Doggy Day Care in Majors

“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.”

“We were visiting the area and wanted to take a day trip to hike at Pinnacles National Park. Nancy and her husband were wonderful and took great care of our mini schnauzer while we spent the day hiking.”

“I could not recommend Yajaira enough! She took great care of my dog, Toby. She sent so many photos and updates, it was amazing. I rested well on my time away knowing Toby was in great hands.”

About: I have been a lifelong dog owner. I can care for a variety of pups from young and energetic to senior pups. I love to take my own dogs on my adventures throughout the Santa Cruz mountains from casual walks to long adventure runs and so I can accommodate whatever your dog needs. I also like to spend time training and practicing commands because dogs also like to be engaged mentally along with the physical. Of course love and affection through cuddles is always guaranteed and unlimited. I have lots of experienced with many different dog personalities and can accommodate them accordingly to make sure they are well cared for. I have a very flexible schedule that is mostly already based around my own pups so I am very much able to accommodate yours as well! I have availability to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets throughout the day and evening. I already incorporate activities like dog walking and trail running into my daily routine which means I can offer active dogs a great adventure while also being available for quiet cuddle and consistent care for all pets. In my home, I treat every guest like family. My home is a safe, dog-friendly environment with a fenced yard where they can play safely. We'll follow their regular feeding schedule and I'll make sure they get plenty of exercise with daily walks, running for high-energy dogs, and lots of mental stimulation. In the evenings, it's all about cuddles and relaxation on the couch, ensuring they feel comfortable and loved. When caring for pets in a client's home, my top priority is to maintain their familiar routine. I'll adhere strictly to their feeding schedule, walking routine, and any specific commands they know. My goal is to be a calm and reliable presence, providing consistent care and affection in their own environment. I'll also ensure your home is kept clean and secure, leaving it just as I found it.

“I am over the moon about Daisy's full-day stay with Shannon and her family! I knew that Daisy had a great day because she fell fast asleep on the way home, and while she was happy to see me at pick-up, I could also tell she really liked her hosts. She went back and forth greeting me and going back to Shannon or her husband to get her head scratched; there was big tail wagging going on there! Shannon is certainly knowledgeable and experienced in caring for dogs, responsible, kept my pup safe, and supported Daisy's quirks and needs. She and her family followed my requests and instructions perfectly. Shannon sent pictures, which my husband and I so appreciated, and was responsive and clear in all her communications. She was flexible when I requested a time change for drop off and was fine when I wanted to come a bit earlier than scheduled for pick up. Daisy will be very excited, and I will be very happy & confident leaving her again with Shannon ~ I highly recommend her to care for your pet! You get her and her wonderful family!”

“Amber and her adorable son took amazing care of 6lb senior Sophie! Great communication before and during the stay. I wasn't sure how Sophie would adjust but Amber has the magic touch and all went incredibly well. I'd definitely book with Amber again!”

Denise E.

“Sommer was amazing! It was a last minute booking and she was comfortable meeting us and helping us make our dog more comfortable with her. She even took her to the dog park and took tons of pics. Would highly highly recommend her! Thank you again :)”

“Mariah took such good care of my pup! She had great communication and sent so many cute pictures throughout the day. Wrangler came home happy and tired in the best way I would definitely trust her watching him again (:”

About: Hi there! I have plenty of experience working with all sorts of animals, I volunteered at the SF zoo handling various small mammals, reptiles, birds, etc. I have babysitting experience under my belt as well and I know that your pet is your baby, so rest assured you are in good hands. My best friend and housemate is also a vet tech, if it eases your mind at all. I'm currently working part time as a waitress at a restaurant 4 times a week. My current schedule is Tuesdays 11-6pm, then Fridays-Sundays I work the closing shift 4-11pm. I am free all day Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays but am able to work before/after some times on the days that I work my main job! I have done husbandry care for tiny little coral, feeding them like clockwork and making sure they have all that they need, so if your animal has any dietary restrictions or allergies I am more than capable of handling all of their needs so long as instructions are provided.

“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.”

“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!”

Jacqueline K.

“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!!”

“Inga had a lovely time spending the day with Stacey and Avihay and their two doggies. She had a walk and came home calm and happy. She will return to visit them again soon.”

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.

“Great! Very communicative and my puppy seemed happy with him.”

“My pup Charlie was having some real separation anxiety issues while we were gone at work leading to alot of stress and anxiety on our parts. He just had his first week staying with Wayne, Alexandra, and their sweet pup Chance and we couldn't be happier! I could go on and on about what a positive experience this has been especially as first time puppy parents. Wayne is always quick to respond and answered all my question, helping to ease my nervousness. They have both been so sweet with Charlie, who can be nervous about new people, but after 2 days he has made himself at home there. I get multiple updates with pics/videos which is so great. I love seeing all the fun and attention he is getting while we cant be there. He loves running around their beautiful property, hanging out on the deck in the shade, playing with Chance who even shares his toys, and getting some snuggles in too. He comes back one tired pup by the end of the day. We couldnt be happier and have already booked our days for next week and an overnight!”

“Faith did a meet and greet which was greatly appreciated. Her pups are super sweet and our doggie had a good time with them during the day. Thanks!”

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!
