Doggy Day Care in Lakewood

“We had a change of plans and urgently needed a day care last minute. Maritza was so accommodating and I’m glad we found her as she went above and beyond caring for Finn and provided us regular updates throughout the day! Finn had so much fun with his new friends and didn’t want to leave 😭. We will definitely be using Maritza again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and reliable sitter!”

“I can’t recommend Mariah enough! She cared for my dog, Lexi, with such kindness and compassion. Mariah was incredibly accommodating and responsive, always making sure Lexi’s needs were met. Her extra care and attention to detail really put me at ease. Above all, Mariah’s understanding and compassionate nature stood out. She kept me updated throughout, and her excellent communication made the entire experience stress-free. I’m so grateful for the care she provided and would happily trust her with Lexi again!”

“We went on a last minute Thanksgiving event and we were able to book Ximena the Wednesday night. Ximena sent us multiple videos and pictures of peanut playing around in her beautiful yard with her own dog and family. Peanut received lots of cuddles from Ximena and her family as well. We were updated of Peanut’s activity during the entire time Ximena had him. We would definitely book with Ximena again and highly recommend her to watch your fur baby.”

About: Hi! I’m a devoted pet parent and passionate animal lover who treats every pet like family. For the past 4+ years, I’ve shared my life with my own fur baby, and she’s truly become my best friend. Spending my days caring, playing, and bonding with her has taught me how to build trust, show love, and pay attention to the little things that matter most to animals. What sets me apart is the level of care I bring by being thoughtful, detail-oriented, and heartwarming. I’ve learned to read pets' emotions, recognize when something isn’t quite right, and respond quickly. After navigating health issues with my own pup, I know how to stay calm, be prepared, and act fast when needed, always putting their safety and comfort first. I'm also very mindful of my surroundings during walks or social encounters. I’ve developed a strong sense of how to read the body language of unfamiliar dogs and can quickly spot when another dog may be feeling anxious or reactive. This helps me avoid risky situations and ensures that the dogs in my care are always safe and well-protected. Whether your pet needs a cuddle buddy, a playful companion, or someone to keep a watchful, loving eye while you’re away, I’m here to give them the same love and care I give my own. I'm currently available full time to care for your pets! I recently moved to the U.S. with my husband and our fur baby due to his job. I am going to school to learn english as english is my second language so I hope that Rover also gives me the oportunity to meet many animal lover parents and helps me get more involved with the community. On the side I love working out and when I am not with my family or at school I am typically running and excercising, as that is a big part of my life. I’m here to provide the specific care your pet needs whether it’s a visit, a walk, respecting their space, offering a safe crate or area to relax, or keeping track of feeding times. I pay close attention to every detail to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable. I know how important peace of mind is when you’re away from your furry family member, so I’m happy to send as many photos and videos as you’d like. I truly love making pet parents feel calm and confident that their baby is in great hands.

“Jacklyn is fabulous! Caring and super adaptable. Minina had a blast today with her new friends! We are definitely returning for a play date! Thanks 🙏🏼 for caring so well for my baby girl!”

“I'm so grateful Davy responded to my last minute request. It was my first time using Rover, and a service like this on general, so I was very skeptical of using it. I was also worry about my puppy (Peanut) socializing with Davy's dogs since I hadn't socialized him. Davy sent me updates with pictures and videos which made me so happy and at ease. He is professional, caring pet sitter, trustworthy, and reliable. I highly recommend him. Davy thank you! And thank you for all the puppy tips ❤️”

“Michelle was so amazing, she’s incredibly kind, and you can tell through your interactions with her that she just loves taking care of animals, and has a huge passion for pups. She took my dog in on such a short minute notice, and also accommodated incredibly well when we ran a little bit off schedule, she provided so many updates throughout the day, and he came back, very relaxed, very calm, and through the pictures and updates that were given, looks like he had an amazing time.”

About: Committed to making your fur baby feel safe, loved, and well-cared for. I recently became a foster dog momma last year in May. I’m currently partnered with Labelle Foundation out of LA and Animals Rule Rescue out of San Pedro. I have truly fallen in love with the experience - since May of 2024 I have fostered 13 dogs! All of which have found their furever homes. They’ve all ranged in age, size and breed. I’ve worked with and trained puppies as young as 6 weeks old along with dogs 1-5 years old. I’ve met some really special people and pups on this fostering journey and would love to continue doing so! I run my own business and primarily work from home so my schedule is very flexible. I am available for same day bookings for drop-in visits and walks. I prefer to have at least 1 day notice for boarding your pet but can make exceptions when I am able. Here to help you in any way that I can! Please don’t hesitate to reach out for meet and greets prior to booking a boarding service with me. Your pets care and well-being is my top priority. Upon booking, I’d like to know all that there is to know about your pet - their diet, their schedule, their sleeping arrangements, etc.. The more I know, the better I can care for your fur baby! If you are boarding your pet - I live in a great, pet friendly neighborhood. They will have a safe space and a secured home/backyard to play and run around in.

“We absolutely loved Angie! As a first time fur mommy I had never experienced leaving my puppy anywhere. She’s used to be only with my daughter and I and honestly I think she didn’t miss us! Angie’s family took her in with much love. She constantly sent videos and pictures that made me smile and feel comfortable knowing Latte was well taken care of. Wish Angie much success in what she does because she’s great. I had her with daycare and became overnight which happened out of a family emergency and Angie was extremely accommodating. Can’t wait to book again her!”

“Brittanie was very responsive with all of my messages and sent photos of my pup throughout the day. I appreciate having flexibility with pickup and drop off times. Would definitely recommend!”

About: Hi Everyone! Thanks so much for taking the time to view my profile. There are 2 experiences that truly shaped me as a pet parent, and eventually human parent: raising a 2 week-old newborn kitten, and supporting my 18 year-old dog bestie’s transition to the rainbow bridge. Through respectful pet care, I get to hone certain skills like responsibility, empathy, and consent. I work remotely and homeschool my 8yo daughter, who is also an animal lover and budding naturalist. So rest assured that your fur baby will receive lots of cuddles, play, and connection throughout the day! We are offering care for 1-2 pets at a time only, in our 4bd3ba home in North Long Beach/Lakewood area. We have fenced, large yards both in front and back of our house with grass, gardens, and a playground. We are also located in a residential neighborhood away from major streets/traffic. Here are some trainings I've attended on the (human) psycho-education side. I’m also a fan of positive reinforcement (R+) and natural rearing (NR) for animals. Thanks for reading 🌸 * Natural Lifemanship (Learning Institute for Equine-Assisted Services, including Equine-Assisted Psychotherapy) * Mother Hunger (Psychotherapist/ Researcher, Kelly McDaniel) * Parent Effectiveness Training, Teacher Effectiveness Training, & Leader Effectiveness Training (created by 3x Nobel Prize Nominee, Thomas Gordon) Note: Although I allow my daughter to participate in some age-appropriate tasks like feeding, playing, etc., please know your fur baby will never be left unattended. I will be considered the sole care provider responsible for your pet during your their stay with us. :) Because I work remotely and my daughter is a homeschooler, we are able to have slower mornings and more time to decompress throughout the day. If we are caring for a dog, morning and late afternoon walks are usually best for us. If we are caring for a cat, then we understand they are probably eager to eat earlier in the mornings. Throughout the day, playing with pets is a wonderful break from what we're working on. And there's nothing like the cuddles while working on the laptop, reading, or watching our favorite shows or movies. At this time I am only offering care in my home vs. visits or housesitting. I have fenced yards both in the front and in the back of the house, with grass, a playground, and gardens. Facetime calls, pictures, and videos are all welcome to give check in's for your pet.

About: I’m a reliable, active sitter with experience caring for energetic dogs, senior pets, and cats. I follow routines, administer meds, and give personalized attention consistently. Pet care is a regular priority in my schedule, with dedicated time for walks, play, feeding, and monitoring health to ensure pets thrive every day. I carefully follow each pet’s routine, providing feeding, exercise, play, and medication as needed, while ensuring safety, comfort, cleanliness, and personalized attention in any environment, home or away.

About: I would be a great sitter because I’m responsible, attentive, and deeply committed to providing compassionate care. I’ve had four dogs for over 11 years, including one elderly dog who lived to 18, which speaks to my dedication and experience. They enjoy two walks a day and have a spacious backyard to play in, reflecting the active and nurturing environment I maintain. I’m calm under pressure, communicate clearly, and create safe, comfortable spaces. I love animals and have raised two rescue dogs and feel comfortable with all dogs, big and small. Pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily routine. I work remotely and am home all day with my three dogs, which allows me to be consistently present and attentive. My meetings are typically short, under an hour, and I average about three per day, leaving plenty of time to care for my pets and any others I’m sitting. When I’m not in meetings, I’m working on projects from home, so I’m always nearby to provide attention, walks, and playtime in my spacious backyard. I have fenced in backyard and typically leave my dogs in the house with me while I am in meetings. I have several dog lounge spaces in the house that they can lay on. I walk them in the morning and the late afternoon, depending on the heat.
