Doggy Day Care Balboa Heights

About: I've had dogs most of my life. First was Lance, a Springer Spaniel, when i was 4-yrs old. Add German Shorthair Pointers, Weimeraners, Labs, both English and Anerican Cocker Spaniels, terrier mix breeds and my current pup is a Long Hair Chihuahua. Most of my dogs have been shelter rescues. Also, I foster dogs for local shelters. I am retired and spend most of my time at home working in my new garden reading, or crafting. When we have dog guests, our time is devoted primarily to our visitors. Human away time rarely exceeds 4-hrs per day. I have a large fenced yard to run and play in whenever they want Chewy, the Chihuahua, is a friendly companion. Indoors is a dog-friendly/dog priority 3-bdrm home. Plenty of space if a visitor needs some quiet privacy or a mim with pups wants separation. Daily walks add to our exercise regime. Balls, frisbees and dogs are shared. Treats abound!

“My senior dog Sandy had a very nice time at Barbara's house. I'm relieved to have found such a wonderful sitter! Thank you Barbara for making Sandy feel right at home.”

“Beth provided a great day care experience. She communicates well and provided good updates. Elly was excited to return the second day. An added bonus is her location next to an access point to the Tucson cycling trail system.”

About: I have been around cats and dogs my entire life. I love the unconditional love animals bring to ones home and heart. I am a long time volunteer at the Humane Society as a foster, providing a loving home to kittens. Yes, I'm a foster fail! Delilah was a senior that had Life can be busy so if you need someone to drop in and check on your fur babies, I’d love to help you. Whether you are out of town or working long hours, I can help! Thanks for looking and hope to hear from you soon!

“Melissa is amazing! Our pup took to her instantly and seemed happy and comfortable really quickly. Mellisa is great about sending pictures and a little report card at the end of a stay. She is a kind, organized and it’s obvious how good she is with animals! Highly, highly recommend her!!”

“Amber absolutely loves going over to have a fun day with her besties at Adria’s house! Amber is a very shy dog, so I know she truly loves it there because every time I drop her off, she runs out of my car, her tail is wagging like crazy, and she is always so happy and excited to willingly run right into the house. That alone gives me so much peace of mind knowing she’s somewhere she feels comfortable and safe. Adria is such a wonderful dog lover and is incredibly reliable, caring, and trustworthy. I always feel completely comfortable leaving Amber with her while I’m at work because I know she’s getting so much love, attention, and care. I couldn’t recommend Adria enough; she is truly amazing. 100/10! 🐾❤️”

“My 2 Pomeranians grieve when I am away from them... but not when thay are with Sylvie! They came home from Sylvie's happy and tired from a long day of great interaction. The video's and pictures she sent to me gave me such peace in knowing they were not only doing well but fitting right in. Slyvie has a gift with animols!”

“Pamela was absolutely amazing with our 14 year old Benji. She made his stay very comfortable, and she sent us pictures to let us know he was happy and safe!”

“Reagan had a wonderful first day of doggy daycare! From the start, I knew she was in a warm, attentive home filled with love and great human and doggy companionship. Their family and sweet dogs made her feel right at home. With Reagan just turning six months, I really appreciated how thoughtful Daniel and Christie were about supporting our ongoing training. They asked great questions and kept things consistent, which means so much for her development. I’m so grateful to have found them and excited for Reagan to have a caring, fun place to be that also builds her confidence and social skills in such a positive, enriching environment. Reagan and I both look forward to her next day with Christie and Daniel.”

About: I grew up with dogs and have been caring for them since I was young, so being around them feels natural to me. I’ve helped friends, family, and neighbors with walking, feeding, bathing, and giving their dogs attention and exercise. I’m reliable, patient, and make sure every dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I wanted to become a Conservation Biologist at one point of my life instead I went into Public Health! My schedule is flexible, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting, and I make sure they get lots of attention, playtime, and care while you’re away. I'm a PhD student and do a lot of work from home. Live close to campus. I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment in my pet-friendly apartment, with access to a small yard and nearby Himmel Park for regular walks and exercise. I carefully follow all care instructions, monitor pets closely, and ensure they feel secure and comfortable at all times. I'm a traveler and can't have my own pets but a temporary pet companion is always welcome and adored!

“Grateful to have Steve accommodate our Archie on very short notice. Archie was secure in his fenced in yard and looked like he enjoyed playing with the other dogs. He also sent a few pictures to keep us up in the loop that he was safe in his care. Thanks Steve!”

“Ashley does such a good job of attending to all the dogs in her care, which we can verify because she sends short videos throughout the day showing how each dog is getting along. I’m very pleased and happy for my little two year old Sunny Girl who stays with Ashley twice a week. I especially wanted Sunny Girl to have a chance to play and run with other dogs, and she’s getting that.”

“We are so grateful to have connected with Lesley. She is a remarkable human being and she treated our Edith with so much love and care. Already looking forward to their next day together. Can not thank you enough, Lesley. Blessings and peace to you.”
