Pet care experience

The VIP experience for your pets!

🔔 Owners, please read entire profile, as it contains very important information about what to expect, guidelines and requirements for your dogs stay! ***Drop off and Pick up windows must be no longer than 30 minutes*** I spent 10 years managing a large property in the Rancho Santa Fe area that had multiple breeds, sizes and ages of dogs. As part of my many managerial duties I oversaw the personal care, vet appointments and individual schedules of all of these beloved family pets. They were all an absolute joy and I’m happy to be able to offer the same level of care to your furry family members as well. ✔️New to Rover? Enjoy $20 off of your first stay!

Doggy Day Care • Apr 23, 2026

Ruda was great with our Vinnie! Drop off and pick up were easy. I appreciate how organized he is with instructions and requests prior to drop off. It made for a much more seamless transition. I got pictures throughout the day and Vinnie was happy when I picked him up. I would recommend Ruda and will definitely be using him in the future! Thank you for taking great care of our boy!

Thanks so much for holiday boarding, it made our trip perfect. Our dog made a friend Rocky on her visit, something like a Christmas miracle. We will be back and I’m sure Siouxsie thanks you as much as we do!

Ruda is loving, thoughtful and a fantastic communicator. We could see that our pet had a vacation of his own when staying with Ruda. He got plenty of exercise and cuddles! Thank you!

Ruda is FANTASTIC!! My pups were very well taken care of and loved. He is incredibly kind and wants to ensure he follows the pup’s schedule with feedings, walks, playtime, etc to make their home-stay as comfortable as possible. I loved receiving updates and videos. I highly recommend Ruda. 🐾

My dog, Cream, stays Ruda's house always whenever we are out of town. Cream loves him and his friend Nicole so I trust dog sitting on him.

Louie always has a blast at Ruda’s. He’s made to feel comfortable as if he was at home. Plenty of photos and videos as well to feel assured your pup is taken care of. Both Louie and I are lucky to have Ruda on Rover!

Schedule

I work from home, so pet care can very easily integrate into my current schedule. I regularly step away from my computer to take breaks, so taking a furry friend out for a walk is an added bonus!

Safety, trust & environment

I will host up to 2 pets a night, I have separate gated areas in my home to ensure food schedules are calm and peaceful while keeping everyone happy as they’re being slowly integrated with one another, everyone is safe and secure at all times. All pets cared for must be potty trained, spayed/neutered, have absolutely no aggression issues towards other animals or people, are not constant barkers or cry and bark due to separation anxiety. ***Aggression issues and separation anxiety of any kind are non-negotiable.*** If your pet has any level of this type of behavior, it’s not the right fit for my home. It’s very important to maintain a calm, peaceful and safe environment for everyone sharing the space. For overnight boarding, pets will sleep downstairs in the main living room area on their own bed/crate, pets will not be permitted to be on furniture or in the upstairs bedroom areas. VERY IMPORTANT: Also, please make sure that all personal care, vet and emergency contact info is up to date on your pets profile as well. Vet and Emergency contact info are required before I will accept a booking.

A typical day

There are several beautiful parks around the Carmel Country Highlands, great spaces to take walks to. My property is extremely dog friendly and has a large, high fenced in grass area perfect for an off leash game of fetch! I also have a secure/locked front patio area perfect for pups to be able to enjoy sunbathing in between walks and potty breaks as well.
