Doggy Day Care Montara

“This was our second time booking with Marie Elenore, and we highly recommend her! She was available on very short notice, incredibly responsive, and flexible with later drop-off times. She sent us videos and updates throughout Archie’s stay, and we especially appreciated how attentive she was in noticing something with him that we needed to address when we got home. We felt like Archie was in very caring, capable hands and would absolutely book with her again.”

“Vicky seemed to take good love and care of my doggy Pippin🐶🛻. She was also responsive and checked in with me when needed. I hope to be able to book Vicky again.”

“It was my first time using Howard & Linda for day care, and it was an excellent experience. Howard and their dog Truman met us for the meet and greet before the scheduled stay, and the dogs got along, as Truman is very easy going. My dog is not friendly with large dogs and requires a special diet, as well as, a regular feeding and walking schedule. Howard accommodated all of my dog’s needs during his stays. Howard & Linda are very friendly and personable people, and I highly recommend them!”

“I cannot say enough good things about Steve and Erika, and the loving care they provide to my dogs. Several years ago, I had a senior dog (Luna) with mobility issues and medical needs. Especially towards the end of her life, she was delicate and it was difficult to find people willing to board her. Erika was amazing with Luna. She made her a little senior dog apartment area in her living room, where she could be near the family and other dogs, but was protected from the rambunctiousness of younger dogs. She hand fed her food and cooked special meals for her. She gave her all her medications without difficulty and would sit with her and encourage her to eat and drink. Erika and Steve let her out in the middle of the night when her old lady dog bladder needed to go. I didn't travel much in the last year of Luna's life because I didn't want to be away from her, but when I did, I always knew Erika would take amazing care of her and love on her like one of her own dogs. I still watch and cherish the videos she sent me of Luna during her overnight stays. When we got Freya, our pandemic family addition, it was no question of reaching out to Erika again. Freya was a rescue dog, so had some socialization issues in the beginning when we first got her. Taking her to Erika's to board during the day when we are both at work has been transformative. Freya is now a happy, social dog, especially with other dogs. We jokingly refer to Erika as Freya's Nana (Steve is obviously Pop). Every time we go to drop her off, she can't wait to go inside and play with her dog friends. We trust Erika and Steve 100% with our dogs. I recommend them at the highest level, without reservation.”

“Rudy had a wonderful day with Thiago. He came back well card for, exercised, and happy. Thiago was great about sending photos and videos. Highly recommend Thiago as a dog sitter!”

Amy D.

“Cynthia and her family were the best. Very accommodating and easy to communicate with. She sent us multiple pictures and videos throughout the day which made me feel at ease. I was so happy to see that Amaru had fun and enjoyed his stay. Will definitely book with Cynthia again and am so happy to find a new dog sitter for Amaru close to home. Thank you so much for everything!!”

“Winnie and Boba are THE BEST!!! 🏆 Winnie accommodated a last-minute request over Thanksgiving weekend so my husband and I could take a day trip. She even offered a meet-and-greet video call beforehand, which really put my mind at ease since it was our second time using Rover for dog sitting. 🙏 Throughout our communications, Winnie was friendly, responsive, and incredibly helpful. My doggo had a blast playing with Boba, and she sent us plenty of photos and videos showing how much fun they were having together. 🦮🐕‍🦺 When we picked him up, my dog was clearly sad to leave - always a good sign! 🥹🥲😭🫶 We're already looking forward to our next booking. Highly recommend Winnie and Boba, especially if you have a smaller breed that likes to run and play. ✨”

“Selena did great with Bella. She kept us updated and sent pics throughout the stay. She took her on several walks and let her play with other pups. Bella came back happy!”

About: Hi, I’m Lisa! For over 21 years, dogs have been at the very heart of my life. From energetic puppies needing guidance to rescue fosters learning to trust, and gentle seniors who require a lighter touch and extra patience, I have extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. My ultimate goal is simple: to make your dog feel just as safe, relaxed, and loved in my home as they do in yours. What You & Your Dog Can Expect - A Welcoming & Social Environment: I have two very sweet, well-mannered dogs who are gentle and love meeting new friends. They get along effortlessly with every dog they meet and help guest pups settle in quickly and feel right at home. - Tailored Routines & Comfort: Every dog has a unique routine. Whether your pup requires oral medication, specific feeding schedules, special sleeping arrangements, or just extra couch cuddles, I adapt completely to their comfort zone. - Fun Outings & Playtime: If your dog loves staying active, we’ll take daily neighborhood walks and fun trips to the local dog park to run and play. Prefer a low-key day relaxing indoors? I can cater to every energy level! - Peace of Mind & Daily Updates: I know how hard it can be to leave your furry family member behind. I send regular photo and video updates throughout their stay so you always know how happy and relaxed they are. - Safety First: With two decades of owner and sitting experience, I am adept at reading dog body language, managing play safely, and keeping a secure, calm environment at all times. Specialized Experience - Puppies: Potty break schedules, basic command reinforcement, and gentle socialization. - Senior Dogs: Mobility support, medication administration, and relaxed, low-impact routines. - Rescue & Foster Dogs: Calming techniques for anxious pups, patience, and positive reinforcement. I always welcome a pre-booking Meet & Greet so our dogs can get acquainted and we can discuss your pup’s exact needs. I look forward to welcoming your dog into our family! Being retired allows me to dedicate my full attention to dog care and comfortably accommodate all kinds of schedules. I am at home the vast majority of the day. On the rare occasion I need to step out for a quick errand, I usually bring the dogs along with me for company, keeping them safe, supervised, and comfortable at all times. Your dog will be welcomed as a true member of our family with full access to our main floor living area and secure backyard. We have a convenient doggy door for pups who know how to use it, but I am always happy to take dogs out personally for regular potty breaks if they aren't familiar with one. To keep everyone happy and active, we go for plenty of walks around the neighborhood and visits to the local park.

“Stephanie was great with our pups. She provided detailed updates accompanied with images, so we felt at ease. Our anxious pups warmed up to her super quick.”

Victoria P.

“Thank you Shirley for a great first daycare experience for both us and our pup. From keeping us informed at all times (with pics) to giving our puppy a wonderful environment within which to play and rest, everything was top notch. Shirley even went a step beyond and gave us good advice about our pup’s ear care. Thank you!”

About: I am a physically active recent retiree and capable dog lover who recently lost my beloved Wheaten Terrier after 11 great years with him, so I'm well able to care for your very active or senior dog that might have special dietary or physical needs. I'm recently retired and home every day, so I have lots of time to care for your pet. Drop-off and pick-up very flexible every day and evening. Although we have a securely fenced and paved back yard, it contains a swimming pool, so we kept our own pet indoors or on our fenced in, covered deck/patio which is also secure. We have a large dog crate which our dog slept in every night, but this is flexible depending on your own dog's sleeping preferences. I do not let pets sleep on my bed. We live on a very quiet street with no 'through' traffic, so it's easy to walk your dog regularly without risking encounters with other pets. Our own dog was not comfortable around other dogs and this was easy for us to manage.

“Kate was an absolutely wonderful sitter! She picked Ginger her up from my house on my moving day, and took such good care of her at her house. Ginger and Lola had a total blast playing together and going on walks! I see lots more play dates in our future. Kate even brushed Gingers hair, so she was extra soft and fluffy when I picked her up ?”

Sara A.

“Anna was amazing! Her communication was very quick and clear. She sent me tons of pictures throughout the day and made me feel very comfortable. Leaving my two-year-old dog with her for the day. She was super flexible and pick up and drop off time and Rilee just put all of my pet sitting anxiety at ease. I will definitely be using her again!”

“Gordon and his family took really good care of my Oliver. It was his first time visiting the family and he was there for four hours and seemed very comfortable when I picked him up. I’m looking forward to the next visit.”

About: I’ve taken care of domestic animals since I was very young. Animals have always been part of my life, and I truly enjoy caring for them, pets are part of our daily routine. My daily routine already includes caring for dogs. I run a small mobile dog grooming business, so I am used to being around pets every day. I’m also used to taking care of animals since I was young, so feeding, walking, playing, and giving attention to pets fits very naturally into my routine. I live in an apartment, but my complex has a dog park and very dog-friendly spaces. Pets will always receive attention, supervision, and a calm environment. I make sure they are safe, comfortable, and follow the routine provided by the owner, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest.

“Thank you for always being so caretaking towards Ziggy. He usually requires a lil extra TLC and I know he's in safe hands with Yvonne.”
