Doggy Day Care Emerald Isle

About: I raised my 2 mini schnauzers from puppyhood through their twilight years and loved every second of it. We made many other dog friends along the way, including the occasional sleepover. I work remotely from home, so it’s easy for me to adapt to whatever schedule your dog is used to! I travel for 2-3 weeks in the year around (but typically not during) holidays. My apartment complex is gated with great walking areas for the community’s many pets. A public park is just next door with hiking trails for higher energy pups. I also have extra beds, crates, leashes, bowls, and toys if you forget yours or prefer not to haul them around.

“Kyle and Jennifer were great with Trouble! He had such a good time! We hope to do it again!”

“Jonalyn was fantastic with my dog! She sent so many photos and kept Mocha busy and got her tired, which is hard to do. Mocha is usually nervously reluctant to separate from me, but every time we went to Jonalyn's, she got so excited. Definitely booking again!”

“Sojeong and her family provide great care for my dog. My dog is a little shy and afraid, but he got along well with the family and the other small dog they were dog sitting for at the time.”

“Daisy is wonderful! Shes excited to see Star and gives her plenty of potty breaks. She’s understanding that Star is a senior dog who loves her naps and chill time. She’s also very responsive.”

“Jennifer took amazing care of our puppy! They sent us updates and pictures throughout the day and it was clear how comfortable they made her feel :) will definitely be requesting help again!!”

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, and I keep my numbers small so every dog gets real one-on-one attention. I work from home on a flexible schedule, so your dog has company and supervision for most of the day — regular walks, play, and potty breaks, not long stretches alone. I offer boarding and daycare and take just one family's dog or two at a time, and I'm glad to keep your dog's normal routine for meals, 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. I have a doggy door for dogs who prefer to let themselves in/out at their leisure. 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 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.

“Amazing sitters! I was in LA for work and they took care of my new dog Molly wonderfully. I felt comfortable being fully present at work and trusting she was in good hands. These are dog people!”

“We (more importantly Cody) loved his time at Joyce's! We really appreciated the updates and pictures too throughout his stay! Cody seemed to have warmed up so quickly and had a blast! We are definitely going to rebook with Joyce!”

Erica Y.

“Therese is AMAZING! She takes such good care of our high energy dog and is extremely communicative with us. She goes above and beyond every time. I truly wouldn’t want to trust my pup with anyone else!”

About: I've been caring for pets for over 20 years, and it's something I truly love. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets with the same attention and compassion I'd give my own. I offer personalized care, a limited number of clients, consistent updates with photos and videos, a clean safe environment, reliability, punctuality, flexible scheduling, medication administration, and have extensive experience caring for senior pets and those who are anxious or have special needs. My goal is to help every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I adore animals of all kinds and would be honored to care for your furry family member! I work from home with a flexible schedule, which makes it easy to care for your pets when you need me. I am always on time and communicate often. I will follow your instructions on how to care for your baby in your home. I can even send photos and keep you updated throughout the day. (I should mention that I am also a professional pet photographer!)

“Thank you so much Albina!! It was very last minute and bullet had a good time. You were very communicative and the drop off and pick up was very quick. If I was in your area, she would be regular there.”

“I left my dog Arya with Angelica for day care for two days in a row and it was awesome. Arya had other small dogs to play with and a back yard to run around in and Angelica and her daughter were so nice to her and caring.”

Mike G.

“Victoria was wonderful. Our dogs loved her and Bella. She is very intuitive and seems to fully understand what each dog needs. She sent many pics and videos throughout their stay. They were so happy, which in turn makes us so happy!! We have used several rover providers in the past and Victoria was by far the best. Stop looking you have found the perfect person t watch your pet.”

Tim K.

“My dog had such a wonderful day with Jana and her family! They were so sweet to her-- Rocky got to run around outdoors for so much of the day and came back happy and tired. Thank you for such wonderful care, excited to book again.”

Sam H.

“Gina is amazing at what she does! My dog Patli truly blossomed and opened up with Gina and the rest of the pups in the best way! Great communicator and always making sure your pups are seen and taken care of in their needs!”

Alexa H.

“Veronica is excellent with my dog, Beau. She took him to the beach with her when I needed last minute dog care and he came back tired and smiley. You can tell she loves animals. I will definitely keep using her services!”

Michelle R.

“Our initial rover canceled on us at the last minute and Jessica came through. Her communication was great and our dog loved her. We'll be repeat customers if we're in need of a rover in her area again!”

Jenna K.

“Sean was amazing! Great communication and very responsible and respectful of our instructions. But most importantly, our pup loved him and didn’t want to leave”

Mui-Yee B.

“Very communicative and always excited to see our Luna! Luna basically runs inside now and I've never seen her so happy outside our home. Thank you so much for taking such good care of her!”
