Doggy Day Care in Avila Beach

About: To stay busy as a child, I walked and house sat practically the entire neighborhood’s beloved pet. Summer days were filled with miles of dog walking adventures with a dedicated cabinet to keep the hundreds of house keys safe. Even now, as I begin grad school at Cal Poly, I can’t imagine my routine without it! Morning exercise, study breaks throughout the day, and evening walks are a perfect time for animal care sessions. Having a sister who is a vet, I am only a quick call away from an expert diagnosis if ever necessary. I have piece of mind knowing assistance is close and years of experience keeping animals happy and safe. I am currently enrolled in Cal Poly’s Master’s program for Biomedical Engineering, which is completely virtual this quarter and likely next. This allows for a very flexible schedule with frequent study breaks for pet walks or visits. The remote lessons even allow me to listen to lectures while with your pet in your home for extended pet company. My house is close to the bike path and terrace hill for the perfect pet excursion sure to leave them tired and happy. I love running to accommodate the high energy animals as well as the leisurely hike for those who are slowing down or prefer a casual sniff around.

“Absolutely amazing, beautiful personality, dog and house. I feel completely safe leaving my dog with her. She is the best dog sitter I’ve found here in San Luis Obispo. Thank you Kate!!!”

“Shannon has been wonderful so far. She has taken exceptional care of Macy, is attentive, communicates regularly, and is a true lover of dogs. We will continue to book her. Thanks Shannon!”

“Miki was AMAZING with my adult dog Moose. She was welcoming and friendly and communicated extremely well. She sent us updates throughout the day and was very responsive. She walked my dog and took care of him like he was her own pet! She made him comfortable and he isn’t easy to trust right away but with Miki and her family Moose seemed to feel right at home. We booked her for day care 2 days, back to back, and Moose seemed excited to go back! I hope she’s available next time we need a sitter because she will be the first person that comes to mind. Thank you Miki! We appreciate you so much 😄”

“Kara was outstanding and accepted my last minute request for day care. My pup seemed to really enjoy her time there! She must have been playing all day because she was completely wiped when we got home, that’s how I know she had a good time though!”

About: I love animals and I've taken care of family, friends, and neighbour's pets since I was 10! I have experience with lots of animals but especially with puppies and very large dogs (my own dog is 150 lbs!!) I’m taking a few Cuesta classes online so I can bring my laptop and do them anywhere! I can do boarding all weekends and I can do home-sitting anytime and come check in 3-4 times a day! I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep yours company! I love to walk my dogs and always make sure they get enough play time everyday!

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ all the way! We were initially very nervous at the thought of needing to find a sitter for our 11mo old Aussies as we’ve always taken them with us when traveling. But on our first go, we found Niccola who was incredible, so accommodating, kind, and had so much love for our crazy boys. They felt at home with her right away. We could tell they had a blast during their first daycare stay as they were completely wiped for the rest of the night. We’re so grateful to have found such a trustworthy, caring person as our go-to sitter!”

“Matthew and his significant other were total life savers during an occasionally unpredictable week for me. They were great with Reaux & super understanding and flexible when things came up at work that required me to go in earlier or come home later. Matthew texted an update during the day with a picture of Reaux. He also was very gracious when Reaux peed on his rug. This was an amazing River experience!!!”

“Mr. Mack had a great time with Lauren and family. He feels right at home in their home. He had play time, cuddle time, walk time and lunch time -- all bases covered! We will find future dates to request daycare again because we are 100% confident Mr. Mack is well loved and adored in their care.”

About: I have a 3 year old Bernese Mountain dog that I have raised from a puppy. Ready to share my love and care with more dogs and pups when their parents need a hand! I’m working from home right now, and I am looking forward to helping your pup during the workday, or when there are trips that your pup can’t come on! I will take good care of your pup’s needs, and look out for safety in your home and out and about! Please let me know of any special needs

“Tami took my pup's anxiety in stride and she clearly won him over quickly. He was snuggling up to her and clearly had a great day. Thanks for taking care of our puppy for the day so we could take a tour of Hearst Castle!”

“We had an amazing experience with Sheridan! She was incredibly caring and sweet with our pet, making sure all their needs were met throughout the day. What really stood out were the picture updates she sent, which put our minds at ease and let us see how happy and well-taken care of our pet was. We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and loving care for their furry friends!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 8 years now and truly love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and needs. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and temperaments, and I’m confident handling everything from relaxed cuddle buddies to high-energy pups who need lots of exercise. I especially enjoy getting dogs out on walks, beach trips, and hikes to keep them happy and stimulated. If your dog enjoys socializing, I also have a nearby family home where they can safely spend time with other friendly dogs. I always aim to provide a calm, loving, and reliable environment so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. I have a very open and flexible schedule as I work remotely, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m home often and able to adjust my routine based on your pet’s needs, whether that’s regular walks, playtime, or just company and comfort. I also go on a walk or hike every day, and I’d love to bring along a fluffy companion who enjoys being active and getting outside. I’m happy to tailor my day to make sure your pet feels included, stimulated, and well cared for while you’re away. I provide a safe, calm, and caring home environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I have a small fenced-in backyard for secure outdoor time, and pets are always supervised when outside. Inside, they’re welcome to lounge, play, and settle in as part of the home. I work remotely, so I’m home most of the day and able to give consistent attention, including walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I also go on daily walks or hikes and love including pets who enjoy being active. If your pet needs extra stimulation or prefers outings, I have a car and can take them to the beach, parks, or other safe outdoor spots. My goal is to keep their routine as comfortable and stress-free as possible while making them feel right at home.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for 7 years, I’ve been volunteering at shelters for about 2 years working with reactive dogs and helping with rehabilitation. I take rescue dogs on long hikes and love to be outside and I’m familiar with lots of different breeds and training techniques I will be home all summer and would love to create a great getaway for your pup while you are on vacation or need a break! I have a fenced yard, and empty house or one other adult with a cozy bed to sleep in and a quiet neighborhood. Pups will get all the love and cuddles!

“Emelie was very responsive, attentive and kept us up to date on how things were going with our pup Louie. He was a bit stressed being to be dropped off after a few days of car travel, but Emelie took him on a nice long walk to settle him down. Great location and safe spot in the middle of SLO. Thanks Emelie!”

“Paul was fabulous with our energetic rescue dog Rocky (the rocket). While we were on vacation in Pismo Beach, Paul watched Rocky all day for a couple days. He exercised and loved on Rocky for many hours, which gave us free time to be tourists in the area. We will definitely see if he's available again in the future, when we're back in the area. We highly recommend Paul for doggy daycare in the area. Rocky had a wonderful time. Thanks Paul!”

“Thomas did a great job taking care of my 6 month old puppy. He was very communicative whenever I wanted puppy updates and took my dog on daily hikes and walks to the beach and dog park.”
