Doggy Day Care in Gabilan Acres

“Jennifer and her family are great! Bennett loves playing their dogs and cuddling on the couch with everyone. Jennifer makes the whole process so easy and is great at communicating needs, updates, and photos. I will absolutely continue taking Bennett to Jennifer for daycare or boarding and would recommend her if you’re looking for somewhere safe and comfortable for your dog to stay.”

“Susan is amazing! A little background on me, I got my baby Kyro as an ESA, and he’s really been that for me. When I’m away from him I suffer from really bad separation anxiety, meaning I can’t stop thinking of what he might be doing and I even get extremely emotional to the point I can’t stop crying. I recently went to Vegas to visit my brother and I’m usually able to fly with Kyro since he’s my ESA, but because of the whole pandemic I thought it would be best for Kyro to stay with a sitter back home. The entire trip I was crying, I was just an emotional wreck and I just thinking about how Kyro was doing. The sitter wasn’t being responsive to me, I would ask for pictures and would get a reply 2 days later. It was just a bad experience for both of us, it made my anxiety worst and caused me to come back early. When I came back I found out he was being caged during his entire stay despite me telling the sitter that he didn't do good in cages. I found out because he even hurt himself trying to get out of the cage. Well after that I was obviously very skeptical leaving him with another sitter but after Kyro’s stay with Susan I have no doubt in my mind that Kyro and I will be going back with her. As soon as Kyro got home from Susan’s he went straight to sleep, he was worn out from all the playing her and her dog. I highly recommend her! She sent out pictures of Kyro’s stay which is always a plus. We did a meet and greet prior to the sitting and she made me feel comfortable from the get go. She explained her routine and introduced us to her pets, she also showed us her backyard and let me tell you my Kyro loved it! There’s plenty of space and grass area. Something that I was worried about was Kyro’s meals, he only does raw food and she was nice enough to accommodate to his needs and provide the attention he requires during his meal time. Also she’s very responsive through messages which always makes it easier on someone with my situation. Thanks Susan, not only are you helping me take care of Kyro but you’re also helping me ease my separation anxiety I have with him.”

“Keren was great with our dogs. they had a wonderful time going to the dog park and the beach. We were able to relax and truly enjoy some time away from them because we knew that were in good hands. Keren is highly competent with all sizes of dogs and a kind substitute when we were not available. The dogs didn't have to stay in a hot car or all alone in an rv while we went out to play.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child, having had 3 dogs growing up, and now have my own dog, a Mini Schnauzer. I believe in positive training and care, letting our best furry friends live their best lives while with us, so there will be lots of naps, play and even beach time (with your permission of course!) I work from home with my own consultancy business so I have a lot of flexible time to care for your pet. I love spending time with animals and incorporate that with my daily activities, I can give them several short walks and play, and also plenty of naps and rest. I have a small side yard and have access to a small dog park nearby our community. I have one friendly dog but can separate him if needed, ie your pet can be downstairs and my dog can be upstairs. If you prefer your dog to be crated, I can do that as well.

“So friendly and helpful with an amazing family that kept my pups happy! Definitely going back to her on my next visit back !”

About: I live in a very dog friendly community. Across the street from my house is a big grass area for the dogs to play. Down the street is a dog park and a baseball field to play fetch and for the dogs to have time to just be dogs. Because I live so close to old Fort Ord there are numerous trails within walking distance from my house to take the pups on an adventure. During the week I work at a barn where I get to bring the dogs to work with me, so your pet would be with me 24/7. My dogs are extremely friendly and I’ve fostered dogs in the past. After work I usually take my dogs to the beach or on a long walk. They get fed am and pm and will be flexible to your dogs needs. They are more than welcome to sleep on the bed with me or use one of the two massive dog beds I have. Let’s not forget about the abundance of dog toys I have to keep everyone happy!!! I work at a barn so the dogs come to work with me. While working, they get free range of the office. Throughout the day I take them out numerous times for potty brakes. After work we go on a long walk or play ball down the street from from my house in the field. I have two small backyards the dogs have full access to. My larger pup doesn’t like to use the yards to go potty so I take him on routine walks to do his business. Again, I do work, but the pups always come with me so they are never left home alone.

“Mike & Lynne are Salinas’ best kept secret! They are every dog owner’s dream dog watchers! They are always home, they love going on walks and are super sweet! They have a way of making us and our dog Zuzu feel like family. My husband and I enjoyed talking with them and Zuzu had a great time climbing over Mike, who laid on the grass to play with her. They were very communicative with us before and during Zuzu’s stay. I would def recommend them and we will be taking Zuzu back!”

“Chelsea and her sweet girl, Stella, were great. I was grateful for the frequent picture updates of Diesel and could tell he was having a blast. Our pups got along well and were fast friends. Highly recommend Chelsea and will book again in the future!”

“Jacqueline watched our pup for a few hours while we passed through town so we could visit the aquarium. Zulie was in high spirits when we picked her up and slept the whole way home. We are very appreciative of Jacqueline's accommodation on short notice.”

“I highly recommend Maria. She and her husband are such great sitters, Caramello had a good time with their lovely dogs, she was phenomenal in keeping me updated on Caramello. She’s very responsive and friendly.”

“Jaqueline was kind and accommodating and my dogs felt very comfortable with her. She took them on a walk in a nice park area and they were relaxed and happy when I arrived to pick them up. Well done!”

About: I've taken care of dogs since 2020, from small to big. I can say that I am very reliable and responsible when it comes to dogs as I see them as children. I have owned a Rottweiler, Bitbulls, Chihuahua, and a Maltese. I can take any dog in as long as they aren't too aggressive. I can handle anxious dogs as I have one myself I have learned to become more soft and not have people or other dogs stimulate them too much. I'm working part-time and only work on weekends so I should have time to take care of dogs almost any day. I will be available every day of the week. I am flexible with time so you can message me about that and we can sort that out together. I will not be able to take in pets at my home since I do have a small dog and he stays in my room, (he's a very anxious dog so I wouldn't be able to have pets around him.) As for taking care of pets in your home give me the instructions and I can follow them accordingly. I'm fine with having to give the dogs baths myself or taking them on walks or just playing with them!

“Good communication. Would book again!”

About: If you board with me, your pet won’t have a boring day. I will give my full undivided attention, we will go for a walk or two and there will be treats. I’ll make sure to keep you updated with beautiful photos as well :) I’m primarily available on the weekends but am quite flexible. Please reach out if you have any questions. I can’t wait to hear from you :) I live in an apartment but will make sure we spend time outdoors. I have a huge warm dog kennel that your pet can use :)

About: Most of my life I grew up caring for animals. I love animals and I treat them with great care. I volunteered at a veterinarian Hospital for two years. I walk dogs for Hitchcock Road in Salinas and also volunteer at the SPCA! I have worked with a variety of types of animals with different temperaments. I am excited to help your furry family member any way that I can! Weekends are open! I can also walk pets after 6pm or early in the mornings at 8 am. Let me know the date and I can certainly make adjustments! I will play with your pet, make sure your pet is doing great. Show the love a surrogate mother would show to a family member. And I will take them on long walks! For cats I would make sure they get plenty of toys to play with and have a relaxing environment.
