Doggy Day Care in Soquel

About: Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. I have owned and cared for two dogs, including one who lived to the remarkable age of 22. My current dog is 15 years old and still acts like a puppy, giving me valuable experience caring for both senior dogs and energetic companions. In addition to caring for my own dogs, I have been dog sitting for friends and neighbors since I was around 13 or 14 years old. Over the years, I have gained experience with dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and maintaining their regular routines while their owners are away. I understand that every dog is unique and deserves patient, attentive care. Whether your dog loves outdoor adventures, playtime, or simply relaxing with a companion, I will make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. My goal is to provide dependable care and give pet owners peace of mind knowing their dogs are in good hands. I am currently a part time surf instructor. My schedule varies week to week depending on how many lessons are booked. That means I will have lots of time to hang out and take care of your dogs! I live in a nice neighborhood with a spacious backyard that is fenced in with a mix of astroturf and small rocks. I also have a shed in the back where the dogs can hang out when it is either raining or when it is super hot outside. It is a perfect hangout spot for your dogs to enjoy!

“Nancy definitely receives a 6 star review! Loved Nancy and her pups at the meet and greet before I dropped my puppy. I received pictures of my puppy, Hali'a, throughout the day which gave me piece of mind that she was happy. When I picked her up after 12 hours, Hali'a was pretty tired . A pooped puppy is a good puppy. We will definitely be seeing Nancy again❣️”

About: Experienced dog owner since childhood, experienced with dogs of all types and personalities. Your pup will get several daily walks and access to a secure backyard. I work from home, taking frequent walks and breaking to play and snuggle. I work remote taking frequent walks with Toby (My 17lb terrier) throughout the day. Our backyard offers a sunny, warm patio perfect for lounging, as well as ample space for Toby and any visiting pets to enjoy a game of fetch. Our home is designed with our furry companions in mind. Toby and guests have full access, especially cozy spots on the couch and bed. The thoughtful layout, with distinct rooms, facilitates separate feeding times and private retreats when needed. A large assortment of toys encourages play, and fresh water and treats are always within reach. Toby especially enjoys sunny afternoons on the patio and invigorating games of fetch in our secure, fully fenced yard, with plenty of room for lounging and play. Toby is a sweet, excellently socialized and confident pup. He is used to canine and human guests, and shares his space, toys and food willingly. If your baby loves to play, Toby will keep them occupied for hours.

“Last minute (same day) request was accepted by Kate. Sent pictures throughout the day. Our dog came home fresh and happy. Afternoon walk. Highly recommended.”
