Doggy Day Care Castle Ranch

“Shanna has kept my girl Kai for daycare on a couple of occasions. Shanna has been very responsive to Kai's needs, and has taken very good care of my girl. Shanna has communicated with me while Kai is with her and has provided me with updates with pictures. I highly recommend Shanna for your pet care needs.”

“This was first time leaving my dog. I was a little nervous since we were in town for my husbands work so I was not familiar with the area, people or just leaving him. Nalani did a great job making it comfortable for me. I took my dog to her two days and it was such a great experience. He did well and Nalani gave him lots of attention. Thank you so much for taking care of my fur baby while we were in town. I highly recommend her.”

“Karla is amazing! She provided overnights before and this time I used her doggy day care service. My dog was so excited to see her and her dogs again, he ran up to her house. Would definitely recommend!”

About: I have always grown up with having a pet in the home. Currently, I have two: a young 1 year old shitzu and a senior 11 year old maltipoo (you can imagine how they get along). I have basic skills on training some tricks. My true enjoyment is playing with pets. They heal something in me, and I think they know that. I am currently transitioning from being a full-time graduate student to full-time employee. It has been interesting to say the least. That said, my schedule is very flexible! I am on the onboarding process to a part time. However, I am happy to work with any owner to ensure a happy puppy. Unfortunately, I do not have a fenced front yard, so I will take out any pets with a leash for safety. I do have two small house dogs who are very friendly and happy to welcome any new friends.

“Caryna was very nice and took very good care of our pets. She sent us updates throughout the day and answered our questions promptly”

About: I’m a dedicated 21 year old dog lover who currently cares for two rescued female puppies. They are friendly and fixed :) Raising young shelter dogs has given me hands-on experience with puppy routines, socialization, basic training, exercise, and lots of patience. I understand the importance of consistency, positive reinforcement, and creating a safe, comfortable environment for pets. Growing up, I also owned a Chihuahua and spent time dog walking for others ever since I was a kid, which helped me learn how to work with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with active puppies, shy dogs, and dogs that need extra attention and reassurance. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply a caring companion while you're away, I’m committed to making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I currently work part-time as a delivery driver, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to stay close to home throughout the day. Because of that, I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, exercise, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I care for my own two young dogs every day, so pet care is already a major part of my routine. When I'm not working, I spend time walking, training, playing with, and caring for them. My flexible schedule allows me to adjust my day around the needs of the pets in my care and make sure they receive the attention, supervision, and affection they deserve. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets. In my home, dogs have access to a large, securely fenced yard where they can play, exercise, and explore safely under supervision. I also have a large crate available for dogs who are crate-trained or need a quiet place to relax. If a dog needs their own space, I can separate them using a dog gate and provide a comfortable area in my home where they can rest safely. I always monitor interactions between pets and make sure each dog is comfortable and stress-free. When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions. I believe consistency helps pets feel secure and comfortable while their owners are away. My goal is to provide a safe, calm, and caring environment where every pet feels at home.

About: I am a Fear Free certified veterinary technician of 13 years who grew up in the show dog world (AKC) before getting into rescue as an adult. Throughout my long-lived animal career I have participated in puppy/kitten/basic obedience training, behavioral rehabilitation, dog sport training, senior care, care for animals with extreme medical needs, and owned/operated a group play doggie daycare. My jobs, hobbies, and passions are all centered around animals and I can't wait to bring that passion to you! I am home full-time, and available for puppies and animals with heavy needs. I have a fairly set schedule for all of the pets in my care, and that level of routine provides comfort to even the most nervous of pups. I am the only Fear Free pet carer in Bakersfield! I provide comforting classical music as well as calming pheromones in the sleeping spaces to make their stay as stress-free as possible. I have a fenced yard and never leave dogs together unsupervised. I do not provide an environment suitable for animals with a history of dog aggression. Small dogs I can be more flexible with, as their attitude usually comes from a place of fear and that is something I can work with for the little guys.

“Caroline was able to take our Button at the last minute (literally less than 10 hours notice!) for day care after she showed signs of anxiety being alone in our AirBnb. Button was treated like a little Disney Princess. We’re so thankful for finding someone to ease the stress and worry of traveling with fur babies.”

“Haley was a very thoughtful, flexible sitter for Jethro. He can be a handful at times, but she was great at understanding his (and our) needs while we were out of town. She is trustworthy and goes the extra mile to make sure your dog is comfortable, and updated throughout the day without needing to be asked. I’d recommend her if you are looking for someone to trust with the security of your home, and safety and happiness of your animals.”

“Great Communication. Very freindly. Bird was very happy and was very exhausted. Thank you for accommodating our schedule.”

“Brandan is great with our one year old fur baby! Simba has separation anxiety, but Brandan stays patient with him and attends to his needs to make him comfortable. We appreciate that he is flexible with our schedule and treats Simba like family. Simba is always excited to go to daycare as he starts to show excitement when we approach Brandan’s home and runs up to his door! If you are looking for someone who is compassionate and trustworthy; Brandan is the one!”

I’ve been dog sitting friends dogs the last few years to help them out, this year I’ve been dog sitting for friends of friends.

About: I’ve had pets of all kinds ever since I was a kid. I grew up around livestock and showed pigs through 4-H. I’ve never had a dog-less household, and I strongly believe every dog is a lap dog. I would love to get to know and spoil each and every one of your pups, while keeping you updated every step of the process. Although I only have one review on my profile, I have been taking care of friends’ and family’s pets for years. I guarantee a 5 star experience for you and your pets. I am currently self-employed, so I am extremely flexible when it comes to my schedule. Just let me know what you need, and we can make it happen! I have a fenced in yard, with two of my own indoor/outdoor dogs. There are also 2 indoor/outdoor cats, so no dogs that could put them in danger.
