Doggy Day Care in Dona Vista

“We have been leaving our fur baby (Shelby) with Krista since last year. My husband did the research to find someone we would feel comfortable leaving her with. Krista is highly rated so we went with her. We are happy with our decision and the service she provides. Krista sends pictures and updates through out the time she has Shelby. I know Shelby’s is good hands.”

About: We come from a loving pet family and love meeting new ones. My name is Mike, my wife is Ruby, and our son Lincoln, who is now in the Navy. We treat our two dogs like children. There are toys all over the house to play with and whenever they are tired they lay on our recliners or couch to sleep. We are able to follow any schedule and can provide medication if needed. Your loved ones will be treated like family ❤️ I will provide hands on care such as playing, walking or anything extra required. There will always be either myself or my wife at home. I work during the week days but my wife Ruby is home during the day. During the weekends we both are home. We have a fenced in yard and a park near by that we can walk to. Our two male dogs are neutered and we will only care for one family's pet(s) at a time.

About: Updated:1/8/2025..I was on leave for having a baby but now I’m back now and ready to see my pets again 🩷I always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. Im currently working part time so I have plenty of time for your fur babies! My availability is Mon-Sun 9am-8pm, as well as over nights stays im also open :) We live in a house with a fenced in backyard so plenty of space for your pups to run around! I have two kids also who love animals and will keep them very entertained as well!

“Saira was great with our elderly dog and she provided us with regular updates and photos. We are so grateful to find a good sitter on the spur of the moment when the dog was too anxious to be left alone in our hotel room.”

“Elizabeth was super sweet and attentive!! The minute we arrived, Shiloh sniffspected the area and confirmed his comfortability by laying down in the middle of the room, which showed he was ready for me to go so he himself can have a break 😂Overall experience was great!”

About: My passion for animals began at a very young age. For as long as I can remember, I’ve been the go-to person for family and friends whenever they needed someone reliable to care for their pets. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, especially dogs—whether it's playing with them, going on walks, or grooming them to help them look and feel their best. As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate ample time and attention to caring for your pets. Any day of the week. Your pets will have access to five acres of open space to explore and enjoy during their stay. We have two friendly dogs who love socializing and playing with others. I tailor each pet’s care—including walks, playtime, and crating—based on their individual needs and comfort levels

About: I have loved and cared for pets of all ages and types since I was a kid. My wife works full time, so I am the caregiver for our pets. We care for our fur babies from babies until it’s time for them to move on. We treat them like our kids and would do the same for yours if given a chance. I’m currently retired and am home all day to care for our pets. They get regular walks as well as playtime. We even have nap time together 😀 I have a small fenced area for them to run. While our dogs aren’t crated I am happy to crate yours if that’s what you choose. I offer daycare and boarding in my home. Drop in visits in your home when my schedule allows.

About: I have been around cats, dogs, reptiles and small animals since I was a child. I have experience with all different breeds of dogs (and cats) and would love to be able to care for your fur baby next! I have been working full time in the pet care industry for almost 5 years now caring for 25+ cats and dogs at any given time. My love and care for animals is unmatched. I am able to work with any dog on basic training, specific commands if interested, and am very well versed in dispensing medications and providing care for senior pets. 🐾 I’m currently working part time, so I have all the time in the world to play with your pup! I am available most nights and have a lot of daily availability as well! Reach out and I’ll be happy to help you. I will care for your pets how you would, with a little extra lovings from their new friend🙂 You tell me what you would like to happen with your dog/cat or what you need and I will do my absolute best to accommodate your needs and your pets needs.

About: I grew up with cats and dogs all my life. I’ve volunteered at the Lake County Animal Shelter before. I am patient and loving with animals. I’m currently available and flexible with my schedule. Call me or text me for any additional details regarding scheduling. Looking forward to working with you. I don’t currently have pets. So I can give all my attention to your furry friends. I don’t have a fenced yard so leashes are required.

About: While I excel in taking care of dogs - I do have a soft spot for all pets. I can take care of your cat(s) based on their mood/character and your preferences. I work from home with flexible hours - I can set up schedules based on your pet's needs. We will work things out and adjust/adapt if needed. Taking care of all your pets at very reasonable rates. Offering special rates for rescues in general and bully breeds in particular. Having owned the most misunderstood breed(s) most of my adult life I am rooting for the 'underdog' Pets are free-roaming friends in our house, but understand that at times secured personal space accommodations are needed. Our house is big enough to keep your pack and ours separated if there is no click. Your pet will never be unsupervised while under my care.

About: I will provide your pets with a loving and caring environment. Your fur babies will get plenty of exercise and attention.” I continue to volunteer and I am so happy when I am around dogs! It feels so natural and fun. I will provide your pets with such amazing care and love. I love what I do , Dog sitting doesn’t even feel like work. Every dog has such a different personality and everyday is so incredibly different. Dog walking keeps me in shape and feeling good inside and out . I am a dog owner of two amazing beagles, Honey and Mia .They are such wonderful companions and part of the family. I’m currently home full time . I usually run my errands in the morning and home for the rest of the day. I’m never gone too long. I have plenty of quality time to care for your pet. I have a schedule I try to maintain. I’m fortunate to have a fenced in yard and I always stand outside and supervise when I provide drop in visits. I usually do two walks a day , depending on the weather. No matter what service, we will have a good day!

About: What sets me apart is the combination of my calm, nurturing approach and my hands‑on experience with pets at every life stage. I’m not just a sitter, I’m someone who truly pays attention to what each animal needs to feel safe, understood, and cared for. Here are a few things that make my care unique: 🐾 Puppy Training & Routine Building I’m experienced with young pups who need structure, patience, and consistency. Whether it’s reinforcing crate training, practicing basic commands, or establishing bathroom and feeding routines, I help puppies gain confidence and learn good habits early. 🧡 Senior & Special‑Care Experience I know how to adapt care for older pets who move a little slower or need extra gentleness. This includes administering meds (oral, topical, or drops), monitoring mobility, offering joint‑friendly walks, and creating calm, predictable environments that help reduce stress. 🎯 Behavior‑Aware, Needs‑Focused Care I pay close attention to body language, triggers, and comfort levels; especially with anxious pets or those who need a slower introduction. My goal is always to build trust, not rush interactions. 📋 Clear Communication for Peace of Mind You’ll always know how your pet is doing. I send regular updates, photos, and notes so you feel connected even when you’re away. 🏡 Respect for Your Home & Routines I follow your instructions carefully: feeding schedules, training cues, medical needs, house rules, and preferred routines, keeping life consistent for your pet while you’re gone. 🐾 Caring for Pets Fits Right Into My Day Pet care blends naturally into my routine since I work from home full‑time. I’m around all day, which means I can easily step away for potty breaks 🚶‍♀️, walks 🌿, playtime 🎾, or just some extra love and attention 💛 whenever your pet needs it. I like keeping pets on a steady routine, so I make sure feeding times 🍽️, outdoor time ☀️, and check‑ins 👀 stay consistent. With a flexible schedule, I can adjust to whatever your pet needs; more exercise, extra cuddles 🤗, or a midday drop‑in. It never feels like I’m squeezing anything in… caring for pets just naturally fits into my day. 💕 🐾 How I Care for Pets (In Your Home or Mine!) When I care for pets in their own home, I make sure their normal routine stays the same so they feel comfortable and secure. I follow your instructions closely—feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, playtime, meds, and all the little quirks that make your pet who they are. My goal is always to keep things calm, consistent, and stress‑free while you’re away. I also offer care in my home for pets who are toddler‑friendly and dog‑friendly. I live on an acre lot with a large fenced‑in backyard, which gives dogs plenty of safe space to play, explore, and burn off energy. It’s perfect for pups who enjoy room to roam or lounging outside in the sun. No matter where I’m caring for your pet, they’ll get lots of attention, love, and quality time. I’m around throughout the day to keep them happy, active, and cared for.

“Wonka had a great time for our last minute booking. We just needed a few hours and Rinske came through for us. Kids gave our mini schnauzer lots of love and Rinske was good to send us pictures. Thank you again Rinske!!”

About: I have my veterinarian assistant diploma. I have also worked with animals the majority of my life. I have three cats and two dogs. I am also a very caring clean person. I will be out of a job on May 1st so i will have plenty of time to take care of your pets needs and more. I have a fenced in yard, and I have a mother in lawsuit that your animals would be very comfortable in. There is a bathtub, sink, and a fridge in the room.

About: I've had animals all my life. Dogs, cats, bunnies and guinea pigs! I have always been an animal lover! Currently my husband and I have 2 toy poodles-Teddy and Tucker-both turning 10 this year (2025). I was a stay at home mom to my two children, my son who almost 20-he's off at college and my daughter who is 28 and married. So now I'm officially a stay at home dog mom to Teddy and Tucker. We own our home, we have a fenced in yard and our two sweet pups would love to play with your little one. I'm a non smoker, almost never drink and taking care of the pups is what I love to do.

“I have nothing but great things to say about Sebastian. He was amazing. Leaving my dog Bella with him would be like leaving my dog with family. He was so welcoming from the minute we walked in to his beautiful fenced in backyard. We sat down, chatted a bit, and did a meet and greet with his pups. They all got along great. Sebastian genuinely has a love for animals. We went inside and he proceeded to ask a lot of good questions and answered all mine. I could tell Bella had a fun afternoon. He sent along a lot of cute pictures. He gives me peace of mind that my dog will be in good hands and found a new trusting friend. I'm looking forward to using him again, and would highly recommend him.”

“Korie has been amazing for our pups. She gives updates, responds in a timely manner, and is very kind! We used daycare this time and the pups came back happy and tired.”

About: *** No dog to BIG or small *** We walk the walk and bark the bark over here. We come, sit stay and play ALL DAY! Hi, I’m Stephanie. Lover all shapes and sizes (or breeds,lol). I’m a stay at home dog/human mama who adores all things on 4 legs. I have over 20+ years of experience with several breeds of fur babies. I’m pretty fluent in house breaking for pups, leash training, day to day commands and can follow a pretty strict schedule. As for our senior babies, we can do that too. Slower walks, patient feedings, medications and a laid back lifestyle. I am a current stay at home mom of 2 who I also homeschool! So availability is pretty open most week days and week ends. Early mornings/late nights are always a thing too! For boarding purposes I offer a fully fenced in back yard with a pup of our own to keep yours in good company. Our home is also pretty pet friendly. We don’t use any type of harsh chemicals, fragrances, bleach, aerosols, candles, etc.
