Doggy Day Care Ardwick

About: **IMPORTANT ** Summer schedule active now. This means more couch snuggles and max TLC! Hello there! I’ve been a sitter for the past 6 years. I’ve mostly worked with small-médium sized dogs. I know with busy schedules a little more help is a big help! I’m here to support you and your furry loved one during these moments. Heading out of town for the weekend? I can help😊. My home is smoke free and safe for your furry friend. If they are more comfortable at home I can come to you also. **IMPORTANT - If you were a previous client of mine and need to book please text me even if you do not see any availability. ** My pet sitting rover schedule will be part time. I am available usually during the weekday evenings and some weekends for extended stays, or walks as needed. I do not work from home and will only be able to give potty breaks 6-8 hrs. I have an open space grass community area for walking and a smoke free home. I do not have any additional pets in my home. If I’m working from your home I will respect and adhere to your rules for your home.

“Crystal is so amazing!!! She is patient, thoughtful and caring. My Junior was well taken care and I felt comfortable with leaving him with Crystal. I’ve already booked my next appointment for Junior and I know there will be many more appointments in the future. Crystal is the best!!!”

“Simply phenomenal! This was the first time we've had to leave Ollie for the whole day so we wanted to be sure he was left in good hands. I've been on the sitter side many times before but this was the first time we've left one of our dogs with someone other than family. We could not be happier or more grateful! Catie was extremely communicative, gave multiple picture and video updates, and Ollie clearly had a blast playing with Catie's dogs! So glad to have found such a loving, attentive sitter we can feel so comfortable leaving our pup with :)”

About: I am an animal lover and have had various types of animal companions throughout my lifetime. Currently I am the Farm operator for our Urban farm. We raise ducks and chickens but they are always separate from visiting pups. Only within view for their entertainment and relaxation here on the farm. Yes we are located nearby in the city 🥰 I have a quiet understanding with most animals that I come across and enjoy their company. I have sat for many of my friends and family and am the go to person when someone needs to go out and about but cannot take their pet family members. I am currently focusing on dog sitting and have dedicate my time to being available to meet as many fur babies as I can in the next couple months. I have a room dedicated to pet care which has a greenhouse feel with plants but is fully enclosed in the home. It has a doggy door which leads out to our fully fenced back yard and large dog run with a insulated dog house inside. I also have a wireless camera on the areas which allow me to make sure that everyone is ok at all times. Please note that I no longer accept large breed dogs at this time aside from past clients. I am currently focusing my time on pet sitting. I am always also checking in via webcam on the pups wherever I am. Dog personalities are so amazing and fun to see. I have a double fenced yard to keep your pets safe. Lots of open dog crates and bedding for snoozing. A dog door that allows them some freedom and a large dedicated outdoor dog area for doggie playtime. They also always have access to fresh cool water.

“Murray and Monty had another wonderful day at “Uncle Jeff and Dan’s” house! It’s only been a few times we’ve left them and they already can’t wait to go! It has been an amazing experience finding them, because we know they’re safe, happy and well cared for and we never have to worry. Thanks again for everything.”

“Alder and Kathy took good care of my dog Nalu, it took us longer than we wanted to leave the concert to come back and pick up our boy but they were very understanding.”

“Kuma looked like he had the best time with Irma! I definitely appreciate her taking care of him on short notice for a day trip I had planned. She sent updates of Kuma throughout the day. I would definitely recommend and revisit!”

“I appreciate all of Denisha’s efforts to try to accommodate my dog’s needs. It did not turn out working out but that’s due to my dog’s own personal special needs and needing more individualized special care. Denisha was very patient and honest during my dog’s care. Some sitters do it for the financial gain but I could really tell that Denisha genuinely cares for the dogs that she sits. She was responsive and provided frequent updates/pictures. I really am thankful that she cared about my dog’s comfort and tried to accommodate her needs. I would definitely recommend Denisha!”

“Baja was responsive and took good care of my husky at her apartment while I was away. She was willing to meet me early in the morning, which I appreciated.”

“Danielle is great with Diggy. She keeps me updated during his stay and also send pictures. I truly appreciate her in taking care of my fur baby. Thank you, Danielle and you are greatly appreciated!!!”

About: I have a large grassy fenced backyard, and I have grown up with dogs ever since the age of 2. I have 10 years of experience caring for pets of all ages, personalities, and energy levels. I'm experienced with potty training, daily exercise, maintaining routines, administering medication, and caring for senior and special-needs pets. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I strive to make every visit enriching and enjoyable. I care for shy, low-energy, and active dogs, providing personalized care through exercise, enrichment, basic training, and plenty of attention. Whether your dog loves playing fetch, practicing basic commands, exploring new walking routes, or simply getting extra attention and companionship. I strive to make every visit enjoyable 😉. I offer 24/7 availability, Available Monday through Sunday 11 AM–1 AM, with a flexible schedule. I have extra availability throughout the summer before returning to community college in the fall. I'm happy to schedule a meet-and-greet before booking. My home is near a pond, walking trails, and two parks, offering plenty of opportunities for exercise, enrichment, and enjoyable walks.

“Rita was absolutely amazing with my dog, Natalie! Natalie can be reactive and typically needs time to adjust to new environments and people, but Rita went above and beyond to make sure she felt comfortable and supported. She took the time to really understand Natalie’s needs, triggers, and what makes her happy, which made such a difference. I really appreciated the regular photo updates and how communicative she was throughout—checking in, asking thoughtful questions, and keeping me reassured the entire time. It’s clear Rita genuinely cares and puts in the extra effort, and because of that, Natalie had a great experience. I’m so grateful and would absolutely book with her again. Thank you, Rita!”

“Julie took good care of my timid pup Sophie. She sent some pics during the day, and Sophie seemed happy and comfortable when I picked her up. Julie is also very easy to communicate with - a plus. I'll be using her again to care for Sophie.”

About: I’ve been the designated dog person my whole life: the friend everyone calls, the one who volunteered on campus, the neighbor who actually means it when she says “I’ll watch them.” I’ve been caring for dogs for over 10 years and my Rover clients kept coming back because their dogs genuinely loved it here. I treat every pup like my own. This is their home away from home 💜 Pet care isn’t something I fit into my day, it IS my day. I have a flexible, open schedule which means your dog gets real attention, real walks, and someone who’s actually present. No rushing, no clock-watching. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and always has a furry resident ready to make new friends. When I’m in your home I treat it, and your pet with the same care I’d want for my own. Your dog isn’t just safe here, they’re comfortable.

About: I've always had dogs growing up in southern Virginia. I have taken care of my own pets for the past 10 years, I have a dog and a cat (that acts like a dog). My dog is not spayed, so I have experience with dogs in heat. If your dog is not neutered, I have experience monitoring behavior and separating the animals. My parent's dog is not neutered. As a loving parent of a goldendoodle, pet care is a big part of my daily routine. I am able to work remotely on most days so I can be flexible with my dog walking schedule. Most mornings start with fresh water and fresh food and a walk. I usually walk my dog again during lunch and then after the work day is over in the evening. I understand dog/cat behavior and know when to separate the animals. Moreover if you dog is crate trained, I will use that as their safe space whenever they may be anxious. If possible, please leave an item from home with your scent.

“Great rover definitely would book with them if I lived in the same area. Nala was tired every time after I picked her up. Stephanie and her husband did great with nala 5 star!!”

“My Scottish terrier puppy had an awesome daycare stay with Kris and his family while I put in long hours at work. He came home happy and exhausted, and when we arrived in the morning, my dog raced towards Kris’ front door excited to spend the day there. Kris was flexible, accommodating and friendly. I highly recommend him!”
