Doggy Day Care East Central

“Angelica was great. She accommodated some changes to our schedule, and the communications were prompt. We had a fantastic day, knowing our pup was in good hands. We would use her again in a heartbeat next time in Pasadena. Thank you Angelica!”

“Jesslyn is the best! We are so thrilled to have found someone who can not only care for our dog, but also help her to be her best dog self. Jesslyn & Noah are extremely patient and knowledgeable about dogs, and I can’t wait for them to help us with further training. Highly recommend to anyone looking for any type of dog support. 🐾✨”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I provide plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, fresh water, and updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’m patient with puppies, respectful of each pet’s unique personality and routine, and committed to keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing, I’ll make sure they feel at home and cared for like one of my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide walks, playtime, potty breaks, feedings, and lots of one-on-one attention. I do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I also provide photo and video updates, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions before every visit. I keep a clean, calm environment, closely supervise playtime, and make sure pets always have fresh water, exercise, and plenty of affection. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important trust and communication are, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout every stay or visit.

“Stephanie was great with me and Mia. She made me feel comfortable and at ease with leaving Mia in her care. We talked about Mia’s care in detail and I can tell she cares about Mia’s well being. I feel Mia is in great hands in her care and I greatly appreciate her help with supporting Mia’s training. I plan to use Stephanie again in the future for day care.”

About: I've shared my home with two to four dogs since coming to LA 15 years ago. Because I work from home, your pup gets a calm, dog-savvy human nearby all day — frequent yard breaks, play, and belly rubs instead of hours alone. I'm comfortable with puppies, seniors, medications, and high-energy dogs. I feel time together and attention is what bonds both humans and dogs, and seeing them go from anxious and confused to a happy member of "the pack" is one of the more rewarding parts of taking care of them, so I prefer stays long or frequent enough for your pup to feel at home with me and in my home, but I'm also always willing to cover a tight spot or step in for a day of daycare. I work from home on a flexible schedule, so your dog has company and supervision for the entire day — regular walks, play, and potty breaks, not long stretches alone. I offer boarding and daycare and take only up to three dogs at a time, and mostly for medium to long term boarding, so it's a calm environment without a ton of new dogs coming and going. I'm glad to keep your dog's normal routine for meals, walks, naps, and bedtime. I always mark as unavailable any days I have travel or major time commitments that will keep me away from home for more than an hour or two, so they will have constant care while they're here. Your dog will have free range of my 3 bedroom home, detached studio, and very large, securely fenced backyard full of fruit trees. I don't have pets of my own right now, so your pup gets the whole space and my full attention. I'm happy to crate or set up a quiet separate area if that's what your dog is used to, and I keep things calm and low-stress. My space is easily partitioned to allow dogs to eat, nap, or hang out alone in peace if that's what they prefer. I have a doggy door for dogs who like to let themselves in/out at their leisure. (it's about 50/50 whether they figure it out and make use of it lol) I converted our detached 2 car garage into a recording studio, where I work, so we have the quietest place in town in the event we have to make it through fireworks or if your pet prefers quiet or isolation. Both the house and studio have their own separate HVAC systems, so they'll definitely stay comfortable. I don't generally use kennels or crates, but if your dog prefers or is used to using one, by all means bring it along. I have always slept with my own dogs, so happy to co-sleep with yours if that's what they're used to, but also glad to maintain whatever rules you generally set for them in regard to being on beds/furniture. I have found even "reactive" and "solitary" dogs very quickly acclimate to a more social environment (it usually only takes 3-4 hours) and I never leave them together unsupervised until they're demonstrating clear friendliness to each other. Many dog parents bring their pups over just for this kind of socialization, and it's great to watch a dog that "hates all other dogs" running and playing in the yard with the group after snarling at everyone just a few hours before.

“Tina was great looking after our energetic pup. Thanks!”

Todd O.

“Very accommodating! I could tell my pup felt so happy, comfy and spoiled at their house! They were also able to keep Dante separate from their own pup. Went above and beyond in small ways. Great photos and took him out for potty again right before it was time for pickup.”

Josephine C.

“Albane was really sweet and understanding to my senior dog as she has one herself nearly the same age and size. Neighborhood is perfect for dog walks and her home is very lovely and welcoming for anyone who want to leave their pet there in good hands. Unfortunately my dog has severe separation anxiety and she just wasn’t appreciating it and I do feel bad Albane and her husband had to go through with her barking for so long. They were however kind and took turns in having her on their lap or sitting outside. Only then did she start to relax. I would definitely have her stay again if her anxiety didn’t make it difficult for those watching. I still recommend to anyone considering.”

Bobby L.

“Michael to the rescue!! Even with short notice, he was able to come through in sitting my girl for the day. Kind, respectful & communicated well through the whole exchange. Would book again!”

Angela M.

“Giving and Steven were very easy to work with and had patience with our nervous pup. We got lots of pictures and pick up and drop off were a breeze.”

About: I offer dedicated, private boarding in Pasadena with a strict one-family-at-a-time policy. Your dog will receive personalized, high-attention care in a calm home environment, without ever having to compete with pets from multiple unfamiliar households. I have loved and cared for dogs since I was 6 years old. I also spent three years volunteering with the Walk Me Home Rescue group(as a volunteer and foster parent)—walking, socializing, and supporting rescue dogs across a wide range of breeds, energy levels, and temperaments. What You & Your Pup Can Expect: Attentive Supervision & 1-on-1 Focus: With my flexible schedule, your dog will never be left alone for long and will enjoy continuous attention, companionship, and customized routines. Friendly Playmate or Private Retreat: My sweet 5-year-old Border Collie loves having friends over to play. If your pup prefers quiet solo time, I can easily provide a separate, comfortable resting area alongside private walks and yard time. Secure Backyard Play: Supervised outdoor playtime, fresh air, and safe exercise in our secure yard. Daily Peace of Mind: High-quality daily photo and video updates showing meals, walks, and playtime so you always stay connected. Whether your dog is an energetic puppy, a social butterfly, or a senior who loves a peaceful routine, I treat every furry guest like my own. Feel free to message me with any questions—I look forward to meeting you and your pup at a Meet & Greet! I work part-time and am home for the vast majority of the day, giving me plenty of flexible time to give your pet constant attention and supervision. Our household has a fun, active routine: we let the dogs out into our yard every 2 to 3 hours for playtime, fetch, and frisbee. In addition to yard play, I take them on 1 to 2 dedicated neighborhood walks every day to ensure they get plenty of fresh air and exercise. Your pup will be welcomed into a warm, pet-loving home where they are treated like family. Alongside my own friendly dog, I have a 14-year-old brother, who is passionate about animals and loves keeping pets company with calm companionship and playtime. We prioritize safety and comfort above all. Our home has a secure yard for safe outdoor fun, and pets are never left unattended during activities. Whether your dog thrives on interactive play or prefers a cozy, quiet spot to relax, we tailor our routine to their unique personality and keep you updated with regular photos and message.

“Alexis was super super amazing with our Milo. Especially being so attentive to his water intake! Milo got tummy rubs, walks, and all the love from her. She’s amazing!”

“We are so happy we found Catherine and Albert on Rover! Our two dogs absolutely love it there, and they take such great care of them. We love the updates and photos, and the report card they give at the end of the day is the best thing ever!”

Melanee & Raphe W.

“Frances was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! I was a little worried leaving my fur baby since it’s his first time with a sitter, and he was a lil anxious when we dropped him off but had a great time with Frances. She sent me pictures and updates throughout the day, and the picture qualities were also amazing! My puppy looked so happy and comfortable! He came home pooped and I’m so happy he got along with Frances and her boys! I will definitely use Frances again next time I need a sitter!”

Katrina Y.

“Rique was great! Our pup warmed up to him right away. Great communication and he also sent photos. Would love for our pup to stay with him again.”

“Stephanie did an amazing job watching over my little guy! I could tell he felt instantly comfortable with her and I could go to my event knowing he was in good hands. Stephanie was prompt and provided updates and overall made the experience of leaving my little one with her a very pleasant and seamless one (:”

Cyan M.

“Amanda was GREAT! From start to finish, she helped my anxious dog feel so comfortable. She was both Kind & Excellent at communicating! Would definitely recommend & book again(:”

Angela M.

“Dropped off my shy fearful rescue pup for daycare and when I came back to pickup he was flying around the living room chairs. Within a few minutes in Alysha’s presence you can tell your dog will be in completely capable hands. Love the vibe of her home, I feel totally confident in leaving my dog here. Already booked his next stay!”

Lillian L.

“Junyao (and her mama 💕) were awesome with my reactive rescue. She was super accommodating to his needs (and there are many), sent me updates throughout the day, and when we had a miscommunication about the pick-up time, was gracious and flexible.”
