Doggy Day Care in Avila Beach

“Cloe is awesome! We came to SLO for our son’s graduation, and she watched our dog Mila for two days and even watched my sister’s dog too! The dogs were happy when we picked them up. I highly recommend her.”

“Oli always has the best time with Katie! They go out on adventures to the park and to the beach, 2 to 3 walks a day, and they also snuggle on the couch. At the end of the day we have a happy and relaxed dog, as well as lots of pictures and a summary of all the fun they had. We couldn’t be more pleased with the care our Oli receives from Katie!”

“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!”

“Tamy was wonderful with my dog, Churro! She cared for her for about 5 hours while I was visiting San Luis Obispo and attending a football game with my freshman son. Tammy was friendly and made me feel completely at ease leaving Churro in her care. When I picked her up, she was happy and relaxed — a sure sign she was well cared for. I’d definitely use Tamy again next time I’m in the area!”

“Adrienne was awesome. So friendly and sent pics of our pup when we were worried about her! Highly recommend!”

About: As a veterinary technician, I’m comfortable handling a wide range of situations—from administering medications to recognizing early signs of illness—so your pet is in knowledgeable, capable hands. I have experience working with animals of all ages, including energetic puppies who need structure and training, as well as senior pets who require patience, gentle handling, and close attention to their comfort and health. I’m confident with basic training reinforcement, leash manners, and helping maintain routines that keep pets feeling secure. Beyond that, I truly take the time to connect with each animal’s personality. Whether your pet needs playtime and exercise, calm companionship, or a little extra reassurance while you’re away, I adapt to what makes them happiest. My goal is always to provide a safe, stress-free environment where your pet feels cared for like they’re my own. I am in college and have a pretty flexible schedule when it comes to my days, I’m usually at home studying or with my horses and am lucky enough to have property at my house I love to play, love on animals, or let them do their own thing, if your dog loves to walk I’ll walk for hours if needed, I just want to do what will make them happy!

“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!”

“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 😄”

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.

“Kimberley was so quick to respond when we needed last minute care for our pup! We felt so comfortable leaving Hazel with her for the afternoon. She had a little set up for Hazel as soon as we arrived and took her to the park. We would trust her to care for Hazel anytime!”

About: Can’t wait to hang out with your pet. I’ll always make sure they have fun with me. I’d love dogs but I think it’s a big step and prefer to be a sitter for now It fits in because I have a lot of free time and I’d love to spend time with animals ! Also I really love that I can get out and exercise and I am adding that to my daily routine Making sure my home or clean and free of any harm to animals or any one really. I live near the beach. So it’s perfect for a walk and there is a dog park nearby

About: I have had many types of pets. Such as fish, bunnies, turtles, bird, cats and a dog. I have took a few training classes on how to make my dog successful. She has many titles. She’s also an advanced trick dog. So I’m willing to teach any dog some tricks if wanted. Not only do I have experience but I’m also willing to be affordable to. I will work around your prices. To be afraid to ask I have some free time available and willing to care for your pets during that time. I’m always available mondays. And willing to do drop ins after work and have most weekends available. I also have Fridays available but after 3:30pm When doing drop ins in your home I will follow all instructions to care for your pets. I do positive reinforcement so leave your pups favorite treats out. Lots of attention and play will be provided

“Lauren was great and so flexible with some schedule changes we had. We appreciated the picture updates and all the love our Luna got from her and her kids!”

“Matt was really nice and I felt like my dog was in good hands. He was great with communication and response times and I would definitely choose him again. My dog left happy and my family had a chance to do activities that we couldn't normally do while traveling with a dog.”

Karen M.

“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!”

About: Every creature I meet - from fuzzy, waggy, purry fluff balls to mysterious little pocket-sized critters - is an adventure waiting to happen. I greet each one with sparkling excitement and big-hearted curiosity and love. 🏡🐶🐱 Due to remote working, I’m always here for your animal!! Animals at my house get the luxury of having interaction at their paws 🐾 Animals know I understand their secret frequency. My patience, gentleness, and playful spirit make them feel like they've found their long-lost best friend. I’ve had animals by my side my whole life, which is probably why I’m basically an animal whisperer at this point. They sense my intuition — that soft, instinctive way I know exactly what they need, whether it's a snack, a cuddle, or something else. Animals aren't just pets. They're honorary members of my family; my tiny roommates with fur. My home is their kingdom; my heart is their cozy lounge. Where I go, animals follow — because they know I’m the kind of human who truly gets them. I don’t just fit animals into my schedule — I weave them into my day. My routine is delightfully flexible, perfectly shaped to welcome paws. My schedule is flexible and intuitive, allowing me to build in regular check-ins, feeding times, walks, and play sessions without stress or disruption. I move through my tasks with patience, intuition, and a sprinkle of magic — knowing exactly when a dog needs an extra trot around the block or when a cat needs a dramatic feather-toy performance. Animals slip into my schedule so naturally you’d think they helped design it. To every pet I care for, I’m the whimsical guardian who arrives right when they need me — the keeper of routines, the bringer of fun, and the human who makes their day just a little more sparkly. Safety begins with awareness, consistency, and preparation. When caring for an animal, I create a space where their physical well-being is always the first priority. That means secure environments (no open doors if they are not allowed out, hazardous items, or unsafe spaces), proper handling, and mindful supervision during walks, play, or feeding. I pay attention to their routines, health cues, and comfort levels, making sure they’re protected from stress, danger, or anything unfamiliar that could overwhelm them. A safe animal is a relaxed animal — and I make that possible. A good environment is one that supports an animal’s emotional and physical needs. I create spaces that feel safe, comfortable, and full of enrichment — spots for quiet rest, opportunities for play, and room to explore without fear. My presence makes the environment even better: calm, welcoming, and filled with positive interactions. Whether the animal is staying in my home or I’m in theirs, I make sure their surroundings feel familiar, soothing, and full of the little comforts that help them thrive.

“We needed a last minute sitter for our two goldens while we were there visiting family and Niccola was so sweet and responsive! Our dogs were happy the minute they got there. We will definitely use her again the next time we are up there with our dogs!”
