Doggy Day Care in Fernwood

About: We have both grown up with animals and have been caring for pets our entire lives. We currently have three pets of our own, so we understand the level of care, attention, and love that animals truly need to feel safe and comfortable. We know firsthand how stressful it can be to find reliable, trustworthy pet care, especially when balancing work and busy schedules, which is why we’re passionate about providing a safe, loving environment for your pets while you’re away. We also have a fully fenced half-acre yard, along with additional unfenced space on our property, allowing for plenty of supervised outdoor playtime, exercise, and enrichment. We also have the space to comfortably keep dogs separated if needed, giving each pet their own area while still receiving plenty of attention and care. Your pet will be treated like part of our family, with plenty of attention, playtime, and care tailored to their specific needs and routine. One of us works from home full-time, while the other works part-time as a personal trainer and is typically only away for about an hour at a time. This allows us to provide consistent supervision and attention throughout the day. We have a flexible schedule and are available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends, with plenty of time for walks, play, and individualized care. We provide a safe, calm, and structured home environment where your pet will feel comfortable and cared for. Our dogs are friendly and love playtime with other dogs, creating a fun and engaging environment for social pets. We also have a fully fenced half-acre yard, giving dogs plenty of space to run around, explore, and get their energy out. We have experience managing multiple pets and can easily separate dogs if needed, giving each pet their own space while still ensuring they receive plenty of attention and care. Our dogs are crate trained and comfortable using their crates, and we’re happy to incorporate crating if that’s part of your dog’s routine. We strongly believe in following each pet’s established routine, whether that includes crate time or not, we want them to feel as comfortable and at home as possible. We prioritize safety at all times, closely supervise interactions, and tailor care to each pet’s needs. Our goal is to create a stress-free, home-like environment where your pet is treated like part of the family.

“Dan is fantastic! He is a great communicator and was flexible with changes in pick up times. Dimey had so much fun on all their adventures going to the beach, hiking, and dog park together. He has a great space for the dogs to play outside too. Dimey and I both give him a 10/10”

“This is my first time using Rover and I am very satisfied. Melissa was a fantastic and reliable sitter for my sick little Romeo. Melissa did everything as I requested and kept my dog comfortable by cuddling, which he loved. 🥰 Melissa picked up my dog and brought back to the hotel with short time change request which I appreciate very much! I highly recommend Melissa and Rover!”

“We were very lucky to have found Brooke! We needed a last minute sitter that could watch our pup for the entire day with a late-night pickup, and she was happy to accommodate us. She was very communicative throughout the stay, and it was such a relief knowing our dog was in good hands with all the pictures & updates that were sent to us. Brooke is an absolute gem - we will definitely be booking with her again!”

About: I’m a dog lover who enjoys taking long walks in our beautiful city and being close to nature. I’ve cared for many wonderful dogs and small animals, and I truly enjoy giving them the attention and love they deserve. I’m in training to be a dog trainer 🐶 I have flexible hours since I work independently, mostly from home. The times of the day when I’m most available is Mon-Fri from 9 - 8 and some availability during weekends. I have a fenced yard and live close to many parks. I don’t have pets at the moment, I could host a dog that is good with children. My boys are gentle and loving with animals.

“I had such a great experience with Kiya! He was incredibly accommodating, kind, and trustworthy from the start. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable and compassionate to care for their dog!”

About: Hi friends👋 A little bit about my self, to make you feel more comfortable leaving your pup. I was born on a desert farm. We had a ton of diverse animals. I would help my parents tend to all of the animals since I could walk. I’ve always had a special understanding with dogs. We had all types of dogs including large dogs, small dogs, injured dogs, def dogs, new born rescues. I’ve done it all. I understand every dog has a different need. Since I’ve had over 30 years of experience I naturally will understand your dogs needs as well as listen to you. It brings me pleasure to spend time with your fur baby. I work from home, so your dog will always have my full attention. If you choose overnight care, I take my dog on about 3-4 walks a day, 3 hikes a week and the pups have the yard to run free in all day. I send 1-2 picture’s or video’s everyday. Of course more if you need! I totally understand it’s hard leaving your baby. I can provide this and whatever else your dog needs, including medication, special meals, treats & minimal training. I have a fully fenced in yard and I live in Topanga Canyon. I open my door and I am on a hike. I live in the heart of the state park. I can take your pup on hikes, walks & there’s room to run around in the yard. I also have an entire room with a queen bed for the dogos. I also get tested every 2 weeks for Covid and I’m fully vaccinated ✔️ My dog loves it here, I’m sure yours will as well! I look forward to meeting you & your baby!
