Doggy Day Care in Athol

“Paul is one of a kind when it comes to his dogs and what he does. He is extremely well versed, knowledgeable and takes the time necessary for each dog, more so than any boarding/daycare place I have experienced. My dog is very high energy and has a lot of anxiety. He did so well for his drop in and his day with Paul and the pack. So glad to have him taking care of Merritt! His love and passion for what he does definitely shows!”

“Heather is very flexible and we felt comfortable leaving Teddy with her to go to a concert. We were out a little later than anticipated, but she was fine with that. Also, sent some pictures of Teddy playing with her dogs, which gave me real peace of mind that he was having fun and wasn’t lonely.”

“John did a amazing job with gizmo. he also responded back to my messages quickly as possible. also he sent me pictures of gizmo and stay in touch letting me know how gizmo was doing .I really recommend John he was also polite and understanding .when it came to him meeting gizmo the day before he was going to doggy sit him .also I will be using John as my dog sitter when I need it .thank u John”

“It was obvious to me that she was having a real good time with not only the other dogs but the children as well which makes me happy to know that she was well taken care of. Thank you so much for taking good care of my fur baby”

“I cannot thank Michael enough for going above and beyond today for taking simba literally 6 days after surgery, keeping a close eye on him, and watching him for me so that I could too work on the holiday. He accommodated my hours, and was kind enough to spend this family holiday not only with his family but including simba as one of his own family. I can honestly say I was at ease today with Michael watching simba today and was able to focus on my work.. thank you the continued reassurance throughout the day letting me know simba was ok and the many pictures and videos I rec’d!!!! Thank you for being there for me when I truly had no one else to rely upon!!!”

“Another great stay for Blade with Haley!”

“Jessica and her daughter were fabulous hosts!! First off where they live is phenomenal!! It is so green and surrounded with wilderness. Loads of beautiful hiking areas and a nice big house!! They both come across as really gentle giving kind hearted people who are great with animals!! Bruno had a great time with them and was ready to go to sleep when we got home last night!! I would definitely recommend them and plan to use them again in the future!!”

“Amanda is amazing!! There is absolutely no better family to leave your cherished pets with!!! My kitty was homed and loved as if he was their own! Highly recommend Amanda for any of your boarding needs!”

“Gianna was great with my dog. She communicated well and was very flexible. I was visiting my son at school and needed doggy daycare so we could see the school and enjoy the local area.”

“Norika has a genuine love for animals and is always interacting with pets. She’s reliable, patient and knowledgeable. She’s compassionate and respectful, just the epitome of a true animal lover.”

About: I have had my own pets for at least 10 years, but have also had a lot of experience caring for rescues, farm animals, and caged animals. I have two rescue pups and 2 cats that are my babies. I understand how difficult it can be to leave them behind while you are away. I will care for your animals exactly as I do my own. I have experience working with reactive dogs, and am comfortable handling them. My two rescues both have a history of reactivity, and I have worked closely with trainers to help curb their behaviors. I am patient and understanding. I currently foster dogs with a local dog rescue. Not only do we provide a temporary home, but we also help with basic obedience and house manners. I’m also experienced in giving medications as needed. I went to a vocational high school where I studied veterinary science. We cared for several cows, donkeys, chickens, and sheep. As well as managed a variety a small cage animals, hamsters, gerbils, chinchillas, ferrets, etc. This is also where I learned some basic grooming care. I currently work from home and have autonomy and flexibility to make my own schedule. I can stay in your home or visit several times a day to make sure pet is getting walked and some extra love throughout the day. I’m also available in the evenings and on weekends. I have two friendly dogs who are used to sharing their space with fosters. My cats are very dog savvy and stay up and off the floor if needed. I do crate train and can keep up with any schedule you already have in place. While I have a small backyard for quick potty breaks, we are very close to several walking paths.

“Wouldn’t trust my dog with anyone other than Adrianna! She treats my dog like one of her own pups and keeps me updated whenever she has her. My dog always comes home exhausted after a stay with Adrianna due to all their adventures and exercise she gives them!”

“Theresa is a loving and caring dog lover. She understands dog personalities, she likes to go for long walks, she has access to open spaces and will treat your dog as her own.”

“It is my pleasure to let you know about Margaret's love for animals. She has cared for and nutured my pets over the years. Minnie , my current dog is sweet and also very active. It is assuring to know that my pet caregiver has the energy to keep up with her. Margaret is also very intuitive. My pup is not very verbal when it comes to her needs. Minnie speaks with her eyes. Margaret has learned what each expression means. I have watched her with her pets and other along the way. I can say she is a kindred spirit.”

“Janice took such great care of my dog Laila. She sent me lots of photos and updates and it was clear how happy Laila was there. I highly recommend Janice and will book with her again next time I need a dog sitter.”

“Giannina is amazing with my dog! He LOVES her and I'm so happy to have someone that not only loves animals but is so responsible with caring for him - shes is truly an angel from dog heaven!”

About: I've worked at a doggy daycare for the past few months. I've learned how to train puppies and basic grooming skills like clipping nails, brushing, and bathing dogs. For this job, I've been able to take some of the animals home for a few nights at a time to give them some family socialization time! I've taken care of friends animals in the past, going over every few hours to clean up, take care of bathroom breaks, and making sure they're fed and loved. I recently was able to get my very own puppy and she's a joy to have, so I'm excited for the opportunity to meet even more animals and be able to take care of them! I work full-time at the moment, and my schedule varies from week to week. That will be changing very soon and then, hopefully, I'll have more availability! But, anytime that I'm not working on my days off or days I'm scheduled I'll be available for any caretaking needed. I have a young puppy, she gets along great with other animals and would love to have more company! My yard is very big, but is not fenced in. I could 100% crate a dog if it's needed, otherwise, the dog will get a lot of playtime in/outside! If I'm visiting/staying at a home for caretaking, I'd make sure any messes were cleaned thoroughly, and that the animals got as much play time and exercise as they wanted.
