Doggy Day Care Galivan

“Our dog’s stay with Anu was great. He’s an anxious dog and can be weary of strangers but he had a good time staying with Anu at her house. When I picked up Fox he was relaxed and happy. She was accommodating and super easy to coordinate with. We’d happily leave him with Anu again.”

“Claudia was very kind and responsible with our Golden girl. We are always nervous about leaving her for the first time, but Claudia was very loving and sent photos showing how happy and relaxed she was. We came home to a happy, tired pup. Highly recommend.”

About: Dogs have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up with German Shepherds, a Cocker Spaniel, and a mixed-breed dog. Later, when I started my own family, we welcomed Fiera, our Labrador Retriever. She grew up alongside my children—they were like siblings and partners in crime. If you’ve ever had a Lab, you know exactly what I mean. 😁 When Fiera was about five years old, Glitch, our little Shihpoo, joined the family. Fiera crossed the Rainbow Bridge at 13, and we still miss her every day. 💗 Making your pup feel safe and cared for is my priority. If your dog isn’t acting like themselves, isn’t eating normally, or just seems “off,” I’ll notice and I’ll let you know. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions, whether it’s feeding routines, walks, medications, or special care. I have experience giving oral medications, eye and ear medications, topical treatments, and subcutaneous injections when prescribed by a veterinarian. When I’m caring for your dog, I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages. While you’re away, I’m also happy to bring in mail and packages, water indoor or outdoor plants, rotate lights if requested, and help keep your home looking lived-in. Just let me know what you need, and I’ll do my best to help. 🐾 Health & Safety For the health and safety of all pets in my home, all dogs staying with me must be current on veterinarian-recommended vaccinations and on an active flea and tick prevention program. I understand that some dogs may be unable to receive certain vaccines or use standard flea/tick preventatives for medical reasons. If your dog has a documented medical restriction, please let me know before booking so we can discuss your veterinarian’s recommendations and determine whether I can safely accommodate your pet. All boarding guests must arrive flea- and tick-free. If fleas or ticks are discovered during your dog’s stay, I will contact you before administering any treatment. The pet parent will be responsible for the cost of any approved treatment, as well as a $100 flea cleaning fee to cover the additional cleaning and sanitizing required in my home. Any extraordinary professional pest-control expenses resulting from an active infestation may also be the pet parent’s responsibility. Please also let me know in advance about any medical conditions, medication sensitivities, vaccine reactions, allergies, or other important health information. ❤️ I’m currently completing professional training from home, so I spend most of my day at home. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of companionship for the pets in my care. Our home is shared with our small dog, Glitch, and our indoor cat, Vinnie. Both are important members of our family. Glitch enjoys having canine visitors, and he has always done well with dogs in our home. To keep everyone safe and comfortable, I carefully introduce dogs and only accept dogs that are friendly with cats. We have a fully fenced yard. I’m happy to accommodate your dog’s normal routine, including using a crate if they’re already crate trained and comfortable with it.

“Katie was AMAZING. She is so sweet and my boy had so much fun with her. She sent me multiple pictures and videos throughout the day. She was very responsive. I would def come back to her and recommend her to anyone! ?”

“Saeedeh was very loving to my little Miss Sadie. I will use her again when we are in the area. She took her for a walk and included her in their family gathering.”

About: Hello! I have loved and taken care of dogs my whole life, from playful puppies to wise old adults. Through my years of experience I’ve developed a keen understanding of their behaviors and sense their needs. I have also worked and volunteered at fundraising events for Canine Companions, a national non-profit organization that provides highly trained service dogs to people with disabilities. Not so long ago my precious companion of 15 years, a Wheaten Terrier passed away, so I have a big place in my heart and home to love and care for your dog. Flexible. I live in a wonderful dog friendly community with lots of green space, and enjoy taking dogs for walks in nearby parks. I have plenty of time to play with you dog. Please Note: Doggy Day Care in my home is for 8 hours. Every dog has its own unique personality and needs. I am sensitive and flexible to ensure your dog’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. By knowing their specific needs, I can tailor our outings to ensure a positive and enjoyable experience for both of us.

About: I grew up with dogs and spent 10+ years caring for my own rescue dog, Jack. I spent 5+ years volunteering at an animal shelter, fostering dogs, and taking shelter dogs running. I have completed dog training courses for all of those activities. I understand just how much trust it takes to put your dog in someone else’s care. I’m attentive, patient and affectionate, and I treat every dog as an individual with their own personality, routines and needs. I have extensive experience with senior dogs and the additional care they may require, including administering medications, preparing special meals, assisting with mobility, adapting walks and activities, and following detailed care routines. I’m also very observant of changes in behavior, appetite, energy and comfort. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs—whether that means a good walk, playtime, exploring outside, or simply keeping them company at home. I’m reliable and responsible, and I’ll follow your instructions carefully so your dog can stay as close as possible to their normal routine while you’re away. My apartment is large, spacious, and quiet. I am in the first floor so it is accessible for senior dogs. I have a gated patio which adds security to the front area. My complex is quiet and has walking paths and grassy areas, with very few dog owners - and we keep our dogs separate and away from each other. Your dog will be safe and secure with me. I work remotely and have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care. I can easily accommodate regular walks, feeding schedules, medications, playtime and companionship throughout the day. I’m active and enjoy walking, but I love senior pets who prefer a quiet day at home. I’ll do my best to maintain your pet’s normal schedule so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. I set up my apartment for my senior dog so that it was safe and comfortable for him until he passed. I love being on the first floor, have a low bed, and covered the floors with rugs. I love senior pets especially. I have a quiet and calm home. Overall I take caring for someone else’s pet and home seriously. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding, walks, medications, household rules and any special routines your pet is accustomed to. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, mobility or comfort and will communicate with you if anything seems unusual. I’m also respectful of your home and will keep it clean, secure and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to provide regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, comfortable and getting plenty of attention.

“Wiley loved Suzanne. Her inviting home and large backyard gave him space to explore and be safe. She is attentive and made sure my pet felt welcomed. Wiley was quite comfortable and well cared for. Thx, Suzanne!”

About: Hi, I’m Samantha—your pet’s new favorite human. My friends voted me “Most Likely to Come Home from a Girls Weekend with a Dog,” and I wear that title proudly. I’ve been caring for animals my whole life—from horses and dogs on my grandparents’ farm to fostering pets and building cat walls in my spare time. I speak fluent cat and dog (yes, I understand the slow blink and the “where are you?” meow). I’m upbeat, funny, and dependable—and I’ll treat your fur-kids like family. When Auntie Samantha visits, pets get greeted first. It’s not personal—it’s priorities. I aim to build respectful, lasting partnerships with pet parents, and I’ll keep you updated with pics and notes so you always know your pet is safe, loved, and maybe a little spoiled. Since I work from home and for myself, my work schedule is very flexible. I enjoy helping others care for their four legged kids, since I remember never having enough time when I was younger. Our fur kids are very used to new siblings coming in the home. We have been fostering for PACT FOR ANIMALS for years. They provide foster homes for military personnel.

About: Searching for a trusted dog walker in Ladera Ranch? I’m Brittany, a local dog lover who can’t wait to give your pup a fun, safe, and happy walk! I have two dogs of my own, Taro and Ruckus, and they’ve taught me just how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your pets. They WILL NOT be joining our walks, so your dog will have my full attention the entire time. I’ve spent years walking, feeding, caring for, and loving dogs, and I know every pup is different. Some want to power walk, some want to stop and sniff every tree, and some just need a little extra patience. I’m happy to follow your dog’s routine and go at whatever pace makes them comfortable. Since I live right here in Ladera Ranch and work from home, I have a flexible schedule and know the local neighborhoods and walking paths well. Whether your dog needs a quick potty break, a midday walk while you’re at work, or a longer adventure to burn off some energy, I’m happy to help. Since I work from home I’m able to fit to your schedule needs! Early mornings or late evening are totally fine since I can accommodate most schedules I have a friendly neighborhood with sidewalks and a large grassy park for walks. I always use a leash and am alert watching for other pups who might be walking near us.

About: My name is shae. I’ve been working with animals for over 15 years. I started off volunteering at the Yucaipa Animal Placement Society and fell in love with every single animal that I was able to help and meet. Ever since I was younger my dream job always involved working with and helping animals, so I decided to become a pet sitter to do what I love. When your kiddo is with me I will spoil, love, and take care of them like I would my own baby. 🐾 I’m experienced with senior animals as well as special needs. I customize the activities and my stay for each animal because I know every kiddo has their own unique personalities and quirks. I hope to get the opportunity to work with and love your fur baby! I work with or volunteer with animals whenever I can. Each time I receive any request to love or care for a fur baby I plan my days or scheduling to accommodate the stay or check in. When I care for your baby in your home I’m always vigilant. I can crate pets if needed, but prefer to be near and close to ensure safety.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and now share my home with a sweet, calm Golden Retriever who loves making new friends. She enjoys cozy naps, gentle play, and relaxed companionship with other dogs. I work from home, so your pup will have attentive company throughout the day. They can enjoy supervised time in my secure fenced backyard, along with potty breaks, affection, gentle play, and plenty of restful downtime indoors. I’ll follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible and send photo updates so you can see they are safe, comfortable, and enjoying their day. My home is best suited to calm dogs with low to medium energy who enjoy a quieter pace. I want every pup, including my own, to feel relaxed and comfortable, so I’m a particularly good fit for dogs who like gentle play, cozy naps, and a peaceful day with caring company. I work from home full time, so your dog will have attentive company throughout the day. My calm Golden Retriever, Gigi, enjoys gentle play, cozy naps, and spending time with other easygoing dogs. Your dog will stay in a calm, comfortable home with access to a secure fenced backyard with artificial turf. I keep the home cool and will be home throughout their stay to supervise, provide care, and make sure they feel settled. I host only one visiting dog at a time, in addition to Gigi, so each guest gets individual attention. This is a great fit for calm dogs with low to medium energy who enjoy gentle companionship.

About: I’ve grown up with many dogs and cats my whole life so I have lots of experience taking care of them and I’m able to communicate with them very well. I’m living in a big house with a fenced back yard with grass where dogs can play, run, and relax freely in a very safe gated community. Safety and happiness are the priority of their stay with me so I give them all my attention and care exclusively. Also have a big park conveniently located a few steps away and love every dog like it is my own! I enjoy long walks and sending updates to owners while they are away. I’m looking forward to seeing your dog! (＊)I prefer smaller dogs/ puppies under 5 lbs that need special care, attention and private environment. (＊)I’m very well experienced with taking care of small dogs and senior dogs.I will be always there for them and make them feel protected and loved. I’m always staying at home so my time schedule is very flexible. I’m able to take care of dogs from morning to night with special care and attention for 7 days / week! I prefer small/ tiny dogs under 5 pounds. I’m living in a big house with a private fenced back yard with grass in a safe gated community plus a beautiful park nearby so dogs can play, run, and relax freely. I don’t have any pets or small kids in my house so I can give your dogs special care and attention exclusively!

About: The reflection of a person reflects how a domesticated animal will come to be. Thoughts like these make me want to understand more of why we were put on this world. Animals make me happy. They do things so flowingly and naturally and it’s so unique because it’s so simple. They don’t want to do it, they just do it. Each dog and cat all have their quirks and differences which is why they are so special to me being that all animals are special as well. These thoughts and experiences help me into exploring more of what I want to be as a person with animals and how this could help me to become what I aspire in being and beyond. I go to the gym almost everyday about an hour and a half. I go out most of the weekends usually between 2pm to 1am. 3 adults also live in our household and they already take care of most of the pets in our household. Every single moment counts as animals are in every single moment as well since they are being. To this moment I am still learning to understand all of my pets, they all have their differences and that is what I love so much. I have be different with each one. Adapting is such a big challenge for me because it can require a vast amount of patience and effort. Sometimes things will not go the way you want it to and that’s ok. There will always be another moment to try. These thoughts and reasons are what I want to apply when I’m studying new animals and how I can gain their trust.

About: I grew up with dogs and cats and have extensive experience watching animals. Neighbors and friends have always relied on me watching their pets while out of town or on vacation. I will gladly welcome your fur child into our home! I’m working part time from home and have lots of availability to watch your pets! I also enjoy going on long walks in my neighborhood and Stella and I can always use some company! I have lots of walking and pet friendly trails in my community.I will make sure your pets are safe and treat them as one of my own 😊
