Dog Boarding Waggner Ranch

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.

“Jessie has become Edward’s home away from home. He’s very comfortable with her and always happy to see her. She’s very observant about changes in his behavior and is very caring and patient with him. He’s so much happier staying with her than in a boarding kennel.”

“Love XingYuan!! Thins was my dog’s second time with her and I can tell he adores her. She takes great care of him and sends lots of cute updates.”

“Highly recommend Marya! She was sweet and professional and sent me more pictures than I can ask for. Our dog is also epileptic and had a few seizures while with her. She remained calm and followed the directions as exactly as we asked her too and Mochi seemed happy. Her house was also clean which is oddly not the case for lots of sitters we've used. We will be using her again!”

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.

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.

“Minhhan has been wonderful with our senior Shih Tzu. Delilah has lots of anxiety and it takes time for her to feel comfortable around new people. Minhhan has been very patient with Delilah and Delilah has become very fond of Minhhan. We have already set it up another boarding appointment with her. You can definitely tell she is an animal lover and Delilah and our family are so happy to have found Minhhan.”

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 :)

“Dana took very good care of Chewie when we were away. Chewie seemed very relaxed and happy with them . I’ll definitely use her service again in future. Thank you Dana !”

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.

About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages and personalities. Through long-term ownership, I’ve learned how to read dog body language, understand daily routines, and respond calmly to different situations. I have a fixed class schedule during the day, but I am available outside of class hours for pet care services. I clearly communicate my availability in advance so owners know exactly when I can provide care and support. I focus on providing responsible and reliable care for the pets I do accept, and I always follow owner instructions to ensure safety, consistency, and clear expectations
