Doggy Day Care in Salinas

“Susan is amazing! A little background on me, I got my baby Kyro as an ESA, and he’s really been that for me. When I’m away from him I suffer from really bad separation anxiety, meaning I can’t stop thinking of what he might be doing and I even get extremely emotional to the point I can’t stop crying. I recently went to Vegas to visit my brother and I’m usually able to fly with Kyro since he’s my ESA, but because of the whole pandemic I thought it would be best for Kyro to stay with a sitter back home. The entire trip I was crying, I was just an emotional wreck and I just thinking about how Kyro was doing. The sitter wasn’t being responsive to me, I would ask for pictures and would get a reply 2 days later. It was just a bad experience for both of us, it made my anxiety worst and caused me to come back early. When I came back I found out he was being caged during his entire stay despite me telling the sitter that he didn't do good in cages. I found out because he even hurt himself trying to get out of the cage. Well after that I was obviously very skeptical leaving him with another sitter but after Kyro’s stay with Susan I have no doubt in my mind that Kyro and I will be going back with her. As soon as Kyro got home from Susan’s he went straight to sleep, he was worn out from all the playing her and her dog. I highly recommend her! She sent out pictures of Kyro’s stay which is always a plus. We did a meet and greet prior to the sitting and she made me feel comfortable from the get go. She explained her routine and introduced us to her pets, she also showed us her backyard and let me tell you my Kyro loved it! There’s plenty of space and grass area. Something that I was worried about was Kyro’s meals, he only does raw food and she was nice enough to accommodate to his needs and provide the attention he requires during his meal time. Also she’s very responsive through messages which always makes it easier on someone with my situation. Thanks Susan, not only are you helping me take care of Kyro but you’re also helping me ease my separation anxiety I have with him.”

“I contacted Carol for the first time In Carmel by the Sea, CA. I needed my Boxer taken care of all day and was stressed how to find someone I can trust . I have to say that Carol made me at ease when we spoke when she picked him up and her generous videos what my dog was doing, the walks etc. no doubt, Carol is on my address book of a must to take care of my dog. Love it! Thank you Carol”

“I am so grateful that I found Gabriel to watch my dog Leonora while I am at work/out of town. If you're looking for a responsible, knowledgeable and flexible dog sitter, look no further. I am a physician with an unpredictable schedule but Gabriel goes out of his way to meet our needs. I adopted my dog a few months ago. She was originally put up for adoption because she kept climbing over fences. Gabriel fixed his house/yard specifically for Leonora so that she could still play with other dogs without having to worry about her escaping. He also has a lot of experience working with dogs and I have found his recommendations very helpful. When I go to work I know that my dog is in the best of hands.”

About: I've been surrounded by dogs my whole life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I recently raised my own puppy from 8 weeks old, so I’m very familiar with the time, patience, and energy it takes to train and care for young dogs. I also have experience doing pet check-ins and babysitting for families back in Texas, which helped me build strong, dependable habits when it comes to caring for others’ pets and homes. I’ve just graduated from college and recently moved to Monterey, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pet's needs. Whether it’s giving a puppy some structure, keeping your dog company during the day, or simply making sure everything’s okay while you’re away—I’m here to help, with genuine care and attention Pet care is a natural part of my daily life. Since I have my own young dog, I’m already in a consistent routine that includes walks, playtime, feeding, and training. My flexible schedule allows me to easily fit in pet sitting, drop-ins, or extended stays throughout the week. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, their safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs they may have—so they feel secure and at ease while you're away. I’m attentive to details like feeding schedules, medication instructions, and favorite toys or habits, and I always make sure pets are in a clean, calm, and stress-free environment. In your home, I respect your space as if it were my own and follow all guidelines you leave for your pet’s care. I know how important it is to feel confident when someone else is looking after your furry family member, so I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins to keep you connected. At my place, pets have a safe, cozy space and are never left unsupervised.

About: I've taken care of all different sizes of dogs since I was 14! From King Charles Cavaliers, Border Collies, Golden Retrievers, to chihuahuas! I am home all day and able to take them on potty breaks as needed :) I'm currently on summer break from school so I am able to give your pets all the love and attention they may need! I'm not working over the summer so pet care will be my full priority! Our apartment complex has a fenced-dog park and we have a very sweet and friendly golden retriever puppy to give your pet company! We also live in a very safe neighborhood to take your pet on walks!

“Chelsea and her sweet girl, Stella, were great. I was grateful for the frequent picture updates of Diesel and could tell he was having a blast. Our pups got along well and were fast friends. Highly recommend Chelsea and will book again in the future!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child, having had 3 dogs growing up, and now have my own dog, a Mini Schnauzer. I believe in positive training and care, letting our best furry friends live their best lives while with us, so there will be lots of naps, play and even beach time (with your permission of course!) I work from home with my own consultancy business so I have a lot of flexible time to care for your pet. I love spending time with animals and incorporate that with my daily activities, I can give them several short walks and play, and also plenty of naps and rest. I have a small side yard and have access to a small dog park nearby our community. I have one friendly dog but can separate him if needed, ie your pet can be downstairs and my dog can be upstairs. If you prefer your dog to be crated, I can do that as well.

“Max had a great time at Mike’s. Mike and his wife were very communicative throughout the day. Max is a pandemic pup with some quirks but they were very patient with him and took him on a walk to ease some of his anxiety. We are very happy to have found a safe space for Max while visiting California.”

“So friendly and helpful with an amazing family that kept my pups happy! Definitely going back to her on my next visit back !”

About: I live in a very dog friendly community. Across the street from my house is a big grass area for the dogs to play. Down the street is a dog park and a baseball field to play fetch and for the dogs to have time to just be dogs. Because I live so close to old Fort Ord there are numerous trails within walking distance from my house to take the pups on an adventure. During the week I work at a barn where I get to bring the dogs to work with me, so your pet would be with me 24/7. My dogs are extremely friendly and I’ve fostered dogs in the past. After work I usually take my dogs to the beach or on a long walk. They get fed am and pm and will be flexible to your dogs needs. They are more than welcome to sleep on the bed with me or use one of the two massive dog beds I have. Let’s not forget about the abundance of dog toys I have to keep everyone happy!!! I work at a barn so the dogs come to work with me. While working, they get free range of the office. Throughout the day I take them out numerous times for potty brakes. After work we go on a long walk or play ball down the street from from my house in the field. I have two small backyards the dogs have full access to. My larger pup doesn’t like to use the yards to go potty so I take him on routine walks to do his business. Again, I do work, but the pups always come with me so they are never left home alone.

“I highly recommend Maria. She and her husband are such great sitters, Caramello had a good time with their lovely dogs, she was phenomenal in keeping me updated on Caramello. She’s very responsive and friendly.”

“Jacqueline watched our pup for a few hours while we passed through town so we could visit the aquarium. Zulie was in high spirits when we picked her up and slept the whole way home. We are very appreciative of Jacqueline's accommodation on short notice.”

About: I've taken care of dogs since 2020, from small to big. I can say that I am very reliable and responsible when it comes to dogs as I see them as children. I have owned a Rottweiler, Bitbulls, Chihuahua, and a Maltese. I can take any dog in as long as they aren't too aggressive. I can handle anxious dogs as I have one myself I have learned to become more soft and not have people or other dogs stimulate them too much. I'm working part-time and only work on weekends so I should have time to take care of dogs almost any day. I will be available every day of the week. I am flexible with time so you can message me about that and we can sort that out together. I will not be able to take in pets at my home since I do have a small dog and he stays in my room, (he's a very anxious dog so I wouldn't be able to have pets around him.) As for taking care of pets in your home give me the instructions and I can follow them accordingly. I'm fine with having to give the dogs baths myself or taking them on walks or just playing with them!

“Jaqueline was kind and accommodating and my dogs felt very comfortable with her. She took them on a walk in a nice park area and they were relaxed and happy when I arrived to pick them up. Well done!”

“Good communication. Would book again!”
