Doggy Day Care In Portola Park

“Ashley is seriously the best. Having a border collie means lots of care and attention. Ashley knows that and always handles her like the professional that she is. We really really appreciate her !! Ashley is the best sitter and great person in general, no one can compare. Thank you Ashley for everything!”

“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: Hi, my name is Michelle. Over the years I’ve raised and trained many of my own pets and regularly dog sit for all of my family. I currently have one dog, a Rat Terrier named Memo. He is high energy but he's a happy boy and has the best temperament. For housesitting, please be advised that I will be bringing Memo to stay with me at your home. If you want to see more of my cutie, check out his bio. I’ve cared for dogs of all kinds, from playful puppies who need extra attention and playtime to older dogs who just need a slower pace and a little extra patience. I’m comfortable managing multiple dogs of all sizes. That includes 'pullers' and/or dog reactive from my experience walking dogs at shelters. Here are a few things I’m happy to help with: • Walks, playtime, and activities that keep your dog active and engaged • Puppy guidance and reinforcement of training routines if requested • Patient care for senior dogs or pets with special needs (including administering medications) • Flexible scheduling when possible • Pick up/Drop off within 5 miles of my house. (Main & Civic Center in Santa Ana) • Grooming (only the basics: bathing, drying, brushing.) Price depends on size and length of fur. Sorry, no nail trims. • Dependable care with the same love and attention I give my own dog. (Snuggling always included!) I'd love to schedule a meet-and-greet to meet you and your pet! I do project based work from home so I'm present and not tied down to a rigid schedule which means I have the time and flexibility to give your pet attention when needed. I have a Rat Terrier who gets a long with all dogs, he loves to play but is pretty respectful of dogs who are not into it. Dogs have free rein of my house. I spend a good amount of time with them outside in the yard, they are never let out without supervision.

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!

“Holly was so great! Updating us with Piko's pictures and what he's doing throughout her time with him. She's very calm and confident so that helped out the initial transition and it went smoothly! We would love to have her watch him again soon ?”

About: We've had dogs all of our lives. We'll love yours like our own! Experienced with diabetic dogs, intact dogs, and pups with unique needs. Families continually ask us back because their dogs feel at home with us. We are attentive and provide warm, consistent care, and a bunch of pictures because we know the feeling of being apart from our dog family when we go on vacation. Home care opportunities are welcomed, and we keep your place super tidy as how you left it! We are currently just a one-dog owner as we lose our Rachel in January and are trying to keep our Sunny active/involved with another dog even if only for walks. We walk our dog 4x/day some shorter and some longer, but based on your dogs needs, we'll adjust accordingly. We live in a condo building so we have to take your dog out to relieve themselves. Depending on their needs, we'll go out at least 4x day or less if desired. We'll work with you to understand your dog's needs and we'll meet them. They will always be leashed and guided along your neighborhood or ours.

“Yeti took great care of Rudy and was very flexible with scheduling. I highly recommend Her and will be a repeat customer!”

“Candi is the best! Top of the line communication, lots of photos and videos. Lehua cam home happy and tired which is just what we wanted. If you’re looking for daycare while you’re at the parks, Candi is the best! Thanks for taking such great care of our baby!”

Chantal A.

“Samantha did a great job dog sitting for our mini Aussie at her home. She took Lila on frequent walks and sent pictures throughout the day to let us know our girl was doing great. Samantha was flexible with hours and worked with us to schedule drop offs and pick ups that worked for both of us. Could tell Samantha was very affectionate and provided ample attention. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a person to care for their precious dog.”

“As always, Cheryl did an amazing job with Deuce. I have such good peace of mind when Deuce stays with her and I always receive plenty of photos :) He came back sleepy from such a fun day and happy as a clam!”

“Hanah & Dabin were absolutely amazing and went above and beyond! We’re so happy and they will be our go to whenever we need a sitter in OC! We know how great they are because our dog fell asleep in the car and starting snoring immediately, that’s how much fun Ghost had today. I’m usually very anxious leaving Ghost with a sitter but they absolutely exceeded my expectations!! Hourly updates and photos, it made me enjoy my time without worrying about our baby. Truly amazing and high quality, we are so happy and will recommend to anyone we know in the area that’s in need!!”

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

About: I've always lived with a dog, and by always I mean since I was born. I currently have a 12 year old pitbull that I've had since he was 3 WEEKS OLD! He is now a senior citizen, which has been my favorite phase thus far. I’ve had plenty of other dogs, and I get to know each dogs personality. Just like humans, every dog is different. Age and breed have a lot to do with it as well. I know that younger dogs require more energy to burn with play and walks, and senior dogs want to be included and require us to be patient with them. 🥹 regardless dogs make me happy, and would love to be the one to help take care of your fur babies because they have needs and feelings too. I'm currently working remotely at my own schedule, so for the time being, Im pretty much available any day of the week. I do prefer mornings and afternoons, but I can do late evenings as well. As a pet owner myself, I understand the necessity sometimes. Im currently not offering boarding or care services at my home due to my senior dog. I will respect the rules of the pet owner's home and their preferences when it comes to taking care of their pet.

“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!”

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.

“Patrick was wonderful with Benny. Our puppy was very well cared for and Patrick communicated with me so well I never worried. I highly recommend his service.”

“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.”

“Laura was fantastic! She updated us with pictures of our pups multiple times throughout their stay. Our dogs are a bit finicky and have some separation anxiety and Laura dealt with them so well. We would recommend her to anyone and would for sure use her again.”

Savanna G.

“Hector was a life saver when we needed someone to watch our Murphy. He is a wonderful person, kind, and patient. Welcomed us (and Murphy) and we really felt he was in great hands for the day. Thank you, Hector! We will definitely rebook with you anytime we’re in town!”

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.
