Doggy Day Care In Willow Glen

About: Hello/Hola! My name is Heather and I have been working with dogs and cats for 14 yrs. Prior to becoming an archaeologist (my current profession), I worked in pet services as a groomer (Corporate and Private) and sitter (Private). I love animals and cannot imagine a life without them and it is for that reason I endeavor to further develop my skills as a pet care provider and aim to create lasting relationships with my clients and their fur-family. Expectations: When your pet is in my care you can count on: * SAFETY FIRST! If your pet becomes severely stressed by being separated from you, if they suddenly become ill-ANYTHING, you will hear about it immediately. * Love: your pet will be treated like a member of my own family and will be loved, cuddled and played with as much as they want/allow. * As little or as much phone/text contact as you prefer: we understand wanting to get away from it all and we won’t interrupt you, unless you ask me to. * Photos and videos of your pet with us (usually doing something adorably silly). * Upholding your rules and routines. * Complete transparency: I don’t believe in hoodwinking my clients and putting their pets through stressful situations for personal gain and sometimes that means having to refuse service for the sake of the animal. You will receive honest feedback about how your pet was while with us and will be contacted IMMEDIATELY if any issues should arise. Finally, I am willing to travel further than the specified range if I am properly compensated for the extra time and wear on my car. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile! I hope to meet you and your pet one day! Best, Heather, Jeremy & “Norman” **NOTE: I am a full time archaeologist which can limit my availability, however it also offers some flexibility depending on where I am stationed. Let’s chat and see what works! I am a full time archaeologist and am often in the field. My schedule can be interesting to say the least and may require me to travel quite a bit. This extends my range, but also limits my home time. My schedule of availability is kept up to date! Please contact me for more information. The most important thing I can do for you is to keep your loved one/s on their usual routine and to provide comfort and care in your absence. I follow your rules and guidance, period.

About: Hi! We’ve had plenty of experience caring for friends’ dogs, and we also have a high energy Samoyed of our own, so we’re very familiar with different personalities and energy levels. We truly believe that healthy socialization is important for a dog’s emotional well being. Our goal is to provide a safe, warm, and relaxed environment where every dog can feel comfortable, secure, and happy. Since we have our own dog, your dog will naturally follow a consistent daily routine with us. We take dogs out for walks together with our dog every day, usually around 20 minutes in the morning and afternoon. We adjust based on the weather and daily conditions, so they can enjoy a steady routine, companionship, and time to explore and relax. Potty breaks happen naturally during walks, and we keep a consistent routine without extending the time or forcing them. In addition, we have a cozy grassy backyard where dogs can run, play, and enjoy fresh air throughout the day. It’s a safe and comfortable space where they can explore, relax, and feel right at home. To ensure the best quality of care, we only take one dog at a time. This allows us to give our full attention and create a more personalized and stress free experience. We treat every dog like our own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. We’re also happy to provide updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away 😊 We take dogs out for walks together with our dog every day, usually around 20 minutes in the morning and afternoon. We adjust based on the weather and daily conditions, so they can enjoy a steady routine, companionship, and time to explore and relax. Potty breaks happen naturally during walks, and we keep a consistent routine without extending the time or forcing them. We believe pet care is about more than just the basics; it’s about genuine engagement. We dedicate focused time to active play and mental stimulation, capturing those joyful moments through high-quality photos to give you peace of mind. Beyond enrichment, we prioritize physical health with a strict adherence to your preferred feeding schedules, constant access to fresh water, and the occasional well-earned treat.

“Brodie came home tired and happy from doggie day care. Communication was super easy and the location was ideal for us. We will rebook for sure!”

“Megha and Avi are the absolute best! Barfi is icing on the cake 🙂 This was Luna’s first day care visit ever. I was anxious about how she would do without me, but Megha and Avi made her feel right at home. They kept me updated about her with pics and videos. Gave me a report when I went to pick her up which was insightful. She had such a great time, and even came home with a bandanna! I would definitely go back with them and recommend them to other pet parents”

“FIrst time, using Rover for our dog, Capo. Teresa & her family, are wonderful, true dog lovers. Capo felt right at home with them & their dog Skittles. Teresa texted us pictures during his stay showing us what a good time he was having. The second day we brought him over he was so excited he couldn't wait to get to the front door. Thanks again for taking good care of our little guy and hopefully, Capo will see you all again soon!!”

“Thank you to Lauren and Catherine for hosting my furbabies Harley and Bella! They provided exceptional care and kept me in the loop through the day. I recommend them both for anyone looking for a caring pet sitter.”

“Pixie had a great daycare today. She was well taken care of by great pet sitters. It was her first day there. I definitely recommend them. Pixie will be a repeat client.”

“If I could give Ghelina 100 stars, I would!! She’s the best sitter we’ve ever had. I’ve used Rover before, but after just moving from GA, I was so nervous about finding a new sitter out here. I’m beyond grateful I found Ghelina because she is everything. I would trust her with my Sevyn 1,000 times over. She was absolutely amazing with her and sent so many videos, photos, and updates throughout my stay, which truly put me at ease. She kept Sevyn active all day..she went to sleep almost immediately after every stay. Ghelina and her partner took such great care of my baby for 3 days. Thank you!!!! 🩷🩷”

“Grace has been a godsend for my puppy. She helped set a routine, kept me updated on his activities every single day. He actually ate more food at her place than he does at mine. She took him on good long walks and made his super comfortable. I was at peace on my trip knowing the daily happenings and seeing pictures of him. She truly treated him like her own pet.”

“Robyn is great to work with. She has a lot of knowledge and awareness about dog behavior which immediately put me at ease. Lucy had an awesome time at her house.”

“Elizabeth took great care of Rio! She was very thoughtful with how she setup space for him in the house and let him sit next to her, and I appreciated her updating me throughout the day with pictures and comments. Such a nice bonus to get a portrait of Rio, too!”

Michelle M.

“Charlie had a wonderful stay-cation :) I felt confident with the care and love he received and would definitely like to have Charlie stay again. He cried for Christopher when we drove away which I found really endearing. Thank you!”

“It was my first time using Rover to daycare my dog and Pallavi and her family was so sweet and took great care of my dog. It was a last minute booking request yet she gave me very fast response and her house has a backyard which allows your dog to potty and have fun around. I highly recommend her for dog daycare or boarding!”

Hailey K.

“Flora took such great care of Benji! It was a daycare stay, and I could tell how much Benji loves her. Benji will definitely be staying with Flora again this summer!”

Madoka N.

“Diem took great care of my dog—very kind, genuine, and clearly someone who really loves dogs. She has a secure fenced setup (including the front/driveway area), which made me feel comfortable right away. She showed my dog a lot of love and even took the time to ask about what she could eat because she wanted to give her something extra, which I really appreciated. By the end, my dog felt completely at home. Honestly, I think my dog was a little sad to leave… and I can’t say I blame her. Would definitely book again.”

About: Hello! My name is Heather and I am available to walk dogs during the day, and take care of dogs and/or cats and other pets for weekends or extended periods. I am available to be home with your pets during the day when I look after them, and I will make sure they get the attention and exercise they need. I’ve taken care of dogs for six years, and I will send pictures and updates while you’re away. I have experience giving dogs medicine and am happy to work with any special needs your loved one might have. Let me know how I can help. Looking forward to meeting you and your fur family! Thank you! I am currently unemployed and would love for taking care of animals to be a full-time job. I find myself busier on weekends when my partner is free, but I am flexible! I have a fenced yard, a lovely neighborhood to walk around, and a car for picking up and dropping off. I am also very happy to take them on their usual route around your place, or to find new parks or new places to sniff.

“Olga and Chris are great people! They took very good care of our dog Happy when we were away about a week ago. Their dog Josie is the most friendly dog I have ever seen and Happy just love to play with her. Olga also send photos and video of Happy having fun or just rest everyday which we appreciated very much! Happy has separation anxiety and Olga handled very well. Anyways, if you are looking for a great sitter for your beloved pet, look no further! BTW, Olga also makes high quality soaps that smell heavenly and long lasting. They can make a great holiday gifts!”
