Dog Boarding South Cape

About: I am a owner of two maltese dogs and understand the hard work and care necessary for keeping a pet. I am a trusted and involved pet sitter in my family/friend circle. From Lovebirds to active Huskies, I have looked after them all! The key characteristics that I am qualified with are patience, attentiveness, communication, and attention to detail. Additionally, I am a second year Animal Science major at UC Davis. Many of my courses involve hands-on animal handling and husbandry knowledge. I understand that pets are family, and it's essential they feel comfortable and secure in their environment. Please feel free to message me if you’re interested in my pet sitting or dog walking services. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I'm currently a full time student. I work my schedule around classes each quarter. During this Fall quarter I am primarily available Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday at 4:00pm. I am also available for mornings on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 7am - 12pm. Weekends I am flexible and open! My apartment is a peaceful, pet-friendly haven! We’re right next to green spaces and the arboretum, making it ideal for long, relaxing walks. Although I share the space with three roommates, we are all dog lovers who maintain a quiet, calm lifestyle. For in-home pet sitting I aim to keep your pet relaxed in their familiar space. I maintain a low-key routine, ensuring your home stays quiet and your pet receives dedicated attention, regular outdoor exercise, and consistent care. Your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, and a relaxing place to feel right at home.

“This was Michelle’s first visit with my busy kitty crew, and I felt comfortable, and knew they were In Good hands, the moment that I met with her. This was also a last minute booking, and Michelle was gracious and accommodating. Thank you for the care, and for making a last minute trip, possible for our family, Michelle.”

“We have used Marya a few time for daycare. This is the first time we've had to leave town for a few days and Mochi has ever done boarding. He came home happy and healthy as usual.”

About: I am experienced with caring for all kinds of dogs. I have access to many dog parks and walk them up to 5 times a day. I adapt to the pet’s needs to give them the best care. I have a golden retriever (6 mo.) and a labradoodle (10 yrs). My golden (Sunny) is super friendly and loves to make friends! I ensure that your pet’s needs are met and they have the highest form of care. I’m a junior at the University of California, Davis. I have a flexible schedule with my course work that allows me to be fully engaged with the dogs in my care. I live in a gated community so pets can’t easily get out. I take my puppy on long walks at the Davis Arboretum and have a dog park where I live which ensures they are getting their exercise and playtime. My apartment is clean for health safety. If I am staying at the owner’s home, I will apply the owner’s directions.

“Annie was great with my nervous dog. Annie responded quickly to my messages as we prepared for my dog's stay with her, and sent me pictures while my dog was in her care.”

About: I have taken care of about 100 individual dogs staying overnight at my home. Their age ranges from 4 months to 16 years. Their weight ranges from 10 to 130 lbs. I make every walk a meditation for me and the dog(s). I work on multiple part-time jobs from home with a flexible schedule throughout the week. I walk dogs four times per day if the weather allows. I fulfill dogs’ needs for physical and mental exercise by walking. I have a fenced yard for potty breaks. I have two kids to keep your pets accompanied. I have the knowledge for pet caring given my extensive experience.

“I haven’t left Kaia with a sitter in years. I originally was so nervous to leave her. Mya relieved my worries with daily messages and pictures of her and Kaia. I was very pleased!”

About: I have been raised with dogs cats hamsters tortoises since I was little. As a kid I have pet sat for many of my neighbors animals. During my freshmen year at Uni I worked as a vet tech. Currently I am a senior at UC Davis and am available to care for your pets overnight before classes, in between classes, and after classes. I can administer medication orally sublingual and injection wise. I have given inhalers and eye drops many times. On another note I will not be taking your dogs to dog parks anything can occur as there are dogs of various temperaments. Dogs will not be off-leash when being walked and while walking, I tend to avoid people or other dog interactions to maintain safety, regardless of how sweet or kind your dog or the other dogs are. Safety first always! :) Aside from that I will always throw frisbees, toys, and even tustle with overly energetic puppies/dogs in your home/backyard if thats how they like to have fun. A tired dog is a happy dog! I am a student at UC Davis but after lectures I will likely be in the house most of the time if your dog has separation anxiety. I prefer to be a recluse at the house especially since I will be studying for the MCAT with your pups or kitties of course. Yayyy :) Your dog will be cared for in a secure and welcoming environment. I always allow the doggos/kitties to approach me at their own time and space to ensure we start off at the right foot. For me safety is paramount so even if your dog is social with other dogs or humans on walks I will likely be avoiding approaching to ensure that everyone is safe/happy. I also truly believe that dogs and cats that are social or more high in energy need mental stimulation so I will be providing play time or attention to those furry companions that need so. On the other hand kitties or pups that are more skittish I will respect their personal space and make sure they are receiving the food, time outside, medication or other related needs they may have :)

“She is great! She kept us updated all the time with funny and beautiful photos of our boy! Definitely recommend!”

About: I’ve been dog walking and pet sitting for 12+ years, with a strong background in rescue, behavior, and training. Since 2023, I’ve fostered dogs through Front Street Animal Shelter, including dogs with significant behavioral challenges. I also train my own rescue dog in sports and have experience working through reactivity, separation anxiety, and lack of socialization. I additionally shadow professional dog trainers twice a week to continue expanding my skills. I’m comfortable working with dogs of all temperaments and am committed to providing safe, structured, and individualized care! I often work from home and enjoy going on hikes in my free time (with the dogs of course)! Specifics will vary dog by dog, but I make sure everyone is happy! Please message me for more details! I am versed in pet dog training, and place an emphasis on safety for everyone, including consistent reading of canine body language, proactive safety measures, and attention to detail. I’ve cared for many dogs with varying needs, so I am easily adaptable but safety always remains a priority. For safety reasons, dogs MUST be comfortable being crated at night and for 4-6 hr periods while I am away/unable to supervise.

“Nayzeth took amazing care of my dog Elvis! She texted me pictures and updates every day! I could tell that she. really cared about my dog and wanted to do anything she could to make sure that he was happy while he was with them. I highly recommend Nayzeth when considering a sitter for your pets!!”

About: I’m a UC Davis Animal Science student who has always loved animals and enjoys caring for them. I have hands-on experience with my own Toy Poodle and have learned professional pet care through veterinary assistant experience and shadowing at veterinary clinic. These experiences have helped me better understand animal behavior, safe handling, and the importance of providing attentive care. I keep my calendar updated and always make time for walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention. I’ll communicate with you throughout your pet’s stay and provide regular photo updates so you can feel confident they’re in good hands. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Through my veterinary hospital shadowing experience, I’ve learned to recognize changes in pets’ behavior and handle them calmly and carefully. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), exercise, and routines.

“I highly recommend Pandi and her husband Tim. They both work from home and we’re very attentive to the details of my dog’s care. Their two school-age kids and little dog Scruffy made for a fun, active stay. I appreciated the photos and updates too.”

Jill Y.

“I couldn’t be happier with the care Megan and her husband gave my pup, Dewey, while I was away on business. From the start, they made me feel completely at ease knowing he was in such good hands. I could tell Dewey had the best time, when I came to pick him up, he didn’t even want to leave! It’s clear they treated him like part of their family, and that means the world to me. I highly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving, and reliable sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”

“Rosalinda was immediately receptive and responsive to my last minute request for dog sitting. I made the request 1hr before I needed to head out of town and she approved it! Relief! I also loved the my dog Tilly was able to play with 3 other dogs while she stayed with Rosalinda. And Rosalinda spent a few minutes with Tilly and I before I left to ensure Tilly and I felt settled in. Thank you, Rosalinda!”
