Doggy Day Care in Riverside Park

“Scooby had a blast and has made new friends. Got to run and play all day and is even worn out a bit the next day. He has lots of energy and got to burn it off in a nice big spot with lots of TLC. Thank you Jess!!”

About: Hi! My name is Cora. I'm 67 and throughout my life I can't remember a time I haven't had a pet. Animals are constantly a huge part of my everyday life. I swear, I'm living for these animals! LOL! I live very close to the Avenue of the Giants. I noticed families needed a safe, caring spot for dogs to hang out while they explored the redwoods. My solution was to start a pet-sitting business on my property. The past few years have been full of belly rubs, cuddles and repeat clients. I'm excited to meet your fur babies! Pet care is my daily routine. I'm here serving my three dogs. I wake up to feed them and I walk them daily. They love to meet new friends! I have a fenced, sunny yard that is very close to redwood groves. I love to take a walk in the woods with dogs it makes me feel safer.

About: I have always been an animal lover since childhood and have taken care of a variety of pets of all sizes! I've helped raise puppies, taken care of senior dogs, and helped train good walking, bathing, and bathroom habits. Most animals respond very well to me. Also being a bigger person I have no trouble dealing with larger dogs. Very experienced in all areas of pet care. I am at home this summer until my college classes start in the fall to continue my degree in early childhood education. Weekends or evenings are not a problem for house sitting. Drop by mid-day walks anytime I'm available! I have a lot of availability and would love to spend my time with animals giving them quality care and attention. I am more than happy to watch your pets while you are away on vacation or gone for the day. I Can do drop bys or overnights depending on your preference and your animals needs. I have a large fenced yard that is great for animals if you need boarding. I have reliable transportation to get to and from. I can take them on walks in your neighborhood or go to a local dog park if you prefer. Very open to working with what is best for your animal. I have my own dogs at home but will leave them there while caring for your animal(s) unless you would like the socializing. We have two friendly larger male dogs that love to meet new dogs if you are interested in doggy day care or boarding. Our home has a large size dog door for pets to access the house at their convenience.

“Goliath came back to Kristina for a few hours of day care. He knew where he was when we pulled up. Kristina, her pets and he get along very well. ♥️”

About: With over two decades caring for animals, I understand the importance of consistency, structure, and heartfelt connection. I tailor care to their unique & individual energy level and temperament, making sure they feel safe, loved, and engaged. Skills include: • Providing daily walks, playtime, and mental stimulation • Administering medication and special dietary care • Following training cues and behavioral guidelines • Handling puppies, seniors, and animals with special needs • Ensuring safety and comfort during solo time or socialization • Offering basic grooming and cleanliness maintenance I’m dedicated to creating a fun, secure space for pets to thrive while their humans are away. I’m currently focused on getting a book published, which means my schedule can be flexible yet full—if you catch my drift. Working with animals not only keeps me inspired but also supports my growing business, which combines professional cleaning with attentive pet sitting. ⸻ Pet care is a meaningful and energizing part of my daily routine. Whether it’s morning walks, play sessions, feeding, or simply offering quiet companionship, I prioritize pets’ well-being and happiness every day. Because I’m currently working on publishing a book, I have the flexibility to dedicate focused, consistent time to each animal I care for. This means I can adapt my schedule to meet your pet’s specific needs—whether that’s extra playtime, medication administration, or simply being a calm presence while you’re away. Our family continues to heal from the loss of our beloved cat, Giraffe, last year. Caring for animals has been a vital source of comfort and strength as we embrace this new chapter. I’m dedicated to creating a clean, calm, and nurturing environment where pets feel safe and cherished. I look forward to providing thoughtful, reliable care for your furry family members while you’re away. Pet care is not just a job for me; it’s a source of inspiration and joy that fits naturally into my lifestyle and supports the balance I’m building in life here in the Santa Cruz Mountains. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or mine, my goal is always to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment tailored to their needs. In Your Home: I follow your routines closely — feeding schedules, exercise, medication, and any special instructions — so your pet experiences as little disruption as possible. I keep their space clean, respect their boundaries, and offer companionship and playtime based on their personality and energy level. I also ensure your home stays tidy and secure while you’re away. In My Home: If your pet stays with me, they’ll be welcomed into a calm, comfortable space where I prioritize consistency and care. I maintain a clean, pet-friendly environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and mental stimulation. I’m attentive to signs of stress or discomfort and adjust accordingly to keep them happy and relaxed. No matter the setting, I treat every animal like family — with patience, respect, and affection — ensuring they feel safe and loved throughout their stay.

“this truly was like Dog Paradise. Wonderful people, and a beautiful environment. We came from out of town, and when we picked up Archer, he was smiling from ear to ear. Sunny sent lots of videos and pictures, and was so welcoming and amazing. I would love to bring my boy back next year too.”

About: Long live dogs! 😊 Whether you’re taking a break, getting work and errands done, or enjoying exploring the state parks, know your family member is safe and sound during their stay with me. Avid dog lover, advocate and owner with over 10 years of experience. Im active, work from home and can accommodate your dog’s needs along your schedule. I’ve had and fostered high intensity breeds and worked through many issues with positive reinforcement training. I’m available for pet sitting and boarding. Taking care of your furry companion/s is priority, having fostered several dogs I know what it takes to help them feel safe and relaxed as possible while they are in a new space. I’m experienced with giving medication, monitoring illness and injuries. and caring for wounds. I’ve had the honor of being with several of my own dogs through end of life and supporting a wide array of medical issues. My dog Ultra Violet is a happy, well trained, sweetie pie Dutch shepherd who gets along with dogs of all sizes and would be most happy to have the company of yours. We typically get out 3-4 times a day for walks, potty breaks and adventures. Depending on your dog’s activity level we also go running or can do shorter walks or use the dog run at our place. We have plenty of space for dogs to run free outside if they are not prone to running away, otherwise leash walks and nearby trails! At my place dogs are allowed on the furniture and beds, but if this is not appropriate for your bud we can make sure your preferred rules are upheld. Enjoy yourself while knowing your friend and family member is safe and having a grand time with me and UV! Work from home flexibility to accommodate your needs. My doggie schedule is typically morning, noon, afternoon and evening walks and/or potty breaks. I love getting outdoors with my dog! Spacious, clean and danger free home away from home. Access to the great outdoors! There are no other animals besides my dog. Animals are our teachers. I adore animals of all kinds with extra fondness of dogs of course! My mission is to provide as much love, kindness, and confidence boosting to the dogs I care for as possible. I love learning how each one communicates, watching them light up and sharing in their joy. I’m experienced in administering medications, and taking care of Doggos from puppies to seniors.

“Janice is a lifesaver!!! We were on our way to the redwood national park and realized that dogs are not allowed on most trails. So we had to find a sitter super last minute and she helped us out! Our dog has separation anxiety and this was the first time he didn’t miss us at all! He had so much fun playing with her dog and the other little dog she was caring for. She is very accommodating and super responsive. She also would send us pictures of our dog throughout the day! I would definitely hire her again and totally recommend her to everyone! She is an angel!”

About: I’ve watched animals for more than half of my life, and I will continue to help those who don’t have enough time to care for their furry friends! I’ve always had pets, just a part of the daily routine. Helps me get out of bed in the morning, and helps to go to sleep. If brought to my home, I have plenty of room for them to explore and play around in. But I rather be in the comfort of the animals own home, a place they feel safe.
