Doggy Day Care in Rob Roy Junction

“Sandy really loved her time with Denise and Quarky. She tried to run back into Denise's house as we were putting her in the car, so we'll definitely have to book again, the next time we're in Santa Cruz. Denise was easy to communicate with and drop-off/pick-up was a breeze.”

“Nieves was incredibly sweet and took excellent care of my dog. My pup got to play with her kids and they took her on a walk to the beach. I really appreciated the updates and the fantastic pictures she shared throughout the day. I will definitely be using her services again in the future. Highly recommended!”

“Karen has kept my newly adopted shelter terrier dog numerous times and I can’t say enough for her care for him. He was reticent at first without me, but after the very first visit, anytime we drive near her street he starts jumping all over the car to get out to see her. She gives him lots of exercise and love, and herself is a very warm and likeable person. I recommend her highly.”

About: With 4 years of hands-on experience in pet care, I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I’m certified in dog CPR and have multiple dog handling certifications, which means your pup’s safety is always my top priority. I’ve cared for energetic puppies who need structure and training, as well as senior dogs who require patience, gentle handling, and extra love. I treat every dog like my own, with respect, understanding, and lots of belly rubs! Pet care is a big part of my everyday life. I currently work part-time as a kennel technician, so I’m already caring for animals daily feeding, cleaning, monitoring health, administering meds, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. Outside of that, I make time each week for pet sitting and drop-in visits. My schedule fluctuates so I always try to work my schedule around yours! Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I always focus on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment that feels familiar and stress-free for them. In clients' homes, I stick closely to your pet’s routine regarding feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication, and any house rules you’ve set. I make sure they feel comfortable in their own space while keeping you updated with photos and messages. When pets stay with me, they get a clean, pet-friendly space with plenty of attention, enrichment, and quiet time to relax. I limit the number of animals I care for at once to make sure each one gets the time and care they deserve. Your pet's comfort and safety always come first, no matter where they are.

“Jenna and her family took great care of Dudley for his first day with her. He really liked their dog and seemed to warm up to everyone quickly. He was nice and tired from lots of play and he even got a nice brush and fluff! I appreciated them taking him very last minute - we will definitely rebook! Thank you again!”

“We can't thank you enough, Yajaira, for watching our fur baby. Thank you for being responsive and for sending pictures of Koda throughout his stay. He had a blast.”

About: I am attending school at UCSC for legal studies and have a robust knowledge of dog parks, dog-friendly beaches and trails from Santa Cruz to the City! If you’d like to socialise your dog, you’re in luck because I have a 10-month-old baby 🐾 of my own. We have tons of doggo friends for your pooch to meet if you choose, and no matter what, your dog is getting top-tier handling and care when you trust working with me! If there are behaviours you’d like to work on or would like me to be aware of, please do not hesitate to reach out, and we can discuss them further. I am available for full time pet care and when school resumes come the New Year, I will be available part time + still available to board if needed. There has not been an hour where I have not been in the company of 1 or more dogs since June 2024 I have a fenced yard for the dogs to go potty and run uninhibited. I have a small scale toy operation which means the dogs will have plenty to keep them occupied and if he/she would like to go home with their favourites, we can arrange for that too. I am capable of pickup and drop off as well as supervised visits to the park, creeks, the beach, trails, etc.

“Nancy was the perfect match for my little guy. And her home environment was like little dog heaven on earth. Everything worked out seamlessly. I would definitely rebook with Nancy without hesitation! Many thanks!”

“Bumpy’s first stay with Keren was perfect. He was so excited to see he was going back to her home when we drove up. Bumpy and I had done a meet and greet with Keren and another family, the other family was nice and I could tell they love dogs but Bump didn’t seem to be very comfortable. During our visit he stayed close to me and didn’t do much exploring. He had such a different reaction to Keren and her family, from the minute we walked in her door he was gone, sniffing, exploring, meeting the dog of the house. To see such a marked difference in his reaction made my chose easy, he was letting me know which family he preferred. So to pick him up at the end of his first stay with Keren and find him happy and tired after a trip to the beach and a walk was wonderful. I could tell he had bonded with Keren and I will not hesitate scheduling another visit.”

“Jacob and Leilani had a fun day. He’s a sweet, intelligent guy that has great tips and calm energy. I feel that’s exactly what she needed was that perfect match! I was so glad to find Jacob and that he was available within a day. That is a rarity! He had Leilani run as much as she wanted. She’s super happy! Thanks Rover and Jacob! Leilani’s Dad”

We also have a stream to freshen up in hot days. Plenty of room to play. I’m home based and keep my eyes on the puppies 24/7. No better place to enjoy the outdoors and play with Toby and Finn (both are neutered, and super friendly with other dogs small or big) I’m home based, keep my eyes on my puppies 24/7. I give them lots of playtime and rest. I let them play outside several times a day and I also give them 2 daily long walks, morning and evening I have 15 acres of land, I like to offer them lots of time outside (always supervised). I also walk them inside the property to ensure daily exercise.

“Felt very comfortable leaving Ranger with Carlie - her communication was great. She sent pics and videos of Ranger and he slept the entire drive home. He must have had a great time. Thank you!”

About: Hello my name is Leila I’m 25 years old, and I have experience with dogs and cats for over 10 years. I grew up taking care of my family friends and neighbors pets while they were away or at work. I currently have a husky (mix dingo) who has brought some challenges, patience, more knowledge to learn from into my life which has inspired me to want to train dogs with a variety of different behaviors and even helped manage my families dog business managing activities, walking, feeding & training. It’s my passion to work with animals I enjoy their company and I love connecting and socializing with them to stimulate them and give them the exercise they need which is very important to me and to you. If you are worried about how your pet will do with me you won’t have to worry about that because with me they will get everything they need even learn some tricks and side training if interested! Staying active, happy and patient is key to creating a healthy environment around us all. I provide the most loving care and perseverance while you are away. Any concerns/ Questions?

I’m working Monday -Friday full time I walk the dogs in the morning and back home by 3p. If you live very close to me I can make it possible during the week! I have a fenced patio where there’s enough space along with my husky who will keep your furry one accompanied and have access to go inside home. I can definitely crate your dog if needed as well. My dog is very friendly with small breeds she grew up with chihuahas so she thinks she’s one too.. lol Larger dogs it takes her a minute to get comfortable she can be territorial. Although when I board other dogs I crate her.

About: I have had a love and passion for all animals since I could walk. I have spent years fostering animals through several rescue organizations and the happiness of my dog and cat is the center of my life. My dog is my best friend and we do almost everything together. I will treat your dog as if he/she were my own. I am currently working part time and making my own schedule which means that I have a lot of flexibility. I can drop in at a moments notice. I have a large, fenced yard and a friendly, playful Labrador. I have the ability to separate or crate animals if needed, but I always keep a close eye on my pets and will do the same for yours.
