Doggy Day Care in Aptos Hills-Larkin Valley

We had booked Jenna to watch Kai while we were traveling, and ended up having to change plans and make a last minute request to watch Kai the day before our trip. Jenna and her family were always very accommodating and flexible, even when our drop off and pick up times kept changing. They were a life saver and took the stress out of a stressful situation! Jenna and her husband and kids are very sweet and great with the dogs they watch. Kai was super content while he was there and chill when I picked him up - which is saying a lot. I’m sure he was showered with love the whole time he was there. Thank you Jenna and family for a great stay for Kai!

I hired Keren S. to look after my new dog, a mini Dachshund that I had purchased 10 weeks ago, so that I could participate in our annual family reunion at a nearby resort that does not allow pets on the property. I could not leave him with any family members, because they were all staying at the resort. I used Rover.com to find in-home pet sitters/boarders in the area, found several, but Keren's posting caught my eye because she used the term "Concierge" to describe her services, and that is exactly what I wanted, because I wanted to spend substantial time with my new 1-year-old dog every day, but I also wanted to spend substantial time at the resort with my family. Keren was absolutely wonderful! She requested that I bring my dog to her house and spend an hour with her, during which she showed me her home's floor level and back yard arrangements for dog care, introduced each of her 3 dogs and the 2 dogs she was currently providing day care for, and we had an enjoyable and (for me) educational discussion and Q&A about dogs and dog care in general. I felt very comfortable as I left her home: my dog had already made friends with her two smallest dogs. Keren was flexible and very understanding when I had to change my drop-off and pick-up times repeatedly over the next few days, due to changes in planned times for family events that I wanted to attend. I have been satisfied with other dog sitters in the past, but Keren has "raised the bar" for me. Not only did she enable ME to enjoy my vacation, she made it an enjoyable vacation for MY DOG, too! He had three days of playing with his new dog friends, and I know he greatly enjoyed -- and benefitted from! -- that experience! When we picked him up and returned home, it seemed like he had matured by 6 months in those three days. Two Thumbs Up for Keren S! Check her out!

Thank you Nieves for taking such good care of Cozy!

We needed super last minute care for our pup Darwin. Paul was amazing! He was extremely flexible with the timing and length of stay. He was also very communicative and sent us plenty photos and even a video update of how Darwin was settling in. He really came through for our family and provided Darwin with lots of love and care. We will definitely be booking with Paul again next time.

Jennifer always takes great care of our Tyson. Highly recommend!

Jacob did a good job with my old boy. He took Max to the vet when Max wasn’t feeling well. He stayed in contact throughout Max’s days with him and followed my instructions for Max’s special needs.

Denise is the best!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Yajaira was so sweet, our timing was off making us run late and she was SUPER flexible with timing. Our pup was instantly comfortable and loved like a member of the family - with lots of photos & updates in the few hours visit while our human family enjoyed some boardwalk time! Can’t recommend enough. We felt very comfortable and safe leaving our fur baby with Yajaira. Thank you sooo much Yajaira we’ll call you next time we’re in town!

Nancy and her husband are so wonderful! It was our puppy Benji’s first stay at someone else’s house and they did a great job making him feel safe and loved. Thank you!

Debra was very accommodating and our dog was so excited to come back second day. Our dog has so much energy that she even came home exhausted. Debra made sure she was comfortable during her stay by keeping her routine with walks.

Kayla was great! She was very responsive and took good care of my Dusty, tracked his business, and took some cute candid photos of him. Put my mind at ease during a long day away from my anxious little boy.

Rikiya took my dogs for two walks during the day and was great at keeping me apprised and updated on how my dog was doing. Gave me feedback on eating and potty break.
