Doggy Day Care In Gaslamp Quarter

About: I used to have a cat and a hamster and currently own a dog. I have personally trained him and he is now living with my family! I currently go to college in the morning so my availability will be the afternoons along with the weekends in the afternoon and night! I can do boarding on the weekends while caring during the afternoon on the week days! I enjoy playing or relaxing with your animal depending on what they like to do! For dogs, there is a pet relief area in my apartment building however if they are not comfortable with that and/or you have a senior dog, i do have fake grass on my patio right outside of my apartment!

“What more could you ask for! Thank you for being so welcoming and making us feel comfortable for our first rover experience. Very caring and communicative. Boba had a great time 😀”

“Isabella is incredibly caring and responsive. She kept us updated with messages and photos of our dog throughout the stay, which made us feel relaxed and at ease. I especially appreciated that we didn’t even have to ask! We’ll definitely use her daycare service again when we’re in San Diego. Highly recommended!”

About: Hello! I've been a dog-owner since age 5. I've owned and trained small, medium and large dogs -- from a 5 lb Yorkie to a 110 lb Doberman. I currently own a young adult male Bengal cat and young female French Bulldog who absolutely love dogs, and dogs typically love them right back! Best playmates in town :) Please feel free to reach out with any further questions or concerns you may have! I can’t wait to get to know your fur baby! ❤️ Prior to booking with me, I will require meeting you and your dog to make sure I'm the right fit, your dog is comfortable with me, and gets along with my dog. Thank you! Boarding Your Pet @ My Home — I work from home on a hybrid schedule so I am able to make sure your animal gets plenty of love, attention and walks! I am able to give baths as well, if needed. Dog-Walking — I am available during lunch time and after 5pm every day during the week. Weekends are open! My apartment building is very safe & secure! We have a courtyard in our complex and we have plenty of parks nearby to go play… We also have dog bathing facilities onsite at my apartment complex to bathe your pup!

“Alexandra was fantastic!! Great care taker, super responsive, very flexible on time (she accepted the job even tho i gave zero advance notice!). Plus she sent us pics of our dog proactively. Thanks Alexandra!!”

About: I have had many dogs and help take care of many dogs. I have never had a problem and dogs are always happy with me. Respectfully will only watch dogs that are friendly, loving, and not aggressive. I work full time from home so can be with your dog all day :) happy to walk them and play with them through out the day. They wouldn’t have to be locked up all day. I’ve had multiple dogs throughout life and currently have a rescue dog. She loves dogs and is very happy to make new friends. She will do great with your dog too

“Lara was absolutely the best at taking care of our pup Perseus. He got along well with her, she knew how to make him comfortable in a new place, and she sent pictures and videos during the day care.”

“Natalie was wonderful! She sent tons of pics, and made us feel comfortable with Ryder’s first overnight Rover. Would definitely book with her again!”

About: Hi There! 👋 Thanks so much for stopping by. I’m honored you’ve considered me to care for your precious pooch. I’m Alexandra! My care style is adaptive to your animal’s needs. Whether your doggo loves to get their steps in, or, is a relaxation expert, my care is best suited for their comfort. I know how nerve wrecking it can be to leave your doggo. My aim is to offer care that will keep your mind at ease, by cultivating a comfortable environment for your animal. I work from home, and have a flexible schedule. I’m available for daily walks, day time hangs, as well as in-house boarding. Caring for animals is truthfully my dream job, thank you for making it a reality! Although you’re likely here for dog sitting, my client list also includes cats, bunnies, and horses. I am deeply connected to animals, and am so grateful for the energy they bring into our lives! I’m here to help! Do not hesitate to reach out with any questions. I work from home Monday through Friday. I am also available on the weekends. Your doggo will be an effortless addition to our families routine. Doggos will have full access to our house, and large balcony. Equipped with a doggy door, elevated dog beds outdoors, your pooch will have indoor/outdoor access whenever their heart desires. I am also great with crate training, and will adhere to any needs. We have ample access to walking trails for exercise, and large spaces to sun bathe.

“Thank you, Leah, for giving Bodhi the space & time he needs in order to properly warm up to new humans and dogs. He’s had a rough life until now, but w/your help, he’s starting to be more trusting and willing to leave me. Thank you again!”

“Joanna was absolutely amazing with my dog Milo! She was super responsive, very nice, easy to coordinate care with and went above and beyond when taking care of him. I can’t recommend her highly enough!”

About: Dogs give us "2 paws up" for our slumber parties. :) Dogs are my cause. I've been nurturing and protecting them for 14 years. I've also learned from them and been protected by them ... because dogs are the best species on earth. I have a soft spot for senior, special-needs, and shy dogs. I’m a fiercely protective dog mom and dog Aunty whose beloved boy Django just passed away at 15. He was my heart dog and soul dog. Still is. He was a senior, arthritic, deaf dog with other special needs and health challenges. I dedicated my life to exceeding his needs whether emotional, mental, spiritual or physical, and whether about diet, lifestyle or environment. I became an integrative wellness practitioner for dogs so that I would be educated and prepared as Django went through different life stages. Some of his successes include overcoming separation anxiety, handling hearing impairment with grace, managing arthritis well, stopping tremors, beating liver disease, having agency about his time to die, and staying connected even now. I’ve taken care of dogs for the past 14 years, starting with Django (adopted then), his pals, neighbors’ dogs, and other clients. In New York City, I had a referral-based doggie B&B where I became Auntie to dozens and dozens of dogs through the years who would look forward to their sleepovers and playtime with Django. It was like sleepaway camp, but in a loving home. I’m new to this app, but I’ve done dog-sitting since moving to California as well as other pet care and animal wellness services - energy healing, animal communication, nutrition guidance, detox education, stress management support, and a digital course on holistic health for dogs. I’m certified in Reiki for animals, integrative health coaching, and am working on pet loss grief support services. I've also produced loads of events from dog birthday parties to celebrations of life, and from art exhibits to rock concerts and cultural festivals. With animal wellness coaching and my digital course, I’ve helped dog parents get clear on dietary, lifestyle and environmental choices for their dogs to optimize wellbeing and manage stress. Happy to share wellness tips and dog food resource guides I've created for clients. I’m an animal advocate and plan to foster dogs in need through TAP, Frosted Faces, and/or other rescues while I also volunteer at SD Humane Society. My husband is retired from FDNY EMS, and his first responder emergency medicine background has proven critically important with a few dogs in our care over the years. It’s a privilege to be with and care for animals. We are downtown near Seaport Village, lovely parks, and the waterfront in a mini-oasis of a community with our own lovely patio and HOA security. We would love to connect, meet your dogs, and have an opportunity to take care of them in our home. I'm currently working from home with my small animal wellness business beyond dog-sitting, and freelancing in event planning, so I have plenty of time to take care of your precious dogs. My husband and I welcome dogs throughout the house, including on our bed. We also have comfortable dog beds. Our large outdoor patio is a bonus in downtown San Diego, and it is enclosed with an artificial grass area for dogs if they need the relief between walks. We'd provide at least three walks per day as well. I always let dogs determine the pace as many walk more slowly than I would if walking alone. I'm always paying attention when walking dogs - not staring at my phone. I'm present and protective of the pups in my care. Healthy, delicious dog treats are plentiful here, though we believe in keeping dogs at ideal weights for their health. We will follow your lead and instructions when it comes to your dogs. There will always be filtered water available for the pups. At our home, you'll often find relaxing music on, nice natural light, and lots of comfortable spots for dogs to make themselves at home both inside and on our Zen patio. We keep our home at a comfortable temperature for the pups with fresh air flowing in, and we have AC or heat when needed. Toys are plentiful, but we can remove them if you're concerned about antlers or if your dog might be a chewaholic. We have kongs and puzzle feeders, too. I always give dogs extra attention at first - even if that means giving them space - so that they can acclimate to the new environment. When my dog Django was alive, he'd mentor the newcomers and show them the ropes. With few exceptions, the dogs adjusted quickly and saw our place as home away from home. I'm good at reading dogs' body language and understanding them on many levels, which includes determining if two dogs might need space from each other. We're fortunate to live in a community that welcomes dogs of all sizes and breed mixes. If you have a dog who needs to be the solo dog staying with us, that can often be arranged. We always want to discuss the dogs' needs, behavior, temperament, routine, likes and dislikes beforehand so that we can do our best to ensure a good fit. We like to have clients complete a client survey and a medical emergency form just to be prepared in the event of such an emergency if clients were unreachable.

“Amazing, amazing, amazing. So thoughtful, thorough, kind and gentle. My baby was so very well taken care of, with activity log of the day. Silke provided frequent but not obstrusive updates and photos throughout the day. She asked applicable questions to ensure appropriate care for Bella. Bella was so loved and well care for, that I am so appreciative and felt very much at ease with Silke's services. Thank you.”

“Michael and his wife cared for Goli like he was their own! Goli is high energy and can be a handful! They sent frequent pictures of Goli looking happy as can be! It felt like we sent Goli for a daycation? Definitely going to use their services again!?”

“Makenzie was an awesome dog sitter for our anxious pup, Junie. She went above and beyond to help us, was an excellent communicator, and very nice and responsive from booking till pickup. Definitely recommend. 5 stars!”

Leia B.

“We have used Melissa this last few weeks for day care and we have never been happier with a dog sitter. She is amazing and the real satisfaction is when our baby is clawing and jumping at the door to see her when we go to drop her off. Thanks Melissa for being a great friend to our baby girl.”

Charles B.

“Kat was great! Mole stayed with her while the rest of the family visited the San Diego zoo. She's super communicative and flexible with us. Would definitely recommend Kat!”

Jared H.

“Madhav and his dog were so welcoming to Spring for daycare. He is very responsive and was flexible when I had last minute schedule changes. Definitely will book again in the future!”

Megan H.

“Odalis was the perfect sitter for my dog. She radiates trust and kindness and I felt that my pup would be taken care of. When my pup was in her care, she played fetch with her and introduced her to their dog Jasper and our dogs became quick friends. She has a nice large grassy area in front of her apartment. I love that she sent me a couple of photo updates of my baby. I look forward to having her be my Rover again in the future.”
