Doggy Day Care in Bracken Brae

“I cannot recommend Daniela enough for anyone in need of pet care services! I recently had the pleasure of entrusting her with the care of my two puppies for a day, and I couldn't be more impressed with her level of care and attention to detail. From the moment I dropped off my fur babies, it was evident that Daniela genuinely loves animals. She greeted them with warmth and made them feel right at home, which instantly put my mind at ease. Throughout the day, she went above and beyond to ensure that they were comfortable, safe, and happy. Daniela is incredibly sweet, attentive, and responsible. She provided regular updates, including photos and messages, which I greatly appreciated. It was clear that she treated my puppies as if they were her own. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pets with the love and attention they deserve, look no further than Daniela. I will definitely be returning to her for future pet care needs! Thank you, Daniela for your exceptional service and for taking such great care of my puppies!”

About: Hey there Dog Mama! You need a vacation! You've been working hard and deserve a break. Unfortunately, that vacation you want to take cannot include your dog. You booked your trip, and you are stoked. Yet you still lay awake at night wondering, who is going to take care of my dog? Wouldn't it be nice if your dog could enjoy his/her own vacation while you are on yours? But... You don't just trust anybody to care for your dog. You put a lot of time and effort into your dog, daily. You want to know that your dog is having a great time while maintaining good habits Your dream dog sitter understands dog behavior Your dream dog sitter understands dog training Your dream dog sitter is patient and compassionate Your dream dog sitter understands the time and effort it takes to train a dog I get it mama! I see you. I hear you. I feel the same way when it comes to finding a sitter for my dog. Well look no further... REACH OUT TO ME TODAY! I am a lifetime dog owner/lover. In 2009 I discovered my passion for working with dogs and started actively training my dog(s). I fostered dogs for 4 years for a small Pit Bull Rescue. All of my foster dogs received crate training, basic obedience training, and socialization while living with me. I am a Certified Search and Rescue K9 handler with a Certified SAR K9, Zephyr (I trained him) and have certified 1 dog previously (RIP Popeye 2024). I have been involved with K9 SAR Since 2012. I am an active person. I love hiking and walking with dogs! I am a firm believer in incorporating our animals into our everyday lives. I also believe that dogs are at their best when they are given structure (defined play time, exercise/work time, and rest time). Thus, this is what I practice with my dogs and my clients' dogs. I work from home and create my own schedule. I leave home briefly between 7:30am and 8:30 am to take the kids to school/daycare and pick-up between 4:00pm and 5:30pm. I have 1 friendly energetic labrador that is happy to play if your dog wants a playmate. I do not force dogs to interact. If you choose to have your dog mingle with my dog, introductions will be done slowly and interaction will NOT be forced. All dog play/mingle time is supervised by me. Dogs are never left loose together unattended. If dog personalities do not mesh well, I crate and rotate. ~Dogs must be crate trained: I crate dogs at night and when I have to leave home for short periods of time. ~If your dog is well adjusted to car rides (temperatures & activity permitting) I will take your dog with me when I leave the house. ~I feed dogs separately typically in the crate regardless of temperament. ~I closely monitor both of my children (4yrs & 2yrs) when around the dogs and teach them appropriate behavior around dogs (ignore until given permission to interact). ~Dog must be child friendly. The dog must be able to coexist, he/she does not have to interact with my children.

“Kara was wonderful! She was able to take care of Jake last minute, was flexible and easy to work with. Communication was great, got lots of cute photos while she cared for him, and took him on a hike which he loves. Would love to work with Kara again when I am in the area next time. Highly recommend!”

About: I have been dog walking and pet sitting for seven years now! I am very comfortable with exercising, feeding, and caring for multiple dogs or cats at once. I have experience in administering medication when needed. I am knowledgeable about different collars and harnesses, as well as overall safety with dogs in public. I am very active and happy to take your dog on as many walks as you suggest throughout the day. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! Other than pet care, I am a self-employed seamstress which means that my schedule is very flexible. I am happy to help weekdays or weekends and am usually available for last minute requests. My care will always depend on your pets's individual needs, but you can always count on me to provide exceptional care to your animal. I will thoroughly follow any notes from you regarding your pet's eating, medication, & exercise schedules.

“Nikki was better than great. She took such good care of Oliver. Her dogs Whiskey and Pickle were so well behaved and played great with Oliver. She took pictures during the day and sent them to me. I would definitely book with her again. I would never try anyone else in this area unless she was busy.”

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a little girl. Not only family animals but I’ve don’t a lot of care for friends dogs as well. I work part time so I have extra time to give your fur baby some love and exercise as needed. I love to be outside and go on hike or to the beach. I don’t have a fenced yard but your pet will never be alone outside off their leash. I have a big property where they can sniff and run around.

“Gene did a great job in watching my dog Sam. He sent me photos and updates of Sam enjoying his walk and stay. Gene is kind and made me feel comfortable that Sam is safe and well cared for. I will definitely book his services again.”

“Grace has been a godsend for my puppy. She helped set a routine, kept me updated on his activities every single day. He actually ate more food at her place than he does at mine. She took him on good long walks and made his super comfortable. I was at peace on my trip knowing the daily happenings and seeing pictures of him. She truly treated him like her own pet.”

About: I’ve had a dog for 10 years and spent time volunteering in dog shelters, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all personalities. I’m patient, experienced, and always focused on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment for your dog. I have time in the mornings and evenings for walks and check-ins, and my weekly routine is flexible enough to add visits throughout the day. Caring for pets is something I enjoy, so making space for it is easy. I follow your pet routine and any special instructions from owners. I'll always send updates with photos so you know your pet is doing well.

“Sandy really loved her time with Denise and Quarky. She tried to run back into Denise's house as we were putting her in the car, so we'll definitely have to book again, the next time we're in Santa Cruz. Denise was easy to communicate with and drop-off/pick-up was a breeze.”
