Doggy Day Care Del Cerro

About: Hi, I’m Michelle. I’m a longtime dog owner with over 16 years of experience, and I recently returned to Rover after taking a few years’ hiatus to care for our senior pup full-time. We recently said goodbye to our sweet girl, Mika, who was with us for 16.5 wonderful years. Caring for her taught us so much about patience, comfort, and the extra love senior dogs need. While we’re not quite ready to adopt again, we would truly love to share that love with your pup. My husband and I have a calm, dog-free home, which allows us to give your dog our full attention in a peaceful, low-stress environment. We have a special place in our hearts for senior dogs and those who may need gentler care, but we love pups of all ages. Your dog’s days will include two walks (adjusted for age and energy level), playtime or cozy downtime, treats with your approval, and lots of affection and belly rubs. I also provide photo updates and check-ins so you can feel confident your furry family member is happy and well cared for. My goal is simple: to make your dog feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away. A Few Things I’d Love to Know To provide the best care possible, please let me know: • Any special needs or medical considerations • If your dog experiences separation anxiety • Feeding schedule, diet, medications, or allergies • Their daily routine and energy level • Favorite comforts, routines, or quirks Important Note Extended stay: An additional $25 day rate applies if pick-up is over the 24-hour period. Your pup will get plenty of attention. We can go for walks and have some play time. Ofcourse (if your pet is older we will go for shorter walks) They’ll get treats and belly rubs. We have a patio with grass they can go potty anytime :) I have a cozy and fenced patio. They can sit and lay out by the sun. I also have a grassy area for potty breaks anytime the want.

“Buddy's first time and he seemed to adapt quickly. He must have enjoyed himself, not "crazy" anxious to see me. They are so caring and loving as well as keep you in the loop. We will return. Thank you Bill & Todd”

“Whitney was great! Ghost is home sleeping like a baby. I’m glad she enjoyed her time with Whitney, and we have a person we trust to take Ghost to when we need it. I appreciate the updates and communication.”

“Mark has been wonderful to work with. Our dog, Mello, has some anxiety around new environments, so we arranged a test daycare day before the official boarding dates. Mark has been incredibly patient and thoughtful in helping Mello get comfortable. We really appreciate how willing he is to work with us and plan a few more test daycare and boarding days ahead of the actual stay. It’s clear he truly cares about making sure the dogs in his care feel safe and supported. Based on this experience, we’re very confident Mello will have a great time during his upcoming stays.”

“Rebecca was amazing. I requested the night before, and she made room for Pancake the next day. She had an amazing time playing with the other dogs and kiddos at the house and came home to zonk out. Thank you so much for giving her such fun days!”

About: We’re a dog-loving family of four offering a calm, safe place for your pup to feel at home. I’ve had dogs since I was 10, so caring for them is second nature, and your dog will be treated like part of the family while they’re here. Our dog, Sunshine, is a 4-year-old Aussiedoodle who is incredibly sweet and great with other dogs. She can be a little shy at first, but warms up quickly and loves having a buddy around. I work from home, so your dog will have plenty of attention throughout the day—whether that’s hanging out nearby, playing outside, or just relaxing. We have a fully fenced yard with real grass, lots of plants to sniff, and a sunny patio for lounging. Inside, our home is very low-key and relaxed. We also have two kids (15 and 12) who are gentle, respectful, and love spending time with dogs. Whether your pup wants to play, nap, or just be near people, we create a comfortable, easygoing environment where they can settle in and feel safe. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine since I work from home and am with my dog, Sunshine, all day. Dogs in my care are rarely left alone and can spend the day hanging out with me, getting attention, and going in and out of the yard as they like. Our routine is pretty low-key and flexible, so I’m able to adjust to each dog’s needs—whether that’s more playtime, rest, or sticking to a specific schedule. Walks, feeding, and outdoor time are all built into the day, and evenings are calm with the whole family around. Because this is already how our home operates, adding another dog feels very natural and not like a disruption to our routine. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. Since I work from home, they get plenty of attention throughout the day and are rarely left alone. Dogs are free to relax inside, spend time with us, or play in our fully fenced yard. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, and any specific instructions you provide.

About: I've loved dogs since I was a kid growing up with huskies! I would always handle their grooming, walking, and medications. In adulthood I found my passion for rescue dogs and have rescued/fostered pitbulls and mastiffs for the last 8 years! I have a heart for gentle giants but love snuggling and taking care of my parent's little poodle mixes as well. I also have a lot of experience handling senior and ill dogs, and give that level of care and patience to all dogs that I work with. I handle our two dog's enrichment all day and love having visitors. I'm currently working from home so can be their all day for your pet's needs. I understand that pet routines are key to creating happy healthy pets and will do what ever I can to accommodate your needs! We also have doggie doors to allow your pet access to potty breaks whenever they need! I have a fenced yard and two friendly pups to keep your pup company! I also have a great neighborhood for walking your fur baby in, low traffic and tons of plants for them to smell. Dogs are more than welcome to cuddle up on the couch or our dog beds. I have comfy crates available as well if that's your dog's jam.

“She's great. My dog has never been with anyone but family and she is able to comfort him. With my schedule changing, it is wonderful having her as a backup for work. Like I said, she's great.”

“Had a last minute trip and Melanie was able to accommodate us. She was very informative, sent pictures and let us know how she was doing. I would love to use Melanie again when we are in town.”

“We’ve loved working with Adrian for daycare! You can tell Adrian loves animals. Cassie has had a lot of fun and goes running up to their door every morning. Highly recommend!”

“Kylie is very responsive and communicates well, which I appreciate. My dog enjoys his days playing with their 2 dogs and others they care for. I’ll definitely continue using their services.”

About: I have had a family dog my whole life. My current pup is a 2year old mini goldendoodle that is about 25lbs. He is high energy and loves play time, long walks and going to the dog park. I work remote full time so I am home with my dog the majority of my day. Any pet in my care would get the same treatment as my own. Multiple walks, a trip to the park and of course regular feedings. My pet is free to roam my apartment, I have a balcony that he also has free access to during the day. I keep the door open for him.

“Layla was amazing!! I usually leave my dogs with friends or family because one of them is really anxious, but she handled both of them so well. She took them on walks and sent me 3–4 updates throughout the day, which I really appreciated. I’ll definitely be coming back to her if I ever need help with my dogs again. Great communication and super flexible!”

“Piper & I have found our person!! my dog has her own beautiful Zen zone with Sandee. She was so happy & relaxed when I picked her up. Sandee is an angel!! All the pics and videos are amazing too!”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over five years and have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone who treats them like family. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their routine, I’m happy to adapt to their individual needs. I’m attentive, patient, and prioritize your pet’s comfort and safety at all times. I’ll keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home, which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. Your pet won’t be left alone for long periods, and I’ll make sure they stick to their normal routine as closely as possible. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel connected while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet because I’m a dog owner myself. I treat every pet like they’re part of my family and take the time to learn their routine, personality, and preferences. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, I’ll prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness while keeping you updated every step of the way. My goal is for you to have complete peace of mind knowing your pet is loved and well cared for.

“I had such a great experience leaving my dog, Coyol, with Shakyra for the day! From the start, she was incredibly patient during both drop-off and pick-up, which made the whole process smooth and stress-free. Throughout the day, she kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me peace of mind knowing Coyol was in good hands. She even took him on a hike, which he absolutely loved! Shakyra was kind, communicative, and clearly cared about Coyol’s well-being. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. Thank you, Shakyra!”

About: I have experience taking care of dogs with major anxiety and dogs that are super rowdy and high energy. I love hiking and going on really long walks, so if you have a dog that requires more adventure I would love to bring them along. I’m really patient, caring, and good at making dogs feel comfortable and safe. I love keeping up with walks, playtime, feeding, and whatever routine they need. I’m also the type of person who will always say hi to a dog I pass by, so being around dogs is something I genuinely love. I also work another job as a housekeeper, so for an extra charge i can do some light cleaning and dusting for your house too ( I use all natural sprays)! :) I’m home for the summer, so I have a pretty open and flexible schedule. I’m available to give pets lots of attention, keep up with their routines, and be reliable when it comes to feedings, check ins, walks, playtime, and even hikes if they are up for it! I’m really caring and pay close attention to how pets are doing, so I always want them to feel comfortable and in good hands. I’ll follow whatever routine you have for them and make sure they get lots of attention, care, and love while you’re away!

“Jason took great care of my Theodore! Took him on walks, let him get lots of snuggles and love! He came home and was as completely tuckered out after his stay! Thank you Jason for making him a part of your pack!”

“Susanee is an excellent dog sitter! She took great care of my dog, Zhuangzhuang, and there was also another Bernese dog for them to play with, which helped Zhuangzhuang burn off a lot of energy. Plus, Susanee has a large, fenced yard, perfect for active pets. Zhuangzhuang had a fantastic day!”
