Doggy Day Care in Viola

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.

“Cassie is AMAZING! She takes such incredible care of our pup. He has memorized the route to her house and gets so excited every time we pull up, so we know he loves her :) she shows care to the doggos by not only having them physically exercised throughout the day but she also does training and enrichment with them too. We feel so lucky to have found her!”

“The girls had a great time with Alex and his family. I loved feeling that they were well taken care of, Alex sent me text and pictures throughout the day to make me feel comfortable leaving my girls. Alex is very friendly and you can tell he loves what he does. Thank you again for taking such good care of them.”

“Kris is a gracious caregiver who accommodates all of our particular needs. He has the perfect set-up for our challenging pup who doesn't take to unknown people but loves playing with other dogs more than anything. We will be booking again!”

“This was our first time using Rover. We had an event and we connected with Melodie because of her location nearby. Melodie was very quick to respond and suggested a meet and greet prior to the day of the sitting.our little dog met her sweetie and seemed to get along right off the bat. Melody prefers small dogs, which is great for us. She has a nice set up and is very caring and we will use her again!”

“Julie and Barry are an amazing team ... quickly tuning into Tashi's personality and habits. When we came to pick him up, he was so relaxed and comfortable that he greeted us at the door as if we were visitors to his home, with Barry beside him. Clearly he was treated as family.”

About: Although I'm new to Rover I have been dog sitting for years, now that I'm retired and have too much free time on my hands I decided to bump it up a notch. I love dogs and my papillon is getting up there in age and lost her sister and this is a great way to give her company and a buddy. I am retired and home more than away. Weather permitting I spend most of my time enjoying the outdoors playing and working in my yard. I have two beautiful landscaped fully fenced acres, lots of room for your fur babies to run and play. My home is well set up for extra paws. I have one senior papillon who could use a buddy.

“Mackenzie has been absolutely amazing with my dog! She had a rocky start on her first day but Mackenzie took the time to work with her and help her acclimate! Today was her 5th day and she is thriving! Highly recommend!!”

“Ava is an amazing host! This was Dexter's second time with her, although a much shorter stay, Dexter came back home wiped out from all of the playing. I feel very comfortable whenever Dexter's over there playing because I know he's getting love and attention! Highly recommended.”

“Annie is growing so fast and her manners are improving thanks to Sarah. Annie can't wait to get out of the car when we get there and that says everything to me. Thank you Sarah!!”

Brooke B.

“Regina took excellent care of our little guy, Enzo, who cannot be left alone. She also handled some complicated logistics of handoffs between dog sitters, like a pro; communicative, prompt, detail oriented. What a savior. Thank you, Regina!”

Sara & Brandon M.

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kelsi! From day one, it was clear how genuinely caring, patient, and attentive she is with my puppy Lucy. She treats her like her own, making sure she’s safe, happy, well-exercised, and loved. I always receive great updates and photos, which gives me total peace of mind knowing Lucy is in such good hands. Her reliability, communication, and obvious love for dogs truly sets her apart. I am so grateful to have found someone I trust completely and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional care for their dog—especially puppies!”
