Doggy Day Care in La Selva Beach

“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.”

“I had a last minute request for my friend who hasn’t used Rover before through my profile since I was watching her two dog babies earlier in the week. My friend had las minute cancellation of her dog sitter for her wedding day that was so stressful for her. Carlie response right away and made my friend and I felt very comfortable right away. I had a last minute request for her to pick up the babies at the wedding venue and she arrived on time and was lovely. I really appreciate you Carlie, you went above and beyond. I know Milo and Mac were in great hand.”

About: I live in the Corralitos mountains with 2 English Setters, Toby is 9 years old and Finnegan is 5 years old. We have a 15 acre property to walk/hike. We also have a stream to freshen up in hot days. Plenty of room to play. I’m home based and keep my eyes on the puppies 24/7. No better place to enjoy the outdoors and play with Toby and Finn (both are neutered, and super friendly with other dogs small or big) I’m home based, keep my eyes on my puppies 24/7. I give them lots of playtime and rest. I let them play outside several times a day and I also give them 2 daily long walks, morning and evening I have 15 acres of land, I like to offer them lots of time outside (always supervised). I also walk them inside the property to ensure daily exercise.

“Nieves is such a nice person! Our dog Buddy doesn’t usually warm up to people very quickly, but he was best buds with Nieves from the get go. She and her grandkids got along with Buddy like Mac and cheese. We really appreciated her taking him for the day so that we could go for a long mountain bike ride. We highly recommend her to any dog parent! She’s fantastic!”

About: I am attending school at UCSC for legal studies and have a robust knowledge of dog parks, dog-friendly beaches and trails from Santa Cruz to the City! If you’d like to socialise your dog, you’re in luck because I have a 10-month-old baby 🐾 of my own. We have tons of doggo friends for your pooch to meet if you choose, and no matter what, your dog is getting top-tier handling and care when you trust working with me! If there are behaviours you’d like to work on or would like me to be aware of, please do not hesitate to reach out, and we can discuss them further. I am available for full time pet care and when school resumes come the New Year, I will be available part time + still available to board if needed. There has not been an hour where I have not been in the company of 1 or more dogs since June 2024 I have a fenced yard for the dogs to go potty and run uninhibited. I have a small scale toy operation which means the dogs will have plenty to keep them occupied and if he/she would like to go home with their favourites, we can arrange for that too. I am capable of pickup and drop off as well as supervised visits to the park, creeks, the beach, trails, etc.

“Nohemi was great with pugs. She sent me a ton of pictures and was very accommodating to my schedule which is a huge plus. Pugs was worn out and tired by the time I got her back after spending the day at the beach. Would highly recommend Nohemi to anyone!”

“Keren is thorough and professional with her service! Upon meeting my lab she took her through simple steps to acclimate and make her feel comfortable in her surroundings! She asked lots of questions and made sure she had all the information needed to make my puppy and me feel welcome and less stress for the first time! When I picked up my puppy she was happy and had bonded with Keren and her children! My pup was tired and slept all the way home and throughout the evening! I would highly recommend Keren and plan on using her service if we go on vacation! I wouldn’t worry about my sweet lab while she is in Keren’s hands!!”

“Jacob and Leilani had a fun day. He’s a sweet, intelligent guy that has great tips and calm energy. I feel that’s exactly what she needed was that perfect match! I was so glad to find Jacob and that he was available within a day. That is a rarity! He had Leilani run as much as she wanted. She’s super happy! Thanks Rover and Jacob! Leilani’s Dad”

“Debra was very attentive and had the utmost respect when watching over our pups. Everything in her profile lives up to She was very responsive since we didn’t give her a definitive time when we were going to drop the pups off and was very flexible and accommodating. I will definitely use her when I return to Morro Bay and highly recommend her to anyone who needs babysitting. She constantly updated us with Picts and she has a huge backyard that allowed them to run around.”

About: Hello! My name is Alex and am I certified non-aversive, positive reinforcement dog trainer from (and still currently residing in), beautiful Santa Cruz, California. I ran my own canine training, boarding and day care in San Francisco (Golden Gate Good Boys LLC), for the last two years but I am starting over again, where I started as I have moved back home away from my clients in the city. I grew up with family cats and dogs and when I was in college I volunteered at shelters (Maxfund in Denver), and trained/fostered some of our senior citizens and more challenging residents (2 of which I ended up adopting: a blind and toothless pug named O and an elderly german shepherd). Many of the dogs we cared for had aggression issues, little to no training, no confidence and were fearful of people but we never gave up on them and as a result the vast majority of our dogs were adopted into their forever homes (Maxfund is a no kill shelter). At the end of the day I am above all else an animal lover at my core and since I moved back to Santa Cruz, unfortunately it was no longer making financial sense driving up to SF 5 days a week for my clients since the move. It would be my absolute pleasure to host your good boy or girl whether that’s a play date, a walk, day care, in-home boarding/house-sitting or training through my website. I am American Red Cross Canine and Feline First Aid certified as well! It would fit into my daily routine seamlessly! I currently work from home so my days are my own. I don’t have to report to an office and my freelance work (I provide video production, editing, motion graphics and audio engineering services when I’m not working with dogs for a number of clients in and out of state), allows me the freedom to choose my hours and stay at home. First off, I am first aid Canine and Feline American Red Cross certified in case anything happens to your family member. Secondly, It all depends on the needs of your pet! If you have a smaller dog, they’ll have to go out for potty’s more often. If they’re energetic then lots of walks/runs and playtime in the backyard. If they have abandonment issues they’ll have to sleep in the bedroom or somewhere close where they can see us and know we’re here. If they’re reactive or sensitive to stimuli, whether that’s loud noises or another pet/animal or quick movements then it’s a quiet, calm and safe environment they’ll need to make strides in daily training exercise; every cat or dog is different and has different needs. They might have medication that needs to be administered at certain times of the day or they have mobility issues, it all depends on the needs of your pet and what they need to feel safe and comfortable!

About: I have had a love and passion for all animals since I could walk. I have spent years fostering animals through several rescue organizations and the happiness of my dog and cat is the center of my life. My dog is my best friend and we do almost everything together. I will treat your dog as if he/she were my own. I am currently working part time and making my own schedule which means that I have a lot of flexibility. I can drop in at a moments notice. I have a large, fenced yard and a friendly, playful Labrador. I have the ability to separate or crate animals if needed, but I always keep a close eye on my pets and will do the same for yours.
