Doggy Day Care in Soquel

“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.”

Medina S.

“Jenna was able to take in my dog last minute, you can really tell she loves dogs. She updated me and sent pictures of my girl while she was staying with them! I would definitely recommend and would book again. ❤️”

“Nancy was a dream come true. Our puppy wasn’t feeling well when we dropped her off and Nancy welcomed her with open arms and kept us updated throughout the day. I felt like our dog was in the best hands possible to take care of her when we couldn’t.”

“Dave and Shannon kept me updated with messages and photos, I will definitely use them again. They took great care of our dogs”

Sandra T.

“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!”

“Amber and her adorable son took amazing care of 6lb senior Sophie! Great communication before and during the stay. I wasn't sure how Sophie would adjust but Amber has the magic touch and all went incredibly well. I'd definitely book with Amber again!”

“I am over the moon about Daisy's full-day stay with Shannon and her family! I knew that Daisy had a great day because she fell fast asleep on the way home, and while she was happy to see me at pick-up, I could also tell she really liked her hosts. She went back and forth greeting me and going back to Shannon or her husband to get her head scratched; there was big tail wagging going on there! Shannon is certainly knowledgeable and experienced in caring for dogs, responsible, kept my pup safe, and supported Daisy's quirks and needs. She and her family followed my requests and instructions perfectly. Shannon sent pictures, which my husband and I so appreciated, and was responsive and clear in all her communications. She was flexible when I requested a time change for drop off and was fine when I wanted to come a bit earlier than scheduled for pick up. Daisy will be very excited, and I will be very happy & confident leaving her again with Shannon ~ I highly recommend her to care for your pet! You get her and her wonderful family!”

“Mariah took such good care of my pup! She had great communication and sent so many cute pictures throughout the day. Wrangler came home happy and tired in the best way I would definitely trust her watching him again (:”

“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: 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.

“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! :)”

“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!”

Jacqueline K.

“Built trust with my spicy chihuahua who escaped his harness and collar and got them back on by the end of the day. Thank you Kayla for communicating and being flexible!”

“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”

“My dog had a great time with Shane for 3 consecutive days of doggy daycare during a couple long work days. He was able to play in the backyard all day and seemed happy and tired every evening.”
