Doggy Day Care Portola Park

“Ashley was fantastic! She was able to watch Mr cuddles on super short notice, was very flexible on timing, communicative, and is an awesome groomer. Mr cuddles came with matted hair (our toddler loves dumping food on him) and came out pristine. Thank you Ashley!”

“Nancy and Richard were great sitters. They took the time to learn about Luna and understand she’s still a puppy. She was completely comfortable with them. Will keep them as favorites!”

About: Animals have always been part of my life. Growing up, our family was constantly rescuing strays, helping lost pets find their way home, and occasionally falling in love and adding them to the family ourselves. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I currently share my home with my Australian Shepherd, Otis, and two bearded dragons, and I understand how much trust it takes to leave a beloved pet in someone else’s care. When your pet is with me, they’ll be treated like family. Whether they love long walks, belly rubs, playtime, or simply having someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. I know every pet is different, and I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities so their experience feels as stress-free as possible. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet! I own a business, so I'm very flexible with availability during the week. Weekends I'm completely available. I will be here the whole time whenever we have visitors. I have a big yard for pups to play in. We love playing fetch or just sitting around our backyard enjoying our beautiful California weather. When we're not outside, inside our home is a calm environment.

“Hands down, the best and nicest dog sitter out there! I really love how Samantha is so caring towards my baby girl, she would reply super quick. And by super quick, I mean within minutes sometimes seconds. Although it was my first time using a sitter, I know what to expect in the future and Samantha has set the bar up high. To be honest, I think I won’t even look for another sitter if needed in the future, I will book Samantha again. If you ask for an update throughout the day, Samantha will get back to you super quick with a picture or pictures. Samantha will literally take good care of you and your fur baby, and she knows how important your Fur baby means to you. And she will literally try her very best to accommodate your requests! Thank you Samantha, you’re the best of the best!”

“It was our first time using Rover. Our fur baby is only 2 months. He’s not potty trained and never been outside our house with strangers. Holly was very patient and sweet to him. She was very communicative and sent updates and pictures. She went above and beyond taking him out, bathing him, giving him treats and cuddling him since that’s all he’s used to at home. She was also flexible with us and accepted our reservation the night before. We will definitively reach out to Holly again when we need someone to care for Oreo.”

“Ted had a great time with Dalton & Mariela. Dalton was great with communication throughout and responded quickly. Would definitely book again.”

“I had an excellent experience with Candi. From the initial booking process, she was great at communicating, making sure everything was clear and set for our trip to a local event. Since you can't see the dog sitter's address until you actually reserve your booking, I asked her about the distance between the event and her place. She went the extra mile by looking up various potential locations, such as drop-off points and multiple entrances, which gave us a rough idea of how far it would be. This impressed me and showed her dedication and thoughtfulness. Right from the start, I found Candi to be very trustworthy and transparent. She consistently sent me photos of my boy every other hour, and even asked questions when he wasn't feeling well. Her attention to detail and concern for my son's well-being was truly appreciated. Although this was just a daycare stay, I would feel completely comfortable boarding Mozart with Candi in the future. I highly recommend her services!”

“Shelby and her boyfriend Nathan did a great job watching my pup while I worked. They were very flexible with my late hours and thorough with understanding his personality and needs. It was more than enough because my pup is super easy to care for. They walked him, fed him, and played with him and I think Shelby sent more pics than I’ve ever gotten from any daycare before. I also appreciated that Shelby clearly had put in some time to learn about dogs and their behavior. I’ve done that myself so I noticed in the things she said that she had spent some time on learning about them. That always makes me feel more comfortable with daycare because it makes people more likely to see signs of potential problems in dog interactions. I would absolutely have them watch my pup again in the future.”

“My two dogs had a wonderful time staying at Hanah and Dabin’s beautiful apartment. They were very accommodating and kind, especially since one of my dogs recently had surgery. Also, both of my dogs are needy and suffer from separation anxiety, so they can be a lot to handle. Hanah and Dabin were very communicative and kept me updated with photos, which put me at ease while I was away. I felt safe leaving my dogs with them. Thank you, Hanah and Dabin! I look forward to the next time.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​”

About: I grew up with dogs and currently have 2 cats. One of my cats is a senior (almost 20 years old) so I do have experience caring for a senior pet. I love animals and will treat yours as my own! I would prefer dogs who are kid friendly. About this sitter: My name is Tessa and I'm a stay-at-home mom of 3. I love animals and have 2 cats myself! I would love to make your dog a part of our family for the day or longer! Regarding my cats: I am able to keep my cats separate from your dog, if you are concerned about that. I think it’s best to keep them separate to avoid any issues. I put my cats in my primary bedroom upstairs along with all their stuff and they are perfectly fine! But if your dog is cat friendly, I don’t mind letting them interact a bit. My senior cat is just a little freaked out by high energy dogs but she calms down after a bit. My younger cat is probably more open to dogs, she’s very friendly and mellow. Either way, I’m happy to accommodate! I drop my 3 kids off at school Monday-Friday and I am done with that around 8:30am. I pick up my youngest at 1:40 and my middle child at 3pm. So I will have about 4 hours each day until pick up my youngest. I am also available most weekends. Just message me and will do my best to accommodate your schedule. We live in a 4 bedroom condo and I have a fenced in patio and plenty of walking space throughout my neighborhood. Your dogs will feel safe and right at home! I will also make sure that your dogs are safe and cared your dog is in my home!

About: Hello, this is Joey! I have always had a fondness for dogs throughout my life. I have helped my extended family with watching their elderly dog, who has had a lot of problems with most people but she really likes me. I make sure to approach all pets with kindness and acceptance. Regardless of the challenge, I want to help out pets and seeing dig smiles fills me with joy! I currently work from home with a flexible schedule. Whenever I am needs, I will do my best to accommodate their wishes. As long as you give me some ample time, I will make my schedule work for you! I live with my dog in my apartment but my husband and I always make sure to take her out for walks, play with her, and take her to the dog park to help keep her fit. For my extended family’s elderly dog, I make sure to watch her closely, give her easy to eat snacks, and take her into the backyard to get some exercise. I never rush her and make sure to wait for however long she need.

About: I have taken care of dogs all throughout high school and college whether it be family, neighbors, friends, or mutual friends! I am comfortable with giving pet’s medication or following specific instructions as needed. I can take care of all kinds of dogs and will be sure they feel as comfortable and cared for as possible. I love spending time with dogs especially as I am away from my own at home! I work from home as I have a remote internship this summer. I typically go to workout classes / go on runs in the morning but never longer than an hour. My backyard is dog friendly with a closed fence and lawn. My home is one story with plenty of room to play. Only one out of five of my roommates is home who also has dogs of her own.

“Beth and Sean (and Sunny) welcomed Kenzie into their home for a couple of daytime sittings. They sent plenty of updates and pictures of her stay, which was great. Very appreciative that they accepted a booking on short notice, as well. Thank you for caring for her!”

About: I’m a lifelong dog owner and current Goldendoodle parent with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs. I’ve also walked and cared for dogs for families in my neighborhood growing up, giving me experience with different breeds and personalities. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love being around dogs. I’ll treat your dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I work from home, which allows me to provide flexible, attentive care throughout the day. I’m available for walks, feeding, medication administration, and regular potty breaks as needed. Your dog will receive plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship, and I can easily adjust to their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I work from home, so they’ll have consistent supervision, attention, and care. My home is clean and dog-friendly, and I have a gentle, well-socialized Goldendoodle. I follow each dog’s routine closely, including walks, feeding, and medication if needed. I also provide updates so you can feel confident your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for.

“She did great! We went to Disney for the day and my little Charlie loved it. He got to play with other small dogs all day. Cheryl even hand fed our dog because he gets so excited and anxious that he won't eat. She even sent us pictures of him running around everywhere.”

“Michelle was great with Leonardo. She has a genuinely good vibe about her and was very welcoming to show me how her home is dog-friendly. Her home is comfortable and clean. I felt safe leaving Leonardo with her and she even helped me with cleaning up Leonardo’s hair that was covering his eyes. I appreciated that. Thank you, Michelle. I would love for her to watch Leonardo again! =)”

“First time using Rover and Carolyn took such great care of Nami! She made sure to ask about Nami’s routine and habits so that she would feel more comfortable in her home and Carolyn provided lots of pictures and updates throughout the day. I’m super impressed with her open communication and level of care.”

“Rebecca is fantastic! My boy had a great day with her full of activity. When I picked him up, he laid on her front steps like he didn’t want to leave. I highly recommend Rebecca and will definitely be back!”

Ellie D.

“Molly was a great sitter for our baby Chanel. We can tell she really cares about the dogs she watches. We loved that she sent us pictures of our dog while we were away. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!”

Melissa R.

“This was Cookie’s first time staying with a sitter, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we met Helen, we felt at ease—she’s warm, kind, and so easy to talk to. She treated Cookie like her own and kept us updated with sweet messages and photos that truly gave us peace of mind. It’s never easy leaving your furry family member with someone new, but with Helen, we felt completely safe. We’re so grateful to have found her, and we’ll definitely be reaching out again. Thank you, Helen, for taking such loving care of our girl.”
