Doggy Day Care in North Columbia

About: I’ve been working with dogs since I was 12, from playful puppies to senior companions, from beloved family pets to high energy sport dogs. My passion for animals runs deep, and I treat every dog with the love and care they deserve. I’m currently on summer break with a super flexible schedule, making me available when you need me most. Whether it’s morning walks, midday playtime, or evening strolls, I’m here to help! I care for pets in their own home where they feel most safe and comfortable. I follow your routine closely, from feeding and walks to playtime and cuddles, to keep your pet happy and stress-free while you’re away. I always treat every home with respect and every pet like family

From training to diet to health to temperament to pack dynamics I am your go to guy. Experience matters…. I am up at the crack of dawn taking care of our own animals so that I can have the whole day and night to take care of yours…ALL HOURS ARE AVAILABLE FOR YOUR PETS I have huge(100 x 30) fenced in dog runs for your animals to play all day when weather permits. I have kennels in a climate controlled garage and shed as well as crates inside the house. I want your dog outside playing but know the weather can get tricky and i am ready to deal with it.

About: I will take care of your pet as if they were my own! I know how difficult it is to trust someone else with your pet. I can assure you that I am responsible and will keep your furry friend safe and comfortable. You can trust that Our schedule is extremely flexible. Me and my brother got you covered 24/7. One of us is always home and available for your pet. Your pet gets the VIP treatment, they will cozy up with us by the fire place, go on long walks and get plenty of play time

About: Dogs are part of the family! I grew up with animals and have always taken our responsibility to pets seriously. I'm trained as a professional pet nutrition advocate and have experience not just feeding all the pets but truly healing thru nutrition with everything from making whole foods and supplements, to designing recipes and diets, including the treats, to training and socializing dogs of all ages and backgrounds. I've built my schedule around pet care including making the foods and minimum 2 walks a day. I'm happy to make time for the pets anytime! Whether I'm staying over with your dogs or they're staying over with me, I strive to keep them happy and healthy in every way with good nutrition, exercise and quality interaction.

About: People often say I have a way with animals. They always seem drawn to me immediately, even when they are wary of others. I feel honored that animals feel this way about me because I feel the same about them! I have cared for many dogs of all sizes as well as owned cats. I have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand that has many disabled dogs as well as fostered cats/kittens here at home. I am an empty nester and would love to care for your four legged family members while you are away. Although I will never replace you, I can provide love and safety until you return (and probably some treats and adventures too!) I'm currently not working and can dedicate my time to pet/house sitting and care. As you can see from my photo gallery, I love all animals and have volunteered at a dog rescue in Thailand, fostered kittens at home, and have seen very cool animals in the wild and at animal rescues/sanctuaries around the world. (I always vet them to make sure they are ethical and doing legit work) I have a large fenced yard and indoor space for cats or dogs. We have plenty of shade and are also willing to take pets with us on outings. I live with my husband and son and they also love and respect animals. As far as caring for pets at someone else's home, I can stay at your house or check in as often as needed. I will play with them, feed them, bathe them, take them places (if requested) and give them love. I know they miss their people and its not the same without you, but I do my best to make them feel safe and comfortable.

About: I have always had a deep, undeniable passion for dogs. I find no greater joy than working professionally with dogs, and even spending my free time hanging out with more furry friends! I spent three years working at an animal shelter, caring for lost dogs and helping them find their forever homes. I now work at a boarding facility, and it is my utmost priority to make sure dogs have a good time away from their people. While I work at a boarding facility, I see the ever present need for more loving care for the community's furry family members while you are away, and I want to open up my home to provide boarding as well. I offer many other services such as dog walking and drop-in visits! Please take a look at the other services I offer to see if I can help you out! I offer direct with established clients. I work from home and have availability to be attentive and present with your pet at all times! I am flexible with pick up and drop off times, and am happy to work with your schedule. Any dogs boarding with me get lots and lots of time outside in my fenced yard. It is small, so I do provide walks up to three times per day, plus other fun, stimulating exercises to keep everyone satisfied! I have a fenced yard with 4 very friendly dogs. I have fostered many dogs, and pet sat for years, and all my dogs are always respectful. I have 3 cats as well who are used to being around dogs and cats. I can crate your dog if needed, but definitely not required! Your dog(s) will be invited to sleep in bed with me and hang out on the couch with me and my whole pack!

“Alex is amazing! She is very responsive, polite and super nice. Our dog loves her and had a great day with Alex yesterday.”

About: I love being with older and disabled animals. I have my experience from working in Animal Shelters for about 2 years, doggie daycares, pet crematories and also petsitting for different companies and myself over 20 yrs. I am a full time traveling pet/housesitter with my 14 yr old pup. I have owned many animals throughout my life and have experience with meds, subQ fluids, end of life, aggressive dogs/cats and finicky pets. I'll treat your babies as if they were mine! I can also share many reviews from other platforms upon request. I am always available to help you out with your fur babies anytime! I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. Everyday, any time I will follow all directions given in writing on how to care best for your sweet baby. I can do walks, playtime, exercise, training, massage and reiki and anything else needed!

“Rhea enjoyed lounging around in the backyard with lovely little fellow and taking naps under the supervision of Deborah and her partner. Thank you for watching her while a conducted my race, i hope you don't mind if we use your services again.”

“Louisa was very accommodating about drop-off and pick-up. She sent photo updates throughout the day and it was clear that our dog, Stella, had a wonderful day playing with resident dog Jin. Lots of space to run and play on their convenient property near Nevada City.”

About: We are lifetime pet parents and understand the need of pet owners to find a safe and caring place for their pet when they are away. We will provide a secure and caring home for your pet when you can’t be home, and we will treat your pet with respect and always be gentle and kind to ease any anxieties they may have while you are away. We live with our 11 year old Jack Russell Terrier Niko. We have a double fenced property, 2 acres in size where dogs can run and play supervised at all times. we are both retired and home all day. We’d love to speak with you about your needs and expectations and hope to provide you with peace of mind while you entrust the care of your fur-baby to us. We welcome small & medium sized dogs who are well behaved and house trained. We would need to do a test sleepover with any dog to be boarded with us to make sure they have no separation anxiety, barking or house training issues. Unfortunately we can not take certain dog breeds due to our homeowners insurance since we do not kennel any of the dogs that stay with us. We are dedicated to providing a calm and caring place for your pet in our home and on our secure property. We are open for business every day of the week. Your pet will have access to our home and can be on our living room furniture if they choose. We will let them into the smaller fenced area directly behind the home anytime they want and we will take them out to the larger 2 acre fenced property and walk or play with them often throughout the day. They will sleep inside at night. We will feed them twice a day at the same time for all dogs with food that you provide and have fresh water available to them at all times.

“Brian and Barbara demonstrated knowledge and care for my dog (a 60-pound collie). I could tell by Jenny's reactions that she enjoyed her stay.”

About: I’ve always had pets and cared/trained from puppies to disabled elders who need medication. I even produce a local dog parade annually. Must love dogs! I have a flexible schedule making it easy to accommodate others. I have reliable transportation for getting to homes and am in excellent health so no excuse…. I live on 24 acres, some fenced. My cats are indoor/outdoor and are trained to come in at night. They are literbox trained. My dogs stay in the house when we leave and get regular vet care. At your home: caution opening doors, assure leashes attached properly, and yard secure, administer meds according to vet orders. Feed per owner directions (you have them sing for dinner, I will too), refresh water, photograph/video each encounter to share with owner at visit, clean up pet messes, sit on floor and play, make sure home is securely locked when leaving

About: I've spent the last 4 years volunteering with Ruff Pack Refuge. RPR specializes with rescuing special needs and elderly dogs. My responsibilities included cleaning kennels, administration of medications, dog walking, fostering dogs, e.t.c. Over the past couple of years I have enjoyed pet sitting for friends and family. I am available all the time I have a very flexible schedule and I am sure we can figure something out via text or call... I have a fenced yard, nice neighborhood to walk around, and a large comfy and soft couch for anyone to lounge around and relax if needed

About: Hi there! I'm Sarah - I live in Nevada City and work for a healthcare company (from home, so my schedule is entirely flexible). I've been a pet-sitter in various capacities for about 15 years; from staying at owner's houses to keep their furry friends safe, happy, and at ease, to daily drop-ins and dog walks - I've even had some experience with reptiles and birds! I'm new(ish) to the area (originally from Maryland, but moved to Nevada County a few months ago from San Francisco) but consider myself an active volunteer and member of this wonderful town. I love to hike, explore dog parks with my own pup, and host/attend dog playdates as much as possible. Caretaking has always been a passion of mine as a healthcare worker, but that certainly doesn't stop with humans. I can't wait to hear from you and provide your pet the best care, catered to your requests and their needs; I have ample time throughout the day to take walks, go to parks, or drop in to spend some time with your furry friend if preferred. I own a car, have a license, and can generally make myself available in any way that best suits your pet(s) needs. I don't have a yard, however, I love in a large condo with two floors, which I've often used to separate dogs and other animals if needed. I live a quick 10 minute walk from Pioneer Park, and frequent other local dog parks, so can guarantee your pal as much exercise and social time as they may need! I live with my fiance and our very gentle, medium-sized cockapoo Rigatoni; we love hikes and nature and don't host parties or leave the house for extended periods of time, so your pet will always be in a safe, caring environment, and will receive full attention in an extremely dog-friendly, clean environment. As I'm between jobs and currently working to start my own marketing business as a side-project, I have ample time and availability to dedicate to your puppy pals and feline friends. Little heads-up is required on my end, and I'll almost always find a way to make it work! When pet-sitting in your home, I consider the responsibility and level of trust to be immense, and treat each visit with care, respect, and diligence. While in your home, I vow to do my job - keeping your pal safe and in joyful spirits. I'm happy to accommodate as needed (depended upon the needs of your pets and whether I'll be staying in-home) but generally bring my personal work project, some crossword puzzles, and a few silly toys to bat around with your pet. While I prefer to pet-sit at your buddy's home for the sake of their comfort etc., I am available and more than happy to bring your pet to my home (located just a mile outside of Nevada City proper), which is fully equipped and ready to house your furry friend. I do have a (very friendly and well-behaved) cockapoo at my home, though he's extremely well-mannered and enjoys hosting new friends. I have an upstairs portion of my home which I do not allow my dog to roam around in often. I store a spare crate and new dog toys/blankets etc. should your dog prefer privacy and time away from my dog.

About: Offering a safe home away from home, compassionate care, and peace of mind for pet owners is something that all pet sitters should be offering. I go far beyond this standard providing both care and training. Since I was a child, dogs and cats have gravitated toward me and I've always enjoyed their companionship; you can almost always find me with at least one dogs around. It's never been an unruly mass of teeth and paws though; I've always taken the time to teach my furry friends to walk on leash, to have immediate recall, to be polite in kitchen, and to use their voices kindly. I do the same with every animal that I am given care of, gently coaching them to be civil, furry companions while showering them with love. I am currently working from home and set my own schedule. I have a set daily morning and evening walk which your pup(s) will join. During the day, you pup(s) will have company of two dogs, three cats and plenty of pets from me. On weekends we go on adventure hikes. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company during the day. I have crates, leashes, grooming tools and home made dog beds for all pet care needs.

About: I grew up around dogs of all sizes and breeds, and have always, always loved dogs! I volunteered at the SPCA for 2 years: walking and caring for dogs in the adoption centers. I work at home, so I have ultimate flexibility during work weeks and weekends. I am happy to take dogs on as many walks/runs/breaks as needed. I am in good shape, and I can handle larger and more energetic breeds. My neighborhood is dog-friendly with plenty of streets and dirt trails to the lake to walk or run on. Dogs are of course allowed inside and can hang out with me all day. I have experience working with dogs with medical conditions and disabilities. Our house is currently dog-free so I have extra time to give your dog(s) extra love.
