Doggy Day Care Bella Lago

“My furbaby has really bad separation anxiety and Lisa was so sweet and wonderful that the next day he ran right up to her excited to spend another day with her. She's loving and will treat your baby like her own!”

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I feel deeply connected to them. I’m naturally intuitive to their needs and believe that every animal deserves patience, kindness, and a safe place to feel loved. I’ve had pets since I was very young, and nearly all of them have been strays, rescues, or animals that nobody else wanted. I come from a family with a soft heart for animals that are struggling, so caring for them has always been a part of who I am. My journey with animals has been long, meaningful, and full of unforgettable experiences. I’ve cared for playful puppies, gentle senior dogs and cats, very sick animals, and many who came with fear, trauma, and trust issues. I’ve learned that every pet has its own story, and with patience, consistency, and love, they can learn to feel safe and happy again. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, elderly, or needs a little extra understanding, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a calm, loving environment where they feel secure, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I work remotely part-time and genuinely enjoy having furry companions by my side. My guests spend the day with me in my home office, enjoying plenty of attention, affection, and companionship. I have the flexibility to provide multiple walks, potty breaks, meals on their regular schedule, medication if needed, playtime, enrichment, and, of course, lots of hugs and belly rubs. Every pet is different, so I tailor my day to meet their individual needs and help them feel relaxed, loved, and at home. My furry guests get to hang out with me in my cozy home office while I work, so they're rarely alone and always have company throughout the day. I live in a cozy condo located in a safe, gated, dog-friendly community. While I don't have a backyard, I do have a secure balcony, and we're surrounded by beautiful walking trails and a large park just steps away. I tailor each pet's schedule to their individual needs. During the summer, we enjoy walks early in the morning before the heat sets in, a midday potty and stretch break, another walk in the late afternoon before sunset, and one final potty break before bedtime. Meals are served according to each pet's regular feeding schedule, and because I only work part-time, I have plenty of time for cuddles, playtime, enrichment, and one-on-one attention. My neighborhood is quiet, safe, and full of friendly people who love seeing our furry visitors out enjoying their walks. My goal is to provide a calm, loving environment where every pet feels safe, comfortable, and treated like family.

“A big thanks for another fun day! My husband and I really appreciate Semran’s attention to detail and TLC for Manny. And we wanted to add an extra star for last week’s care!⭐️ Thank you!”

About: I have been taking care of people’s pets for almost 5 years and loving it! All sorts of dogs will enjoy their stay with me. I have a flexible work schedule so I can be available any hours of the day when needed for dropping off and picking up your pets. I have a large backyard and pets stay indoors. They get potty breaks every 2 hours and away no longer than 3 hours to care for your pets.

About: I once fed a stray dog for a year. I love cats and dogs very much, and so do my families. It’s not easy to be a pet keeper. You have to get up early to walk your dog. I'm a student now, and I'm a reserve navy.so my hours are flexible. I usually get up at 7 and available for the whole day or overnight. We have yard and fenced and pool of available for pet. There is a park very near my home and usually less people all the day

About: I've always had a dog in the house since I was born, but I also have vast experience taking care of the pets of immediate family, as well as a lot of my extended family. I've taken care of dogs, cats, reptiles, amphibians, and fish for as long as I can remember. Currently, I'm studying wildlife and animal care at school and have experience with internships where I handle animals. I'm currently working part time, but only around 4-8 hours a week, so I have lots of time to take care of pets. I'm at home for the majority of the day, and I often take long walks during the day that I would love to bring dogs on. I also have a car and everything in my life is in close proximity to my house, so if I'm ever not at home I can come right back very soon. I have a fenced yard and several parks nearby my house that I can take dogs to. I have no dogs in the house but I'm happy to board many if necessary. I can crate dogs if necessary but I don't have to, they're allowed to have free reign of the house if the owner is okay with it. Dogs are allowed on the furniture but again if an owner requests they not do that then that's great too!

“Jacob was very accommodating and quick to answer any of my questions. Very easy Going and has a nice house to accommodate my golden retriever. Highly recommended services. He is kind, professional and flexible.”

About: I have extensive, hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals, ranging from household pets to farm and ranch animals. I grew up on a 7-acre property where I was constantly surrounded by animals, which gave me a strong foundation in animal care, behavior, and responsibility. I also spent time as a competitive horseback rider, which provided additional experience working closely with horses and other large animals. Alongside farm experience, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds, as well as cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, and other small animals. I currently have two large senior dogs—a Boxer and a Shepherd/Husky mix—who I’ve raised since they were puppies, giving me experience with everything from early training to senior care. I’m familiar with the unique care needs of smaller animals as well. I also have a two-year-old daughter who is very gentle and animal-loving, and she enjoys being around and helping with daily pet care and walks when appropriate. Because she will often be with me, I kindly ask that you let me know if your pets are comfortable around children so I can ensure a safe and positive experience for everyone involved. My goal is always to provide safe, loving, and reliable care so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away, knowing your pets are treated like family. My schedule is flexible since I am a stay-at-home mom caring for my two-year-old daughter. This allows me to provide consistent attention and care throughout the day, with availability for morning, afternoon, and some evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. Because I am home most of the time, I am able to adjust my routine to accommodate feeding schedules, walks, check-ins, and any special care instructions your pet may have. I prioritize reliability and communication, so you’ll always know when I’m arriving and how your pet is doing. While I do have my daughter with me, I am intentional about only accepting bookings where I can ensure a safe, calm, and positive experience for both your pet and your home. Whether caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my top priorities are safety, trust, and creating a calm, comfortable environment. I make sure each pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, litter box care, and any special instructions. I take time to understand each animal’s personality and needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free for them. In client homes, I treat the space with the same respect I would my own—keeping everything clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. I am reliable, communicative, and always mindful of both the pet’s comfort and the owner’s peace of mind. In my own home, pets are cared for in a structured, calm environment alongside my two senior dogs. I maintain a clean and organized space where animals can feel safe and relaxed. My goal is to build trust with both pets and their owners by providing consistent, attentive, and compassionate care every time.

“Jennifer (and her husband, Chris) were such wonderful caretakers to our dog, Odi! She was so receptive to texts and sent multiple pictures throughout the day to keep me updated on how he was doing. I honestly think he was a little bummed to come home after all the fun he had exploring, walking and playing with their sweet dog, Harper. I'm very grateful to have found them and Odi will be thrilled with another visit someday.”

“Betty was great with Bron. He loved hanging out with her for the day. He was sad to leave to her when we picked him up. Betty has a spacious fenced in outdoor area that Bron loved exploring. He wiped when we picked him up. Would definitely go back to Betty again!”

“Erica is fantastic ! We were initially concerned about leaving our 5 month old puppy Lola for one week, but Erica quickly disseminated our concerns by demonstrating her knowledge and experience of dogs/puppies. She understands their needs and is good at meeting those needs. Our high energy, stubborn puppy learned how to "sit" under Erica's care! Need I say more ! Erica also provided us with daily updates/photos which really helped us enjoy our vacation without any concerns. When we arrived home, it was obvious that Lola too was pleased with Erica.”

About: I have more than 25 years of animal care experience including assisting veterinarians with conducting health examinations and providing supportive care. I also have extensive experience with shaping and modifying behavior through the use of operant conditioning techniques and positive reinforcement. I’m recently retired and available for pet sitting 24/7/365. I stay active by walking dogs around the neighborhood and riding my mountain bike through out San Diego County. Your pets will have inside/outside access to our home. A large fenced in backyard and covered patio provide plenty of room and shade for recreation or relaxation. Our home is furnished with dog “friendly” furniture and provides a safe comfortable space to relax and snooze away the afternoon.

“Marielle was amazing. I'm pretty sure my dog jackson had a hard time deciding which home he preferred by the time we left. She's a true dog lover, flexible, and trustworthy. She will be my first choice when visiting san diego.”

About: Hello🤗! I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a little girl. I’ve honestly always had some type of dog in my life. My first dog was a schnauzer, and I cared for her all the way into her senior years, so I’m comfortable with both playful pups and older dogs who need extra patience and attentiveness. During COVID, our lab had a litter of six puppies, so I have hands on experience with puppy care, feeding schedules, and managing lots of energy in the cutest way possible. I’ve also been around cats for many years. Before I moved away, my family rescued a Siamese kitten who still needed milk from her mother. We actually found her in a tennis court, and helping care for her from such a young age taught me how attentive, patient, and gentle you have to be with cats. Since then, I’ve become very comfortable understanding different cat personalities I’ve come across, from shy and cautious to playful and affectionate. Recently, a friend trusted me to stay in their home and care for their dog for a week and a half, and that experience made me realize how much I genuinely enjoy this. It did not feel like a job. It felt natural and fulfilling. That is when I decided to take pet sitting more seriously. I am also very active and love going on morning runs, so high energy dogs are more than welcome. I enjoy structured walks, playtime, and making sure every pup gets the physical and mental stimulation they need. I am located in a very dog friendly neighborhood with wide sidewalks, grassy areas, designated walking paths, and convenient potty stations. It is a safe and spacious environment for structured walks and comfortable exploration. Above all, I am attentive, reliable, and big on communication. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, loved, and cared for while keeping you fully at ease. I currently have a flexible schedule and can dedicate time to caring for your pets throughout the day. I make sure feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins fit naturally into my routine so your pet receives consistent care and attention. I’m reliable with schedules and always prioritize your pet’s comfort and routine while you’re away. Safety and comfort are my top priorities when caring for pets. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and routines. I pay attention to pets’ behavior and needs to make sure they feel secure and relaxed. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I maintain a calm and clean environment where pets can feel safe and cared for.

“It has been a pleasure working with Janet, she is very sweet polite and easy to communicate with. From the very first day of meeting her I felt safe knowing that my puppy would be in her care. I look forward to working with her in the future.”

“Dama was such a wonderful dog sitter, she was so communicative and I felt completely comfortable leaving our high strung Belgian boy with her while we enjoyed days out in San Diego (visited from Northern Nevada). Thank you for taking such good care of our boy!”

Caitlin S.

“Thank you so much! Stephanie and her husband were so great! I had the opportunity to meet your husband at the time of pick up. My sister had to do the pick up but she said you are extremely friendly. My puppy is happy to walk into your house! It’s super clean and it’s nice that they both enjoy taking care of my puppy. Maple will be returning 😁”

About: Hey! My name is Chris… also known as Cherry’s Dad. I am very enthusiastic about people’s pets, have had dogs my entire life and will continue to be a dog person forever and ever. Fun fact: my mom owns a dog grooming shop in LA! I’ve worked a lot in the shop and have handled literally hundreds of pet dogs. After 15 years in corporate, I’m now a Business owner with flexibility in my schedule. I walk my own pet 3 times a day, and frequently take breaks to complete my put duties! At home, I pay attention to the dogs signals and adjust accordingly - are they happy? Nervous? Thirsty? Whining? I speak pretty good dog by listening. During walks, I never allow strangers, especially children, to approach someone’s dog I am in control of who isn’t mine.

About: With over 15 years of experience, I am a reliable and compassionate pet sitter who truly loves caring for animals. I treat every pet like my own, ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well-cared for while you’re away. I am currently working from home and have a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to take care of animals during the day and night. I always take care of animals like they are my own and give them the love they deserve. While I’m in your home, I am very respectful and always leave things clean and tidy.
