Doggy Day Care in Ballena

About: Was blessed to grow up with dogs and also care for friends' and other peoples' furry family members in our community. My family has a wonderful home and property made for your doggy vacations. They can enjoy both time inside our home as well as the beautiful dog play area outside which is fully gated with coyote rollers, trees for shading, a couple sheds (one w/ AC), and fully turfed. They'll enjoy this area for playing fetch, tug of war, running around, along with just having some relaxation in the safe outdoors. Also, if they like walks, they can enjoy some of our own family walks. Since we homeschool and work from home, we are ready to provide 24 hour care while maintaining your furry family member's normal everyday routine - from when they wake up, eat, play, potty and bedtime. We love to match your normal schedule to provide them with a fun and relaxing time during their vacation at our home. Our goal is to provide a Safe, Fun, and Relaxing time for your furry family member. Whether they'll want to relax in our home or play in our beautiful and safe dog play area outside, their safety and comfort is our priority. While your furry family member is with us, they'll be treated and cared for as one of our own family members. Your furry family member gets to live life with our family as we play, do homeschool, and work all from home. We love having them in the house with us and letting them enjoy basking in the sun on the connected patio in our fully enclosed backyard, or taking them up to our Private Dog Park (steps away from our home and backyard) for another place to run around, play fetch and tug-of-war, or enjoy some shade under a couple beautiful trees. Our family of four will each care for them throughout the day - from waking up in the morning to falling asleep in the evening. From the initial Meet & Greet, we learn about your dog - their routines, how they play, how they like to be petted and scratched, how much and how often they eat and need to go potty, what time they wake up and go to sleep, medications they may need, commands and tricks they know that you'd like us to work on with them, and anything else you feel will make their time with us more relaxing and fun. We then do our best to mirror what you shared with us, so they feel safe and secure, and receive the love, care, and attention that they may need.

About: We've had 30 years experience raising and training multiple breeds of dogs mostly in huskies, labs, and akitas we also help with leash walking, sitting, and more. We also bath animals if needed We have kennels in our backyard, and we have several dogs of our own as well as boarding other dogs for friends and neighbors making a daily routine in our lives. Our facilities have automatic food and waters dispensers and insulated kennels. First thing in the morning picking up animal waste and kennel preparation is performed, then dogs are walked, then they are played with by my self if given permission from owners. They will be given opportunity to run free in the big yard and then returned to their personal kennels in the evening. Food and water is provided unless given a specialized diet provided by pets owner.

“What a great family we had watching our pups today! Jack and Scout had a fabulous time getting all kinds of love and attention, the enclosed backyard was fantasticly huge, and our dogs were instantly comfortable with the people and the space. Darylee and I had great communication from start to finish. This was a great experience for our first time using a Rover!”

“Samella was great to work with. She took great care of our dog. She was inquisitive as to our preferences for the dogs care and followed them as we requested. We would definitely book with her again if we were in the area again.”

“Rebecca was fantastic. She let us come into her house, meet the other pups and watch them interact before we took off for the day. Ollie fit in just fine and was nice and tired when we picked him up. Thank you!”

About: I’ve taken care of my dogs since I was old enough to. Over the course of my life I have had many cats and dogs and have always been the one responsible for them. My work schedule has changed, but I’m still available after noon on Sundays. I’m also free in the mornings of Monday and Friday. Additionally, I’m available all day Tuesdays and Saturdays, and I can also help you out from 2-3:30 on Wednesday and until 5 on Thursday. Let me know what works best for you! My big dogs have a huge backyard where they can run and chill while my little dog stays inside most of the time. I feed them based on their needs - the big dogs get more than the small dog, and the small dog only eats once a day. I also play fetch with one of my big dogs while the other tries to attack him when he comes back to me. For clients, I’d bring toys to play with them, go on long walks, and feed them when needed.

“The sweetest! Raquel is so welcoming and gentle with the babies. She’s understanding and flexible, will most definitely be booking with her again!”

“Shea was fantastic with our puppy! He exercised him well and even worked on his leash training.”

About: I am a highly experienced & dependable dog lover who provides a warm, trusted environment for your pups 🤍 BOOKING A MEET & GREET: if you would prefer to meet in person ahead of time, please book this under “drop-in visit” ••• I love dogs and have babysat them since being in high school. My typical day is spent working with about 3-5 dogs. I am a hands-on sitter so the dogs get constant attention and fun. If I am staying at your home, I will go off of the schedule you already have for your pets. I work from home, so the time they’ll need to spend alone is minimal. 😄 l am self employed and never leave the pups by themselves. They will get lots of one-on-one attention from me and potty breaks often! You can be happy knowing your baby is being snuggled and played with in your absence. 🤍🐶

“Oliver enjoyed his time at Doug and Marisol’s home doggie daycare this week! I felt relieved knowing my little guy was being well-cared for while I was at work. They provided Oliver with a cozy environment and his prescription food & treats.”

About: Hi there! I grew up with rabbits (Netherland dwarfs) and have been a personal cat owner (five cats!) for 12 years. I have nursed my cats back from surgery and just honestly adore every kind of animal. I’m great with the more nervous and anxious ones, using patience and care to gain trust. I would love to walk, play with, and care for your fur babies! I have a very flexible schedule and am available for many hours. If you have shift work or a non-traditional schedule, or need me for when you travel, I would love to work with you and your animals! Whatever your home situation is, I will pay undivided attention to them and ensure their best physical and mental health while you are away! I also believe in frequent communication so that you know your fur baby is happy and healthy.
