Doggy Day Care North Arroyo

About: I've shared my home with two to four dogs since coming to LA 15 years ago. Because I work from home, your pup gets a calm, dog-savvy human nearby all day — frequent yard breaks, play, and belly rubs instead of hours alone. I'm comfortable with puppies, seniors, medications, and high-energy dogs. I feel time together and attention is what bonds both humans and dogs, and seeing them go from anxious and confused to a happy member of "the pack" is one of the more rewarding parts of taking care of them, so I prefer stays long or frequent enough for your pup to feel at home with me and in my home, but I'm also always willing to cover a tight spot or step in for a day of daycare. I work from home on a flexible schedule, so your dog has company and supervision for the entire day — regular walks, play, and potty breaks, not long stretches alone. I offer boarding and daycare and take only up to three dogs at a time, and mostly for medium to long term boarding, so it's a calm environment without a ton of new dogs coming and going. I'm glad to keep your dog's normal routine for meals, walks, naps, and bedtime. I always mark as unavailable any days I have travel or major time commitments that will keep me away from home for more than an hour or two, so they will have constant care while they're here. Your dog will have free range of my 3 bedroom home, detached studio, and very large, securely fenced backyard full of fruit trees. I don't have pets of my own right now, so your pup gets the whole space and my full attention. I'm happy to crate or set up a quiet separate area if that's what your dog is used to, and I keep things calm and low-stress. My space is easily partitioned to allow dogs to eat, nap, or hang out alone in peace if that's what they prefer. I have a doggy door for dogs who like to let themselves in/out at their leisure. (it's about 50/50 whether they figure it out and make use of it lol) I converted our detached 2 car garage into a recording studio, where I work, so we have the quietest place in town in the event we have to make it through fireworks or if your pet prefers quiet or isolation. Both the house and studio have their own separate HVAC systems, so they'll definitely stay comfortable. I don't generally use kennels or crates, but if your dog prefers or is used to using one, by all means bring it along. I have always slept with my own dogs, so happy to co-sleep with yours if that's what they're used to, but also glad to maintain whatever rules you generally set for them in regard to being on beds/furniture. I have found even "reactive" and "solitary" dogs very quickly acclimate to a more social environment (it usually only takes 3-4 hours) and I never leave them together unsupervised until they're demonstrating clear friendliness to each other. Many dog parents bring their pups over just for this kind of socialization, and it's great to watch a dog that "hates all other dogs" running and playing in the yard with the group after snarling at everyone just a few hours before.

“Michael to the rescue!! Even with short notice, he was able to come through in sitting my girl for the day. Kind, respectful & communicated well through the whole exchange. Would book again!”

“Kyle and Jennifer were so generous with their time, accommodating a meet-and-greet / trial for my nervous pup. He was skittish when I dropped him off, but was best friends with Kyle by the time I picked him up. I was happy he got to enjoy (supervised) time in their backyard, since we don’t have one at home. Great communication throughout. Five stars; Rio looks forward to his next visit!”

“Thank you so much Albina!! It was very last minute and bullet had a good time. You were very communicative and the drop off and pick up was very quick. If I was in your area, she would be regular there.”

About: I’ve always had pets at home, so caring for animals is a natural part of my life. I’m attentive, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I treat every pet with the same care and love I give my own. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule. This allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily and weekly routine and give pets the time and attention they need. I make sure pets feel safe, calm, and comfortable by following their routine, keeping a clean space, and giving them gentle, attentive care with love and respect.

About: 3 years as kennel assistant, 10+ personal. Experienced with dogs, guinea pigs, cats, seniors, meds, and grooming. Calm, gentle, and reliable will make your fur baby so comfy they won't notice you were gone for long— I treat your pets like if they where my loved one! I have flexible availability for drop-ins, house sitting for long periods. Most of my time is spent caring for your fur baby making sure they are comfy in your absence. Pet care isn’t just a side job—it’s my calling. Your pets will get patient, loving attention every time I prioritize calm, safe environments for every pet I care for. In client homes, I follow all routines, feeding, and medication instructions with care and precision. I’m experienced with shy pets, seniors, and animals needing extra patience. You’ll receive regular photo updates and detailed check-ins. My goal is to make sure your pets feel secure, happy, and loved while you’re away.

“Tatiana is a life saver! Always quick to respond and super helpful with our pup. Love all the photos and videos. It’s a comfort knowing our pup is in good hands.”

About: Hello, my name is Charlie! I have been a dog owner for 13+ years and recently said goodbye to my best friend. I have missed having a dog around and started pet sitting for friends and family and absolutely loved it. I have a house in Glendale with a fenced in backyard in a very safe neighborhood. So whether it's a day time visit or a fortnight stay, I have exactly what you need. My top priority is SAFETY and I will watch your dog like a hawk while they are with me. I know the hardest part of travel is leaving your pet with a stranger so I strive to make both pets and owners feel comfortable. I am a part time actor and have a very open schedule so your pet will never be alone for long periods of time. I love to cuddle on the couch, take walks around the neighborhood or play in the yard. Please let me know if you have any questions for concerns, thanks! I am a part time actor so I have a lot of free time waiting around for auditions haha! I typically spend some time at the gym but otherwise I am home all day and available for your pets! I have a fenced-in backyard in a very safe, walkable, neighborhood. My top priority is safety and I promise to keep a close eye on your dog especially when outdoors. I have no other pets in the home so they will get all my focus and attention and I do not invite others over while your pets are here, so there will absolutely be no strangers around them. Happy to accommodate any special requests (medications, vet visits, feeding requirements, necessary lullabies lol)

“Frances was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!! I was a little worried leaving my fur baby since it’s his first time with a sitter, and he was a lil anxious when we dropped him off but had a great time with Frances. She sent me pictures and updates throughout the day, and the picture qualities were also amazing! My puppy looked so happy and comfortable! He came home pooped and I’m so happy he got along with Frances and her boys! I will definitely use Frances again next time I need a sitter!”

“Great daycare. Helen and Ahmet took wonderful care of my 10 mo old golden doodle puppy. They went out of their way to feed her on her new schedule (she’s had a low appetite lately due to a food change), took her for walks and to the dog park. Helen asked many great questions at the meet and great to ensure she could provide a terrific day. My puppy bonded w them over the course of the day, which was clear when I went to pick her up.”

“Stephanie was great with me and Mia. She made me feel comfortable and at ease with leaving Mia in her care. We talked about Mia’s care in detail and I can tell she cares about Mia’s well being. I feel Mia is in great hands in her care and I greatly appreciate her help with supporting Mia’s training. I plan to use Stephanie again in the future for day care.”

“Lijuan is the best.”

“Charlie has been staying with Sevan on a consistent basis for daycare for over a month and I can already see the improvements in his behavior. Sevan has been working with him to correct some behavioral issues. I can tell how passionate Sevan is about what he does and Charlie much prefers Sevan’s care to a daycare facility. So it’s a win-win!”

About: I've been caring for pets for over 20 years, and it's something I truly love. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets with the same attention and compassion I'd give my own. I offer personalized care, a limited number of clients, consistent updates with photos and videos, a clean safe environment, reliability, punctuality, flexible scheduling, medication administration, and have extensive experience caring for senior pets and those who are anxious or have special needs. My goal is to help every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I adore animals of all kinds and would be honored to care for your furry family member! I work from home with a flexible schedule, which makes it easy to care for your pets when you need me. I am always on time and communicate often. I will follow your instructions on how to care for your baby in your home. I can even send photos and keep you updated throughout the day. (I should mention that I am also a professional pet photographer!)

“Winston had a great time with Victoria, Herb & Bella. Lovely gated yard & home to play in. Winston definitely has a new girlfriend - thanks for the great care! Looking forward to booking again soon!”

About: I grew up with 5 big dogs, two German Shepards and three Dobermans. I love dogs. I actually love all animals. I just think they deserve all the best love and care we can give them. So that's the goal. Through out my life I have rescued, fostered and adopted many dogs and even had a wolf. Now, I only have one little hopeless romantic of a dog (small and very friendly, kind and respectful), and that there's plenty of room in the house and the backyard. I would like extend an invitation to any lucky dog or dogs that want love, good food and top notch attention and care I'm your guy. I'm home all day, most of the week. My schedule prioritizes the dogs. I don't like to leave animals unattended. That's about it. I have a spacious backyard that's safe and perfect for frolicking, playing or bathroom brakes. They have access to the house and the yard, I don't believe in keeping dogs off the furniture. So they'll pretty much do as much as you'll let me let them. I don't mind messes, but I like to keep it very clean. Water and food is always available, and if they make any request I'm keen on appeasing them.

About: Hello neighbors! I'm a dog lover who's had the pleasure of living with three different furry friends through my adulthood. I've also doggy-sat different pups for friends over the years. I am a lover of fitness and the outdoors, and I'd love to take care of your pup when you're not able to - by dropping in for visits or taking them for a nice walk in the neighborhood. I am affectionate but can also be stern and follow more rigid obedience protocols, and I am confident I can handle big dogs as well. I create my own schedule and have lots of flexibility to accommodate your pets' care amongst my daily obligations. I live in Pasadena and can get around easily via my own transportation. Safety matters, and I have a keen eye for things which may put your dog at harm. At home, I have two medium-sized dogs myself - one who loves to eat everything and anything, so being mindful of food that's laying around is absolutely key.

“Athene is super attentive and caring. This was Hazel's first time away from home and Athene did a fantastic job updating me with photos and messages of her over the two days. I loved that Athene secured a kiddie pool for Hazel to play in during her stay -- she loves water! When I came to pick up Hazel she was her normal bouncy puppy self.”

I’ve taken care of puppies, teens, adults, and seniors! I’ve also grown up with 10 cats and litter trained, played, and cuddled with all ages! I am unemployed so I have all the time in the world to check up on your loved ones 24/7. I will constantly be taking them out on walks, playing with them, feeding and taking them out for potty time! I have a fenced yard, and a special kennel in the backyard. Our yard is long and great for playing catch. I also have a senior golden retriever who would love to keep your fur baby company!
