Doggy Day Care Alma

“We had an outstanding experience with Erika. She really went the extra mile in being prepared, communicating well with us and giving Ruby a lot of exercise, as well as companionship with her dog. Highly recommended.”

“Thank you so so much for being patient with little ball of anxiety. I am so glad Oaks liked it. I highly highly recommend Valerie. Thank you also for keeping me in the loop with how she was doing, it helped me :)”

“I appreciated Claire's thoughtful intake process, her speed at replying, and her feedback from my girl's visit. Claire clearly cares about dogs and facilitating doggie-people relationships. I recommend her and look forward to booking future stays with her.”

“We had to make a couple of changes to the times and dates of our dog sitting sessions. Diane was extremely accommodating and did a really nice job of spending some one on one time with our dog, who can get a little anxious when we leave him. Thank you Diane.”

Joseph L.

“Ying is absolutely fantastic! He took great care of our dog, making sure he had lots of exercise and affection and treats! He sent lots of videos and pictures during the day so we knew he was in good hands. We are very picky about who we trust with our dog and Ying is top notch! We have already booked another day with him. Thank you, Ying!”

Robin B.

“Howser thoroughly enjoyed his time with Angie and her pups! It's so comforting to know he gets to be with a true dog lover when I need to be away from him.”

Jenna B.

“Tessa and her family are so wonderful with Ruger. He enjoys his time with them so much. He loves playing with Duke and any other dogs that are staying with them. He comes home a happy and tired boy. So grateful to have such a great place to leave him.”

Sharon F.

“They made everything so easy and super flexible. I've done rover in the last and I really appreciated Joshua's willingness to work with my schedule and his experience with dogs and my dogs needs. She's more shy and can have sensitivities with her space and he made sure to get to know her a bit to keep her happy. Thank you!”

Maddie C.

“Jennifer and Josh were very accommodating and flexible with my situation, and took great care of Angel while she was there! As this was my first time using Rover, and the fact that I was visiting from out of state, there was some natural trepidation to leaving my pupper with someone. But given their years of experience, and updates/photos throughout the day, I knew my girl was in great hands and I didn’t have a single worry or concern. I can recommend their service wholeheartedly!”

Nicholas T.

“Denise was the best with our little yorkie while we were in town for a graduation. She took care of him during the day and he was calmer than usual and happy! Thank you again Denise!”

Veronica R.

“Michelly was kind, welcoming, and flexible. Lavinia had a wonderful time with her and the other pups, and we will definitely be signing up with Michelly any other time we need a daycare date!”

Annalee R.

“I couldn't ask for a better sitter for my dog Juniper. She felt right at home in Jamie's house and with her family. They gave her lots of attention throughout the day and even took her to hang out with the neighbors' dogs. Jamie sent me updates and lots of pictures throughout the day and that really helped to ease my anxiety while at work. 10/10 would recommend to everyone for dog sitting and I will definitely be bringing Juniper back to Jamie in the future!!!”

About: Hi there! My journey in professional animal care began early, shadowing my mother in her animal behavior and care business. I gained hands-on experience with a wide range of species—including dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, cattle, goats, and rabbits—which shaped my understanding of how to meet animals where they are: emotionally, behaviorally, and physically. While I am not a licensed dog trainer, I’ve spent much of my life developing a thoughtful, intuitive approach to animal care. My professional background includes extensive training in wildlife handling and care techniques. During college, I volunteered at the Cascades Raptor Center in Eugene, assisting with the daily care and rehabilitation of birds of prey. Over the years, I’ve also provided pet care for friends and family, building trust through reliability, compassion, and a deep respect for each animal’s unique needs. Now, I’m excited to offer my experience and dedication to the local community. I’m Fear Free Certified for dogs, and while I’m not certified for cats or other animals, I apply many of the same principles across species: 🧘‍♀️ Creating low-stress environments 🐾 Respecting boundaries and body language 🛏️ Offering comfort, routine, and enrichment 🐕‍🦺 Using gentle handling and positive reinforcement In 2024, I worked with shelter animals at Greenhill Humane Society, where I received extensive behavioral training and advanced to independently care for dogs and support enrichment for cats. That experience helped me develop a deep understanding of animal behavior, stress signals, and how to build trust with pets from all backgrounds. What I offer: 🐶🐱 Drop-in visits, walks, feeding, litter care & medication support 🧶 Enrichment activities tailored to your pet’s personality 📸 Daily updates with photos and notes 🐾 Experience with seniors, shy pets, and those with special needs Whether your pet is playful, reserved, or somewhere in between, I bring calm energy, reliable care, and a genuine love for animals to every visit. Thank you for considering me — as someone who has also used Rover for my own pets, I know it can be daunting to find the perfect fit for your furbabies. Pet care is a natural part of my daily rhythm. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Whether it’s a midday walk, a drop-in visit, or extended overnight care, I’m able to adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs without the constraints of a traditional 9–5 job. Because I’m home-based, I can offer: 🐕 Timely potty breaks and walks 🐈 Calm, low-stress drop-ins for cats and small pets 🐾 Flexible scheduling for last-minute requests Whether your pet needs a quick check-in or more involved care, I’m able to integrate it seamlessly into my day, ensuring they get the attention and comfort they deserve. I currently do not offer in-home boarding, but I provide personalized care in your pet’s own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. Whether it's a quick drop-in, a longer visit, or multiple check-ins throughout the day, I tailor each session to your pet’s routine and emotional needs. Because I work from home, my schedule is flexible—I can accommodate midday visits, early mornings, or evening care depending on your pet’s habits. I focus on creating a calm, low-stress experience by respecting their space, reading their body language, and offering enrichment that suits their personality. Your pet gets: 🐾 Familiar surroundings and routines 🧘‍♀️ Low-stress care with gentle handling 🐕 Walks, playtime, feeding & medication support 📸 Updates so you stay connected I treat every visit as a chance to build trust and make your pet’s day better. Whether they’re playful, shy, or need extra patience, I’m here to meet them where they are.

“So many good things to say! This is the first time I've needed to hire a dog sitter and I am so happy. They sent me lots of pictures and videos, totally understood her needs and took amazing care of my fur baby. They genuinely enjoyed spending time with her and made me feel very comfortable. 100% I would recommend them.”

Sarah C.

“Cassie was a wonderful host for my pup! Mahogany got along with Tilly like an old friend, and Cassie sent me pictures, videos, and updates consistently throughout the day. Their house is basically across the street from one of Hog’s favorite dog parks and he got to spend a bunch of time there! He was happy and tired after a day full of adventure! Highly recommended!”

Zachary G.

“Viridiana was able to watch our puppy on short notice and was flexible with our times! Penny came home sleepy and ready to snuggle. Thank you Viridiana!”

Jennifer H.

“Laura, Lawrence & Lilah took wonderful care of Bella. She had never stayed or been around other dogs. Bella and Lilah were friends right off. They sent me many pictures which made my vacation less stressful. Bella was very comfortable there, it showed in their pictures. I would give them a 5 plus 🌟”

Pam T.

“We were very happy having our dog Rita stay with Crystal and Joel. Rita is timid and, during our meet and greet, they both took their time getting to know her. They have a good understanding of different dog temperaments and which dogs get along well for group interaction. On Rita’s first day visit Crystal took time to introduce her to other dogs slowly. Rita came home happy and tired. We’ll be booking additional play days and an extended boarding time with them. Joel and Crystal are highly recommended!”

Bruce B.

“Sabrina was extra thorough when I booked with her. She made sure she had all of my dogs medical information and various other things. They sent me a bunch of photos of her throughout the day and I have no doubt my dog will feel at home when I have to board her with them! She came home and was exhausted, which was a nice break for me because my dog is hig energy and a lot of work!”

Bri S.

“She was great! She keeps you updated throughout the day with pictures. My pup absolutely loved it over there. Will definitely book with her again.”
