Doggy Day Care Freedom

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, and for the past 25 years I’ve especially enjoyed fostering and having a multi-dog household. I’m an RN, so I’m very comfortable providing whatever care or assistance your dog may need during their stay, including medications or other special care instructions. I currently have three dogs of my own, all spayed/neutered, and they genuinely enjoy having other dogs around. I have one male who is about 45 pounds and two females who are about 25 and 45 pounds. They are an important part of our family and are very accustomed to welcoming new dogs into the house. My home is set up with dogs in mind, with plenty of space and comfortable places for them to relax, play, and have their own quiet time. I’ve learned over the years that every dog is different, and my goal is to create a safe, comfortable, and peaceful environment where everyone can feel at home. I work 20–30 hours a week, primarily from mid-afternoon into the evening, so I have most of my mornings and early afternoons free to spend with the dogs in my care. I have three dogs of my own who play well together and with other dogs, but also enjoy being lounge potatoes. 🐾 When I’m at work, I leave the door to the backyard open so the dogs can go outside whenever they need to relieve themselves, get some sunshine, or simply enjoy being outdoors. Before I leave for work, we have plenty of time for exercise and fun. Depending on the weather, we might head to the beach, go for a hike, or visit the dog park. If it’s too hot or the weather isn’t cooperating, we’ll take a quick neighborhood walk and then spend time playing inside or relaxing and cuddling on the couch. Over the years, besides always having a multi-dog household, I’ve fostered more than 65 dogs with all kinds of personalities, ages, backgrounds, and needs. That experience has taught me how different every dog can be and how important it is to let them settle in at their own pace. I’m very comfortable helping dogs through the initial awkwardness of being away from their people and home, and I’m happy to give them the patience, reassurance, attention, and affection they need to feel comfortable. I also keep a close eye on the dogs in my care and am very attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, energy, or anything else that might indicate they aren’t feeling quite themselves. My goal is for every dog staying with me to feel safe, loved, included, and like they’re having their own little vacation while their family is away. My house is definitely a dog-friendly home! My dogs are welcome on the couches and beds, and I have plenty of cozy dog beds and pillows scattered throughout the house for everyone to find their favorite spot. If your dog enjoys being around other dogs and can be trusted to have some time alone in the house, they’ll fit right in and have a fantastic time here. When I’m not at work, I spend the majority of my time with my dogs and the dogs staying with me. They are welcome to hang out wherever we are, whether that means playing together, lounging in the backyard, or snuggling up on the couch. My backyard is fully fenced with a 6-foot picket fence, and both gates have deadbolts for extra security. I also have cameras around the house so I can check in on the dogs while I’m away. Honestly, that’s mostly how I catch them stretched out on the grass with their bellies in the sun, enjoying a good afternoon siesta! ☀️🐶 I’m also very comfortable caring for dogs with medical needs. I don’t mind giving medications, following special instructions, or providing extra attention and care when a dog needs it. My goal is to make your dog feel comfortable, safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away.

About: I’ve owned seniors dogs, puppies and everything in between. Jack Russell Terrier to English Mastiff. I’ve also owned cats with diabetes that required insulin daily, neurotic quirky animals we’ve had to adapt to, chickens, goats, sheep, bearded dragons and other reptiles. We are an active family. Hilo and Koa go most places with us. However, there are times he must stay home in his covered kennel, fenced yard or inside depending on weather. We enjoy the rhythm of our daily routines just as much as all of our animals. To keep it humming everyone works in concert sharing the load of responsibilities.

About: I was raised on a ranch in Texas with over 2000 stock to care for as a young child and teen. I not only love animals, but I have cared for all kinds of exotic, wildlife, and domestic animals. On top of caring for other friends and family members' pets for over a decade now. I have a Mane Coon cat and a Maltipoo now that I care for daily outside of caring for other fur babies. I have a very flexible schedule due to only being a provider of pet services. I live in a 3 story home with no yard. However, we do have a very nice pet-assigned area for bathroom needs on top of the most beautiful walking grounds you could ask for being a pet owner. We do not smoke. We have wood floors throughout our home. Pets are allowed on my furniture. Your pet will be treated like our pet and we would always put safety & happiness first.

About: I have worked with animals for a very long time. I grew up with them and then I decided to study Veterinary care in college working with animals such as cattle, horses, dogs, cats, goats, chickens, and others. I worked at a grooming/boarding facility as well. I have trained my own dogs and some friends dogs. I have also raised puppies and worked with professional training to better my own dogs. I am a stay at home mom due to day care and I figured I have always loved animals, why not work with them? I am pretty much available all week. I have a fenced yard where my dogs roam, My dogs are crate trained and go out most of the day. I do walk them once or twice a day depending on the weather. I also do feeding 2x a day and a couple of treats while training. We do other activities as well

About: I have had all types of different experiences with dogs from bathing, walking, fostering puppies, and house sitting. I know how to handle leash aggression and bigger/more aggressive dogs. I can do street or trail walking and dog parks. I work part time in hospitality and also pet sit and dog walk. I have a dog friendly car and can get places easily. I am good at scheduling and making time for extra things. I have 2 friendly dogs that I walk daily and throw the ball for down the street. We play with toys like tug of war also with ball toys that they run around the house with.

“Libby was great!! She accommodated a super last minute request to watch Opal and was so sweet. We felt very comfortable having her watch Opal as soon as we met her; our pup is timid around strangers and usually has a hard time settling down, but she was able to fall asleep for a bit which was amazing 😌 We would absolutely have Libby watch Opal again the next time we’re in town!”

About: I have my own space with an easy to clean floor. I am very chill and and I'm located very near 101 and the Gilroy Outlets. I work as a in-home Care Service and I enjoy my work I worked hard enough to find time to take care of my kitten and the rest of world. Cat powers, woof! I usually let them free roam but if they have to be in the crate either you or I can use a crate for your services the usual clean floor and dog mats or dog trainer pads and kitty litter will be available respectively.

“We were visiting the area and wanted to take a day trip to hike at Pinnacles National Park. Nancy and her husband were wonderful and took great care of our mini schnauzer while we spent the day hiking.”

About: I honestly just love animals, especially dogs. I grew up with a Shih Tzu; her name is Bella, and she will be turning 9 in December. I got her as a puppy, and she has truly changed my life. I don't think I love something as much as I love her! Although we are separated at the moment, I would make sure to give your pet the same care and love as I would to Bella. I have pet-sat cats and dogs for family/family friends, and it has all been a positive experience. I personally already love to go on walks and get out of my house, so they will be well taken care of. I can't wait to meet all your lovely pets! I am least available on Thursdays and Tuesday mornings. Every other day and time works great for me. I am a student, so I am only ever in class on those Tuesdays and Thursdays, or at home! I have a fenced yard in my apartment complex with an additional private dog park. I also live in a townhome, so there is a lot of space for your pet! I am also comfortable going to any location that needs me! Constantly walking the pet if that's the case, feeding the pets, giving medications, being in proximity to them- whatever the pet may need, I can assist with it. I would also like to mention that I have a housemate, Anna G. who is also on rover and occasionally does daytime bookings! In our home we also have two cats!

About: I have loved and cared for all types of animals ever since I was a little kid! I’ve had senior dogs, puppies, all types of cats, and even rats and fish! I have also volunteered at multiple animal shelters throughout the years, and have also walked and helped take care of friends and families pets. I currently have one cat of my own and help take care of two other cats and a bird! (: I am currently a wedding planner, which gives me tons of free time during the week since I don’t work and some weekends! My schedule allows me to be super flexible I will always make sure your animal has a clean and safe space (and of course tons of love) I will always keep an eye on them and give them all of my attention, I’ll even send you updates and photos (:

“Super nice guy !”

About: Hi, I’m Andrea ! I’ve always loved animals, and caring for them has been a meaningful part of my life for many years. I have nearly 10 years of experience as an Adoption Coordinator and volunteer foster with a nonprofit dog rescue in San Diego. During that time, I cared for dogs of all breeds, ages, personalities, and behavioral needs, including many challenging cases that required patience, consistency, careful observation, and individualized care. I worked closely with professional trainers and helped dogs build confidence, improve their manners, and prepare for successful adoptions. Since 2022, I’ve also provided basic behavior training using positive reinforcement. I enjoy helping dogs develop healthy, lasting habits while making sure they feel safe, understood, and supported throughout the process. Every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their unique personality, routines, preferences, and needs. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, extra attention, medication support, or consistency with their daily routine, I provide dependable, attentive care tailored specifically to them. My goal is for every pet to have a positive, enriching experience while you have peace of mind knowing they are safe, respected, comfortable, and well cared for. I know how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, and I treat every pet with the same patience, compassion, and responsibility I would want for my own. I’d love to meet you and your pet, hear more about them, and learn how I can help! Please note that I can take same day bookings and my prices are negotiable for all services depending on distance and needs :) I am currently available full time to care for your fur baby like my own ❤️ If your baby doesn’t play well with others and needs one on one care, I am more than happy to discuss appropriate environment and rates for accommodating that request. I have worked closely with well respected trainers and I am confident and comfortable training or even strengthening most basic behavior skills for both you and your pup. I have a really great understanding of pet owners and how different we can all be with our ideas of how to properly care for our pets. That means whether you require following strict rules and a disciplined lifestyle or you choose to let them run the show with no such thing as rules, I wholeheartedly respect each owners way of caring for their pets without judgement. My goal is always to keep your fur baby comfortable, happy, healthy and safe while giving you peace of mind knowing that that is exactly what’s happening every second they are in my care ❤️

“Our first experience booking with Rover and we couldn't be more happy with how our little Bella was cared for. Bexaida did an amazing job watching our pup and kept me updated throughout the day on how she was doing. It was our first time being away from our Bella and we were nervous and sad to leave her. When I saw the way Bexaida interacted with her own puppies, I knew my Bella would be in great hands. I would recommend Bexaida to care for your furry friend! ?”
