacities! Grooming, training,boarding,daycare, you name it I've done it! I have and will continue to take care of your furry friends like they are my own! The pets have a schedule depending on if they are okay to play with other dogs. We start the day off with breakfast then they are out to play the whole day with a nap/ lunch between noon and 2pm. After a long day of play they eat dinner, have their last potty breaks then settle in their rooms where they are lulled to sleep by the TV. Their schedule of course depends on the owners requests for number of meals a day, what time they eat and their compatibility with other dogs. Thankfully the doggies that can't be with other dogs have their own area to roam and play! Pets sleep in door always and have access to ample outside time! They are able to play with dogs and people in a safe, temperature controlled and comfortable environment!

About: Hi! I’m Amber, a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet sitter based in Merced CA. I’ve been surrounded by animals for as long as I can remember. From having puppies and kittens as a child, to joining FFA in high school to show rabbits, caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. Since then, I’ve raised and cared for many different pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, geckos, chameleons, turtles, fish, and chinchillas. My love for animals shines through in the care and attention I give every pet I look after. At home, I currently have two small dogs, Mia who is my gentle 9 year old best friend, and her energetic little sister Zoey, who just turned 1. I also have hands on experience with a special needs dog who needed constant supervision and extra love. Over the years, I’ve learned a lot about pet care and dog training by watching training videos and staying informed on proper socialization and behavior. I look forward towards fulfilling my dream of working in the veterinary field. When your pet is with me, you can trust they’ll be treated like family with lots of love, patience, and careful attention to their needs. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! 🐾 I’m currently focusing on returning to school, which means I have plenty of time and flexibility to dedicate to caring for your pet(s) throughout the day. I have a large, fenced backyard where dogs can safely run and play freely. My own dogs are friendly and always excited to meet new friends. For pets that are crate trained, I have a medium sized crate available for their comfort and security. I always make sure all pets in my care have fresh water, a proper feeding schedule, and plenty of playtime and attention. My home is stocked with toys, cleaning supplies, and loving family members who are also animal lovers, so your pets will feel right at home. If you prefer, I’m also happy to care for your pets in your own home, ensuring they stay comfortable in their familiar environment while you’re away. No matter where I watch your pet(s), you can trust that their safety, happiness, and well-being are my top priority

“Estefany was very nice when receiving my very energetic baby. She send us picture and keep us updated on how he was doing and over all a great sitter. I would definitely be booking for future trips.”

About: Growing up with a chihuahua taught me patience and care for small dogs. In 2020, our family got a Belgian Malinois named Toby, whose energy matched my marathon-running hobby. As a college student away from Toby, I’m eager to share my love and experience with your pets. My background with diverse breeds and active lifestyle ensure your pets get the best care. I recently graduated from UC Merced with my public health bachelors degree (2025)! Now with my flexible research schedule allows me to tailor my day. I love taking daily walks and runs to enjoy the breeze and sunshine. I'm available throughout the week and can accommodate various times. Just give me a day's notice to ensure I can provide uninterrupted care for your loved ones. I stay in an apartment complex with 24/7 access to four dog parks, wash station, multiple courtyards, and a large balcony. Whether caring for pets in my home or yours, I prioritize their safety and comfort. The secure environment ensures plenty of space for exercise and play, providing your pets with a fun and safe experience.

“Kristal and her 2 pups watched our 5 month old mini goldendoodle on short notice. She always responded quickly, nice clean home, close to us, and seemed confident with having our pup. Her dogs are your, which we were wanting, since our dood loves to play. We were very happy with her care and hope they will welcome her back!”

Terri R.

“Marcus was AWESOME! Marcus watched my 4 month old black lab mix, Milo, for just over 10 hours and Milo loved him! Marcus is definitely a dog lover and obviously has great experience working with them. He updated me with pictures throughout the day, which was very comforting. His dogs were also very friendly and were great with my puppy. Definitely rebooking with Marcus!”

About: I have been taking care of my own pets and pets of friends and family for 20 years now. I do not have formal pet care training; however, I love being around my puppy and 2 cats, as well as any other pet. ♥️ I currently am not working, but am doing part time school, some of which has no scheduled times. So I have plenty of time to spend with your pups and kitties! I have a fenced in yard, but even when having pets back there, I will also be there to keep on an eye them, as well as I would if I’m caring for your pets in your own home.

“Lillie did awesome on short notice with my husky! She took him on a really long walk and I picked up a happy and tired dog. I recommend and would book her any time with confidence!”
