Doggy Day Care Biola

“Derek was great with our Bruce! He is very knowledgeable about puppies and dogs of all breeds. Bruce had a great time at doggy daycare under the care of Derek. Derek was very kind to send updates and pictures and he also summarized each day of Bruce’s stay. He definitely made me feel at ease by asking questions about Bruce’s daily routine and habits. In addition, the tips I received from Derek are invaluable. We will definitely continue to use Derek for future daycare needs.”

About: My work with animals started when I was just 10 years old, volunteering at a family friend’s dog daycare. What began as a childhood passion turned into over 15 years of hands-on experience working with animals of all shapes, sizes, breeds, and temperaments! Over the years, I’ve worked at several dog daycares, volunteered with shelters and rescue organizations, completed an internship at a nonprofit feline shelter and spay/neuter clinic, and worked as an Animal Control Officer. I also have experience in animal behavior and training, with a particular interest in behavioral rehabilitation, socialization, and working with dogs who need a little extra patience or understanding. I remain heavily involved in animal rescue, particularly with Belgian Malinois and German Shepherds, and regularly help foster, evaluate, and rehabilitate dogs in need. At home, my husband and I have quite the little zoo! Our family includes five large dogs (four Belgian Malinois and a German Shepherd), five cats, and some exotic pets. Having such a diverse household has given me extensive experience with different species, personalities, care requirements, and the importance of safely managing a multi-animal home. I’m also trained in pet CPR and first aid, have experience with pet nutrition, and offer basic grooming care, including bathing, nail trims, teeth brushing, and ear cleaning. I’m comfortable administering medications, caring for senior animals, and accommodating pets with special needs or behavioral quirks. I understand that every animal is an individual. Some want to spend the day playing, exploring, and staying active, while others would much rather curl up on the couch and enjoy some company. My goal is to make your pets feel as comfortable, safe, and loved as possible while you’re away. Whether that means extra exercise, enrichment activities, maintaining their usual routine, or making room for one more in bed, I’m happy to accommodate! I know how difficult it can be to trust someone else with your animals, especially when they have unique needs. As someone with a houseful of my own, I completely understand. I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own. A little note for fellow pet professionals: I’m always open to discussing reciprocal pet care arrangements with other experienced, qualified, and trustworthy sitters. Sometimes the best support system is another animal person who understands exactly what goes into caring for our four-legged (and occasionally eight-legged!) family members. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐾 I’m fortunate to work from home while continuing my education and pursuing a career in nursing! I work on-call, after-hours shifts in healthcare, which allows me to remain home for the majority of my workday. Occasionally, I need to step out briefly to see a patient, but these visits are typically short, and pets are rarely left alone for more than a couple of hours. Because of my flexible schedule, I’m able to spend plenty of time with the animals in my care, providing regular potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, playtime, and lots of attention. Caring for animals is already a huge part of my everyday life, so welcoming a few extra furry friends fits naturally into our routine! Safety is always my number one priority when caring for animals! With my background in Animal Control, animal behavior, training, and rescue, I’ve learned just how important it is to provide a safe, structured, and comfortable environment for every pet, regardless of their personality or needs. Our home has a fully fenced yard with plenty of room to run, play, and explore. We also have spare bedrooms, extra crates and kennels, baby gates, and designated spaces that allow us to accommodate different personalities, routines, and comfort levels. Whether your pet enjoys socializing with other animals or would prefer their own quiet space, we’re happy to make accommodations! We’re very intentional about preventing accidents. Food, medications, cleaning supplies, and other potentially hazardous items are kept securely stored to prevent accidental ingestion. Pets are supervised during outdoor activities and interactions with other animals, and we never force introductions or allow unsupervised interactions between resident pets and guests. Our own dogs are crate-trained, which allows us to safely separate everyone whenever necessary. One of the biggest benefits of our household is that someone is almost always home! On the rare occasion we both need to step out, we make sure every animal is safely secured in an appropriate space. I’m also happy to accommodate crate routines, feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions your pet may have. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I take the same approach while respecting their established routines and environment. I make sure doors and gates are secured, food and medications are handled appropriately, and pets receive the attention, exercise, and supervision they’re accustomed to. I understand that trusting someone with your pets is a big deal. As someone with a houseful of animals myself, I know how much peace of mind comes from knowing they’re safe. My goal is to provide the same level of care, patience, and attention to detail that I expect for my own animals, while keeping you updated with photos and messages along the way!

“She was respectful and nice. She communicated very well. When I picked up Loki I can tell he had a good time and a lot of fun. I will definitely book with her again.”

My dog always enjoys the walks I take him on, and I am committed to giving the same level of care and attention to your pets. I have experience caring for my cousins' dogs every summer for two weeks each year. They have consistently been well cared for under my supervision. I love taking care of pets and making sure they have a great time. I feed them, provide water, and always ensure they are happy and stress-free. You can count on me to look after your pets. I let pets out into the backyard to play and take them on frequent walks. I always make sure they are safe and well-cared for.

About: I have 15 years experience, caring for cats and dogs from all walks of life. I have experience administering medicine, and two pets of my own that are quite spunky. I have taken care of animals with special needs and spent many hours volunteering in shelters and animal hospitals. I’ve taken courses on understanding animal behavior and understand the patience that comes with making a connection to your fur babies. I work full-time from home with extreme flexibility. I am usually out and about during the day anyways, and would love to spend some time caring for my communities fur babies! My spunky cat doesn’t really allow for any pet sitting in our home unless it is during the cooler season where your dog can hang out back with my dog. I’m extremely flexible and have experience doing overnight boarding in the owner’s home or doing multiple drop in visits during the day and night. I love sending pictures and videos of playtime and detailed updates of how the visits are going. I use Rover for my own pets so I understand exactly what an owner is looking for in a sitter!

About: We love photography & Halloween! I am Always Petting someone’s Pet. I used to rescue & rehome dogs. I’m a sucker for anything that has 4 legs! Well, all animals really! My poor husband is always getting suckered into saving something! We actually specialize with anxiety & handicapped animals! We rescued an elderly Staffordshire Bull Terrier with dementia. She Passed 7/11/26. I have a very flexible schedule. I live in an 3 bedroom home, with a back yard. we love having pets overnight as long as they don’t chew, scratch, bark or whine in excess! I have Tile floors so some accidents are ok! I don’t use cages, unless you prefer them. When I care for pets in my home I start by laying comfortable beds anywhere and everywhere they feel comfortable sleeping. We enjoy walking and hiking if they do too. We live next to a park! We play ball a lot! We have a very calm environment & we just love cuddles & fur babies! We include them in EVERYTHING. At the moment, my full time job is caring for animals. I board full time. It’s my passion. Anything your animal needs, I’ll do it. I care for pets almost daily. In the summer the teenagers come and cuddle and play, to help. I offer any service needed. I love special needs & elderly animals the most. I have had the privilege to usher elderly animals off, whilst giving them the best last day they could have. Helping families heal. I have many reoccurring clients. I love all pets, like they are my own.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, including dogs, birds, and cats. So I’m very comfortable caring for a variety of pets and understanding their different needs. While most of my experience comes from caring for my own animals and fostering animals from Fresno Humane, I’ve also pet sat for family friends during vacations, making sure their pets are fed, safe, and given attention and care while they’re away. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely care, I treat every pet like my own. I’m patient, attentive, and always willing to follow specific instructions, whether that’s routines, special care, or just giving extra love. I’m also very reliable and communicative, so you can always trust me, give feedback, ask for updates, and know your pet is in good hands. I recently moved back from college and currently have a very open and flexible schedule. Since I’m looking for a reliable, long-term job, pet care fits perfectly into my routine, and I’m available most days and times to help out whenever needed. I’m dependable, easy to reach, and can adjust my schedule to make sure your pets are consistently cared for. I believe pets are most comfortable and secure in their own home environment, so I primarily focus on caring for them in the client’s home where they can stay in their normal routine and surroundings. This helps reduce stress and keeps them feeling safe while their owners are away. If needed, I am also able to care for pets in my home. While my space is smaller and does not include a yard, it is clean, organized, and pet-friendly, with plenty of room for comfort, play, and attention. I make sure they get lots of care, cuddles, and supervision. I also spend a lot of time outdoors myself, so if appropriate and safe for the pet, I can take them outside for fresh air and activity. No matter the setting, my priority is always safety, trust, and making sure each pet feels comfortable, cared for, and loved.

About: Hi, my name is Jenn! I've grown up around animals my entire life. When I am not pet sitting, I foster both cats and dogs, which has given me experience working with senior pets, puppies, kittens, and animals that need extra patience and support. I believe pet care goes beyond basic needs. I take the time to ensure pets feel safe, mentally stimulated, and comfortable. Whether that means positive reinforcement training, enriching play, and giving them extra affection. I also love baking homemade healthy snacks for pets and enjoy learning new ways to ensure your pet is happy. For the next three months, my schedule is flexible. I am available to board pets during the weekdays and weekends. I can accommodate various schedules for people who are vacationing or need a dog walker. I strive to create a calm and fun environment for your pet. Currently, there are no children in my home which allows for a quieter more relaxed setting for pets who may need extra comfort or routine. In my home, I have plenty of space for your pet's needs. I have one dog and two cats that are friendly with other dogs and cats. However, I can also accommodate an additional room or a separate area for your pet. Simply share your preference, and I can accommodate it.
