Doggy Day Care in Virginiatown

About: Dogs have been in my life since i was a little girl. They have always had a huge part in my heart. I’d love to spoil your babies! I’m currently doing online schooling toward becoming a veterinarian, which has given me even more knowledge and understanding of animal care. I’m available every day of the week and can work around your preferred schedule to make sure your pets get consistent, reliable care whenever you need it. In my client’s home, I always focus on keeping pets comfortable, safe, and relaxed in their normal environment by following their usual routines like feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior so I can quickly notice if something seems off or if they need extra attention or comfort. I also make sure to keep everything clean and respected while I’m there, including food areas, water bowls, and litter boxes, and I always double-check doors and gates for safety. I clean and refresh water daily to ensure pets always have access to fresh, clean drinking water. At my own home, I have 6 acres of property with divided, fenced-in areas where dogs can safely run, play, and enjoy time outside without interfering with each other. Dogs are also welcome inside my home to relax and hang out just like they’re my own, so they get both outdoor space and a cozy indoor environment. I also clean and refresh water daily here as well to make sure every pet stays healthy and hydrated. Whether in my home or yours, my main priority is making sure every pet feels safe, cared for, and comfortable the entire time.

“Kelsey did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of JOMO today! She was attentive, kind, and truly went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled with care. Her warm personality put us at ease right away, and it was clear how much she genuinely cared. JOMO was happy and well looked after, which means the world to us. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Kelsey!”

“Our dog Dewey had a blast with Stephanie! Her home and backyard are the perfect oases. We hope to use her next time we’re in the Penryn area!”

“The Erins are amazing. When my travel was delayed, she was calm, flexible and quickly made the necessary adjustments to continue providing Henry with the best possible care! When I picked him up after a week, Henry was relaxed, happy, and even made a new best friend: Otis (Erin's dog).”

“It was a good day. First time for Abby being away from me for so long. Ruby and her family made her feel at home. Absolutely 100% rebook.”

“Very satisfied with Dan and his care for my Daisy. I left food for her but none was given. Just one water break. At home she drinks a lot of water and is fed twice a day. So I am puzzled! Dan is a great host and provides great care. I will be using his services in the future!”

About: I have experience with puppies, beginner obedience training and potty training. Senior dog care, special needs, surgery or vet procedure recovery and care. Active dogs that need lots of engagement and exercise or dogs that just want to hang out and cuddle. I work primarily from home, have a safe and fenced yard. Our home is open with lots to explore or we can provide a safe, quiet space if your pet needs that. I have a safe, fenced yard they can run around in or if they would rather hang out with me, sit in my lap, lay in my bed. I walk multiple times a day and have nature and walking trails around my home. I have a quiet room if your pet needs quiet space or they can run around the house and explore and play with my kids (10 and 12) and hang out with my family.

About: I have always grown up with animals as a child. I own 2 animals and have 3 kids. Usually you'll find me volunteering for shelters doing different things: doggy day out for shelter dogs, bottle feeding puppies and kittens, helping at adoption events. Additionally to volunteering I am also offering my all round pet care in my neighborhood. I love to take dogs on long walks and treat them like they are my own. Open to your house or mine whatever fits best into your schedule and works with your pets ! I am working from home and I have a 3rd grader I am homeschooling. So me and him are ready to be active and offer pet services in Lincoln and beyond! I am happy to work with what your pets need. Whether they are used to the kennel, have their special sleeping place etc. I am offering individualized care !!

“Jessie always gets the best care with John and his family! She goes on several walks, gets lots of playtime and we get pics and updates throughout the day.”

“Five stars, no hesitation. Luz came out to the curb to meet us at drop-off, which was such a thoughtful touch. There’s always that awkward moment as a first-time visitor where you’re not sure whether to knock or ring the doorbell, and she just took that off the table entirely. She followed all my care instructions carefully and, most impressively, rolled with a last-minute curveball: our younger dog ended up needing his neuter surgery earlier than expected, so she had to take on a whole set of post-op instructions with very little notice. She handled it without missing a beat. Her own dog was an absolute gem, calm, gentle, not a barker. That matters more than it might sound. I always worry about my dogs picking up bad habits from an anxious or reactive dog, and that was just never a concern here. Both of my dogs are Chihuahua mix puppies, which is exactly as much energy as it sounds like. She had nothing but kind things to say about them at pick-up, which honestly I appreciated, because I can barely say that about them on a high-energy day. Most telling: they were asleep within 60 seconds of getting in the car. That’s always my gold standard for a good stay. She was also wonderfully communicative throughout, sending pictures and videos regularly. I don’t always need that from a sitter, but with someone new, it means everything to know they’re being attentive. Luz absolutely was. I’ve used a number of sitters in the Roseville and Rocklin area over the years and honestly never walked away from a drop-off feeling truly at ease. This was the first time. I felt confident the whole time that my dogs were in the best possible hands. Highly recommend, especially if you have puppies or dogs with special needs.”

About: I have experience with animals from dogs, cats, bunnies, and sheep. I had a pet sitting business for local families. I am experienced in feeding, grooming, walking, and exercising. I also raised sheep and bunnies. I have a very flexible schedule. I am here to assist you in boarding, walks, overnight stays, and weekend stays. Short pop in visits too! I have a fenced yard to play in and room to play in the house! Fun places to walk to for outings! While at your home, we will play and have a great time

“Nicque is very thoughtfull. She sent us updates and pics of our dog Laila's overnight stay. We couldn't have asked for a more accommodating sitter. 10/10”

“Amanda was very gracious towards our very naughty puppy. Apparently, some of the nervous behaviors that we don’t see at home came out with an unholy flourish at Amanda‘s home. But I appreciate the fact that Amanda gave us a full and honest report (which is helpful for us to gauge the areas he still needs significant training) and was very kind about the negatives. The most important thing, though, was that he settled down in the car almost immediately. Our dog is a very nervous dog, so if he has had a rough time at a dog sitter, we know right away because he whines and whimpers all the way home. After leaving Amanda‘s house, he winded for about 60 seconds and then went to sleep. Hallelujah! Thank you, Amanda, for the top quality care you have given to our very low quality puppy. I am especially grateful that Amanda was willing to take the puppy at the last minute, because my husband had a hospital procedure and I had completely forgotten about making arrangements for the dog. What a godsend Amanda has been.”

“Harley and Watson loved their stay! Candelaria was the perfect sitter! Very accommodating and so easy to work with! Will definitely use again!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for around 9 years now, and have pet sat for many family and friends through those years! I also have experience with farm animals, and love every second of it! Spending time with animals is one of my favorite things to do! I look forward to making some new animal friends! I am currently in school, but it is mainly online so I will have plenty of time to care for your animals! I am available from early in the morning, until the evenings! I am also available on most weekends! I have a fenced yard with plenty of room to run around. I have a friendly 9 year old German shepherd who loves to play! We have a beautiful place for walks as well right nearby! And as for caring for your furry family in your home, I will do whatever you need me to! Feeding, playing, and just spending quality time!

“Minna and Jason are great. Our pup came back happy and exhausted, I'm sure she had a good time and was well taken care of.”

“Amanda was great. She sent me pictures throughout his day. He obviously had a great day because he fell asleep before we got to the end of her street and he ate dinner and snored and slept all night. I'll definitely use her for my sitting needs.”
