Doggy Day Care in Pala

“Nazgul and her family were exceptionally warm and attentive with Midnight. From the moment we arrived, I could tell she would settle in quickly and feel at home. Their updates and photos were thoughtful and reassuring, and it was clear she was genuinely cared for. I highly recommend Nazgul and her family to anyone seeking a safe, loving environment for their pet.”

About: I am a reliable and dedicated dog sitter with six years of experience. I genuinely enjoy what I do, and I understand that each dog has their own personality, needs, and routines. I take time to make sure each dog in my care feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you are away. I enjoy being surrounded by dogs and learning new things along the way, I strive to create a positive environment where pets can relax and feel secure as if they were at home. I know how important trust and communication are when leaving a pet with a sitter. That’s why I focus on being dependable, responsible, and respectful of both pets and their homes. I provide updates and photos so owners can feel reassured that their dogs are happy, safe, and receiving the best care possible. Through my years of experience, I have cared for dogs of many different breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I am comfortable working with energetic dogs that require frequent exercise as well as calmer or older dogs that need a slower pace and more patience. My responsibilities have included feeding schedules, administering basic medications if needed, maintaining secure spaces for puppies and seniors, ensuring clean water and bedding, daily walks, monitored playtime, leash training, kennel training, connecting with anxious or aggressive dogs, etc. I have also gained experience understanding dog body language and behavioral cues. This has helped me recognize when a dog may be stressed, excited, tired, or in need of attention. Being attentive to these signals allows me to respond appropriately and provide care that fits each dog’s personality and needs. My goal is to make sure every pet feels secure and relaxed while in my care. I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, which is why I prioritize reliability, communication, and respect. I make sure to keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their dog is being well cared for. Building trust with both pets and their owners is very important to me. Overall, my experience caring for animals has taught me patience, responsibility, and attention to detail. I genuinely enjoy spending time with the dogs I care for, and I strive to provide a safe, attentive, and positive environment where every dog feels comfortable and loved. Caring for dogs is a natural part of my daily routine. I structure my schedule so I have plenty of time to give dogs the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Because of this, I’m able to stay consistent with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and constant supervision. Throughout the week, I intentionally set aside time for dog care activities such as walks, outdoor breaks, enrichment, and quality interaction. I enjoy being active and spending time outside, so taking dogs on walks or letting them explore safely is something that fits easily into my lifestyle. This allows me to provide pets with both physical activity and mental stimulation. In addition to basic care, I also make time to simply spend quality time with the pets I watch. Whether it’s playing, giving attention, or keeping them company, I believe dogs benefit from having someone present who is patient and engaged with them. I try to make sure every dog feels comfortable and cared for during their stay. I am used to maintaining structured care routines, which is important for helping dogs stay relaxed while their owners are away. I follow feeding schedules carefully, make sure pets always have fresh water, and ensure they get regular bathroom breaks and exercise. Sticking to their normal routine helps dogs feel safe and reduces unnecessary stress. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my main goal is to keep their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any specific care preferences. Maintaining a familiar routine helps pets feel safe and reduces stress while their owners are away. In terms of boarding in my home, I create a calm and safe environment where dogs have space to relax, play, and receive plenty of attention. I make sure they get regular potty breaks, daily walks, and time for exercise and mental stimulation. I also monitor them closely to ensure they are comfortable and adjusting well to the new environment. When house sitting in a client’s home, I focus on keeping the pet’s care exactly how they are used to it. I provide feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship while also keeping the home clean with respect to the owner’s space. Staying in the pet’s familiar environment often helps them feel more relaxed while their owner is away. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and body language to make sure they are comfortable and happy. If a dog is more energetic, I make sure they get enough activity. If they are older or more relaxed, I adjust the care to be calm and patient. Communication is very important to me while caring for pets. I provide regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are safe and happy. My goal is to give pets reliable and attentive care.

“Shannon to the rescue and always takes good care of Sandy!! Would highly recommend Shannon for all your pet sitting needs. She’s caring and responds right away to any questions you may have.”

“Alicia and Christian were great with Rocco. You could tell he had a nice time. They were amazing at accommodating a relatively last minute booking request so super grateful. They were awesome! 🤍”

Valentina V.

“What a very nice booking! Great experience all the way around. I felt like I've known Eman and Robby for some time after just meeting the both of them. They are extremely nice and very caring sitters for my dog, Sasha. Thank you so much for all the photos and the video to keep in touch through the day. Sasha enjoyed her stay!”

Thomas C.

“Alisha and Michael made my very nervous dog feel right at home for day care! I was afraid to leave him while I was in town for a local event, so I really appreciated their attentiveness to him and communication. Can’t recommend them enough!”

Paige L.

“Mal has had a confusing time because his alpha, my husband, died unexpectedly last week, and he's had to move house on top of it. He is a rescue and already had separation anxiety. But he had a great time with Sandra, playing with other dogs, with plenty of room to run around, and was he was happy and not insecure when I picked him up both days. Thank you Sandra! Thank you for loving animals!”

“Our puppy had a great time with Nora! Great experience!!”

About: I recently took a break from dog sitting to focus on caring for my baby. Now that things have settled into a routine, I'm excited to start accepting bookings again! I have 6+ years dog-sitting experience with dogs of many different sizes and temperaments. Personally I have a 85 pound German Shepherd mix, Turbo, a 40 pound labradoodle, Maple, and an 80 pound Rottie/GSD mix named Tater. I thoroughly enjoy playing with them everyday and have learned many training techniques from raising them. I have a great deal of experience caring for a highly allergic and anxious dog. I understand the helplessness that can often come with trying to find a treatment that works. If your dog has allergies/skin issues, or any other special needs, I'm more than happy to help. Rest assured your dog will be given the love and attention they need to feel comfortable in my home. We do have 1 cat (named Sesame) who would prefer to be left alone. If your dog is very reactive around cats this will not be a good fit. I am a stay- at- home mom and my husband works from home, so we can offer a great amount of flexibility with drop-off and pick-up times. Your dog will be supervised 24/7 when in my care. I have a large (2.3 acre), fully-fenced backyard for optimal play! I have three friendly dogs who would love to show your dog all the best sniff spots. We also love going on walks, playing fetch, taking naps, and playing "find it." I've taken a dog CPR class to better understand the warning signs of a dog in distress, and what actions to take in an emergency. Being a pet parent myself, I greatly understand the peace of mind that comes from knowing your dog is safe and happy. Therefore, I will always send you multiple updates, with photos, every day throughout your dogs stay. Please let me know if you have any questions! I'd love to schedule a meet and greet. I can't wait to meet your pup!

“Rob was awesome and flexible with our pet's stay. He provided updates of how everyone was getting along and took some amazing photos of our pup. Definitely recommend him.”

“Dana has an immediately obvious love of dogs. It was our first day care visit and I left with no concerns. Picked up our little Minnie who was happy and groomed up. So excited to have someone like Dana to leave my dog with when needed. Thanks Dana!”

“We’ve been bringing Marley to May for two weeks now, and we couldn’t be happier! As pawrents, it’s never easy trusting someone else with your fur baby, but May has been exceptional. It’s clear that Marley is well taken care of, and that means everything to us. Knowing Marley is in good hands while we’re at work gives us so much peace of mind. She truly cares for Marley the same way we do, and that’s rare to find. Thank you, May. We’re grateful.”

Michael C.

“Melissa was absolutely wonderful with caring for Biscuit! We were in Temecula for a wedding and she was available from late afternoon to evening. I really appreciated that she was flexible with the late pick up time. Melissa is awesome at keeping me up to date throughout the day care session. It was also great she let my dog roam around to get acclimated to her home and pups. I can’t recommend her services more if you’re in the Temecula area!”

Louisa M.

“I am extremely protective of my fur baby and thus picky when it comes to who I trust him with! I was so relieved when I found Jeremy this summer before starting back to teaching. I have peace of mind now because I know Jeremy is giving my dog Teddy great care and attention. Jeremy is a kind, thoughtful and positive person and also professional. Teddy is a smart dog who needs stimulation and he gets access to a bunch of toys which he picks through and chooses from! He also gets good work outs on his walks. He comes home tired and happy! I highly recommend Jeremy.”

About: Your pet will be treated like my own ! I have 10+ years of experience caring for pets and have a genuine love for all animals. In addition to dogs and cats I have also cared for small mammals, reptiles, birds and fish. I recently lost my beloved dog after 18 years so look forward to the opportunity to care for your pet with the same love and care I gave my own. I know it can be stressful to trust someone else to care for your animals and to come into to your home, so I want to make you feel as comfortable as possible by understanding yours and your pet's needs. I also will always send consistent updates to my clients as well as pictures of their pets. My schedule is very flexible and I am able to accommodate most times and days needed. I do not have a set schedule aside from sometimes picking up my son from school so I can easily meet the needs of your pet. I believe in treating a client's home with the utmost respect and care. You will always come home to a clean house and happy pets. I am more than happy to water plants, assist with any home care needs, organization, etc.

About: We have a 6 year old male golden retriever who loves to play ball, nap on the couch and snuggles from his little sisters. He was a rambunctious puppy, so we took dog training classes and he is now a well mannered gentleman. I get to stay at home with my 2 kids (under 4 years old), so we have plenty of time to play and give attention to your dog. You can rest assured your dog will be in the care of a loving family and not left by himself all day long. We have a fenced acre of land for your pup to play. Our Golden Retriever loves company of other dogs and we toss the ball for him everyday. If your dog is small we will keep him on a leash when outside in the yard and they will never be left unattended as there is a small gap in the front gates. We would be happy to take your dogs for a walk on a leash. Your dog is welcome in our home!

“Trish and her family are the best. My dog gets all of the love when she is over and comes home exhausted and has happy dreams. Trish is a great communicator and sends fun pics through the day so my work day is that much better. Moving forward, I will be making arrangements for my dog to stay with Trish and fam when I am out of town so that I can travel assured my pup will have all of the love in my absence.”

About: Hi! I’m Becca, a Marine Corps veteran and full-time college student. I’ve worked in a veterinary clinic and have experience providing advanced pet care, including administering oral and injectable medications and basic animal first aid. My boyfriend, who lives with me, is also a Marine Corps veteran and fellow animal lover who helps with pet care when needed. We also have access to Camp Pendleton for pick-ups and drop-offs! Since my classes are mostly online, I’m home most of the day and have plenty of time to play with or spend time with your pup. You can trust that your pets will never be left alone under my care! We live on a quiet 1.5 acre mountaintop property with no nearby neighbors. While most of the property is unfenced, the perimeter has natural barriers including a creek, and pets are never outside unsupervised. For added peace of mind, I also carry pet sitting insurance.

“It was absolutely delightful dealing with Tristan. What a wonderful personality. Boo, my puppy, enjoyed her stay with Triston and we’re definitely going to return.”

“Thank you Robert for taking such great care of our boy Jackson! It was so nice to know what good hands he was in while we were away. Loved the pictures and updates too!”
