Doggy Day Care in Winchendon

“Heather is very flexible and we felt comfortable leaving Teddy with her to go to a concert. We were out a little later than anticipated, but she was fine with that. Also, sent some pictures of Teddy playing with her dogs, which gave me real peace of mind that he was having fun and wasn’t lonely.”

“Glad we found Michael for our Shepsky for a week stay. He took great care of our dog. Updated about our dog well being and just cared like a family member. Michael responds very quickly and would recommend without hesitation.”

“What a wonderful family! Luiz & Patricia are incredibly professional and kind (as are their daughters & pup!) and made my girl feel right at home. She came home exhausted after having spent much of the day running around outside and playing with their dog & daughters. I always LOVE to get updates during a stay, and I received so many fun pictures and videos. I could not recommend them more!!!”

“Katherine is the best. Otis enjoys being with her sooo much! So glad we found her and his new best friend Berklee. Recommend her with no hesitations.”

“It sounds like Quinn had a nice time playing with other dogs here. Nikki was able to take him on fairly short notice. He returned calm and happy after the exercise and attention.”

About: I have had my own pets for at least 10 years, but have also had a lot of experience caring for rescues, farm animals, and caged animals. I have two rescue pups and 2 cats that are my babies. I understand how difficult it can be to leave them behind while you are away. I will care for your animals exactly as I do my own. I have experience working with reactive dogs, and am comfortable handling them. My two rescues both have a history of reactivity, and I have worked closely with trainers to help curb their behaviors. I am patient and understanding. I currently foster dogs with a local dog rescue. Not only do we provide a temporary home, but we also help with basic obedience and house manners. I’m also experienced in giving medications as needed. I went to a vocational high school where I studied veterinary science. We cared for several cows, donkeys, chickens, and sheep. As well as managed a variety a small cage animals, hamsters, gerbils, chinchillas, ferrets, etc. This is also where I learned some basic grooming care. I currently work from home and have autonomy and flexibility to make my own schedule. I can stay in your home or visit several times a day to make sure pet is getting walked and some extra love throughout the day. I’m also available in the evenings and on weekends. I have two friendly dogs who are used to sharing their space with fosters. My cats are very dog savvy and stay up and off the floor if needed. I do crate train and can keep up with any schedule you already have in place. While I have a small backyard for quick potty breaks, we are very close to several walking paths.

“Another great stay for Blade with Haley!”

“Noy is the best!”

“Zippy seemed to have a great time! Carter did a great job with him. Thx!”

“Abigail was very friendly professional and easy going. She was reassuring and made us feel comfortable and at home. My pups were very happy during their visit. It’s the perfect set up for us and we will definitely be back . It was super nice to get photos and updates 3 times during one day! Highly recommend! Thanks Abigail😀”

“Amanda is a wonderful pet sitter who takes excellent care of our fur babies! Right when we first met her we got an excellent first impression. She is very warm and friendly and is great with our pets! When we came home our pets were relaxed and happy. Our dog is always happy to see her, you can tell she really feels loved when she’s with her. We love that she sends us check in pictures of our pets adventures while they are with her, and she has always been available when we need her.”

Your fur baby would be treated as if they were my own. I do my best to have a great relationship with any animal I come in contact with. My house is 100% dog and cat friendly. Plenty of space for them to roam as they wish, also a large yard with tie out leads. All animals are welcome. I am home 80% of the time. I leave home for work about 5 hours every other day.

Ensuring a safe space and plenty if toys is the key to successful play time for everyone.

“We appreciate Phillip's willingness and accommodations to fit in a meet and greet before we boarded our pup with him. He shared pictures that let us know how she did while there. Thanks Phillip!”

About: I have been raising, training, and caring for dogs my whole life. At this time in my life I have not had a four legged friend for awhile. I felt it would be fun just to be a part time care giver to others dogs. Since I don't have Grandchildren, I have plenty of time and love to give to part time pets, plus the freedom to hand them back to their parents!! I have a husband and son that love dogs, lots of acreage to walk and run on, a super clean home which will be where I keep them, and I will give lots of attention to your pet. I am a retired 66 year old, no grandchildren, so I have plenty of time to walk, play, and give all my attention to the pets I take in my home. Your pet will have the whole house to roam. I will leash them to walk them, and for potty breaks. My yard is over 3 acres and unfenced, surrounded by woods so I will always have them on a leash when we are outside. Your pet will be warm, fed, and happy in my home.

About: I love taking care of people's animals. I will stay with your animal overnight, or give them daily care. I am active so your dog will get plenty of exercise. I can care for horses, mucking stalls and putting them in the pasture. I can housit and care for animals on any day and/or night. I am often available during the holidays. . . . . . . I will always keep your dog on a leash when we walk. My favorite places for dog walking are off road to avoid traffic. It is best if I care for animals in your home because I can keep aclose eye on them when you're away. I am open to cleaning stalls etc. I love cats, and have one of my own.

“It is my pleasure to let you know about Margaret's love for animals. She has cared for and nutured my pets over the years. Minnie , my current dog is sweet and also very active. It is assuring to know that my pet caregiver has the energy to keep up with her. Margaret is also very intuitive. My pup is not very verbal when it comes to her needs. Minnie speaks with her eyes. Margaret has learned what each expression means. I have watched her with her pets and other along the way. I can say she is a kindred spirit.”

“Wouldn’t trust my dog with anyone other than Adrianna! She treats my dog like one of her own pups and keeps me updated whenever she has her. My dog always comes home exhausted after a stay with Adrianna due to all their adventures and exercise she gives them!”

“Tricia was fabulous! Nora had such a wonderful time, got out to exercise, and even enjoyed some doggy playtime with a friend. We appreciate the love Tricia gave to our baby girl. We look forward to another visit with Tricia.”

“Giannina has watched our 6-year-old schnauzer, Miles, twice and he loved every minute! She gave Miles such love and attention the entire time and he came back home after our long trips a very happy and healthy dog. She kept me in the loop with pictures and updates of what he was doing with her family and it gave me peace of mind knowing that our little baby was being taken care of. Giannina was also super accommodating when our flight was delayed and again this alleviated all our stress from traveling away from our little pup. Giannina is a loving, kind, and excellent with all pups! Highly recommend her!”

About: I've worked at a doggy daycare for the past few months. I've learned how to train puppies and basic grooming skills like clipping nails, brushing, and bathing dogs. For this job, I've been able to take some of the animals home for a few nights at a time to give them some family socialization time! I've taken care of friends animals in the past, going over every few hours to clean up, take care of bathroom breaks, and making sure they're fed and loved. I recently was able to get my very own puppy and she's a joy to have, so I'm excited for the opportunity to meet even more animals and be able to take care of them! I work full-time at the moment, and my schedule varies from week to week. That will be changing very soon and then, hopefully, I'll have more availability! But, anytime that I'm not working on my days off or days I'm scheduled I'll be available for any caretaking needed. I have a young puppy, she gets along great with other animals and would love to have more company! My yard is very big, but is not fenced in. I could 100% crate a dog if it's needed, otherwise, the dog will get a lot of playtime in/outside! If I'm visiting/staying at a home for caretaking, I'd make sure any messes were cleaned thoroughly, and that the animals got as much play time and exercise as they wanted.
