Doggy Day Care in Davenport

“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.”

Amanda Z.

“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.”

Medina S.

“Julia was amazing and Rio had the best time with her, she's a fantastic communicator and showed Rio so much love. Will absolutely be reaching out in the future.”

“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.”

Dena S.

“We are so thankful to have found Marina to take both of our doggies for the day on our recent trip to Santa Cruz. She was responsive and communicative before and during their stay. Our dogs got a lot of activity, love, and attention. We got pictures and updates that made us feel comfortable about their care. Thank you so much Marina!”

“My Goldendoodle, Livingstone, loves his daycare visits with Daniela and Ronan. They take great care of him, and are extremely accommodating with me. Plenty of photos and videos, and Livingstone ate well and got plenty of outside play time. Thank you both!”

About: My husband and I have a house with a fenced yard, dog door, and plenty of toys for dogs. Our dog is very friendly to other dogs and loves to play. We usually take at least two walks per day (morning and afternoon) and play with the doggies as well. We have been dog owners for nearly 15 years and have dog sat for friends for longer. Most of our recent dog sitting has been for our friends' dogs, but we have also fostered dogs. We love dogs and our dog loves doggy friends, so we would be happy to watch your pup! One of us is generally home teleworking everyday so the dogs are not left alone. We have experience giving medication and with young and old dogs. We both work full time but have work from home schedules that allow one of us to be home with the dogs everyday. We generally do a morning 15-20 minute walk and an evening 45 minute walk. I have a fenced yard, dog door, and friendly dog to keep your dog company. We also can take your dog out for bathroom breaks through the day since someone is nearly always working from home.

“Lucia was awesome with Squid. So attentive to his needs and she brought him back to us incredibly tired. That’s hard to do!!”

“Consistently provides loving care for my dog- 2nd time and happy as the first. Ariel is very attentive to instructions and also appreciate her flexibility- she has great communication too. My dog is very happy after staying with her all day. Awesome!”

Sylvia W.

“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: While I may not have years of formal experience, I’ve always been the go-to person for caring for my family’s and friends’ pets. I naturally connect with animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them—especially going for walks and making sure they feel safe, loved, and calm. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, kindness, and attention to their unique personality. What sets me apart is my calm energy, empathy, and deep respect for animals. Whether it’s a playful pup or a shy senior dog, I adapt to their pace and needs. My schedule is currently very flexible, so I’m available most mornings and afternoons throughout the week. I enjoy starting my day with a walk and would love to include your pet in that routine. Whether it’s a daily walk or a few times a week, I can adapt to your pet’s needs and your preferred times. make sure each walk is safe, relaxed, and fun for your dog. I follow your instructions and treat your home with care if I need to pick up or drop off your pup. My goal is to make them feel happy and comfortable every time.

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.

“Jenna and her family took great care of Dudley for his first day with her. He really liked their dog and seemed to warm up to everyone quickly. He was nice and tired from lots of play and he even got a nice brush and fluff! I appreciated them taking him very last minute - we will definitely rebook! Thank you again!”

“Amber and her adorable son took amazing care of 6lb senior Sophie! Great communication before and during the stay. I wasn't sure how Sophie would adjust but Amber has the magic touch and all went incredibly well. I'd definitely book with Amber again!”

“Lauren was a great sitter and took great care of my boy! She sent me updates throughout the day and I could tell he was a happy dog. Highly recommend!”

We are now "empty nesters". I am semi retired and have a very flexible schedule and lots of love to share with your dog. I offer the following. •Dog walking and drop-in visits • Overnight care and boarding at my home • A safe, fully fenced backyard for play and exercise • And plenty of love, attention and play time Your dog will be treated like part of the family while they're with me. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I always take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m semi retired and my schedule is very flexible. I can accept most requests with very little notice. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine with Max I have a fenced yard thats perfect for outdoor play, lounging and training if needed. We have an incredibly kind and loving 5 year old Saint Bernard , “Max”. You always have the option to request that Max be kept in a separate area from your dog if you prefer.

“Karen was a tremendous help with my need for a day sitter. She is a compassionate human and my Callie warmed right up to her. She let me know her day with a couple updates and activity log which I appreciate. Will contact her again for more day sits! Thanks Karen!”

“I am over the moon about Daisy's full-day stay with Shannon and her family! I knew that Daisy had a great day because she fell fast asleep on the way home, and while she was happy to see me at pick-up, I could also tell she really liked her hosts. She went back and forth greeting me and going back to Shannon or her husband to get her head scratched; there was big tail wagging going on there! Shannon is certainly knowledgeable and experienced in caring for dogs, responsible, kept my pup safe, and supported Daisy's quirks and needs. She and her family followed my requests and instructions perfectly. Shannon sent pictures, which my husband and I so appreciated, and was responsive and clear in all her communications. She was flexible when I requested a time change for drop off and was fine when I wanted to come a bit earlier than scheduled for pick up. Daisy will be very excited, and I will be very happy & confident leaving her again with Shannon ~ I highly recommend her to care for your pet! You get her and her wonderful family!”
