Doggy Day Care in McNears Beach

“Tatiana and her family were above and beyond my expectations with my precious dog Calvin! She’s so loving with animals and that alone tells me a lot about her personality! Calvin had a blast with her, her husband and her cute boy! Calvin was spoiled the whole day with them! She was the best sitter I’ve never found in Rover! You can trust her 100% with your dog! On top of all that, she lives in a very nice area, easy to park and not in a crazy busy street which always gets me worried about a Sitter’s location! Tatiana greeted Calvin so happy and brought him back to me on her arms! No other Sitter had ever done that and my dog is a very cute little pie! 🥰 Thank you, Tatiana, husband and son! ❤️❤️❤️”

“Laura and Joseph T did a wonderful job of watching our lab Angela. They sent check-in pictures which we enjoyed seeing. They moved her inside when she was getting hot outside. They have a nice backyard which a shade area as well so our dog had a comfortable stay. She had their dog to play with which was a plus. They are very pleasant and aim to please. I would definitely use them again.”

“Sabrina watched our baby for daycare for 3 days. Our pup quickly seemed to warm up to her. She kept us updated during the day and graciously brought her to us at the end of the day. Sabrina seemed super friendly and she treated our pup with a lot of care, even in the face of our dog’s first heat cycle. We appreciate her and the care she provided.”

About: I have owned and cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments for 30 years. I have special training with service animals and retired (senior) service animals. I am a full-time dog care provider, so your pup will have my undivided attention! I will adhere to any feeding, walking, etc. schedule you prefer. My backyard is every dog’s happy place! Lots of grass, toys, water, and a fully secure, fenced yard with plenty of shaded areas to stay cool from the heat.

About: Hi! I’m a mom, and lifelong animal lover based in San Rafael. With over 20 years of experience caring for pets—including sitting for all of our friends dogs and cats—I bring both heart and hands-on knowledge to every dog I care for. I work from home and offer dog walking, pet sitting, and boarding 7 days a week. I love being outdoors and make time daily for walks, hikes, and playtime in nearby parks, trails, and beaches. I have twins in high school who were raised around animals and love spending time helping to walk, play, and socialize with our furry guests. Whether it’s a high-energy puppy, a senior dog needing special care, or a shy pup who needs patience and love, I adjust my schedule to meet each dog’s individual needs. I've cared for puppies and seniors needing medication, and everything in between. I'm located right near beautiful walking trails, and beaches, and dog-friendly parks—perfect for pups who enjoy both exercise and social time. When your pet stays with me, they’re part of the family. Safety, affection, and joy come first in our home—and yours. Let’s chat about how I can help care for your four-legged friend! I work from home and have plenty of flexibility to pay attention to your pet. I have twin teenagers who both love animals. Your pets won't be short on play mates or love here! I am right by a great park and trails for fun walks. I don't have a crate for sleeping, but I have comfortable dog beds. I cook for our pet milo, so if you need home cooking Ican accommodate that. Milo is almost 17 years old! He is part Corgi and Part Belgian Shepard. He loves other pets that visit us.

About: We only take 1 dog to be cared for at a time with our small family & havapoo Ollie. I work from home during the week so there is lots of time for cuddles and walking. My teen is eager to help! I work from home full-time, so provide cuddles, attention and lots of walks. In the evenings our family of 3 + havapoo Ollie will care for your fur baby just like ours We can follow whatever protocols you would like for your pup. We have a fenced in deck and provide plenty of walking and exercise at the open field down the hill if your pup is up for it.

“Nadya was so kind and took great care of our puppy, sending photos and videos throughout his stay. We’ll definitely be reaching out again next time we’re in town and need someone to take care of Appa for the day! Thank you, Nadya!”

About: I have been an avid pet lover since I was just a kid! I have owned and cared for cats and dogs for the last 25+ years, among many other animals. As a teenager I would often pet sit for families in my neighborhood and helped out older neighbors with dog walks and other basic pet care. I really enjoy working with dogs (AND CATS!) on basic obedience training, house manners, crate training, leash manners, and much more. I am currently home full time which means that I will be able to focus on your pet's needs. My small dogs and I take regular walks in our neighborhood and have a well established schedule for meal times with lots of time to play with toys and cuddles. We very much enjoy heading to pet-friendly stores for a little bit of adventure, but we also enjoy the occasional day long outing to the beach or for a good, long hike. Our home is a smaller two-level three bedroom home with fenced front and backyards. I do have two small dogs, both under 15 pounds, and a few cats. Both dogs get along well with other dogs and most of the cats just stay upstairs or use their cat trees to avoid the dogs, though a couple of the cats do enjoy a game of rough house with the dogs. I have crates available for dogs that are crate trained, tons of toys for engaging play, some puzzle boards and snuffle mats for enrichment. If I am caring for your pet in your own home I will adhere to any rules or structure you have in place or that we discuss beforehand. If you'd like me to bring along any toys, treats, training materials, or other items for walks or pet-sitting I am happy to help with that. I drive an SUV with room for travel crates and/or doggy car seats, perfect for those weekend walks at all of the regional parks near by.

About: ****Please note new changes *** I recently adopted and rescued a sweet 1 yr old Havanese mix dog. He's very friendly and very chill with animals including cats. For dog sits, I would request that he come with me (although he might not and he might stay home with his mom). I have an extensive history with animals. Lastly, a new update, I will not accept dogs who are aggressive with other dogs moving forward. I have owned three dogs, two cats, and two ferrets in the past. I have always been a dog lover ever since I was a young boy. I currently adopted a new dog and he is a sweet angel and very well-behaved. You will get constant updates on how your dog is doing on a daily basis. I will take them on fun adventures to hiking trails, beaches, or parks. I am a firm believer that dogs are really man's best friends and will treat your furry friend as if he/she was my own, with lots of love. Look forward to meeting with you and your dog. Yes, I currently walk my dog at least 3 times a day, including a hike where we can meet other dogs. I do this full-time as we have officially entered a recession in the tech world. If I am in the home/boarding, I will ensure your dog is fed and adheres to their normal routines. Nothing changes when I care for them, except we might be hiking a lot depending on their age and if they can handle that; if not, we chill locally and take small local walks or let them outside for relief.

“Yasmin was nothing short of amazing!!! We were visiting family in the area and needed to find a reliable day care for our 2 big and high energy dogs (92lb goldendoodle & 9 month old german shephard/mix) and Yasmin's place was perfect! She sent us frequent updates and photos/videos, took them on walks, played with them all day and even bought them some toys! We will definitely be booking with her again next time we're in the area! Thank you Yasmin!”

“Ariane was amazing with my dog, Porkchop! She was super friendly, kept me updated, and made sure he got lots of love and attention. I felt so comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend Ariane!”

“I've had one dog daycare with Yvette and was thrilled with how it went. Yvette and John both took such great care of my dog. He had been so nervous, but they went above and beyond to put him at ease. And it worked! He had so much fun with them, he didn't even want to leave at the end of the day. They made it so easy for me coming home after a long day since they tired him out! I'll definitely bring my dog here again.”

“Bianca was great with our dog Fremont! He can be very timid and scared around new people but he warmed up to her and had a great time spending the day with her!”

“Kevin was amazing! Not only did he save me in a pinch…but he took great care of Dezi and even sent me pictures and videos! Dezi can’t wait to go back and play with Milo again!”

“Ashley was amazing! I broke my foot and needed some help with Lily. Ashley offered to pick her up and drop her off! Lily had a great day hanging out with Ashley and her pup, playing at the dog park, and walking around the neighborhood! Thanks so much!!”

I can walk or use a fenced in yard depending on your home.

“Our 4 month old puppy had a great time doing a day sit with Ellen! She is usually shy but took to Ellen immediately, and Ellen was helpful and communicative throughout the whole process.”

About: We know what it means to truly love a dog as family. We've cared for several dogs throughout our lives, including our beloved Maddie, who we supported through her senior years and heart failure - even taking her on daily walks in a dog stroller when she could no longer walk long distances. Currently, we spoil our special needs French Bulldog who is deaf, so we're very experienced with dogs who need extra attention and care. We treat every dog like our own, which means furniture and bed privileges (if you're okay with it!), multiple daily walks, hanging in our fenced backyard, medication administration, and plenty of one-on-one attention. Since we both work from home and have no kids, your dog gets constant human supervision - we know how much you worry when you're away, so we send lots of updates and photos to give you peace of mind. We only take one pet parent at a time (though you can have multiple dogs), so your pup gets our undivided attention and we can ensure a safe stay. Since my wife and I both work from home, dogs are never alone - there's almost always one of us around to keep them company. Our flexible schedule means we can easily handle walks, meals, rest, and playtime without gaps in supervision. It's perfect for dogs who need consistent attention and care throughout the day. We keep a clean, dog-friendly home with a secure fenced yard for safe play and potty breaks. Before any visit, we'll go over your dog's specific needs, routines, and any health considerations. I follow feeding instructions exactly and keep notes on how your pup is doing. We know how important pictures are when you're away and send them multiple times a day (or more) if requested.
