Doggy Day Care in Artondale

About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, play with, and bathe their pets, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including energetic puppies and sweet senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’m attentive, dependable, and happy to stick to your pet’s routine so they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I love making time to give animals attention, exercise, and companionship. I’m flexible with drop-ins, walks, and sitting, and I do my best to accommodate your pet’s normal schedule so things feel familiar and stress-free. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to provide updates and photos so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take time to learn their routine, needs, and personality so they feel secure and cared for. I’m attentive during walks, careful with doors and leashes, and respectful of your home and space. I follow feeding instructions closely, keep water fresh, and make sure pets get plenty of love, play, and supervision while in my care.

About: Former mental-health professional who is happily shifting my career from mental health & behavioral health counseling to full-time animal care—because honestly, dogs have always been my favorite therapy clients! I fully understand fear, trauma, and behavior at a deep level. For years I have been the go to Foster for local rescues for complex medical and emotional needs dogs. For nearly 15 years I’ve volunteered and fostered with local rescues and shelters, helping many dogs find calm, confidence, and their forever homes. I hold canine CPR & first-aid certification, I have extensive training in dog behavior and positive-reinforcement techniques, and I’m currently studying for my CPDT-KA professional dog trainer certification. When your dog stays with me, they are literally the only guest in my home. They have full run of the house and fully fenced backyard, sleep wherever they feel most secure (many choose right in bed with me), and receive gentle, constant companionship in an ultra-low-stress environment. I work from home, have no children present, no other animals and I am the only person in my home. My fully fenced, spacious backyard gives them plenty of room to zoom, play, or just sunbathe while I’m never more than a room away. Canine CPR certified and comfortable with injections, fluids, seizure meds, tubes — whatever your dog needs. No kids, no pets, no chaos—just peace and snuggles Your dog lives like family: free roam, couch cuddles, my bed if wanted, constant company, daily yard play, fresh meals, meds, love—never crated or alone.

“Luisa was excellent! We got tons of updates, pictures and our pup was so well cared for throughout the day. We were so grateful for her. Incredibly flexible, patient, and kind. Highly recommend!!”

“Jennifer is amazing- a total dog whisperer. Our dog is always a bit nervous around new people and in new settings. He took instantly to Jennifer and was much more relaxed at the end of the day when I picked him up. We’ve worked with Jennifer several times now and she’s been responsive, incredibly reliable, and communicative. I’d definitely recommend her to any of my family or friends.”

“Kelly is amazing with Chloe! She is very thoughtful in handling new pups meeting each other. I love the updates I get of Chloe. I highly recommend Kelly!”

“Thank you, Rose. Gaia came home absolutely relaxed, I could really tell she enjoyed her day with you. I loved all the pictures of my baby throughout the day. You were so consistent. My dog doesn't take easy to new people or dogs, so to hear that she felt calm and confident enough with you to be part of the pack really is proof of how great you are at what you do. Thank you so much!”

“Yoshi enjoys his stay with Jennifer. Early morning drop-off means he gets to play with her children and afternoon park walk with them is a nice way to end his stay. Lots of photos and I can tell by his big grin that he had an awesome time. I am extremely happy finding Jennifer. More visits to come.”

About: I've spent a few different winters working for a doggy daycare where you need to arrange a schedule for each dog to go walk and go play. Some days we would have forty plus dogs all needing care and attention. I've also volunteered a substantial amount on many organic farms and working with all sorts of animals, learning how to read different animal personalities and manage their care I currently work from home and on the side have picked up many gigs and different short term services to fill the gaps in my schedule. Dog visits and walks are one of my favorite ways to break the day up and make it less boring. Feeding according to owners schedule and multiple short walks each day. I own a small property surrounded by virgin forest where dogs love to go and explore or for more fragile dogs can walk/play around small yards or dog friendly parks. I will always respect a clients home as a client and will never take advantage of the trust I am given for these type of jobs

“Alyssa has been nothing but amazing! I first booked her for dog walking while we were out of town for a week and our friend staying with Sully worked long hours. I received multiple pictures everyday of their walking adventures; you could tell Sully really enjoyed his walks with her. Today he had his first day of daycare at Alyssa’s home and again I received multiple pictures and updates on how he was doing with her dogs. He has since come home and has been relaxing at my side. We are going to do weekly daycare with Alyssa and will definitely book her for pet sitting or walking when we are out of town again!! I cannot recommend her enough!!”

“Molly has been amazing to my girl! She hosts her daily for doggy daycare with her crew of dogs and Finley fits right in. Throughout the day, Molly sends pictures to update me & even goes above and beyond by dropping Finley off home on the nights I work late. I am ecstatic that Finley gets to socialize with some furry friends during the day and I don’t have to worry about her while I’m working. I highly recommend Molly as she is passionate in caring for dogs and is very accommodating with her services!”

About: Dog Daycare is Mon-Fri, 7:30-3:30. I send photo pupdates and shuttle dogs home between 3:30-4:30pm. 🚙 I can comfortably board dogs up to 3 weeks and make sure they still have a loved and happy time. 🧡 I’ve been working with cats & dogs since 2004 and would love to fill your best friend’s day with their favorite fun activities! :-) I start my dog walks and drop in cat care visits as early as sunrise. And, I say goodnight to my last customers by evening. From the moment I step through your door, I am happy to follow special feeding instructions, play their favorite games or take a neighborhood walk.

“Dog dream house places to sniff wander make friends and be loved!”

“Great day for the dogs, we received pictures and were kept up to date how the girls were doing. We were late picking them up but James is very accommodating, would love to book with him again.”

“Jill was amazing!!!we needed the sitter for our pups in the last minute. I’m so worry to leave my pups especially Blue with someone new with no time to read the review of that person. However, Jill made my worrying lower by sent me a lot of pictures and videos. I felt so comfortable to leave my pups with her from that point. We will rebook with Jill again and can’t say enough how grateful that we found her. Thank you so much Jill for take a good care of my pups😍😍”
