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!

“She was respectful and nice. She communicated very well. When I picked up Loki I can tell he had a good time and a lot of fun. I will definitely book with her again.”

“We were so happy leaving Mac with Thanh-Mai. Mac was so comfortable staying with them. She sent me tons of photos and video and was so communicative but allowed me to enjoy my event. I’m from out of town but come to Fresno a lot to see family and I hope to leave Mac with Thanh-Mai anytime I’m in town.”

About: I began dogsitting for close friends last year before deciding to make profile on Rover. I’ve had dogs and cats for most of my life. I currently have dogs of my own, and caring for them is part of my everyday life. I have experience with dogs of all ages, including senior dogs. I can give them plenty of love and attention, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and treated like part of the family. Taking care of animals is second nature to me. I have open availability for boarding and can house up to four dogs. I will follow dietary instructions and feeding schedules given. I have a fenced backyard for your dogs to run around and play in, I can feed your dogs separately from mine, and watch them closely.

“Amazing sitter!! She was very informative and sent updates on what was going on with my baby. Gave her lots of walks and 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!”

“Kara is the best! Ziggy just stayed for daycare - Last weekend for three nights. He and his sister Misha have been going for years now - would not leave my furbabies anywhere else!”

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!

“Alivia is so good with our Dolly girl and gives us peace of mind that she’s okay when we’re at work! Thank you!”

Amanda G.

“Remee was so sweet and trustworthy. My doggy instantly felt comfortable when meeting her. Her love for pets is very noticeable. She is very good with communicating every step of the way. We are happy we found her.I would definitely recommend her services. Thank you Remee for the great service.”

Mario D.

“Riley & Derek and their kids were great hosts - very flexible and accommodating with our 5-month-old puppy for a last-minute request! They were so sweet and welcoming, and they communicated well, sending photo updates throughout the day. When we picked up our puppy, he was completely tired out, which is an AMAZING sign to us - it meant he had a blast playing with their kids! Our puppy usually has a ton of young-puppy energy and zoomies, but he came back to us so calm 😌. Go see them!”

I grew up with 2 dogs and 1 cat that I loved the most. I cannot wait to meet all your fur babies! I work a full time job currently working from home.

About: I grew up with dogs and have 4 years of professional dog and cat caretaking experience - I worked at an animal hospital in the boarding department taking care of dogs and cats (giving meds, feeding, nail trims, and daycare). Then I moved states and I worked at a local grooming salon for 2 years. I am available most days as I have a remote job that is very flexible. I currently don’t have my german shepherd dog with me as she lives with my dad. I can take as much time as you need as my remote job is very flexible and allows 1:1 time with your pet. I love to take morning and evening walks! I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would my own. I understand how important it is to maintain your pet’s routine, provide lots of love and attention, and keep your home clean and secure while you’re away. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and committed to giving you peace of mind with regular updates. I send many photos and videos :) My house has a tiny backyard but I have a park across the street and a nice walking trail nearby.
