About: I’ve been a dog person for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs starting when I was 10, and caring for them has always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors. I’ve taken care of friends’ dogs, helped with foster dogs, and volunteered at a dog rescue in Tijuana. Every dog has their own personality and routine, and I really enjoy getting to know them and making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while they’re with me. Dog daycare fits naturally into my daily routine because I work remotely and offer full-day care in my home. Your dog will have my attention throughout the day, with plenty of time for walks, potty breaks, play, cuddles, and relaxation. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, whether they’re a puppy who needs more attention and activity or a senior who prefers a slower, more relaxed day. I want every dog staying with me to feel like they are spending the day in a second home. I provide a comfortable, calm, and welcoming environment where they can relax, play, and get plenty of attention throughout the day. Before their stay, I’ll make sure I understand their routine, personality, feeding schedule, and anything else that helps them feel comfortable. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my priority, and I’ll care for them with the same patience and affection I would want for my own dog.

“My pup appeared happy to be with Alvin and was well taken cared of. Alvin also went above and beyond when i requested to board on a short notice. He’s also very pleasant and made my anxious boy at ease. I will definitely book him again in the future!”

“Zaira was amazing with our dog during the three days we needed daytime care while we were out. She was excellent with communication from the very beginning and very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which we really appreciated. We did a brief meet-and-greet session first, and after that Zaira took our Labrador in without any issues. She also has her own dog, Malik (she’s a sweetheart!), and they got along really well, so we had no worries at all. Over the three days, Zaira took great care of our dog, shared pictures regularly, and kept us posted, which gave us complete peace of mind. If you’re visiting San Diego and need a reliable and caring place to leave your pup, Zaira is someone you can trust without hesitation. Highly recommended!”

“My dog and I met with Shane and Chris for a meet-and-greet before I booked them for a day. They were so nice and genuine during both the initial visit and the day-of daycare that i was put immediately at ease for leaving them with my senior dog. I got to see their backyard (so spacious!), and I knew that Ghibli would love sunbathing there and be his lazy self. I wouldn't hesitate to use their services again.”

Kailin H.

“It’s never easy leaving your fur baby with someone unfamiliar but after meeting Dave and Astro, I could immediately tell he was as much of a dog lover as me. Each time I picked up my pup, he was happy as a clam and could tell the level of love and care he received was commensurate to what I’d give him. If you are even remotely hesitant to leave the care of your pet with someone else, look no further than Dave. Your pup will be in excellent hands!”

Charise R.

“Best communicator ever. Lots of pictures and professional with updates and site use. Flexible and accommodating with my schedule. Mika came back chill and not stressed. Will be booking again.”

About: Your pet is family and I treat them that way. I've spent 10+ years caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and needs, including seniors, special needs pups, and pets requiring oral or injected medication. I take that responsibility seriously and follow your routines to the letter. I'm based in San Diego and love exploring everything this city has to offer like beach walks, neighborhood trails, and Balboa Park, and your dog gets to come along for all of it. Since I have no pets of my own, your animal gets my complete, undivided attention from the moment they arrive. Whether your pup needs extra patience, medical care, or just someone who will love them like you do, I've got them covered! A quick note: I work from home, so dogs who are generally calm tend to be the best fit. If your pup tends to bark a lot at noises, visitors, or being left alone, it might not be the smoothest match. Pet care is a central part of my daily routine, not an afterthought. I have dedicated availability throughout the week and structure my days around making sure every animal in my care gets consistent attention, timely walks, and plenty of love. I am not juggling a busy office schedule or rushing home after a long commute. When your pet is with me, they are my priority and my day is built around them. I follow your instructions exactly. Please send over your pet's routine, any medical needs, feeding schedule, and quirks and I will stick to it. I am experienced with medication administration both oral and injected, and comfortable with dogs who need extra care or patience. Your peace of mind matters as much as your pet's happiness.

About: As a fellow dog parent, I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you trust with your dog. I care for every pup like they’re my own! With patience, love, and lots of attention. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Whether your dog is full of energy or just wants some company, I adapt to their needs to make sure they feel safe, happy, and at home. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to easily accommodate dog walking, drop-ins, or extended stays throughout the day. Since I already care for my own dog, pet care is a natural part of my daily routine: walks, playtime, and attention are built into my day! When caring for pets in my home, I create a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where dogs feel relaxed and happy. I provide plenty of playtime, regular walks, and lots of cuddles, making sure each dog’s needs and routines are followed closely. Since I have my own dog, your pet will also get social time and companionship. If I’m caring for pets in your home, I treat your space with respect and maintain your dog’s usual schedule for feeding, walking, and play. I keep you updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for even when you’re away.

“Andre was great! Booked him on short notice, felt so comfortable leaving my boys with him. Our Adonis is recovering from surgery and he accommodated to his needs. Will definitely use his service again!”

I have 2 cats and 1 dog who are all very friendly and we live at Civita park which we love to take our furry friends to :) I am currently going back to do more school online so I will be home and have plenty of time and attention to gratefully give to your pets! I have many toys and fur friends to keep yours company ! I also live right on spacious Civita park where I take dogs to walk and explore. My complex also offers dog-walking trails and a gated dog park to play around in. My pets are very friendly although if you feel uncomfortable, I can separate them for the duration of your pet’s stay!
