Doggy Day Care in Gordola

“Oliver did great with Jenna and her family. When I picked him up he was very happy, in good spirits, and loved hanging out with all of them. He got lots of play time and was all tuckered out when I picked him up. They were all very kind and I could tell they had fun with him. I would highly recommend Jenna and her family. :)”

“Yajaira is amazing, communicative and wonderful. She would give us updates with messages and pictures. She made it feel very safe to have our dog in her care. Would highly recommend.”

Medina S.

“Nela did great with Lisa! This was our first time leaving her with a stranger and she did great. We got lots of pictures and updates. Would definitely book with Lisa again!”

“Sandy really loved her time with Denise and Quarky. She tried to run back into Denise's house as we were putting her in the car, so we'll definitely have to book again, the next time we're in Santa Cruz. Denise was easy to communicate with and drop-off/pick-up was a breeze.”

“Blue enjoyed her latest visit with Marina, as always. We know Blue is very well taken care of when she’s with Marina. Lots of walks and love are Blue’s favorite things, and Marina delivers.”

About: I treat every pet like they’re my own and do my best to become emotionally in tune with each pet I work with to ensure they feel at ease around me as I adapt to their unique quirks, routines, and needs. I am happy to bathe any dogs and take care of any messes that may be made. More than anything, I am very communication oriented and promise to provide prompt updates/photos/check-ins so you always know what we’re up to! I am currently living with my 14lb. dog so if you’re okay with puppy play dates that would be great! Otherwise, I will be out of town from July 1-10, but am happy to take care of any pets during any other time. In my home, I provide a safe and loving environment where pets can feel at home. I will stick to their normal routines whether that be long walks and playtime, or lots of rest and cuddles, or any combination of them! I never leave pets unattended for long and make sure they have water, comfy spots to rest, and all of my love and attention. In clients’ homes, similar to mine, I stick to the pet’s routines while also respecting your space. Whether it is daily visits, or short drop-ins, I want to make sure your pet feels safe in their routine and environment. I am very detail-oriented and will take instructions very literally and will follow them carefully. Most importantly, I will provide as many updates, photos, or messages as you want to keep you up to date with what we’re up to and ensure everything is up to your standards.

“Nancy definitely receives a 6 star review! Loved Nancy and her pups at the meet and greet before I dropped my puppy. I received pictures of my puppy, Hali'a, throughout the day which gave me piece of mind that she was happy. When I picked her up after 12 hours, Hali'a was pretty tired . A pooped puppy is a good puppy. We will definitely be seeing Nancy again❣️”

“Abby had a fantastic day with Geoff and his pups, she didn't miss me a bit and came home happy and completely tuckered out from playing. Awesome experience, and we look forward to booking another visit :)”

“Be honest Guillermo is the first rover I will leave review for. He's very patient to the puppy. My dog is a young eskimo who is very hyper everyday. Guillermo brought my dog for several walks everyday and send me pictures. My dog came back home tired lol. He's very responsible as well! My dog learn several tricks from him. He's the best rover I've met. I go travel a lot. I will definitely come back if I travel.”

About: Hi I'm Mariah! I'm a lifelong dog lover and experienced caretaker based in the Santa Cruz mountains. I've raised and cared for small and large breeds (I have a black lab myself!) and understand the energy, love, and patience pets need. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give your pet plenty of time, attention, and movement-whether it's long walks, hikes, beach visits, or calm companionship. I'm reliable, respectful of your home, and treat every pup like family. I am surrounded by nature trails and have a very friendly black lab at home to keep your fur baby company. I can also crate your pup if preferred. Whether you need check-ins, overnight care, or just someone to keep your dog happy and active while you're away, I'm here to help!

“So glad we found Shannon and Chris!! They are clearly dog people and made our pup feel right at home. He can have his quirks so we’re grateful that they were so understanding and easygoing. We’ll definitely book with them again!”

About: I’m not just a sitter—I’m your pup’s new beach buddy, morning walk pal, and snack-time sidekick! I adopted my dog Gino in 2018 after he came out of surgery and needed some extra love. Since then, we’ve cared for everything from playful puppies to wise old seniors, always starting the day with a good walk and lots of positive energy. I tune in to each dog’s vibe, whether they want to zoom, snuggle, or just sniff every blade of grass. Your pup’s comfort and joy come first with me! My schedule is currently very flexible, so caring for pets fits in naturally. Gino and I have a steady routine—morning walks before breakfast, midday strolls, and evenings at the beach. Daily movement, sunshine, and connection with pups have always been part of our rhythm, no matter how busy life gets. At my home, pets are treated like family—welcome on the couch or comfy in their own bed. We hang out in the fenced backyard, soak up sun, and follow their lead—fetch for the playful ones, chill time for the observers (Gino loves being the audience!). I adjust to each dog’s vibe to make them feel right at home.

“Karen has kept my newly adopted shelter terrier dog numerous times and I can’t say enough for her care for him. He was reticent at first without me, but after the very first visit, anytime we drive near her street he starts jumping all over the car to get out to see her. She gives him lots of exercise and love, and herself is a very warm and likeable person. I recommend her highly.”

“First time ever leaving Diego with someone and I was so surprised at how comfortable Helen and her mom made him. She did great keeping communication and sending pictures, 100/10 recommend”

“Lucia was awesome with Squid. So attentive to his needs and she brought him back to us incredibly tired. That’s hard to do!!”

About: Hi All! Thank you so much for thinking of me for your pet care needs! About Me :~) I absolutely love dogs! And I enjoy seeing the delight of pet-parents as I connect with and love up their furbabies like family. I have experience with various breeds including Border Collies, Rhodesian Ridgebacks, Goldens, Labs, Terriers, and love caring for them all. I have some puppy training experience and am happy to continue with the training routines you are currently working on. I also love caring for older dogs and am comfortable administering medicine. I enjoy being active, going for walks, throwing the ball, and supporting their needs. I will communicate with you regularly while you are away. Please feel free to talk to me about any questions or concerns you have. Look forward to talking more! I have a flexible schedule and usually go to my office for about 4 hours per day, so have time go check in on the pets. I am conscientious about caring for my client’s home and leave them clean. I stick to their schedules and spend plenty of time playing with and pampering them. I tend to be out of the house for a few hours on MWF, though have a generally flexible schedule and can support your pet's needs. I keep the rules you have set in place with your animals around what they are and aren’t allowed to do, and care for your house like my own.

“My pup very much enjoyed meeting and staying with Coral during doggy day care. Coral was very sweet and accommodating, I highly recommend contacting Coral for day care services! I received multiple picture updates and I could see that my dog was well cared for. We hope to visit Santa Cruz and Rylee hopes she gets to play with Coral again soon!!”

About: I’ve just moved back to my home town Santa Cruz after living in Australia, I’m happy to be back! I know the area and community very well so your pup is sure to be in great hands. I’ve worked with woofpack here in Santa Cruz, a social club for dogs, walking dogs in packs and practicing leash training and animal behavior training. I have years of experience on Rover and also volunteering at animal rescues all over the world! from grooming to walking to overnight care, your dog will get the best care! I love all dogs, big or small, young or old. Cats too! I am excited to hopefully get to know you and your fur baby soon! :) I have a very flexible schedule as I am just getting back into my routine of animal care! I would love to get to know your dog on a consistent basis as that forms the best connection and trust :) Unfortunately I cannot provide services in my own home, due to other animals in the house not getting along with dogs. But I am very trusted within the community and have many referrals for offering overnight services in the clients home if that is what your looking for!

“Lauren was a great sitter and took great care of my boy! She sent me updates throughout the day and I could tell he was a happy dog. Highly recommend!”

“Danielle was terrific with our 1 year old pup. She watched him for about 8 hrs and took him to the beach and walk in the forest! Loved the photos. Highly recommend!”
