Doggy Day Care in Encinitas

About: I grew up with several dogs and cats, and I’ve loved taking care of animals since a young age. I have provided loving, caring, responsible pet-sitting support and care-taking duties for family and friends for many years, and I genuinely love dogs and cats of all breeds and ages. I have my own sweet and cuddly 8-year old female yellow lab who is my best buddy, so I truly understand how pets become our beloved family members. My schedule is flexible and I’m usually available on short notice! I look forward to meeting lots of wonderful new furry friends soon. I’m currently working part-time so my schedule is flexible and I’m usually available on short notice! Pet care is a true passion of mine. I have a safe, cozy home for pets and a sweet 8-year old female yellow lab at home who gets along perfectly with other dogs. We live across the street from a beautiful dog park and there are lots of beautiful places to walk and play.

“Lan took very good care of Peanut. Last minute I had to change my reservation to assist my friend with her dog and Lan accommodated the situation with no hesitancy. Peanut was a happy camper and the photo helped to ease my concerns of him being in an unfamiliar place. Thank you so much for your care and accomodations.”

About: As a certified Holistic Health Practitioner I look at animal care from all aspects. I make sure they get good nutrition, exercise and interaction with other dogs. I am okay with senior dogs' needs, like diapers or special soft food or medication or even hand feeding. There are no cancer causing pesticides being used around our home and only bio-degradable non-toxic cleaners. For me dogs are supporting and protecting us on our journeys physically, emotionally, energetically and spiritually. I also offer canine massage. My husband and I are working from home and our daughter (19) is currently taking online classes. All of us love animals very much and enjoy being around them... We have a fully fenced yard (6 ft) and 2 little dogs ( one senior and one puppy) to keep your dog company. We have balls and toys to play with and your dog is welcome to share the dog beds and our couch with everybody. Our porch door is open all day which makes potty training easy and gives your dog plenty of outdoor time. We usually take everybody for a nice sunset walk and can add a nice beach walk to the day. We do not use any pesticides or harsh chemicals and there are no toxic/ poisonous plants in our yard/home.

About: Hi! I have my own 2 yr old dog Ozzy. So i know what it is like to leave your pet while out of town! Communication, and following your detailed instructions are very important. Tell me what your pet loves. I work remote so I am very flexible when checking in. I make my own schedule most of the time which will allow me to check in on your pet at anytime. I make sure to take my own pup on walks early AM. But happy to adjust to your pets needs I live near dog parks, i walk 10,000 steps a day, and my pup is very friendly. If you’d like your pet to not to be around my pup this is understandable and we can discuss this.

“Elizabeth truly took time to get to know and care for our girl Sweets. She was wonderful to communicate with and very understanding of the special needs and quirks of our sweet girl. We recommend her and will be using her again for sure!”

About: Hello! My husband and I are remote workers and lifelong dog lovers. We have a three-year-old Australian Shepherd–Poodle mix who we adore and truly treat like family. She is well behaved, loves meeting new people, and thrives on playing with other dogs. She’s also very active—my husband and I take her on walks and runs at least twice a day. We understand that your dog is a cherished member of your family, and we will care for them as if they were part of ours. We are highly responsive and happy to provide daily updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. We’re attentive to each dog’s individual needs and make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well loved. Our experience includes raising a puppy, administering medication, brushing teeth, bathing and grooming, and caring for senior dogs. You can rest assured that when your dog stays with us, they will be in caring and capable hands. I work from home 5 days a week and can take your dog out multiple times a day for potty beaks and walks. We understand that your dog might have a set schedule and look forward to learning about how we can best accommodate. While we have an unfenced yard, we take our own dog out multiple times a day for walks and potty breaks and can do the same for your pup. We have a three year old Australian Shepherd Poodle mix who is a sweet girl and who can keep your pup company. If you prefer to keep your dog in a crate during certain hours of the day, we can make sure to maintain this routine. We look forward to hearing how we can best care for your pup’s needs.

“Jasmine took amazing care of my dog Buddy while we were away. She watched him one-on-one, which gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing he was getting her full attention. She was super attentive, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure he was comfortable and happy. Buddy came back relaxed and well taken care of, and I could tell he had a great experience. I would absolutely book Jasmine again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”

“Lisa and Jeff are amazing!! They clearly love pets. Our dog had a great time. They were caring, communicative, and everything went smoothly. We will definitely reach out the next time we’re in town.”

“Perfect sitter! Ari was able to care for my dog scout at the last minute and was very kind, reliable, and communicative. I’d definitely book with Ari again!”

“This was my first rover so I was admittedly quite nervous. Not only for myself, but even my dogs caretaker as at 4 months old, she can still have puppy like tics. Despite it all, Linda was communicative, thorough and a joy to interact with. You can tell her family has a great vibe, and that reflects in how they treat their dogs. I’m especially appreciative that we were a bit late to pick my pup up due to some traffic and Linda was so understanding and patient. Two paws way way up ?”

About: I’m a reliable, caring, and adaptable pet sitter who truly loves animals. I’m always respectful of your home and attentive to your pet’s needs, and I make sure every animal in my care feels safe, loved, well-fed, and well-praised (yes, I absolutely tell them how beautiful they are!). I’m athletic and active, so I’m happy to take dogs out for long walks, runs, or energetic playtime—whatever suits their personality and energy level. I have experience house sitting for both dogs and cats, as well as providing dog-walking services, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. As a Yoga Instructor, I have flexible windows of availability that we can discuss to find what works best for you. I’m communicative, dependable, and always willing to accommodate special routines, rules, medications, or care instructions to ensure your pet stays comfortable and happy. I genuinely love spending time with animals and am excited to take on more pet care opportunities. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member and helping make their time with me smooth, fun, and stress-free! I'm currently working part-time as a Yoga Instructor and I have a flexible schedule. I'm available for pet sitting, boarding, and walks 7 days a week I have a small fenced yard where your dog can relax outside. I have one senior cat who has been socialized with dogs that primarily stays in one area in the living room. I fully monitor and supervise when we're in her presence. I am also happy to travel to you and look after your fur baby in your space. I'm happy to do a meet and greet before to see if it's a good fit!

About: Hi! My name is Ariana and I am a caring, responsible, animal lover! In addition to caring for my family dogs since I was 10 years old, I now have my own mini Irish doodle sweet boy named Topa. I am more than happy to watch and care for friends dogs while they are out of town or need an extra hand with walks. I enjoy walking daily for exercise, and would love nothing more than to add another furry friend to my walking gang! I would also love to watch your fur baby in my home as long as they get along with my pup. I am fortunate enough to work entirely remote, so my schedule is quite flexible through out the day. I can work my schedule around your pet, and find a time that aligns best with you. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment with a fenced in yard, and can crate your dog if needed. I will also make sure to understand all rules regarding your pet in your home. Your pet will always be within my vision and I'll be sure to know what they're up to at all times. I plan to treat your pup like they’re my own!

“Awesome communication and very kind to our puppy. Thanks Jaime!”
