Doggy Day Care in Groveland

“Stacey took great care of Cody while we spent 2 days exploring Yosemite. Her location was great, she was very flexible with our drop off and pick up times, and she kept us updated throughout the day with photos. Cody seemed to get along well with her 2 dogs, came home super tired both days, and was excited to return on the 2nd day (as close as you'll get for a doggy recommendation)! I would absolutely use her again and recommend her for anyone traveling as there aren't many convenient locations for boarding near the park. Plus the one-on-one attention is so much better than a kennel!”

“Angie took great care of our dog while we were at Yosemite. You could tell she cares very much about dogs and wants to make sure they’re happy and comfortable.”

“Jamie was great with my dog. She was super responsive and caring. She sent me daily videos of her playing which put me at ease. My dog was already excited to go back the following day! Her dogs got along great with mine and we will definitely be going back to her again.”

“We felt so comfortable leaving our pup with Jennifer for the day! She sent pictures and videos throughout the day so we knew he was having a good day 😌. I would trust her again in a heartbeat! It even seems like our pup was ready to make a friend with hers. Coming back to a well taken care of, happy dog was the cherry on top of a great day. 10/10 - thank you Jennifer!”

“Melanie is the most energetic, compassionate and loving person with pets and children. I have 6 pets and Melanie has stayed with them more than once and they are not easy! Hiring Mel will be a gift to your dog, and to Mel, as she loves to be outdoors and genuinely enjoys the company of your pet.”

“David did a great job caring for my dog, Rags. He was very responsive and flexible with pick up and drop off. My dog went on walks and ate his food, even though he is often too anxious to do so with other sitters.”

“My family and I went on a cave expedition tour at the Moaning Caverns. First time leaving our dog Lucky with anyone. Crystal was amazing, such a bright and warm personality. Lucky took shine to her right away. We had a couple hiccups ( we forgot to leave her pack with Crystal) it had her ball and food and blanket. We apologized and felt horrible, but Crystal reassured us that it wasn't a problem and she had plenty of food and toys to keep her occupied. By the time we picked her up and got back to her our hotel Lucky was exhausted from all the playing she did. Thank you Crystal! We appreciate you so much! Please if in the area and you need a sitter for your fur baby Crystal is the one to reach out to!”

“Cal has both house-sat and dog-sat for me. They took great care of my 2 pups, each of which have their own unique needs (one is people-anxious and the other is dog-reactive). Cal took exceptional care of them, with daily walks and lots of love and attention. They also left my home very neat and tidy. Highly recommend for either dog-sitting or house-sitting.”

About: Devoted animal lover! Growing up surrounded by pets, I've created a space where animals naturally find comfort. As an adult, I now have my own sweet girl name Maggie; she is a 10 year old boarder collie/jack russell and my newest addition, a coonhound pup name Bo! I am surrounded by national forest land and have plenty of trails steps from the house. Your dog will remain safe in the premises of my home. I have a home any dog would love!! I love spending time with dogs and I have plenty of energy to entertain and exercise your pup! 🐶❤️ 🏃🏽‍♀️ I have experience caring for all kinds of dogs with all sorts of personalities. Looking forward to caring for your furry friend! I have a very flexible schedule that can easily work around whatever days I am caring for pets. Early morning drop offs/pick ups preferably but not necessary. I will take all safety precautions to keep your pet safe with me. *My vehicle is dog friendly. *I have walking areas near my house. *I have a partially fence yard. *The dogs are never left home alone. *I have extra leashes for your dog.

“Kinny was super easy to coordinate and communicate with. She took lots of pics of Bruno and it looked like he had a good time cuddling up with Kinny. Would definitely use Kinny again on future trips. Thanks so much!!!”

“Snow had a good time and we got some great tips from your hubby about correcting bad pup behavior. We really appreciate your patience with our pup. Thanks so much!”

“When we dropped Finley off with Elizabeth she was, of course, nervous to be in a new place with someone she didn’t know. When we picked her up, out walked a calm, happy pup. Appreciated the pictures we received while we were away. Would definitely recommend Elizabeth!”

“She is reliable and trustworthy. And updated me often while I was out of town which is very comforting. I love how Cassie pays attention to detail. She wanted to make sure that she knew my pup, from treats, routine and how he likes to play catch. She was also willing to work around my schedule on such short notice.”

About: Willing to take care of most any dogs of all shapes and sizes, while watching your home. I love all animals but am most fond of dogs :) Although I grew up with cats, I am not generally a cat person unless they are super chill/nice. My grandparents owned a pet store in Alameda when I was younger called "The Living Picture" and I had to feed/water all the animals, so I do have the experience, but I'd say more recently it's just been dogs and the occasional cat. Just let me know what you have, and I'll let you know my comfort level. :) I am willing to travel outside of my area (Dorrington/Big Trees) for pet sitting but would like to keep dog walking and drop-ins to my general area of Big Trees/Arnold/Murphys. If you do not live in those areas, then it would be a 1 hour minimum for all walking & drop-in services. I'm currently available full-time for pet/house sitting so I will be able to give both your beloved animal(s) and your home my full attention (as long as I'm not booked)! I will keep my calendar up to date so you can rely on what it says. While pet/house sitting I will walk and play with your fur-baby(s) as much as they like or can handle. I will also send photos to you on a daily basis! I am willing to do other things like pick up dog poop in your yard (if that is where they go), bring in mail, water plants, etc. My rates are set for everyday animals and not 'special needs', so if your doggie or cat needs special attention or has behavioral issues then my rate would go up and reflect the amount of extra care or attention your fur baby requires.

About: Your dog's favorite activities and indulgences will be paramount when in my fun-loving care. Your dog will feel happy, playful, relaxed and will be like family in his/her home or home away from home. Upon meeting me at your home, my home or a neutral site, you will easily sense that I'm a genuinely good, decent man, a loving "dog person" and that I'll treat your dog with the attentive love I treat my own dog. I know from experience, that gaining a loving and reliable sitter is hard to find and provides peace-of-mind security. Your dog will enjoy his/her/their time with me and will be safe with me. Walks, exhausting activities and belly rubs INCLUDED! Text messages with video and photos of your dog and live webcam INCLUDED! Please contact me so we may schedule a meet and greet. I work full time from my home office, so your pup will enjoy lasting attention. I work a part-time gig that takes me away from home for a few hours per week. If pets are introduced into my home, I gently take lead and show the dogs how to be comfortable and adjust. If I am introduced into a pets' home, we allow a meet and greet specific to your dogs' needs. Then, we tour your home so that you may convey instructions.

“Molly has a horse, goats, chickens, a cat and two dogs. She has a huge heart for animals and understands the responsibilities that come with taking care of animals. She was born an animal lover and your pet(s) will absolutely adore her!!!!”

I do have 2 outdoor 12X10 kennels set up. I would never let a dog go out potty without me on a leash. I spend about 30 minutes outside with my own dogs every 1.5 hours. I am outside most of the day unless it’s extremely hot or cold. I am with the animals 24/7. If your dogs likes to be outside I can put them in the kennels for extra outside time. If they like to be inside I can leave them inside while I take other dogs pee. I have a Furbo camera installed so I can view them at all times.
