Doggy Day Care Allendale

“Giezell watched our toy poodle for a few hours and provided us with photos and videos throughout stay. We picked up our dog about 20 minutes late and she was very understanding and accommodating. We’ll definitely book Giezell again if we’re ever in the area!”

“Abbey got to go for a ride, take a walk, and got the house all to herself! Although she tolerates other dogs, she enjoys being the one and only! Thank you Jason for caring for and watching over our girl.♥️”

“Haruka and Daniel were wonderful, and incredibly kind! My dog Sybil had a little trouble with some anxiety after I left and they did a great job keeping her comfortable despite it and keeping me updated. By the time I got there she was right at home and ready to play! We'd definitely love to book again next time!”

About: My name is Destiny and I grew up caring for large and small dogs and cats. I have hands-on experience raising puppies and kittens from birth through adulthood. As an adult, I continue to care for both cats and dogs, including adopted shelter cats and my own Labrador Retriever and Standard Poodle. Both of my dogs are neutered, gentle and affectionate. My Standard Poodle loves to run and play and can be wonderfully bouncy, but he's also surprisingly nurturing and likes to make sure everyone is okay. My Labrador is basically Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh—a lovely potato who is particularly drawn to wee, scrappy dogs. I actively study canine behavior and learning. I train and participate in dog sports including obedience, scent work/nose work, agility, Barn Hunt and NASDA. I'm comfortable observing canine body language, following established training and management routines, providing enrichment, and adapting my approach to the individual dog. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy getting to know animals as individuals. I don't expect every dog or cat to immediately love me, and I don't force interaction. I believe comprehensive care starts with paying attention to what makes an animal feel safe, comfortable and understood. I work from home with a flexible schedule and control over my own hours, which gives me plenty of time to incorporate walks, play, enrichment, meals, potty breaks and companionship throughout the day. Our household is unusually quiet and relaxed. There are no children in the home, and my neighborhood is a peaceful residential area that's well suited to walks and downtime. Pets staying with me have opportunities for activity and engagement, but also plenty of time and space to settle, nap and simply relax. Because I'm home much of the day, pet care fits naturally into my routine rather than having to be squeezed in around a long commute or rigid work schedule. I believe pet care starts with understanding the *individual* animal. I take time to learn each pet's normal routine, temperament, preferences, training cues, feeding needs and anything that may make them uncomfortable or stressed. My approach is calm, patient and attentive. I don't force interactions, and I pay close attention to body language and changes in behavior. I follow owners' established routines and management instructions carefully because consistency can make being away from home much easier for a pet. My home is clean, quiet, child-free and low-stress, in a peaceful residential neighborhood. I want visiting pets to have a comfortable place where they can play and engage when they want to, but can also settle and rest without constant activity, noise or disruption. When caring for pets in their own homes, I bring the same approach: respect the animal's familiar environment, follow the household's routines carefully, communicate reliably with the owner, and leave things exactly as I found them.

About: Hi! I’m Savannah, a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for pets of all kinds. I understand that pets are family, and I’ll treat yours with the same love, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a reliable routine while you’re away, I’m committed to providing safe, dependable, and loving care. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family! Pet care is my full-time focus, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, love, and consistent care throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule and can easily accommodate your pet’s routine, whether that means walks, playtime, feedings, medication, or lots of cuddles. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are my top priorities. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is clean, safe, and pet-friendly, with a fully fenced backyard where dogs can run and play securely. I also have a friendly, playful Yorkie-Maltese who loves making new friends and is always excited to have a playmate. I’ll make sure your pet feels loved, comfortable, and right at home during their stay.

About: I have taken care of both dogs and cats with various energy levels and personalities for two decades. With a fenced in yard, and a beautiful shaded walking path next door. As well as plenty of breaks all day long. I mostly work from home so this keeps my pet schedule open to help! I have experience with large and small breeds from Yorkies to Huskies and Giant Schnauzers. On top of that I’m a Tortie mom that is familiar with the Tortitude. Animals make life better 🫶🏻 I work remotely most days so my animals get a lot of play time. We get cabin fever without some exercise. I’m up early, my animals always eat first thing with a small amount of training. Then an energetic play session inside, in the fenced yard, or walk on the shaded neighborhood walking path. The animals get to rest and play on the property or inside while I work or knock out house chores. Lunch comes with another play and potty break and some mental health enrichment for the second half of the day. I wrap up work and prep everyone’s dinner. One more session of play before bed and then lights out for everyone. We usually keep together in the same room unless someone has a preference that day. Talk to me about the needs of your pet and we can build a plan together. I’m not a certified trainer but I’m happy to support the goals of the family by maintaining that standard of care your pet appreciates. I’m very fortunate to have the time and space to support various needs.

About: Love tiny fur babies, but I have sat for young and adult dogs for the past 6 years. I bring nearly 20 years of experience in fast-paced, people-centric industries — which means I’m calm under pressure, communicative, and deeply attuned to individual needs (human or furry). I treat every pet like they’re my own, prioritizing safety, comfort, and play. I have experience caring for senior dogs, administering meds, and managing multi-pet households. I’m also great with shy or anxious pets — I take the time to build trust and follow your routines to the letter. Whether it’s belly rubs, structured walks, or enrichment activities, your pet gets personalized care and my full attention. Pet care is just part of our life. My partner and I live together, and he’s a huge dog lover — he had a German Shepherd for almost 11 years, so caring for animals is second nature to both of us. We keep a calm, pet-friendly home and love having furry company around. Walks, belly rubs, playtime, meds if needed — it’s all built into our day. Whether it’s your pup’s first visit or their tenth, they’ll get plenty of attention and affection from both of us. Whether I’m welcoming your pet into my home or caring for them in theirs, I keep things calm, safe, and consistent. I follow your routines closely — feeding, walks, meds, playtime — because I know how much pets thrive on familiarity. At my place, I make sure they have a comfy space to relax, access to fresh water, and all the love and attention they’re used to getting from you. I keep communication open with updates, photos, and little check-ins so you never have to wonder how things are going. Whether it’s a quick walk or a weekend stay, your pet’s well-being is always the priority.

“When we met Andrew at his house, he gave us a tour which included his yard. We picked up our 23lb 12 yr old poodle mix a few hours later. Oogie was happy and fell asleep when we returned home. This is the first time we used Rover’s app & dog sitting services. We are happy with the overall experience.”

“Sabrina watched our baby for daycare for 3 days. Our pup quickly seemed to warm up to her. She kept us updated during the day and graciously brought her to us at the end of the day. Sabrina seemed super friendly and she treated our pup with a lot of care, even in the face of our dog’s first heat cycle. We appreciate her and the care she provided.”

Melania K.

“Everything went really well, once for the meet & greet, and again for the stay. Elliot was very calm and comfortable when approaching Mazi and introducing his fur-babies. When I got her back from the stay, she was tired (which to me speaks to an active day, which I really appreciate after mine). Definitely would use again if he'd have me.”

“This was our first experience using the service. Jiajie provided excellent care and regular updates. She was knowledgable and gave us good suggestions.”

Debbie D.

“Miko had a great time at Shireen’s! We did a meet and greet a few days before to help him warm up a bit, and that was helpful for my nervous pup. If we ever need a sitter again, we will definitely be booking with Shireen!”

Khaila Zherine F.

“Linda took wonderful care of Luke. It was a holiday and we needed a safe and kind environment for Luke. So relieved Linda was able to care for him. She shared photos and kept us updated. He was happy to enter and slept well that night! We would definitely use Linda’s services again. Highly recommend.”

About: I have owned dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes since I was born. Now, I have worked as a vet assistant for 6 years in both general practice and oncology. I have helped with emergencies for all kinds of breeds and done overnight care several times. I also work and volunteer at shelters consistently so I know how to deal with animal stress. I have never met an animal I didn't love no matter its personality and demeanor so I know they are in good hands. I am a college student but have gaps in my day to go back to my apartment and take them out. I would never leave a pet at home for more than 2 hours and live with just my fiance and I also well equipped in pet care, but I will be doing the caregiving. I love every furry friend and it would be a joy rather than a chore to help care for each pet. I am well versed in medication administration, feeding, playtime, small training activities, and more. Depending on the breed or species, I would ensure I am thorough with each pets need and go from there whether thats exercise and play or just chilling on the couch.

About: I have taken care of pets for family and friends and my own as well. I have bathed, fed,walked, played and gave medication to pets. Full time SAHM so much free time to care for your furry pets. Please take me into consideration, I am very excited to be able to get to know every fur baby stay inside unless needed to be walked or go play. Each furry friend is watched carefully. Their safety is my priority, try to be back inside by a certain time for both our safety. In my home theirs a clean environment

About: Animals have been at the heart of my life for as long as I can remember. Raised on a farm and on a pre-vet track from a young age, I’ve spent decades caring for animals of all kinds—from house pets to livestock to wildlife. Starting at 14, I volunteered in local vet clinics and wildlife rehab centers, gaining hands-on experience with everything from cats and dogs to peacocks, horses, goats, snakes, fish, birds, and cattle. At UC Davis, I deepened my care skills while working at the world-renowned Vet Hospital, tending to cats and dogs during the swing shift. I also worked with campus goats, pigs, sheep, fish, cattle, and horses—and even fostered cats for the hospital. Now in my 30s, I’m an education professional and dedicated pet mom to both cats and dogs. I continue to care for friends’ and neighbors’ pets with the same compassion, attention, and responsibility that’s guided me my whole life. I’m certified in Cat & Dog CPR & First Aid, and Infant, Child, and Adult CPR/AED/First Aid, and have emergency care experience with animals large and small. I’m calm under pressure, reliable, and always communicate clearly—your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I'm currently taking a break from teaching, and being a full-time stay-at-home mama to my 3 year old daughter and 6 month old son. I have plenty of time to care for your furry family member. Please note that at this time, we are seeking families whose pets are comfortable around toddlers and babies. I have a fully fenced yard, and a park just around the corner from my house for those whose furry friends enjoy a stretch, walk, or playtime! I am comfortable using a crate, and we have plenty of floor room in the house (carpet and laminate) for them to lay down if they're not crate trained. We do not allow dogs on the furniture. Cats are allowed to wander the house. We are more than happy to put up child gates to keep your furry family member in certain areas of the house if they're prone to getting into things (such as stuffed animals for the kiddos... I mean really, a lot of doggie toys these days look so similar! I'd understand the misconception. lol) We're not afraid to be firm but kind if your family member needs set boundaries.

“Rachel was amazing! She was really nice and took such good care of my dog. She was flexible with my schedule too and helped make the day really easy for me.”
