Doggy Day Care in Shangri La Estates

“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.”

“Yajaira is amazing, communicative and wonderful. She would give us updates with messages and pictures. She made it feel very safe to have our dog in her care. Would highly recommend.”

“We were grateful for the time Jenna spent with Agent 86. They went on a walk together and helped us out while we were visiting the area. I think 86 really enjoyed it.”

“Nancy and her family were simply amazing with Toby! She sent pictures regularly and I could see from Toby’s smile how much fun he was having. I felt very comfortable leaving Toby in her care and highly recommend her. Thank you so much Nancy.”

“Nieves is such a nice person! Our dog Buddy doesn’t usually warm up to people very quickly, but he was best buds with Nieves from the get go. She and her grandkids got along with Buddy like Mac and cheese. We really appreciated her taking him for the day so that we could go for a long mountain bike ride. We highly recommend her to any dog parent! She’s fantastic!”

“Yu and her family are AMAZING!! I feel so lucky she lives so close and will go to her for all dog care! They went above and beyond , taking Augie to the beach and park and sending lots of update photos, he had so much fun and i never worried about him, knowing he was in great hands. Highly recommend! :)”

“Marina is so sweet and mellow, just the perfect energy. We came into town for a graduation and needed to have 15 year old Chili cared for during the non-pet friendly times. We didn't worry once. Marina took Chili for beach walks and sent pictures. She was great! Absolutely booking if we come back to Santa Cruz. You guys are lucky to have someone so considerate locally!”

“Lauren was a great sitter and took great care of my boy! She sent me updates throughout the day and I could tell he was a happy dog. Highly recommend!”

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.

“Kayla was great with Pan! I left him with her 4 days in a row and he was super excited to see her by day 2. She was enthusiastic, consistent with pictures, and clearly enjoyed him. Would hire again!!”

About: Hi All! Thank you so much for thinking of me for your pet care needs! About Me :~) I absolutely love dogs! And I enjoy seeing the delight of pet-parents as I connect with and love up their furbabies like family. I have experience with various breeds including Border Collies, Rhodesian Ridgebacks, Goldens, Labs, Terriers, and love caring for them all. I have some puppy training experience and am happy to continue with the training routines you are currently working on. I also love caring for older dogs and am comfortable administering medicine. I enjoy being active, going for walks, throwing the ball, and supporting their needs. I will communicate with you regularly while you are away. Please feel free to talk to me about any questions or concerns you have. Look forward to talking more! I have a flexible schedule and usually go to my office for about 4 hours per day, so have time go check in on the pets. I am conscientious about caring for my client’s home and leave them clean. I stick to their schedules and spend plenty of time playing with and pampering them. I tend to be out of the house for a few hours on MWF, though have a generally flexible schedule and can support your pet's needs. I keep the rules you have set in place with your animals around what they are and aren’t allowed to do, and care for your house like my own.

“Nohemi is awesome!! She cared for our 2 fur babies while we were in town vacationing. Not only did she have great communication,she took them to run free in a fenced space and sent photos. Highly recommend!!”

“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”

“Be honest Guillermo is the first rover I will leave review for. He's very patient to the puppy. My dog is a young eskimo who is very hyper everyday. Guillermo brought my dog for several walks everyday and send me pictures. My dog came back home tired lol. He's very responsible as well! My dog learn several tricks from him. He's the best rover I've met. I go travel a lot. I will definitely come back if I travel.”

“Natalia is reliable, responsive and a great host. She is extremely flexible, loving and kind. My pup Sam had a wonderful time. She made him feel right at home and took great care of him. Looking forward to our next stay. Thanks Natalia and Chester!”

“Arrow had a great time with Anna and her pup! She took the time to meet with him at a dog park she thought would be a good space for them and when they went there during their play date, they had a great time. Our dog needs some extra care sometimes, as he can be very high energy and over excited with other dogs and in new situations, and we appreciate Anna's calm demeanor and flexible attitude with him! I fully recommend her <3”
