Doggy Day Care in Running Springs

“Tucker had a great stay with Maribel yesterday while I was getting surgery! Maribel insisted he reach a state of calm upon arrival before he was allowed to enter her premises, as well as before being returned to me. She’s had some excellent training handling dogs and she doesn’t tolerate rude, impulsive behavior.”

“Patti did it again, gave my doggie a safe and happy place to stay. When we got there, Sophie ran right up to Patti, no gestation at all. She remembered her and obviously was happy to be there. Patti is close to all my doctor offices there in Loma Linda, so she's in a perfect location for me when I need her. Thank you Patti!”

“Hugh and Mary are AWESOME. My fiancé and I had anxiety about leaving our little girl, but she was so well taken care of and she had a BLAST. Our Day-Z can a lot of anxiety when she’s not in the best environment, but she didn't have any here! Hugh and Mary were accommodating, communicative, and so welcoming - the ideal doggy sitters. They even gave us some parting gifts! Thank you for the love and the goodies, Hugh and Mary!”

“We are delighted with our dog’s afternoon stay with Marissa! She was quick to respond, her communication was excellent before, during, and after our visit, and we enjoyed her photo updates. Marissa’s place had lots of shady grass and paths, and our dog got two walks and several potty breaks in the short time she was there. We’ll happily have Marissa watch Daisy again!”

“We had the best experience with Josh. Not only did we get updates and pictures through the day, Josh even updated me on how she did in the crate. Beautiful property, with so much space for playtime. Josh cares for your pet as if they were his own. We can't say enough about how great the day was. You won't go wrong having your baby stay with Josh! PS your pup is going to sleep like a log after a day with Josh.”

“Alexis was an absolutely amazing caretaker I would 100% book with her again and probably will do so in the near future. The amount of care, dedication and attention left me feeling so relieved that my two pups were in great hands even if one of my pups was a bit skittish and had boundaries with strangers it was clear he was able to relax in her home. She took plenty of pictures and her notes were so detailed I felt completely sure that they were having a great time. They had plenty of long walk’s, enrichment activities and made sure they were fed well and full. Its clear she has a great skill set that allows her to understand dog behavior exceptionally that makes her perfect for taking care of your pups, I was able to learn even more about my pups during their stay with Alexis. Cant recommend enough!”

About: Caring for animals is my calling in life! I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Zoology from Humboldt State University. As a dedicated veterinary technician and docent for the Big Bear Zoo, I have the privilege of providing exceptional care to a wide range of animals and pets. My commitment to the wellbeing of all animals goes beyond just a job; it's a lifelong passion! I'm currently working full time at an emergency animal hospital off the mountain. However, I work double shifts to allow myself some days off during the week and look forward to making some new furry friends! Caring for pets in a client's home is a responsibility I take very seriously, ensuring their comfort, safety, and happiness while their owners are away. My approach to in-home pet care includes: Meet and Greet: I begin by meeting with the client and their pet(s) to establish a rapport and understand their specific needs and routines. Feeding and Hydration: I adhere to the provided feeding schedule, ensuring that pets receive the right amount of food and fresh water. Special dietary requirements are noted and followed diligently. Exercise and Play: Regular exercise and playtime are essential for a pet's physical and mental well-being. I engage in activities tailored to the pet's age and energy level, whether it's a spirited game of fetch or a leisurely walk. Medication and Health Monitoring: If the pet requires medication or has specific health needs, I administer treatments as prescribed by the veterinarian. I also monitor their overall health and report any concerns to the owner promptly. Grooming and Cleanliness: Maintaining the pet's cleanliness is a priority. I provide necessary grooming, including brushing, bathing, and litter box cleaning, to ensure they are comfortable and hygienic. Affection and Companionship: Pets often thrive on companionship and affection. I spend quality time with them, offering cuddles, petting, and positive reinforcement to alleviate any separation anxiety. Security and Home Care: I maintain the security of the client's home by ensuring all doors and windows are locked, and I handle any mail or packages. This gives clients peace of mind while they're away. Daily Updates: Regular communication with the client is crucial. I provide daily updates through texts, photos, or videos to keep them informed about their pet's well-being and activities. Emergency Preparedness: I am trained, experienced and prepared for unexpected situations, including medical emergencies. I have contact information for the client's preferred veterinarian and am beyond qualified for basic pet first aid. Respect for Property: I treat the client's home with the utmost respect, leaving it as clean and tidy as I found it. Overall, my goal is to create a stress-free and nurturing environment for pets in the client's home, allowing them to thrive in their familiar surroundings while their owners are away.

About: Hi, I'm Rylee! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, birds, and kittens. With over 10 years of experience caring for pets and more than 5 years of training and pet sitting for friends and neighbors. I’ve developed a deep understanding of animal care, especially when it comes to dogs. I specialize in dog behavior and body language, including recognizing signs of stress or overstimulation. I’ve trained puppies and have extensive experience with puppy sitting, helping them feel safe, stimulated, and supported as they grow. I’m passionate about giving pets the highest quality of care. I’ve completed multiple courses in dog training, body language, and nutrition to ensure I’m educated when it comes to caring for dogs. I prioritize dogs' well-being with mental and physical stimulation. In addition to dogs, I also have experience caring for cats and kittens. I have a 4-year-old cat and a 4-month-old kitten that I have raised since they were newborns. I provide a safe environment for your cat, and I understand that some cats need their space. Whether you need drop-in visits, overnight staying, or walking, you can be at ease that your pet will be in great, trustworthy hands. I am dedicated to making your pet feel safe, respected, and treated like family. I’m excited to meet your furry friend and provide the thoughtful, attentive care they deserve. My schedule is very flexible! I'm currently looking for a part-time job but in the meantime I have lots of time to care for your pets. In My Home: I will follow your pets same routine like walking and feeding but just in my own home. My house is fairly small so I won't be able to board more than one pet at a time. I have a deck that they can sit outside and sunbathe (with supervision). I will provide them with toys and puzzle games. I have a small dog named Rocky, at first he barks at other dogs but once he gets to know them he enjoys their company. I also have two cats that aren't fond of new visitors so I will keep them separated from your pets. In Your Home: I treat your space with the utmost respect and maintain your pet’s routine so they feel safe and at ease. I make sure doors and gates are securely closed, and I always clean up after feedings, potty breaks, and playtime. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you feel confident while you’re away.

“Kaitlynn met Teddy for the first time and really treated him like she knew him. We were heading on a trip with some friends close by and needed someone to watch or dog for a few hours and we're so glad Kaitlynn was able to watch him and we wouldn't have had a better choice for a sitter. If you are in need of a sitter I highly suggest her :)”
