Doggy Day Care Ripperdan

About: My work with animals started when I was just 10 years old, volunteering at a family friend’s dog daycare. What began as a childhood passion turned into over 15 years of hands-on experience working with animals of all shapes, sizes, breeds, and temperaments! Over the years, I’ve worked at several dog daycares, volunteered with shelters and rescue organizations, completed an internship at a nonprofit feline shelter and spay/neuter clinic, and worked as an Animal Control Officer. I also have experience in animal behavior and training, with a particular interest in behavioral rehabilitation, socialization, and working with dogs who need a little extra patience or understanding. I remain heavily involved in animal rescue, particularly with Belgian Malinois and German Shepherds, and regularly help foster, evaluate, and rehabilitate dogs in need. At home, my husband and I have quite the little zoo! Our family includes five large dogs (four Belgian Malinois and a German Shepherd), five cats, and some exotic pets. Having such a diverse household has given me extensive experience with different species, personalities, care requirements, and the importance of safely managing a multi-animal home. I’m also trained in pet CPR and first aid, have experience with pet nutrition, and offer basic grooming care, including bathing, nail trims, teeth brushing, and ear cleaning. I’m comfortable administering medications, caring for senior animals, and accommodating pets with special needs or behavioral quirks. I understand that every animal is an individual. Some want to spend the day playing, exploring, and staying active, while others would much rather curl up on the couch and enjoy some company. My goal is to make your pets feel as comfortable, safe, and loved as possible while you’re away. Whether that means extra exercise, enrichment activities, maintaining their usual routine, or making room for one more in bed, I’m happy to accommodate! I know how difficult it can be to trust someone else with your animals, especially when they have unique needs. As someone with a houseful of my own, I completely understand. I treat every animal in my care with the same patience, attention, and affection I give my own. A little note for fellow pet professionals: I’m always open to discussing reciprocal pet care arrangements with other experienced, qualified, and trustworthy sitters. Sometimes the best support system is another animal person who understands exactly what goes into caring for our four-legged (and occasionally eight-legged!) family members. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! 🐾 I’m fortunate to work from home while continuing my education and pursuing a career in nursing! I work on-call, after-hours shifts in healthcare, which allows me to remain home for the majority of my workday. Occasionally, I need to step out briefly to see a patient, but these visits are typically short, and pets are rarely left alone for more than a couple of hours. Because of my flexible schedule, I’m able to spend plenty of time with the animals in my care, providing regular potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, playtime, and lots of attention. Caring for animals is already a huge part of my everyday life, so welcoming a few extra furry friends fits naturally into our routine! Safety is always my number one priority when caring for animals! With my background in Animal Control, animal behavior, training, and rescue, I’ve learned just how important it is to provide a safe, structured, and comfortable environment for every pet, regardless of their personality or needs. Our home has a fully fenced yard with plenty of room to run, play, and explore. We also have spare bedrooms, extra crates and kennels, baby gates, and designated spaces that allow us to accommodate different personalities, routines, and comfort levels. Whether your pet enjoys socializing with other animals or would prefer their own quiet space, we’re happy to make accommodations! We’re very intentional about preventing accidents. Food, medications, cleaning supplies, and other potentially hazardous items are kept securely stored to prevent accidental ingestion. Pets are supervised during outdoor activities and interactions with other animals, and we never force introductions or allow unsupervised interactions between resident pets and guests. Our own dogs are crate-trained, which allows us to safely separate everyone whenever necessary. One of the biggest benefits of our household is that someone is almost always home! On the rare occasion we both need to step out, we make sure every animal is safely secured in an appropriate space. I’m also happy to accommodate crate routines, feeding schedules, medications, and any special instructions your pet may have. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I take the same approach while respecting their established routines and environment. I make sure doors and gates are secured, food and medications are handled appropriately, and pets receive the attention, exercise, and supervision they’re accustomed to. I understand that trusting someone with your pets is a big deal. As someone with a houseful of animals myself, I know how much peace of mind comes from knowing they’re safe. My goal is to provide the same level of care, patience, and attention to detail that I expect for my own animals, while keeping you updated with photos and messages along the way!

“As always, Audra was a fabulous sitter for my furry babies. She always loves on them and they LOVE to go to her house. She communicates great, provides excellent care, and her home environment is perfect for the dogs to enjoy indoor and outdoor space as well as play with their doggy friends😊 She is my one and only sitter because she is the BEST!!”

“Jasleen took our last minute day care booking graciously and promptly. She saved our day. She is so nice and accommodating to us and our dogs’ need. She treated our pets like family. Which is everything I could ask for when I’m unable to take care of them myself and have to leave them under someone else’s care. The photos and videos we received while we were away are much appreciated! We are thankful to Jasleen and will not hesitate to trust her with our pets whenever we are in town.”

“Krystle was great since the beginning! She took us the same hour we searched for her on a Sunday. Krystle updated us with pictures and nice comments about our dog. We saw that she has a LOT of experience with dogs. Our 10yr old Golden Retriever came back happy! We would come back and recommend her to any of our friends.”

“Clarissa was beyond wonderful. She sent me updates and pictures. I could not be happier. Sam, my poodle, was calm and cool when I picked her up. Thank you so much Clarissa. I will recommend Clarissa to all my friends.”

“Very late on my review but Farin took such good careof my Rosie! We took a day trip out of town and every time I told my husband at this time I will check in Farin already updated me few minutes before on how she was and sent pictures I loved it! I had to drop off Rosie early morning and she was up and ready to take her! Rosie seemed very comfortable and got along great with her pets. Thank you Farin! Appreciate you taking care of her the whole day! Definitely would go back to her and recommend for others to choose Farin for your next doggy day care!”

“This was my first time leaving my dog with a pet sitter, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From the beginning, Frank was kind, professional, and genuinely caring. Throughout the day, he kept me updated with adorable photos and little notes, which made me feel so at ease. It was clear my dog was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. I’m so grateful to have found someone as trustworthy and passionate as Frank. I will definitely be reaching out again in the future. Highly recommend!”

About: I was raised on a ranch with numerous pets, including many dogs from a young age. Over the years, I have gained extensive experience in training puppies and caring for senior dogs. I have a genuine passion for puppy training and continuously seek out new methods to effectively teach them. Additionally, I am well-versed in giving medication to dogs when they require it. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom with a 1-year-old while also attending school. Most of the care happens throughout the day alongside my normal responsibilities at home. I make time for feeding, letting the pet outside or going on walks, cleaning up after them, and making sure they get attention and exercise. Since I am home most of the day, I am able to monitor their needs and keep a consistent schedule. I usually plan pet care around my child’s routine and my schoolwork, such as feeding in the morning and evening and taking care of walks or playtime during breaks or nap times. Being home gives me the flexibility to balance caring for both my child and my pet while staying organized with school responsibilities. I have a secure, fenced patio and two friendly dogs to keep your pups company. If necessary, I can separate them. My dogs and I take daily walks, and we would be thrilled to have your furry friend join us. Visits to the dog park are also on the agenda if it's an activity your pup enjoys!

“I really enjoyed working with Iris & Robert. Iris was extremely communicative, flexible, and had a nice/clean environment for my puppy. I felt my puppy got a lot of attention and was treated like family. I could tell she was very excited to go to Iris' home in the morning and did not want to leave when I picked her up, which was a very good sign to me. I will definitely be returning for my next doggy daycare needs!”

“Kara was great with Scoobert. He has a lot of separation anxiety since he was recently adopted by us. Kara communicated with us and asked for ways to help him feel more comfortable with her. She kept us updated and sent photos. We appreciate her attentiveness.”

“This is our second time with MJ and my dog is suuuper excited to see him. I have a high energy dog and she has so much fun with MJ each time. She doesn't even want to leave him haha Highly recommended!”

About: Hey dog lovers, My name is Alexis. I started walking dogs when I was 12 for the elderly and I loved it because I was helping people who are not able to walk or people who don't have time. Around the same age, I did volunteer work at the SPCA. I don't have the time to have a dog of my own full time (let's face it, they are like kids). I was raised around dogs in my youth and took care of them all my life, so i have plenty of experience. I also have been walking for WAG for 4 years and have a 5 star rating. As well as references and reviews! They will be treated like my own fur babies. I provide a doggy bed and treats. I’m available anytime now. I’m a full time student and this is going to be my priority until I finish schooling. I will have plenty of time for your pup! I have a house that I own in a very great community! The community I live in has a field for dogs and lots of places to walk. I do have a backyard but it has not been fenced in yet.

“Last minute booking and Jennifer was so responsive and communicative!!”

About: Hi, my name is Jenn! I've grown up around animals my entire life. When I am not pet sitting, I foster both cats and dogs, which has given me experience working with senior pets, puppies, kittens, and animals that need extra patience and support. I believe pet care goes beyond basic needs. I take the time to ensure pets feel safe, mentally stimulated, and comfortable. Whether that means positive reinforcement training, enriching play, and giving them extra affection. I also love baking homemade healthy snacks for pets and enjoy learning new ways to ensure your pet is happy. For the next three months, my schedule is flexible. I am available to board pets during the weekdays and weekends. I can accommodate various schedules for people who are vacationing or need a dog walker. I strive to create a calm and fun environment for your pet. Currently, there are no children in my home which allows for a quieter more relaxed setting for pets who may need extra comfort or routine. In my home, I have plenty of space for your pet's needs. I have one dog and two cats that are friendly with other dogs and cats. However, I can also accommodate an additional room or a separate area for your pet. Simply share your preference, and I can accommodate it.

About: I've taken care of pets about half my life and always clicked with all kinds pets and relied on for many pet needs of the family. I have a pretty open schedule so it fits just fine in my routine and daily life caring for pets of all kind. It works great I tend to the needs and necessary care of the pet or pets rather it be my home or clients. Everything will be taken cared of and pets leaving happy.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, including dogs, birds, and cats. So I’m very comfortable caring for a variety of pets and understanding their different needs. While most of my experience comes from caring for my own animals and fostering animals from Fresno Humane, I’ve also pet sat for family friends during vacations, making sure their pets are fed, safe, and given attention and care while they’re away. What sets me apart is how much I genuinely care, I treat every pet like my own. I’m patient, attentive, and always willing to follow specific instructions, whether that’s routines, special care, or just giving extra love. I’m also very reliable and communicative, so you can always trust me, give feedback, ask for updates, and know your pet is in good hands. I recently moved back from college and currently have a very open and flexible schedule. Since I’m looking for a reliable, long-term job, pet care fits perfectly into my routine, and I’m available most days and times to help out whenever needed. I’m dependable, easy to reach, and can adjust my schedule to make sure your pets are consistently cared for. I believe pets are most comfortable and secure in their own home environment, so I primarily focus on caring for them in the client’s home where they can stay in their normal routine and surroundings. This helps reduce stress and keeps them feeling safe while their owners are away. If needed, I am also able to care for pets in my home. While my space is smaller and does not include a yard, it is clean, organized, and pet-friendly, with plenty of room for comfort, play, and attention. I make sure they get lots of care, cuddles, and supervision. I also spend a lot of time outdoors myself, so if appropriate and safe for the pet, I can take them outside for fresh air and activity. No matter the setting, my priority is always safety, trust, and making sure each pet feels comfortable, cared for, and loved.

“Melissa was so nice and accommodated my need for an earlier drop off with no hesitation! Odie loved staying there and playing with her dogs all day! He came home a very happy and very exhausted pup! Will absolutely continue to use! So happy I found her!”

“My rescued dog Jojo is very timid and slow to allow people into her trust. ReShan quickly won her heart and her trust, and mine as well. She is always so happy to see him, I know he treats her well. I have that peace of mind that she is well loved and cared for while I can't be with her. ReShan makes sure Jojo gets lots of walks and exercise, which she loves , and he brushes her coat so it shines. ReShan has also helped Jojo to make progress with her fear of dogs. She recently, at age 4 years, play-bowed to another dog, a first for her! ReShan also commands her respect and obedience, something I am still working at. Jojo and I are very thankful to have ReShan's help in our lives.”
