Doggy Day Care in Ballard

“Ashley was great with our Calvin! She offered to pick him up each night and drop him off and he got to play with her fur babies on their nice property. She was very easy to communicate with and answered quickly. He definitely enjoyed his time there.”

About: Since I was a just a kid I have loved all kinds of dogs, I know all the great dog parks in the area to play fetch or just let them run free (in the gated park of coarse) and even enjoy taking them on hikes threw out the city or to the beach on a sunny day! We can play fetch or tug o war, lay inside and hangout or go outside and enjoy the sun. When provided I will feed your pet and give them water when needed; and I will even give your pet treats or rewards for good behavior or fun tricks they may know. I can also provide possible grooming upon request and for an extra fee depending on grooming request and dog size and age.

“Berenisse is a dog owner’s dream. She has been caring for my puppy, Zoey, for the past week, and I have felt completely confident that my girl was in good hands, thanks to Berenisse’s excellent communications as well as super cute picture updates. Bernisse also asked great and important questions from the beginning, to get to know my dog’s habits and needs, and continues to give me detailed reports about how the day went when I pick my puppy up from her care. My puppy is very obviously excited to return each day which also speaks volumes to me. Berenisse has been flexible with hours of care and in summary, has been a life saver. I would recommend her for both day care and overnight care, as my experience with her attention to detail in those areas has been phenomenal.”

“All went smooth. David, and his young kids, were very nice to my dogs. It was sweet to see the kids engaging so calmly with my small terriers. I got the dogs back tired and thirsty (they went for a good walk before pick up). I would have David (and his family) watch my dogs again.”

About: As a dedicated and responsible animal lover, I understand how important it is to find the right person to care for your furry family members. I share custody of a wonderful 5-year-old, and I rent a room in my home to a tenant who has a 12-year-old blind and deaf chihuahua and a sweet, friendly cat who stays out of the way. This diverse pet experience ensures I’m well-equipped to handle a variety of pet needs. I've been a mom to dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, from a teeny tiny 4lb chihuahua to a 140lb mastiff (who was hilariously scared of the chihuahua!). My heart is big, and I’m a sucker for all creatures. I volunteer at the animal shelter as often as possible, and I foster underage puppies and kittens for the local agency Spark Rescue until they are ready for adoption. With a flexible work schedule, I can easily accommodate your needs. I’m physically fit and active, enjoying hiking and beach outings, but I’m just as happy to chill if that’s what Fido or Fluffy prefers. As a homeowner, I can ensure a stable and safe environment for your pets. I am comfortable with special dietary needs and have experience with litters of puppies and elderly dog care. I’m not afraid to get dirty and have administered insulin shots to a diabetic cat, so I’m not squeamish about medical needs either. I promise to love your fur baby as much as you do! Currently, I work from home part-time, offering me full flexibility and availability to meet your needs with a little notice. I’m all about pets and snuggles, and I will always ensure that any special needs or requests you have are taken care of to the best of my ability! I work from home part-time, with my little one in school and shared custody, allowing me the flexibility to accommodate your pet's needs with a little notice. Whether it's an active day of play or a cozy snuggle session, I'm here to provide loving care for your furry friend. Safety, trust, and a nurturing environment are my top priorities. In my home, pets enjoy a secure, loving space with constant supervision and attention. At your home, I maintain your pet's routine, ensuring comfort and consistency. I am experienced with special dietary needs, medical care, and providing a safe, engaging environment tailored to each pet's needs.

“Collin was wonderful! I was in town for a wedding and traveling with my 9 month old puppy Jackson. Collin watched Jackson during the wedding and sent several pictures and updates throughout his stay! I would recommend booking with Collin!”

About: Pets have always been in my household since I was a child. Growing up, my best friend & I would hang out on his farm on the weekends where I truly connected with caring for pets. My personal activities of meditating and connecting with nature through physical activity help me connect with animals. Pet owners constantly appraise me for seeing there pet friends be calm & tranquil under my care. Leading with your heart makes pet care not a job but a loving experience for the little ones when your away from home. Time management is my strong skill with my administrative experience and can incorporate pet care during my downtimes. Also flexible if a pet has a certain schedule/ routine. Don't believe I can have pets in my household but will be checking in with the app yo disable this service to allow pets in my household.

About: I have lived on a ranch for most of my life and have had many loving animals to raise and take care of and as such I am well equipped for your pets. I am currently looking for additional income to supplement my other part time job. I would however if hired prioritize pet care over my other job. I have three amazing dogs and tons of cats that I care for with love, pets, food, cleaning up their messes, and toys. I love spending time with them at the dog park, taking walks, laser pointers, etc.

“Kim was awesome! Our dog was comfortable with Kim and her dog t from the start. She took him for a hike and sent a picture of him resting afterwards. You can really tell that Kim loves dogs!”

“Friendly, kind, and flexible! I appreciate how well the Meet and Greet went and how all my questions were answered. Really liked that it was just my little pups for daycare those two days ( in addition to their extremely mellow dog). Everything went really well. Definitely recommend!”

“Laurie & her dog Reese were very sweet - came in at the last minute with my dog Lasso for daycare, and Laurie was able to help me. Thank you so much!”

“Natalia provided excellent service and made our girl feel comfortable. Our dog can be sort of standoffish and nervous around new people, but it seems like she had a great time with Natalia during her stay. we will definitely be booking her again thank you for giving us a Moms night out.🌈💕”

“Cheryl and Honey made Winter’s stay fun. Winter was a happy and tired camper after spending 1/2 day with them. I will be using their services in the future.”

About: As an ex-military professional woman in my mid-40s, I bring the perfect mix of discipline, responsibility, and genuine affection to dog care. Dogs thrive when they feel both secure and loved, and I make sure they get both. With experience in Schutzhund training, I have a deep understanding of drive, focus, and structure in working dogs. I’m also confident handling reactive dogs—helping them feel calm, safe, and understood. Over the years, I’ve shared my life with Dutch Shepherds, Anatolian Shepherds, and now my own fuzzy beast, a Chow/Rottweiler mix—so large breeds and strong personalities don’t faze me. Whether your pup needs structured exercise, clear boundaries, or just a steady and reliable companion, I tailor care to their temperament. You’ll get regular updates and photos, so you’ll always know your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for. My mission is simple: happy, balanced dogs and peace of mind for their humans. Training stays consistent, routines stay steady, cats stay mischievous. I’ll love on your pet like they’re my own—providing walks, following your rules, and keeping their training consistent so routines stay on track. Dogs get structure, exercise, and attention tailored to their needs. Cats, on the other hand, make their own rules—so they’ll be free to roam, explore, and enjoy the space exactly as you allow. For me, pet sitting is about blending care, consistency, and companionship, giving your pets the comfort of home even while you’re away. In your home, I follow your rules closely so your pets stay comfortable and routines remain familiar. For dogs, I provide safe one-hour walks that give them structure and exercise. For cats, I make sure they feel secure while still enjoying the freedom to roam, explore, and curl up in their favorite spots. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or mine, their well-being always comes first. I also offer free pick-up and drop-off anywhere in Montecito, Santa Barbara, or Goleta, so you can relax knowing both you and your pets are covered.

“We were so happy with Rebecca!! Gus didn’t want to leave, he had such a blast. She sent me pictures and kept me updated, walked and entertained him all day. Highly recommend!”

“Cambria took such great care of our fur baby! If we are ever in the area again with our pup, would definitely reach out to her. She was very attentive and caring. Our dog also had a great time playing with her puppy, she slept so soundly that night. Thank you again!”

About: I’ve been a pet owner my whole life and have always seen them as a significant part of my family. I have experience in taking care of puppies (4 weeks & up), middle aged dogs, and elderly dogs. My family has always prioritized meeting the needs of all of our pets, and I look forward to doing the same for your fur babies. :) I am currently enrolled in summer courses at UC Santa Barbara, but have plenty of free time within my schedule. I am available in the mornings before 12pm and the afternoons/evenings after 2 pm, monday-thursday. On friday and the weekends I have open availability. I currently live in a fairly small apartment with other housemates so for any overnight requests, I would prefer it to be an in-house service. For requests that are just for the day or a few hours, I would be more than happy to keep your pup safe and entertained in my home.

“Robert is reliable, caring and will be there for your pup to help take care of them when you schedule with him. Working two jobs right now and grateful I found him to help with all the juggling. Definitely recommend 👍🏽 👍🏽”

“Lynn and Marty were so kind to watch my dog Rocket for the day, even though their wonderful dog, Jayce, had recently passed away. They communicated well with me in advance about the situation, and gave Rocket so much love and attention during her visit. This was Rocket's second time staying at Lynn & Marty's little slice of doggy paradise, and it won't be her last!”

About: Hello Families! I love all animals and ready to help care for yours while you're away! I grew up on a farm with my parents, and ever since I can remember, we've always had animals around. They ran a non-profit animal rescue for many years, and this taught me much about the responsibilities of caring for an animal. I was also able to learn about different breeds and their temperaments. Although they are nice to play with, we were also taught that with the pleasurable part, also comes the dirty work. I've cleaned much animal poop in my life! My sister and I have ridden horses since we were young, we've volunteered at different animal shelters, and we have brought injured animals into our home to take care of them. I recently graduated and received my Bachelor's degree. I'm continuing my education, which makes me available to go to your home during weekday evenings or weekends (all day). I also offer boarding at my home (24/7), which is safe and secure. I have several yards for your pet(s) to play and exercise. I can feed, administer medication if needed, exercise, clean litter-boxes, and give your pet(s) the love and attention they deserve! I understand your pet(s) have become part of your family, and I will take care of them as if they were my own! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask! I hope to hear from you soon! Thank you, Mia
