Doggy Day Care Academy Gardens

About: Over two decades of working in pet sitting mainly through small local set ups. Through Rover, I am infusing my creative side to make unique story driven portraits for animal loving families! Can do early morning or late night walks, then can help a puppy with frequent potty breaks. I have an outdoor space of my own, and a backyard with a doggy potty station. My apartment is on the 3rd floor, with 2 cats. My home multiple security features in the common area, and in the home. Personally willing to make a detailed list of events from their stay, and back it up with photos and videos.

“Maryori was 12/10! Not only did she take in Cooper last minute she was very sweet and accommodating. She kept me updated on Cooper the entire time. You won’t regret keeping your pup with her. This was the first time but it won’t be the last I book with her!”

About: Hi! I’ve had pets all my life and now have my own friendly dog. I have a degree in veterinary medicine. Your pet will be in safe, loving hands. I offer a calm, pet-friendly home, regular walks, playtime, and lots of attention. My dog enjoys company, so your pup won’t feel lonely! I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine and give medications if needed. I care for every animal like they’re part of my family. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Every day I go for a walk with my dog — it’s a part of our day we all enjoy. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and make sure they get the attention, exercise, and love they need. I take good care of my own dog by regularly washing her, trimming her nails, cleaning her ears and teeth when needed, and making sure she stays fresh and comfortable. I also give her deworming tablets on a regular schedule to keep her healthy. I pay close attention to hygiene and health to ensure pets feel their best.

“I’ve used Michelle and fiancé a couple times to watch Angel and definitely will be using again in the the future. Super quick to reply to messages and sends photos and videos throughout the stay.

“We are repeat clients with Douglas. Our gal Pebbles gets so excited when we pull up to his house, she has a great time there, which you can see in her smile in the pictures he sends. Always feel at ease knowing she's in good hands.”

About: I love dogs, especially the ones that may not be the best walkers and best trained. My 15 year old shiba recently passed and I miss taking walks and caring for him daily. I have also lived with a variety of higher-energy, larger dogs who've needed more help in training and runs. I am available to help if your hours are long or in off times (I do actually work a full-time remote job and am seeking this out because I would love to spend more time with more dogs and dog owners), and would love to spend time with your pup for whatever his or her needs may be (even if that just means keeping treats on me at all times)! Less of a capitalistic enterprise, and more of a desire to hang out with cool dogs. Full-time work from home, so I am available all day to play with and and walk your little dog! Need your help know what your pet’s schedule looks like and how I can help maintain it. Lots of walks and supervision until we trust eachother enough for free roams inside.

About: I have ten years of experience working with seniors in the past and I have 3 amazing, older kids that love to care for animals. I took some time off of work to help homeschool my kids. But my kids have a pretty easy schedule. Therefore, I have a lot of time to care for animals. I have a pregnant neighbor so she usually needs help with her dog. I like to give them 2-3 walks a day, bathe them if needed, feed them dog food with lots of nutrients, and make sure they are hydrated. My clients dog is pretty chill so I usually just pet him and feed him. Pets fit into my daily routine because I have a pretty open schedule and have a lot of time to care for the dogs which I’m caring for I have a fenced in yard and everything that can cause harm is door away. I also have smoke detectors, carbon dioxide, and a fire extinguisher.

“Hardy and his daughter were absolutely amazing with Ziggy! From the very first moment, they made sure Ziggy felt safe, comfortable, and right at home. Hardy was so communicative — he called me with updates and sent pictures throughout the stay, which gave me total peace of mind. What really stood out is that this was a last-minute request, and Hardy came through without hesitation. Ziggy genuinely enjoyed every moment of his stay. Highly recommend Hardy to any pet parent looking for someone who truly cares!”
