Doggy Day Care in Altona

About: I have lived on a farm since born and have owned all types of animals! I currently work from home everyday so dogs are always with someone. I worked at my hometown vet clinic for over 8 years so very experienced with any species of animal! I have taken care of our clients animals and I have been fortunate that they have recommended me to others as well! I am very much an animal lover! I have experience taking care of farm animals such as horses, donkeys, goats, chickens, and even feral barn cats to domestic animals in the home. I own horses, chickens, goats, and dogs of my own. I am known to be very realiable and flexible with any schedule! I am able to meet anyone’s demands if needed and will care for your pet as if my own! I work from home and am with my dogs at almost all times! Always am available to take time to play and help reduce energy levels! I have a fenced yard and free roaming pasture for high energy dogs! My dogs love to play with others and love to run around and engage in playing.

About: I have been around animals my whole life. Our pets have always been our “family” and play a huge role in our lives. I’m the person family comes to when they are going out of town because they know we will love their pets like they do! Experience with bathing, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and clipping as well. I am a stay-at-home Mom so I am available 24/7 and have the ability to walk dogs, let dogs out to potty/play as often as requested or wanted by the pups! Pets have free rein of the whole house and can come in and out as they please. We have a pretty nicely sized fenced in yard and 26 acres to go for a walk on! Pets are allowed in the bed with us and can be on furniture as well.

About: I love all animals. I rescue any critter in need that passes my way. I've had cats, dogs, fish, lizards, hamsters, cows and chickens. I have cared for friend's pets on many occasions and it truly feels like I should be the one paying for the cuddles. ;) I am a stay at home mom so I am available to work around schedules. I have 5 animal loving kids who enjoy all the new faces to play with. There are acres for dogs to run on a leash on our property and we just added 2 large fenced in areas for them to run leash free. They can visit the creek and relax in the shade. Pups will be kenneled at night or if I need to leave to run errands. I have open kennels here available. If your pet is not used to being kenneled and is fully potty trained, then they are fine roam the house.

About: I have a variety of experience with animals. I am happy to work with them. They truly are my therapy. I may not be the best people person, but I will become your pets new best friend! From dog shows, 6 years of rescue work, to starting my own pet boarding and sitting service! I have been taking care of and working with animals for much of my life. I have a degree in the medical field. I have attended Canine Care workshops put on by the Missouri Department of Agriculture as well as Sheltering conferences. I am Active and most importantly, your pet will be a part of the pack, treated like one of my own while they stay in my home. Just take it my daughters word for it. She always says that animals just love me, sometimes it really ticks her off! I work from home almost daily, but if I did have a life…there is always someone to help care for your pet until I return and both of my daughters have been helping me foster and find homes for all of my rescues. They both know proper ways to treat animals while they are with us. I do have a very big home with lots of space, enclosed front porch area, big property with acreage, fenced-in areas as well as not. I do rotations If I am unable to supervise pets together or if one isn't so friendly, allowing turns for each dog to be outside, in the home, and even sleep in my bed! I am familiar and trained in giving animal introductions so that your pet may play with others, unless you prefer otherwise.

“Rebecca did a phenomenal job! She treated my pup like one of her own. Will use her everytime I need a sitter or overnight.”

About: I have been pet sitting since before my children were born and they are now grown. I am a young retiree with lots of time, but I am also active enough to keep up with even the most energetic babies. Most pets do better in their own environment and routine. Advanced notice is required to prior to gather all the information necessary to ensure a smooth process. Spoiling your pet with all the attention they require is my top priority. With house sitting services, you have the added bonus of having your home looked after as well. When appropriate, I also offer boarding services in my home one client at a time. ***My dog will stay with me on all house sitting bookings*** I adjust my schedule to your meet your babies needs. Your babies come first, my schedule comes second. I am retired, so I spend the vast majority of the day with them. During the meet and greet, I gather all the information needed in order to keep their routine as close as possible to their current routine.

“Kassidy did a wonderful job watching my dog Sarge! She sent me some super cute pics during his stay, and he was tired out by the time I picked him up. I’ll definitely have him stay here again in the future!”

About: I’ve owned pets my entire life. From larger breeds to small, I’ve owned them all. We currently have a two year old female Goldendoodle that is super spoiled and friendly, and 10 month old female cat that is also super sweet and friendly! They compete our family! I’ve also cared for family and friends’s pets when needed, so I have lots of experience taking care of other peoples fur babies! I currently work from home, so I have lots of flexibility in my day to tend to a dogs daily needs. I have availability through the week and most weekends as well! I have a fenced in yard and one friendly Goldendoodle that would love to entertain a furry guest! I can crate if desired but for the most part your dog will be treated like family. Our dog is our big baby and spends her day around us and not kenneled throughout the day or night. We used to use her crate at night when she was a puppy and potty training, but she no longer needs it, so she typically sleeps in a room with one of our children. We can try to best accommodate your routine requests to keep your pet feeling right at home!

About: My husband and I currently live in Olathe and I work in the Overland Park area. We are huge animal lovers and have more than 6 years of Extra-large breed dog ownership and care. We have had (2) St. Bernard’s and a Labrador. So it is safe to say that I am a confident large-dog walker/caretaker. I also spent my high school and college years farm sitting, which consisted of caring for multiple types of animals at one time, most very large! It is my goal to make you feel confident that not only is your pet given adequate exercise and care, but that they are cared for safely and with the same standards that I have for my own animals. Cats are also more than welcome! Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily routine, as I work from home and am present all day. This flexibility allows me to provide continuous attention and care to your pets, ensuring they receive the companionship and supervision they need. I can easily accommodate feeding schedules, regular walks, playtime, and any special care instructions throughout the day. This constant presence helps maintain a stable environment for your pets, contributing to their well-being and happiness. Caring for pets in my home or my clients’ homes involves maintaining their routines, providing regular meals, administering medications if needed, and ensuring they receive plenty of exercise and affection. I also keep their living spaces clean and safe, engage them with stimulating activities, and monitor their health and behavior closely. Consistent communication with pet owners ensures I meet all specific needs and preferences, providing peace of mind and excellent care for their beloved pets.

About: Hello! My name is Courtney! I have a five year old Australian Shepard and Boxer mix K9 named Champ. I also have a 2 year old American Pitbull K9 named Hulk. They are very playful and love friends to play with. I am open to keeping pet(s) over night, checking on them at your place, walking them, bathing them, taking them to the groomer or other locations, or just watching them during the day, and giving them the full attention that they need!

I am an online student studying to become a Veterinarian, and I am currently working as a Veterinary Technician. So, my schedule is pretty open. I understand that every pet has different needs. I will assure with you before caring for your pet(s) if they can be around my dog, eat certain foods, be outside for long periods of time, should stay in a kennel or run free, where to leave them if I was to leave the house, etc.. I am definitely willing to work with you so that your loved one can get the care that you want!
