Doggy Day Care in Salinas

“My pup is so excited to see Arbella every morning! She has been a regular since she was 4 months old. My mind is at ease while I’m at work, knowing she is well taken care of (and cuddled!). Arbella is also great with communication & sends photo updates during the day.”

About: From daily walks to personalized playtime and attentive feeding, my commitment extends beyond basic care to fostering a loving and comfortable environment.

“Virginia is a great dog sitter. Always letting me know updates on my pup. I will be using her services again. I highly recommend her . 👌”

“Look no further—Marina is the best. Marina was very patient, kind, and careful with my 4-lb rescue Kevin Gelato. Our communication was great, and she is very flexible with scheduling. Drop-off and pick-up were a breeze, and she kept me up to date on Kevin throughout the day. Thank you Marina!”

“Experience overall a 10/10! I drove from Pacific Grove to bring my dggie Twix to Martin’s house. Even though the location is a little bit far, it was totally worth it because as soon as I dropped Twix off I knew he was in good hands. The backyard is an excellent setting for dogs that either want to be separated, or together with others, similar to what you’d see at a doggie daycare center. I thought that was really great because not all dogs want to be part of the pack at all times and sometimes having dog’s being able to personal space that’s not a crate is really good for control and safety. Also, the area was very clean and tidy with lots of shade with plenty of room to play. Overall, I was very much impressed and wished I lived closer to Martin’s house. I dropped my dog off for about five hours, and I got several updates and video footage while I was gone. Thank you so much for watching my dog and I hope to book you again!”

“Tiffany has been an animal lover since she was a little girl. She is so gentle and caring with her black lab Mochi and I am sure that your pet would be in good hands. Tiffany also has experience in grooming animals.”

“She did absolutely amazing with our new puppy! She was very flexible and very communicative about everything. We will definitely continue to use her!!”

About: Hi! My name is Jeannessa. I am currently studying for my BA at CSU Monterey Bay and I am working towards a career in K9 training. I have owned dogs my entire life and I have multiple years of experience caring for pets of all kinds. I previously managed a local daycare, boarding, and Pet Spa facility in Monterey. I am Certified Dog Trainer, working underneath a local Master Trainer in Marina to obtain my speciality certifications. Ask me about my training services! I am here to provide exceptional care for your pets. I love to go for walks and adventures out in nature, and at night I love to cuddle with dogs. I love dogs of all shapes, sizes, and ages, especially the big, cuddly ones! I have experience working with both geriatric and special needs pets. I have experience in administering oral and injection medications, as well as experience with general health care such as nail trimmings, bathing, and brushing. Feel free to say hi or reach out with any questions! I am currently a student and employed, but home frequently. If I am not home, my partner usually is, and I am never gone for more than 4 hours at a time. While I am caring for your pet, I will provide consistent supervision and affection. I also am extremely diligent when it comes to the safety of your pet outside your home. If I transport your pet in my car, they will be secured with a harness attached to a pet seat belt.

About: I live in a very dog friendly community. Across the street from my house is a big grass area for the dogs to play. Down the street is a dog park and a baseball field to play fetch and for the dogs to have time to just be dogs. Because I live so close to old Fort Ord there are numerous trails within walking distance from my house to take the pups on an adventure. During the week I work at a barn where I get to bring the dogs to work with me, so your pet would be with me 24/7. My dogs are extremely friendly and I’ve fostered dogs in the past. After work I usually take my dogs to the beach or on a long walk. They get fed am and pm and will be flexible to your dogs needs. They are more than welcome to sleep on the bed with me or use one of the two massive dog beds I have. Let’s not forget about the abundance of dog toys I have to keep everyone happy!!! I work at a barn so the dogs come to work with me. While working, they get free range of the office. Throughout the day I take them out numerous times for potty brakes. After work we go on a long walk or play ball down the street from from my house in the field. I have two small backyards the dogs have full access to. My larger pup doesn’t like to use the yards to go potty so I take him on routine walks to do his business. Again, I do work, but the pups always come with me so they are never left home alone.

“Mike & Lynne are Salinas’ best kept secret! They are every dog owner’s dream dog watchers! They are always home, they love going on walks and are super sweet! They have a way of making us and our dog Zuzu feel like family. My husband and I enjoyed talking with them and Zuzu had a great time climbing over Mike, who laid on the grass to play with her. They were very communicative with us before and during Zuzu’s stay. I would def recommend them and we will be taking Zuzu back!”

“Hemmingway has been staying with Gabriel for a couple on months now. Gabriel and his son Lucas spend the entire days playing with Hemi, Titan and Almond. The back yard is completely fixed up for dogs to be outside and playing. When he has errands to run Delia and their two older kids help out. The team is very flexible as my work hours are all over the map. They were even able to keep Hemi overnight on short notice while I had a family member at a local ED. The pictures and updates make my day ! Gabriel has taught Hemi to sit, platz,up or jump and are working on heeling. I am sooooo blessed to have a great place or second home for Hemi!❤️ Love the entire family ?”

“Chris is a super star dog sitter. He dog sitter for Checkers last minute and did a great job watching him. He provided videos and photos too which put our mind at ease when leaving him. We will definitely be using his services again. Thank you so much Chris!!!”

About: My history with pets is extensive and I’ve come across a variety of animals. My first pet was a blue Betta fish and soon after I obtained 2 Dwarf Hamsters. Then I got my first dog, she was a Chihuahua & Terrier mix and her name was Bella. I currently have a pair of parakeets and a Crested gecko only. I have also rescued animals off the streets and from pet owners who can no longer take care of their pets. One of those rescued animals was a beautiful European quail bird that we rescued from an owner who could no longer take care of her. I also cared for a lost house rabbit, many strayed dogs and a chicken. I’ve always had a passion for animals ever since I was a child. Out of all the pets I have owned, Bella was my best companion. I am currently working and studying, which holds me back from getting another dog because of my financial situation. However, I would love to once again be around dogs and enjoy their great company while at the same time give you peace of mind while you’re away on your business or vacation trip. Note: I don’t take in Cats because I have no cat care experience. I am currently a full time college student and I am only available for boarding after 6PM on weekdays. Saturdays I am available all day and Sundays only until 7PM. I have a wide open area that provides enough space for big and small dogs. This will allow me to provide your dog with playtime anytime. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing will be my main priority. My backyard is fenced all around and has trees that provide shade when the sun is inconvenient. No need to worry about young children being around your dog(s).

“Jocelyn (Jay) is without a doubt the best dogsitter / dogwalker my family has had. We've usually had her stay at our place while we're away, and she's taken care of a husky and a border collie. Those are very active dogs, but they would be happy and tired out at the end of the day. Jay took them on long walks, long sessions at dog parks, and played with them at home. She gave them lots of attention. When my husky became sick and needed several medicines, Jay followed her care regimen religiously. Our remaining dog rushes up to her whenever he sees Jay. He knows something good is going to happen!”

“Jaqueline was available on short notice and took good care of our dog. Quick response to our messages, and clearly loves dogs.”

“Chantel is one of the sweetest people we know. She is a super loving and passionate animal lover. We recommend Chantel 100% she’s very reliable and is very flexible with her time. She will take care of your fur babies like her own.”

“Sabrina was a great sitter for Boba. She gave updates sent pictures throughout the day. Boba seemed to love it there. Would definitely recommend.”

“I am delighted to share my heartfelt recommendation for Kim as a dog sitter and all-around remarkable individual. I have had the pleasure of knowing her for the past three years, initially connecting through an online art community. We have met in person since then and she has become one of my most trusted friends; she is like a sister to me. I can attest that she is one of the most giving, gentle, and compassionate people you will ever meet. In the duration of our friendship, I have witnessed not only her incredible skill as an artist, but also her profound love for animals. This is evident in the way I have seen her care of her two Shiba Inus, Kitkat and Myuu (and I’m sure she would gladly provide the photo evidence to prove it!). I am fully confident that she will handle pet sitting with the same unwavering commitment, reliability, and care that she consistently exhibits in every aspect of her life.”
