Doggy Day Care in Rio Linda

“Wonderful experience! My dog was in great hands. The sitter was responsible, attentive, and very caring. They kept me updated with photos and messages, and I could tell my pup felt safe and happy the whole time. Communication was easy and smooth, and it’s clear they truly love animals. I highly recommend them and will definitely book again.”

About: I’ve raised everything from lambs, goats, chickens to loving on our family pets. I’ve had dogs and cats too. We currently have two dogs. A Great Pyrenees/ Komondor and a Chiweenie I stay home/ homeschool kids. Pet care is a perfect fit with our lives. We’d love to love on your pets while we work as a family to give the best attention and care. We believe that the best way to love and enjoy our furry friends is the same way we operate as a family with love , respect, & boundaries.

“Nicole was very accommodating for Pumpkin's stay. Was able to give meds, and kept Pumpkin calm after her surgery. Also sent lots of pics. Will definitely be booking with her again.”

About: Hello, we are Natalie & Chau. I, Natalie, was a teacher who is certified in CPR. I have my bachelors in psychology and worked as a supervisor and teacher for developmentally disabled adults and teenagers. However my passion had always been about animals ever since I was 5 years old. So now I am living my dream surrounded by animals of all kinds! Both my partner and I work from home so there is always someone home and it’s double the fun! My family and I are well versed in dog training methods and are very well adapted towards handling multiple dogs at once. We live on a mini 1 acre farm so your dogs can experience a mini vacation/retreat while they’re here. It is also very therapeutic for dogs who have anxiety as we have small farm animals and our garden for them to enjoy. On days when the weather is good we like to be in the yard to play off-leash and they can spend time with my dogs indoors as well. During the afternoon we stay indoors and then they will spend the night with me in my room. There will be naps involved and lots of love! We have just moved three years ago and we are finally reopen to new doggy friends from around the area. We are not doing in house meet and greets due to safety reasons but we can meet you at the local park nearby! I’m home all the time so they would be with me 24/7 unless I’m out on an errand. I will not ever leave dogs alone in the car without me. I have an acre of fenced yard. If your dog is more of a hunter than a lover of small animals such as a chicken we would be leashed to walk around the property. There is plenty of space!

“Very fast response and the communication was great. Enjoyed all the pictures through out the day of My Cali. Very appreciative for the last minute sitter.”

“Yvonne is the absolute best! She helped us out when our sitter cancelled at the last minute - and boy did we luck out! She was extremely responsive, responsible and just a really warm, kind person. Our pup absolutely adored Yvonne and was excited to see her each morning. It was a relief to have him in such great hands. :)”

“Jessica is amazing and helped me out with taking in riot with open arms even on a last minute basis. Riot came back super sleepy. He was able to play all day. And I was comfortable knowing he was in good hands while at work.”

About: I have over two years of hands-on experience with dog walking and house sitting, caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I’m also a long-time dog owner of five years and recently trained my own puppy, now seven months old. I work a few days in an office part-time, so I have a very flexible schedule to take care of pets, take them on long walks, and do drop ins in my home, we have a fully fenced big backyard that dogs can enjoy and run in. For clients homes I come come with an understanding that every dog is different, and I am flexible to cater to each individual dogs needs and make sure that they are safe, feel safe, and enjoy our time together

About: I started volunteering at the Antioch Animal Shelter in the 4th grade. Since then I have volunteered at numerous shelters and rescues, including the emergency animal shelter in Oroville after the Camp Fire. I'm Disaster Animal Rescue Team (D.A.R.T.) trained, animal CPR and first aid certified, and have years of TNR experience. I have had many exotics as pets, including a reef tank at one time. I have no issue feeding crickets and worms, but I can't feed snakes rodents. I'm a lifelong vegetarian, so that would traumatize me. Lol. I also love rodents, and currently have 2 rescue guinea pigs. Animal care and nutrition are a passion of mine. I'm also an expert teeth brusher! I brush my cats and dogs teeth every night and some of my pet sits as well. I'm very experienced giving medication, even pills to cats and my recently adopted cat Ricky is diabetic. Two of my regular cats I sit take meds, and one gets insulin injections, so I'm very comfortable with both and also know how to check blood glucose. Animals are allowed on the furniture in my home, even the bed. A couple of dogs I regularly sit sleep in the bed with me and my dogs. I treat other people's furbabies the way I would want my furbabies treated. I'm a helicopter pet parent so I totally understand how hard it is to trust someone with the ones you love. If I ever thought something was wrong with your pet I would notify you asap, and I have no issue taking an animal to the vet. I have a rescue dog who has occasional seizures and a rescue kitty with kidney disease that I give sub-q fluids to every day, so I am very comfortable with special needs animals. I'm pretty OCD when it comes to pet care. I actually have a pet thermometer and carry a microchip reader in my truck with an extra leash. You'd be surprised how many times I've used that chip reader! Being a helicopter pet parent I NEVER EVER leave an animal outside alone, not even in my fenced in yard. I don't take chances. I'm also obsessively clean, so your litter box will not be a hot mess when you return, and if your dog uses a potty pad no problem. I also have waterproof vinyl plank flooring so accidents and kitty puke is easy to clean up. :-D. When I board animals it is very much mi casa esu casa! I'm also more than happy to water plants when I do drop-ins as well, since I have them myself and am also a gardener. :-) I work from home 3 days a week and the other 2 days I come home for lunch since the office is only 2.5 miles from my house. I'm home most weekends as well. I follow the care instructions to the letter. If your pup requires a crate it must be brought with them, since mine are not crated. I am comfortable giving medication and supplements, measuring food, following a raw food diet, feeding exotics, etc. I'm also comfortable grooming for an extra fee, but will never ignore a mat in their fur or charge extra for daily grooming like toothbrushing.

“My dog had a great time with Samea. I highly recommend her.”

“Domynique was amazing with my puppy Ollie. She sent updates and would provide walks along with just great quality time. She was super accommodating to my commute that she volunteered to meet me half way. Ollie always came home ready for a nap after a great day with Domynique, will definitely be booking again and would recommend 🥰”

“This is so long over due! Diane is lovely and really loves all the doggies in her care. She has done such an amazing job in her home to encore the dogs are healthy happy and safe. My dog often got sad leaving Diane as he had more fun with her and her dogs than he does at home with a couple of older cats who don't care for him much.;-)”

“Happy I found Martha to take care of Niko. She responds in a timely manner & very flexible with my last minute requests. She ask all the important questions to assure she provides the best care for your fur-child. My shy Niko and her sweet pup Misty got along really well hanging out for the first time. Niko enjoyed his stay with Martha & her family!”

I loved all the pictures and videos. Nelly was so tired and happy when I picked him up. It was the best!! We will definitely be booking again. Highly recommend :)”

About: I’ve been a pet parent my entire adult life and truly believe that they make life sweeter! I work from home with a flexible schedule so I’m always available to love on, play with, feed, and potty break as your pup(s) needs/wants. I have experience caring for elder pets and pets who require medical attention, including medication administration. I have one dog of my own, a midsize Labradoodle, who is incredibly loving and playful. He’ll be sure to be your pups BFF in no time! Pet care comes first in my life! I’m usually home during the day and, when I’m not, my pup either comes with me or is quite comfy inside the house. I have a fenced yard with grass, a great setup for puppy play. Your pup is welcomed into my home as if it were their own, with opportunity to get comfy on furniture or pet beds, play with all the toys, eat on schedule, and have regular access to water. Mixed time is enjoyed inside the house and in the backyard, as weather permits. Regular potty breaks are available, as often as needed. Food is provided as scheduled and water is available regularly. Toys are aplenty and my pup and I are always happy to play or just be good company in mellow moments. My dog is not crated at any time, but I'm happy to crate yours if needed.

“Our dog had a great time with Cathy, full of play time and came home drained. We appreciated video & picture updates to know things were going well.”

“Can't believe I haven't reviewed Julie's services yet! We've been taking our corgi to her for daycare for several months now and I can tell he is taken care of and loved. He's a happy boy when he comes home. Although some days he doesn't want to leave!”

“Very welcoming and clean home.”
