Doggy Day Care Downieville-Lawson-Dumont

“We have been traveling for a week and changing plans due to the lack of snow so we made a very last minute request and Emma was super flexible and communicative. She took great care of Minnie! Minnie can be anxious when away from home but was much calmer than usual when we picked her up. When Minnie needed space from Emma’s playful dogs, Emma gave Minnie her own space in the house. We got updates and photos during the day too. We highly recommend Emma and would use her again if we’re traveling in this area again.”

“Incredible! Very communicative- lots of updates and photos throughout Sage's stay. She had a blast with Orion and felt comfortable that she was well taken care of. Will definitely be booking again!”

“Robyn was great. She was reliable, great with communication and took my dog for a long walk which I appreciated. I received many photo updates on how my dog was doing. It was fun to see him interacting with Robyn's dogs. I would use her services again when in the area.”

“Judson and his family are great! Their house with the big fenced land is very peaceful and beautiful . My two huskies had the best time running and playing all day. They also went on hike. Thank you for taking care of our babies. Very happy to find them.”

About: Hi! I’m semi- retired, flexible and here to help! I am an experienced and dedicated dog owner with over 30 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of various breeds, ages, sizes, and temperaments. Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them isn’t just something I do — it’s something I truly love. I have extensive experience with both large and small breeds, including strong, high-energy dogs and those who need a little extra patience and understanding. I’m confident handling everything from tiny companions to powerful working breeds, and I’m comfortable managing leash manners, reactivity, and high-drive personalities. Over the years, I’ve also worked alongside several professional trainers to develop improve upon training techniques and deepen my understanding of canine behavior. This has given me strong skills in structure, positive reinforcement, consistency, and reading body language — ensuring every dog in my care feels safe, understood, and supported. I currently have two dogs of my own who keep me on my toes! One required daily medication and eye drops for most of her life and is now blind, so I’m very experienced with administering medication, caring for special needs dogs, and providing the extra patience and environmental awareness they require. My other is a 90lb Rottweiler — a big, strong, lovable goofball — so I’m more than comfortable handling large, powerful breeds with confidence and control. Whether your dog needs structured walks, medication management, extra patience, or just lots of love and play, I provide reliable, attentive, and compassionate care tailored to their individual needs. I treat every dog as if they were my own and prioritize safety, routine, and plenty of affection. I’d love to meet your pup and provide them with a fun, safe, and caring experience! I’m currently semi retired so have flexibility to adapt to your dogs needs, routine and playtime! I love going for walks, helping with training, providing mental stimulation as well as exercise. My dogs are pretty “spoiled” according to my friends; they eat (home prepared meals) 3 times a day (not including treats) and get tons of attention. I’m happy to provide the same level of love, attentiveness and care to any and every dog I possibly can. 💜 I have a small fenced in yard and a comfortable cozy home. I do have two dogs but have the ability to keep mine separate if needed. If requesting home sitting services, I have done the same and fully understand the level of of trust, cleanliness and respect needed in these situations.

“Shanik and family are wonderful pet hosts. Mila loved to spend the days with them. She was happy to play ball outside in the snow for her first time. Shanik took care of Mila while my family and I were out skiing. Mila felt like she was home! Thank you!”

About: Former dog training/daycare worker. I am a remote worker, so I can be with your pups most usually all day. I’m a photographer by trade, so I usually take photos during our visit for fun ☺️ For boarding, I live on a fenced farm and we spend time outside, as well as being cozy inside while I remote work. I work from my laptop, so I am very flexible during the day. I am fully available and very eager to spend time with your dog. I make sure your dog is my number one priority. I could never be too cautious. I make sure they have the attention, pets, and play time that they need.

About: I am an avid dog lover. I have had dogs my entire life, everything from small to large dogs. My husband and I work from home so we have all day to love on & snuggle puppers. We love hiking, going for walks, and sitting outside while the dogs smell the mountain air. We are comfortable with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. We are free to just drop in and feed or walk them or have them join us at our place. Working from home allows us the flexibility to cater to your dogs needs. We have two dogs as well (a golden retriever and Anatolian shepherd) who LOVE friends. We do leave for about 2-3 hours 4-5 nights a week. So yours pups would need to be good to stay home alone for that time. They can either free roam with our dogs if they are well behaved, or if you have a kennel you prefer them to stay in while alone we can do that too! We would love to love on your doggos! We work from home so we get to play and snuggle with the pups all day long!! We can take them outside, for walks, provide meds, or anything they need all day. We do leave for about 2-3 hours 4-5 nights a week. So yours pups would need to be good to stay home alone for that time. They can either free roam with our dogs if they are well behaved, or if you have a kennel you prefer them to stay in while alone we can do that too! We live on 5 acres in the mountains, so no fenced yard. But we can take the pups out on their leash and they can spend time sunbathing on our big fenced in deck. Plenty of space for puppies to play and sunbathe! Pets are also allowed and welcome on any and all furniture in the house. Our home is their home. We have plenty of space for a crate as well if that is what you prefer for your pup.

About: I have years of experience caring for a wide variety of animals in addition to dogs including cats, fish, guinea pigs, etc. Patient, flexible, reliable. I provide care for pets of all ages. Prior pet store experience. I have two dogs and two freshwater fish tanks. Please feel free to call or text with questions. I look forward to working with you! I work part time and can easily fit your pet care needs into my schedule. I've been helping take care of other family's pets for many years and I make your pet my priority. I have a fenced in yard in a safe neighborhood for pet boarding. When pet sitting at another home I take great care to make sure that pets are secure and accounted for, all doors are locked and all safety precautions taken to ensure the best service for your pet and family.

About: I love big dogs, especially GSDs, but have experience with many ages, breeds, and sizes. I grew up with several labs. The last 10 years I raised a German Shepherd from 8 weeks that sadly passed away last summer. Needless to say I miss being covered in dog hair. I have experience with various personalities, separation anxiety, cuts/injuries, and administering medication. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, hikes, and going to parks, but can also just hang out with your pup if that’s what’s desired. I work remote full time and set my own schedule, allowing flexibility all hours and days. I live in a home with plenty of room and a fenced in backyard. Trails are 20 yards away. Reach out if you’d like to set up a meet and greet! I work remotely and make my own schedule, so I’m flexible at all hours and days to provide the care that your dog needs and deserves. Dogs are always welcome in my home! I have plenty of space with a fenced in yard and dogs are allowed on the couch and in the bed. I’m easy to work with, patient (some dogs just like to sniff more than they walk), communicative, and can adjust to any preferred care strategy to provide a trustworthy service while you’re away.

About: I have experience for 40 years with animals. I have had cats, fish, giant dogs, small dogs and all those in between. I have had puppies and seniors, and I love them all. I work for myself so I can be home when I need to be. I can keep your pups routine so they are happy and comfortable. I have a fenced yard and 2 well behaved dogs to keep your fur baby company. I have a crate avlb if your pup is crate trained.

“Omar was fantastic with our little Peanut. He got plenty of play time and care. Omar has a good sized fenced yard and took Peanut on a joyful walk. He was tired but happy when he got home. What more can we ask for?! Thanks again, Omar!”

About: I am a stay-at-home mama in the Genesee area. I have two wonderful boys aged seven and nine who love animals! We love cuddling with sweet fur babies and love getting outside for energetic ones too! My boys will occasionally be helping me with dog walking, feeding, petting, and loving on your pet(s)! We just added Minnie the puppy to our family and would love playmates who play well with others! We have a large beautiful unfenced yard and then a small dog run with a doggie door. I currently am a stay at home mom and my husband works from home so someone is usually here all the time to care for your fur children! I will make sure your fur baby is as comfortable as possible. I would love to hear all about their needs to make sure they love my home like their own!

About: I am an animal lover that works from home, so I will always be around. I'm just looking to help you care for your pets while you are away. No complicated stuff or pricey add-ons here! About me - my husband and I have owned two beautiful Vizslas over the last 17 years and recently lost our 2nd one. I love animals, have plenty of experience caring for high energy and senior dogs (we cared for our dogs with arthritis, Cushing's Disease, muscle atrophy). I love walking, hiking and spending time with animals. I have a large 1 acre property and spacious home. No other pets, just me and my husband. I am perfectly happy caring for one pet at a time if you prefer your pet to be the only pet with me. I have also cared for friends' pets for a long time as well but am adding my services here to the Rover community. Thank you! I work from home full time, so I have a lot of flexibility. I am able to take breaks often during the day for potty breaks and walks. I am home almost everyday, but I do go out on weekends for a few hours at a time. I can bring your pet along on hikes and picnics if your pet is able to join. I prefer pets that can be left at home for at least 3-4 hours at a time and unattended. If not, we can discuss. Crates may be needed if they are unable to roam around the house alone. I have a large property, but it is unfenced, it is far from the road and our area is very very quiet, almost zero cars. I can keep your pet on a leash for potty breaks if they are prone to running away. My house is spacious and has two floors with just the two of us and no other pets. The stairs and floors are covered in non-slip rugs for pets. There is a baby gate to keep your pet away from stairs if needed. There are extra rugs for the floors if needed (our senior dogs used to slip a lot). I also have a large deck that is fully enclosed - no exit route. Since I am home almost all the time, I can take your pet for a walk and let them keep me company at home on the couch too! I can also come over your home and care for your pet there as needed (depends on length of stay requested).

“Cherie watched Paisley for half a day while we were snowmobiling, and she was truly a dog whisperer. She kept us updated with pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. Paisley usually won’t even leave her crate the first time with a new sitter, but with Cherie she felt comfortable enough to go out right away. Cherie even accommodated us by driving Paisley back to our Airbnb. Communication was excellent throughout. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely book her again.”

About: Hi, I’m Allie! I’ve been an animal lover and caregiver since I was 8 years old. I’ve loved and cared for horses, dogs, and cats throughout my life and would love to care for your furbabies like they’re my own. I share a cabin with my husband and two goofy Labradors, Jenny and Elwood. We have a half-acre, fenced in yard with plenty of room to play and roam. And the squirrel hunting is top-notch. 🐿️ 🐶 There’s plenty of dog-friendly furniture for naps, and walks and snuggles are guaranteed. 💕 We welcome friendly, non-aggressive dogs to join us for boarding and doggie daycare. A human will be home during your pup’s entire visit. If your pup prefers their own space, I’m happy to spend the day and night with them so they can keep to their familiar space and routines. 🏡🛌 If your pup loves exercise, they’re in luck - I am an avid hiker and runner who can keep up with even the most energetic of pooches. 🏃🏾‍♀️🥾 If you’re running errands down the hill and won’t be home for a while, I’m happy to check in on your pup and give them a little TLC and a walk. Depending on my schedule, I can accommodate last-minute requests, just give me a shout. As a dog mama myself, I know how hard it can be to be away from your furbabies. I’m happy to provide regular updates and share pics, to make you feel closer to home. 📸💕 If your pup has special needs or requirements, please let me know ahead of time and I can let you know if I’m able to accommodate. Additionally, I am an energy healer and training to be an animal communicator. If you’re down with all things “woo woo,” I’d be delighted to give your pup an energy boost and pass along a message or two. 🔮💫 I’m a writer who is training to be an animal communicator. That means this is my full-time gig! Your pups will be my top priority. I have a fenced-in yard for boarding visitors and flexibility in my schedule to spend the full day with your pup on house sitting visits.

About: I grew up with animals (even cows!) and am a reliable, loving caretaker for you fur babies while you are away.

We have a very large fenced yard, have neighborhood access to a local trail system, and are 5-10 minutes from Evergreens lakes and parks for all exercise needs!

I have an extremely large fenced yard around our 6000 sqft house, multiple outdoor walking options including: Evergreen Lake, Elk Meadow Park, Flying J Ranch, and Three Sisters Trail, all within 10 minutes. There is also plenty of indoor space for your pet to roam, explore, and make themselves at home in. I house 2 of my own dogs that will be happy to keep your pet company!
