Doggy Day Care Cortez

About: I’ve had dogs as pets since I was a baby. I have two chihuahuas that are 10 and 11 years old. I’ve had them since they were 8 weeks old and they are my babies. They are so spoiled and loved and my whole world. I’m currently a stay at home mom to my step daughter. We usually have her Wednesday-Thursday, Friday-Monday. My day depends on what I have scheduled, it’s very fluid and open. I start my day by scooping the cat litter box, letting my dogs outside to potty, taking care of and feeding my beta fish, opening windows and watering plants, and then making meals for my two cats and two dogs. Our step daughter loves animals and loves to help care for ours. I am at home majority of my day and spend a lot of time with my animals. I walk my two dogs everyday and make them meals. I brush my two cats everyday and give them enrichment activities. I spend the day cuddling with my dogs too. At my clients home, I would follow the directions provided to me as well as using my own discretion when necessary to provide the ultimate care. Your pets will be treated and loved like they are my own.

About: I have been an animal lover since I can remember. I have experience with cats and dogs of all sizes. It’s always been a passion of mine to take care of animals. I have dreamed of working with animals since I was young. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I am experienced in providing oral medications for dogs as well. Many friends and family members have relied on me to walk, bathe, feed and take care of their pets. Animals have always had a special place in my heart. I am available everyday of the week to walk, (I have two kids, so if the pups are kids friendly, I can bring my kids. If not kid friendly, I am available at 6pm or anytime after). I am available to dog sit (daily care or overnight) Friday-Mondays as of right now. My listing states I need two days in advance for a booking, but I understand sometimes things come up that we do not expect and people need services last minute. Please do not ever hesitate to reach out. Safety is my number one priority. We live on two and a half acres and have a lot of room for animals to play and explore. I do not leave my dogs unattended outside and I would not leave your dog alone outside either. I am very cautious with my dogs and I would give the same attention and cautiousness to any dogs under my watch as well. I always leash the dogs I care for when I take them outside, whether that’s to go for walks or just to go potty. I have plenty of toys and I always monitor my dogs when they play with them. I dispose of any toys that they tear into to make sure they do not ingest any parts of the toy. I have many dog beds and room inside for dogs to run and play. I do not mind animals on my furniture, I prefer them to be with me. My hallway is gated off as well, in case your dog has a special diet and needs to be fed separately. I also use this area for dogs to sleep at night if they are not crate trained. I tend to do separate feedings anyways just to be safe. My dogs are like my children and they get treated that way. I would do the same for my clients pets as well. The difference between taking your fur babies to a kennel and me is that I am home almost all day long, meaning your babies will get constant love and attention. Most kennels charge additionally for walks, one on one play time, and even group play. I spend time with my dogs (and those I care for), majority of everyday, until the late hours at night. I have two babies, my son is over a year old and my daughter is 8 months old. I do not leave them unattended with any dogs, not even my own. I do ask for you to let me know if your dogs are kid friendly. Even for dogs that are kid friendly, I am still extra cautious around children. It is better to be safe than sorry. This being said, that does not mean I will not give your fur babies the care and attention they need. I still do with my three fur babies everyday.

“Alessandra took great care of my dog while I was at work today. I appreciated her flexibility when I booked on short notice. I have confidence Sansa will be well taken care of when she stays with her during our upcoming vacation.”

About: Always had dogs. Lost my rescue dog at 19 years. Sit/board a separation anxiety prone dog. Worked at a small animal hospital for 3 years. I am retired, so very flexible with most hours and days. I am open to overnight stays with a cat friendly dog. And I like having a dog sleep with me. Large fenced back yard. I enjoy walking dogs; no dogs running loose in my neighborhood. Very careful if I go out the front door. Have two indoor cats but they ignore the dog that occasionally boards with me.

“Alana is super kind and with patience. Our dogs are so happy with her!!!”

“Forrest is the REAL dog whisperer! Our girls had a great time with Forrest - and made sure to tell him (a LOT - all day). We really liked the photos he sent us and how flexible he was with our crazy schedule. We look forward to booking him again tomorrow for our next tour of Yosemite.”

About: Hello! I'm Jon, and I've been a dog owner since childhood. I've also been a competitive utility dog sport trainer for the last 10 years. Experience includes training in scent work, competitive sport, dock diving, obedience, environmental conditioning, and more. Visitors are integrated into the typical routines, where safe & appropriate to do so. I can easily modify schedules to accommodate additional needs such as medications or special diets. The home is on a half acre of fenced property. Your dog will receive their attention and enrichment in a safe environment. To this end, I have instituted the following guidelines for the safety of both clients and our personal dogs: Your dog(s) will be out on a 1-on-1 basis. If determined that your dog is stable, and has a play style that meshes well with one of our personal (and stable) dogs, they may have play time with those dogs (with your permission) only. I utilize a structured, positive/neutral introduction and do not force any interactions. I also require all visitors to be crate trained. Some visiting dogs are fearful or simply do not wish to interact with other dogs, and I provide them with the opportunity to be free from such interactions. We do accept dogs that are not crate trained, with a special care fee, which covers extra time to work with your dog to have a positive experience with crate time.

“Tracey is amazing! She is so attentive to our dogs and we love getting picture and video updates from her 😊”

About: I have always been told I'm naturally great with any animal. I have experience working in a boarding facility/daycare with dogs, and cats for a little over two years. My dream since I was 4yrs old is to be a veterinarian! I'm working part-time currently so I have open availability throughout the week, from 8am-4pm! I am also flexible and am willing to work other times as well. Always making sure to watch body language, keep wherever it is I am pet-sitting very clean. I always pick up after myself and the pets. I am very calm, and attentive, and live in a quiet house!

About: I have a 6 month old baby and a Malamute/Husky mix female. I would prefer to take care of dogs who are dog/ kid friendly and also potty trained. My dog is treated like a princess and so will your dog. If you decide to do boarding your dog will be sleeping inside. I have a huge backyard where it can exercise and a near by park is less than 5 minutes away. I am willing to pick up if you are near my location. I can assure you your dog will be well taken care of. Also, if your dog is not dog friendly I can make arrangements. I have a big front yard where you dogs can exercise and active- it is not fenced, however your dog will never be unattended.. Please let me know if that is a problem. There is always someone home. Either my husband or my self. We have opposite schedules, so your fur baby will never be alone in the house. I have an unfenced yard with plenty of land. We have built an outdoor kennel to keep them of they a are not trained to be off the leash.

“Amazing care! My dog Rocket loved his stay and loved the surprise playdate 😆. Loved recieving updates and pictures of my dog's stay! 100/10. Thank you so much!”

About: I have been pet sitting for over four years, caring for both cats and dogs. I started with cats, managing their litter boxes, feeding them, and providing companionship. As I gained experience, I transitioned to dog sitting, where I handled walking, feeding, and grooming. I also go the extra mile by watering plants and bringing in the mail for owners. My family, friends, and clients have consistently trusted me with their homes, personal belongings, and, most importantly, their pets. I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and they naturally seem to gravitate toward me. If you’re looking for a responsible, caring, and respectful pet sitter, I am the right choice for you. I don’t have a set schedule but I plan on taking care of amazing animals every week. I am available when needed and make adjustments easily. Your animals are in great hands 😁 I completely understand how important it is to feel confident and secure when leaving your pets in someone else’s care. Rest assured, I take the responsibility of caring for your animals very seriously. With over four years of experience in pet sitting, I’ve built strong, trusting relationships with my clients, and their pets have always been my top priority. I will ensure that your pets are safe, happy, and comfortable in a loving environment. Whether it’s sticking to their routines, giving them plenty of attention, or making sure they feel at ease, I am committed to providing the best care possible. I also respect your home and personal belongings, so you can be confident knowing everything will be in good hands. Please feel free to reach out with any specific needs or concerns you may have. Your pets’ safety, well-being, and happiness are my primary focus, and I am here to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Thank you for trusting me with your beloved pets! Warm regards, Alonzo Easter

About: Since an early age, I’ve helped my family provide care to our numerous dogs and cats. With experience with the Monks of New Skete, NY, and their world-renowned breeding and training programs, I bring a unique perspective to the world of pet care. As a full time walker/pet sitter and dog trainer-in-training, your fur babies will never lack care or attention. I am able to provide 24/7 care for all pets in my care. With a clean, loving home and an abundance of roaming room in our fenced backyard, your dog or cat has the room to stretch and exercise in safety. (Cats are always kept indoors during visits.)

“Paovanary was super helpful ! My dog shepherd has extreme anxiety to people and she made him very comfortable very fast , something we have trouble with at home with company . She did a fantastic job at medicating him and was able to get shepherd to open up to the rest of her family ! we had to make a last minute reservation for a pet sitter and she was very quick and convenient, thank you Paovanary so so much !”

About: I’m an animal lover, my family has always had pets in the house, and we were taught at a young age how dogs communicate and that it takes respect and great care to earn a dogs trust. I've helped raise two family dogs before I left to college, and once the pandemic started and school went virtual my girlfriend and I adopted our very first dog of our own- a six month old Siberian husky named Kaiya. Kaiya is now one year and seven months old and enjoys exercising with me and socializes very well with other dogs. Pet care fits very well into my weekly routine. Since I'm a full-time student and currently on summer break, I will be 100% available to cater to whatever your pet may need! My dog Kaiya loves to play and get exercise, its the foundation of her breed to work hard and get rewarded doing so. Some of our favorite exercise includes walking, jogging, tug of war, and her favorite, longboarding! Kai and I longboard in the mornings before the heat comes in, she usually wakes up anywhere around 6:45-8 to let me know she needs to relive herself outside and we go then if its not too hot. We also like to frequent the new dog park here in Los Banos. My home is fenced and has a gate in front of the driveway that keeps larger dogs from getting out. No need to worry because there is a suitable backyard with a secured fence that keeps the medium to small breeds from getting out. There are two main sections inside the house where the dogs play; the main room which is a Livingroom/kitchen combo, and the garage that has been converted to another living space that I call the workroom. The workroom is air conditioned and insulated so it keeps cool and shares a door with the main room. Kaiya likes to hang out usually where I am and I'm most often in the workroom but when she needs her space I'll find her on the dog-allowed couch in the living room. Food and water bowls stay in the living room while treats are given anywhere a good boy or girl is to be found :)

About: I’ve trained puppies, cared for senior dogs, and was professionally trained to groom dogs and provided care to dogs of all shapes and sizes for five years! I’m currently working remote for a medical company, so I’ll have plenty of time to give your pet plenty of quality time, attention, and care! I live in a very dog-proofed, 2 bedroom apartment complex with lots of playing room. I’m located right next to a large park and a couple feet away from a gated dog park!

About: I have taken care of my siblings dogs when they didn’t have time to when I was younger. Then around 15 my uncle had these dogs that would always make baby’s and he would give away so I would always come over and take care of the litter. I am mainly busy Thursday- Sunday. I am cutting hair starting up my clientele and I get the busiest during these days due to high demand for the weekend outings. I simply try and get them accustom to my smell and energy around them. I keep it calm and simple, some dogs are easier to win over than others. I’ll just let the natural trusting process take its course and slowly catch a bond !

“Jina made me and rocky feel comfortable from the start. Even though he was a little hesitant at first he warmed up with her my the time I was heading out from dropping him off. She kept me updated and sent pictures of him. She also responded fast to my messages when I’d text her. Jina took very good care of rocky we would definitely book again!”
