Doggy Day Care in Shady Dell

“Chicken loves daycare!!! Blake is so nice & communicative. Chicken always comes back so tuckered out and he loves playing with all his friends. I get fun photo updates during the day. Will definitely be using Playful Pups again!”

“Shelly has been taking care of my 6 month old lab pup for a few weeks now. She has an excellent facility, including some air conditioned stalls for resting during hot summer days. She does a superb job caring for my pup and even helps with some of her behavioral training. I greatly appreciate her efforts and the helpful advice she’s given. I highly recommend Shelly if you’re looking for someone to care for your 4-legged family member.”

“Alex takes such great care of our high-energy puppy. We have tried a few other Rover’s, but Alex is by far the best fit for our little dude! He has great communication, has been really flexible with our schedule, and really patient with our puppy. We will be using him as our go-to from now on! I can’t recommend him enough.”

“We are so happy we found, Regina! She took excellent care of our little guy, Enzo, who cannot be left alone. We also had some complicated logistics of handoffs between dog sitters, and Regina was a pro; communicative, prompt, detail oriented. What a savior. Thank you, Regina!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover, having cats growing up and later volunteering with dogs at rescue orgs. My time as a training class assistant for Puppy Manners and New Dog Basics at the San Francisco SPCA gave me valuable skills in positive reinforcement training, socialization, and handling dogs of all temperaments. Beyond dogs and cats, I also have experience with horses, having owned and leased several. I’m comfortable with feeding, turnout, mucking stalls, brushing, and general equine care, making me a well-rounded caregiver for multi-pet households. What sets me apart is my ability to care for pets at all life stages—from energetic puppies learning the ropes to senior pets needing extra patience and comfort. Whether it’s structured walks, reinforcing good manners, or providing a calm and loving presence, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique needs. With a deep understanding of pet behavior across species and a passion for ensuring their happiness and well-being, I go beyond basic care to provide engaging, enriching, and compassionate pet companionship. After our Husky mix’s TPLO surgery in Fall 2024, I’ve decided to make pet care my main focus. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and this shift allows me to dedicate my time and energy to providing top-quality care for pets in my community. With a flexible schedule, I’m available for daily walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and customized care based on each pet’s needs. Whether it’s a midday walk, feeding and playtime, or extra TLC for pets recovering from surgery, I tailor my services to fit both routine and special care requirements. My experience with dogs, cats, and even horses means I’m comfortable handling a variety of schedules—from structured training sessions to free-spirited outdoor adventures. No matter the time of day, I ensure pets get the attention, exercise, and companionship they deserve. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or my clients’ homes. At my home, we have a fully fenced yard, providing a secure and spacious area for dogs to play and explore. Your pup will also have built-in companionship with our two friendly dogs, ensuring plenty of socialization and fun. For exercise and enrichment, we have scenic trails nearby, perfect for peaceful walks in the woods—giving dogs a chance to sniff, explore, and enjoy the great outdoors. In my clients’ homes, I respect each pet’s unique routine and environment, providing attentive, reliable, and compassionate care. Whether it’s reinforcing training, maintaining feeding schedules, or ensuring a calm presence while you're away, I treat every pet like they’re my own. No matter the setting, I focus on creating a safe, stress-free, and enriching experience for pets—so you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands.

“Blessed finally someone I can trust Eileen and Rich found me on Rover. They were looking for a sitter for there pup as their beloved long time sitter had moved. Rich came to my place with piglet for meet and greet with my 3 smalls . He shared with me how much anxiety he was having trying to find the exact right fit for piglet. I have 3 dogs. Doyle is my fear dog (He has come ALONG ways in 5 short years. He immediately ran up to Rich and put his feet on his legs so he could pet him. They watched the pack for me one day and it was the first time I had ever left Doyle with anyone and even tho I was a little nervous that Doyle would try to escape to come find me I knew they would be watching him like a hawk. Just a short time later I received a photo from Eileen comfy on the couch with all the dogs (even Doyle!) Laying on her and snuggling. But honestly, I already knew on my heart that they would care and lovey dogs almost as much me by the number of dog sitters they interviewed and even coming back for a second meet and greet just to make sure everything was going to work out. I will also add that piglet is very well behaved has excellent social skills , and over all just a well balanced dog. Says a lot about her parents! I know once you see how well cared and loved your pet is there you will not to leave them with anyone else! I'm so grateful our paths crossed and I can now feel comfortable leaving my littles when momma needs some me time! Thank you Rich and Eileen!”

“Terri and Mario were so kind and welcoming to our pup. Their goldens were also the best play buddies! Luna was absolutely pooped when we got home, thank you so much for taking great care of our girl!”

“Veronica is absolutely amazing! She was able to accommodate my fur babies on short notice, which I truly appreciated. Throughout the day, she kept me updated with photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. Her communication was phenomenal, and she was incredibly sweet and caring. When I picked up my pups, they were happily tired—which tells me they had a full day of fun and play. I couldn’t ask for a better experience. Highly recommend!”

“Alex is fantastic! We needed a last minute sitter for our rescued Shepherd, and this being our first time leaving her with someone else, we were a little unsure how it would go. Alex was accommodating, communicative and just the perfect fit. Sascha had a blast with walks and playing with the neighbor dog, and we are relieved to find someone in our area that loves and cares for dogs just as much as we do. We are so grateful to Alex for welcoming our knucklehead into her home and will use her services again!”
