Doggy Day Care in Altura

“We are ecstatic to have found this sitter! The reviews are so true. You can feel how much she cares for all the dogs that are in her care. Today was our first time and we will certainly be back. Our Frenchie loves her attention and company. So did not feel comfortable leaving her unattended for as long as I was going to be away today. Sitter allowed super last minute booking. Which I am extremely appreciative and will try my best not to do again. But so happy she did! Pepper rates the day 10/10 and enjoyed the new friends made. 🧡 see you soon!”

“This was our 1st experience of sitting with James. He instantly took Artie for a walk to get him accustomed to his dog, and cared for Artie 8 hours.”

“They were a great family... Viper was happy and excited... I will use them again while I am in town. Even when I come back to visit. If you are looking for a great place that you dog will enjoy this is it. They have a huge back yard which Viper really enjoyed. So if your fur baby loves the outdoors this the the right fit”

“Jennifer gave Roxie breakfast and dinner every day. I think my dog liked to play with kids and other dogs. They have a big yard, so she enjoyed in the yard. I think she had a good time there. I would like to use that dog care when we go to Rochester. Thank you very much!!”

“Diggs first sleep over and he had a blast. She was very friendly, shared plenty pics and took him with her for walks and car rides. Definitely will be using again.”

About: We’re a small-dog-loving, bilingual family with over 5 years of experience caring for pets—our own and others’. We are a multi-generational home, where i work from home and my retired parents stay active maintaining the household. This means we provide your dog with plenty of attention, routine updates, and one-on-one care. My parents enjoy taking dogs on daily walks around our quiet, safe neighborhood and sometimes even drives to the nearby park for longer strolls. We are attentive to individual feeding/dietary needs, and keeping the space clean and calm. We offer several quiet areas for resting, a secure backyard, and a 3-season porch perfect for shy or senior pups. Our 8-pound chihuahua enjoys other small dogs but also has her own space if needed. We follow your instructions closely and treat your pup like part of the family! =) Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. I work from home with regular breaks, and my retired, active parents help with walks and attention throughout the day. Our small dog goes out 3–4 times daily, and we can match your pet’s routine closely. We’re flexible most days except Wednesdays (no new drop offs this day, and pickups only after 8:30pm) and can provide weekend coverage three weekends a month. Preferred drop-off/pickup times are before 10am or after 4pm on weekdays, with advance notice for exceptions and flexible on weekends. Due to work my calendar and availability is up to date about two months in advance. **Dogs over 25 pounds will require meet and greet*** In our home, your dog will have safe, clean, and comfortable options based on their needs. We offer a fully fenced backyard with shade and toys, a 3-season porch for dogs who prefer quiet or indoor sun, and a temperature-controlled garage for extra space and calm. Our own small dog has her own area, ensuring your pet can relax whether they’re social or more independent.

“Megan did a wonderful job with my pup. He was worn out from playing all day and was definitely a happy pup. I will definitely have her dog sit again when needed!”

About: I have always been an avid animal-lover. From childhood into adulthood, I have owned and cared for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, small mammals, reptiles, birds & fish. My family & I currently share our home with two dogs, a bearded dragon, a Russian tortoise, & a ball python. I have several years of professional work experience in animal care (zoo, kennel care, walking, basic grooming) and wildlife / parks & recreation—both of which are relevant. I enjoy the outdoors and keeping all of our furry (& scaly) friends happy. I will board dogs, small mammals, reptiles & birds in my home! Upon request, I can do drop-in visits for cats or exotic animals within a 15 mile radius. I am currently a stay-at-home mom & so my schedule allows me to be at home majority of the time. If I need to leave the house, it’s never for more than a couple of hours. I have a large four-story home, which provides amble space for pets to play or to be separated if need be. I utilize crates for dogs who need or prefer it. Our yard is unfenced, so I use slip leads and tie-out cables for potty time.

“Krystal was very responsive and our dog was well taken care of for the day. If you drop off in the morning, stop at Cabin Coffee for a nice breakfast.”

“This was the first time that we have left our puppies (9 months and 9 weeks). Erica and family treated them so well and sent pictures and videos. Thanks so much for taking such good care of our babies 😊”

About: I have been surrounded by animals my entire life, and my love and respect for them is endless. Caring for pets is not just a responsibility for me—it’s something I truly enjoy. I love going for walks, playing, giving affection, and making sure every pet gets the care, attention, and love they deserve… and a little extra. Whether it’s keeping them active, comfortable, or simply happy, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m a medical doctor currently studying from my apartment in downtown to validate my degree in the U.S., so I spend most of my day at home. This gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pets. I love walking, taking dogs out for fresh air, and staying active—I exercise for about an hour each day and enjoy including furry friends in my routine. My own pets are in Colombia, and I miss them dearly, so all the love and care I have is ready to be shared with animals who need it. Your pet will receive my full attention, affection, and care. I live in a safe downtown apartment, enjoy taking regular walks, and will make sure your pet feels happy, secure, and loved as if they were my own. I can also follow any special care instructions to ensure their comfort and well-being.

About: I have had dogs in my life since the age of 3. I have fostered dogs waiting to be adopted while also caring for my own. I work fully remote during and have schedule flexibility which allows for great availability for dog walking, drop in visits, and doggy daycare at my home. My preference is to have an introduction visit with you and your pets prior to me visiting with them alone. During this time, I’ll learn about your routines and how you would like me to care for them. This also helps them see me as a trustworthy human!

“Sydney had a great time with Kirsten! She was happy to arrive and content when we picked her up. We will use Kirsten again.”

About: Growing up with a variety of animals really gave me the compassion and love I have for animals now. Also, it gave me the skill I need to be able to take care of and provide for the different species of animals there are out there. Mostly, it was dogs and cats but I do have experience in caring for hamsters and bunnies. I love to go walking/hiking just to be outside and getting fresh air so i have no problem going on walks. I’m completely comfortable with our furry friends being on my furniture, I know not everybody is but mi casa es su casa. I am a veterinarian technician with my A.A.S. degree and I plan to open up my own business one day whether it be a dog boarding place of my own or my very own shelter/rescue. Either way, this is my 5-10 year goal and his will help me achieve that. I work full time throughout the week. My evenings are available & so are most of my weekends. This month of August will be busy for me on the weekends though. I make sure they are comfortable & I treat them as if they are my own. I make sure they are happy while their person is gone.

“Michelle was amazing! My babies were so happy and had so much fun. She sent pics and videos and updates regularly, and the dogs warmed up to her well (and they’re picky!). I highly recommend Michelle!!!”
