Doggy Day Care in Capitola

“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.”

“Yajaira is amazing, communicative and wonderful. She would give us updates with messages and pictures. She made it feel very safe to have our dog in her care. Would highly recommend.”

“Jenna was able to take in my dog last minute, you can really tell she loves dogs. She updated me and sent pictures of my girl while she was staying with them! I would definitely recommend and would book again. ❤️”

“Nancy was a dream come true. Our puppy wasn’t feeling well when we dropped her off and Nancy welcomed her with open arms and kept us updated throughout the day. I felt like our dog was in the best hands possible to take care of her when we couldn’t.”

“Nieves is such a nice person! Our dog Buddy doesn’t usually warm up to people very quickly, but he was best buds with Nieves from the get go. She and her grandkids got along with Buddy like Mac and cheese. We really appreciated her taking him for the day so that we could go for a long mountain bike ride. We highly recommend her to any dog parent! She’s fantastic!”

“Karen has kept my newly adopted shelter terrier dog numerous times and I can’t say enough for her care for him. He was reticent at first without me, but after the very first visit, anytime we drive near her street he starts jumping all over the car to get out to see her. She gives him lots of exercise and love, and herself is a very warm and likeable person. I recommend her highly.”

About: I am attending school at UCSC for legal studies and have a robust knowledge of dog parks, dog-friendly beaches and trails from Santa Cruz to the City! If you’d like to socialise your dog, you’re in luck because I have a 10-month-old baby 🐾 of my own. We have tons of doggo friends for your pooch to meet if you choose, and no matter what, your dog is getting top-tier handling and care when you trust working with me! If there are behaviours you’d like to work on or would like me to be aware of, please do not hesitate to reach out, and we can discuss them further. I am available for full time pet care and when school resumes come the New Year, I will be available part time + still available to board if needed. There has not been an hour where I have not been in the company of 1 or more dogs since June 2024 I have a fenced yard for the dogs to go potty and run uninhibited. I have a small scale toy operation which means the dogs will have plenty to keep them occupied and if he/she would like to go home with their favourites, we can arrange for that too. I am capable of pickup and drop off as well as supervised visits to the park, creeks, the beach, trails, etc.

“Yu and her family are AMAZING!! I feel so lucky she lives so close and will go to her for all dog care! They went above and beyond , taking Augie to the beach and park and sending lots of update photos, he had so much fun and i never worried about him, knowing he was in great hands. Highly recommend! :)”

“Jacob and Leilani had a fun day. He’s a sweet, intelligent guy that has great tips and calm energy. I feel that’s exactly what she needed was that perfect match! I was so glad to find Jacob and that he was available within a day. That is a rarity! He had Leilani run as much as she wanted. She’s super happy! Thanks Rover and Jacob! Leilani’s Dad”

“My dog had a great time with Shane for 3 consecutive days of doggy daycare during a couple long work days. He was able to play in the backyard all day and seemed happy and tired every evening.”

Guillermo brought my dog for several walks everyday and send me pictures. My dog came back home tired lol. He's very responsible as well! My dog learn several tricks from him. He's the best rover I've met. I go travel a lot. I will definitely come back if I travel.”

“We are from out of town and rebooked with Nohemi. We knew we could rely on her and our fur baby would be in great hands. He got exercise, played, and then had a chill day while we enjoyed the boardwalk. She is amazing and my baby came home happy. Can't ask for any better!”

About: We're a family of 2 kids, 2 dogs, 1 cat and 2 guinea pigs. I work from home full-time as an Accountant and have my dogs with me almost 24/7. They are my best friends and co-workers. They go in the car almost everywhere. Walks are always part of our days. We'd love to have more dogs which is why we're opening our home to you! I work full-time from home. Our dogs are always with us. They are part of our daily activities, anywhere from driving the kids to school or running errands. We own our home and have a fully fenced yard. We have two dogs of our own who love having doggy friends over to play. We have a large crate in the living room but it's always open for them to come and go freely. Could be used for a crate trained dog, if that's more comfortable for the dog.

“Echo had a great day with Hannah! She played fetch with Echo in her yard and took her on a hike near her house. Hannah met all of Echo's high energy puppy needs. Would book again!”
