Doggy Day Care in Healdsburg

About: Your dog will have our full attention in a calm environment where routine and comfort comes first. I specialize in creating a low stress, structured experience for puppies, seniors, and anxious dogs. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine as I work from home. Dogs receive consistent supervision, regular walks, and attention throughout the day with no long periods alone. My schedule includes a balance of walks, rest, and engagement, and I adjust easily to meet each dog’s needs whether that’s extra potty breaks for puppies, a slower pace for seniors, or a calm low stress environment for more anxious dogs. I provide a calm a calm, quiet, and dog friendly home designed to help dogs feel safe and at ease. Dogs are welcome on couches, beds, and anywhere they feel most comfortable, creating a familiar, low stress environment. Because I work from home, dogs receive consistent supervision, attention, and companionship throughout the day and are never left alone for extended periods. I keep my boarding limited so each dog gets personalized care in a structured, low stimulation setting. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I prioritize safe and enriching outdoor time with multiple daily walks to nearby parks and recreation areas, tailored to each dog’s energy level and needs. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, and those with anxiety. I take a patient, attentive approach to help each dog feel secure and settled. I follow your dog’s routine as closely as possible including feeding, walks, medications, and sleep preferences. Consistency and comfort comes first. I also provide regular photo and video and video updates so you can feel confident your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for. My goal is to create a reliable, high quality experience and build lasting relationships with both dogs and their families.

“Crystal did a great job watching Frank for a daycare, I could tell he felt right at home from the photos. He got a lot of playtime in with her dog Rosie, and the two hit it off pretty quickly after an initial meet and greet the evening before. Will definitely reach out to Crystal again in the future when I am traveling in the area!”

About: I will spoil your dog with attention and provide you with complete peace of mind. You can rest assured that your dog is safe and happy and getting the care you specify (such as health needs or special diet) and the love your dog wants (games, walks, toys, treats, hugs, and other canine amusements). I have a small white poodle, who loves to host friends. There is a half acre of fenced property for your dog to play and get fresh air. Dogs enjoy the outdoor furniture and indoor dog beds are abundant throughout the house. My work is part-time, online, and at my own pace, so I can easily shift my attention to your dog's needs for walks and playtime. I have a small fenced yard with artificial grass, and there is a large park at the end of the street, two or three small parks in the neighborhood, and a 2-mile trail to downtown. I have whatever a dog needs but ideally, pets should arrive with their own favorite "furniture," toys, and treats.

“Deborah is great! My pups were in good hands and she really enjoyed them. They had smiles on their faces and wagging tails when I got there to pick them up. I cannot recommend her more. Definitely would do repeat business with her again.”

“Kyle and his wife did a great job watching my 2 small dogs all day long for 2 days. They made sure all their needs were met and updated me throughout the day with pictures. Thank you, guys!”

“My pug LOVES spending time at Lauren and Ben’s house playing with all the dogs or just lounging on the floor. When we arrive, he tugs hard on his leash to get inside. It’s wonderful to know that when he’s away from home, he’s safe and happy in their care.”

About: Walks through Armstrong Redwoods are a favorite activity. I have a large yard and a dog friendly house. I have a couple of years experience working in a veterinary clinic giving me experience medicating animals, including giving injections. I have a pool for dogs who love to swim! I was a volunteer and puppy raiser for Canine Companions for Independence back in the mid to late 1980's, and a Puppy Petter for Assistance Dog Institute in the early 2000's. I've also kept busy with boarding in my home for friends and acquaintances. I love dogs!! I have Sundays and Mondays off from my full time job, but I can fit in a nice walk after 4 pm most other days. When I have someone's dog, they get my full attention; we play, exercise, snuggle. My focus is providing an enriching experience for your dog .

“Jeanne’s wonderful! She’s so lovely, calm, friendly, and warm. Jeanne’s home and garden are a paradise oasis of fun for humans and animals alike. Our dog loved her dogs, and they romped and played together. Jeanne also treated our pup to a walk through her beautiful, peaceful, safe neighborhood. We look forward to bringing our dog to visit Jeanne anytime.”

About: I'm extremely attentive to what the dog needs; whether it's rubs, water, or a bathroom break. By the end of the day, I'll be one of the dog's best buddies. I'm easy to get a hold of and can coordinate location, time, and availability. Both week days and weekends are great for me, just let me know! I'm a playmate but can also keep an eye on them if they want a little bit of space and freedom. I'll find the balance between safety and fun!

“Bernadette was wonderful with my rescue puppy Isabel!! It was her first time being left with someone, and I felt calm and confident knowing she was in Bernadette’s care. Bernadette clearly knows so much about animals and was very kind, understanding, and knowledgeable about Isabel’s communication and needs. I highly recommend Bernadette!!”
