Doggy Day Care in Aurora

About: I’ve had and cared for my own dogs most of my life, and now that I’m retired and live alone, I truly enjoy meeting and spending time with new pups. I love getting to know all their unique personalities—it’s one of the best parts of what I do! Their company and the feeling of being needed keep me young, and I genuinely enjoy having someone to care for. I’ve been with Rover on and off for over 5 years, occasionally taking breaks due to health reasons, but my love and passion for animals has never changed. I’m always happy to send updates and photos while you’re away, if you’d like. I do have a small chiweenie named Bella who is also a senior citizen. She’s sweet, quiet, and doesn’t have an aggressive bone in her chunky little body. She’s never had any issues with other dogs—even larger ones—and is happy to share her space. Rest assured, I’ll care for your baby as if they were my own. 🐾❤️ I’m available full-time and very flexible with scheduling, since I no longer work. I’m happy to provide care at whatever time or date works best for you—just give me about three days’ notice so I can plan accordingly. From time to time, I do watch my son’s three grand-pups, but I always try to block those dates out in advance so there’s no overlap or confusion. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my top priority! I do want to be fully transparent—I live in a trailer in a quiet trailer park, which unfortunately isn’t an option to select on Rover (they only allow “home,” “apartment,” or “farm”). While my neighborhood might seem a little rough around the edges, I promise it’s much friendlier than it looks. All of my neighbors are senior citizens and truly some of the kindest people you’ll ever meet. My best friend lives next door and helps keep an eye on my little one if I ever need to step out for errands or groceries, so your dog will always be safe and looked after. I also have a fully fenced-in backyard and typically leave the back door open so dogs can go in and out as they please. That said, if you prefer your pup stays inside and is only let out for potty breaks, I’m more than happy to follow your routine. Your dog’s comfort and safety are always my top priorities. 🐾❤️

About: My first pet was a black lab when I was 5 years old. Ever since then, I’ve owned a few kinds of animals. My first sitting/boarding experience was when I was 18. I took care of two Rottweilers and one chocolate lab for a year until my friend got her own place. I have two black labs here at home. A male named Jefe (Boss) and a female named Lovey. They're sweethearts and have been great with every dog they’ve come across. Your dogs will be well taken care of. Puppies, elderly, and every doggo in between! Typically, I’m only available afternoons, evenings, and weekends, but my schedule is open right now. I’m home every day of the week doing homework and attending my online classes :) Your pet will be staying in my home (minimal furniture and very few things to knock over) or in my fenced-in backyard. My neighborhood has sidewalks that I like to stroll on, and we have two parks nearby. The only other person living with me is my girlfriend, and I have two black labs with their own indoor living space. My dogs can be kept in their room and outdoors if your visit requires it. :)

“I would like to give her a rating of more than five stars. Even after taking care of my rambunctious puppy, she described her as "sweet." Moreover—despite it being our very first meeting—she listened earnestly to my various requests. She is a truly trustworthy person.”

“Thank you, Dustin for being so communicative and friendly! I can tell Gypsy had a blast at daycare! I loved receiving pics and vids of her throughout the day😊 I will absolutely be dropping Gypsy by for more time with ya’ll when we find ourselves up this way again!”

About: I've had a dog in my family all my life. They truly are our best friends. They deserve the best care, love, and attention we can give. I'm currently retired, so I have an open schedule. I am reasonably flexible and should be able to work with most client's pet's special needs. I have a big yard with open surrounding pasture. Currently, I don't have closed fencing. I let my dog, Duke, go outside without leash under my supervision. As is dogs nature, I like to allow him his sniffing time. Also, he loves to burn off energy playing keep away with his favorite toys/sticks. He is amiable to other dog friends. He is crate trained and there would be a crate available, if needed, for a friend's visit.

About: I’ve taken care of animals since the young age of 10 and have always been an animal lover of all animals and have owned several dogs. I have always trained my own from potty training, crate training, to shaking hands, and have always done amazing with them. I’ve rescued several animals and strays. I absolutely love all fur babies and enjoy taking them on hikes and would love to take your fur baby on a hike or to play fetch. I work a full time job Monday-Wednesday with having a very short work day on Thursdays. I always have the spare time throughout my off days and will be able to take good care of your fur babies at all times. I have a huge yard with one fur baby that could keep yours company. My fur baby is friendly and would love to have a play date. I also can easily crate your animal if i ever needed to do so.

“Macy was wonderful with my babies! She made drop off and pick up extremely easy. She had two dogs that mine played with all day long. Macy was very sweet and kept me updated!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs both full time and part time since I was around 14. I was the sole caregiver for my previous dog (American Staffy) for 4 years as well as pet sitting for family. I’m currently home from college and work from home, so I am able to give your pets plenty of attention and care. I’m also an active person who loves outside. I have a fenced in backyard as well as a very walkable neighborhood with ponds and trails. If needed, I also have a crate available.

“Alex and her kids were great with Dede. If you live in Grant this is the place to leave your pup!”

About: I allow dogs in my fenced yard every morning, then I walk my dogs for a short stroll. After breakfast, its off the the dog park so the dogs can runs, play & socialize with other dogs! Back at my house, the dogs can relax on front or back porch, or play in the fenced yard. Small dog prefer to hang out with me in the house, take a nap or enjoy looking out the window at the neighbor’s cat. My availability is flexible since I only work part time. My husband comes home for dinner & he loves dogs too. Weekends are typically spent enjoying the back yard. We have chickens in a separate fenced in area. My dogs love looking at them through the fence.

About: I currently work with a local rescue and have worked with rescues for two years now due to my love for animals! I foster dogs of any age as well. I am currently a stay at home mom so I would be able to spend endless amounts of time with your babies!! I have two small children as well who are well versed with dogs and are used to being around them. I have one furry baby of my own and almost always have a foster dog in my home as well. Your pet is welcome to stay in our home the same as they do in yours, whether that’s crated at night, on their dog bed, etc.

“Michelle has exceeded my expectations for Diggidy Doo. Her love and expert training is apparent in Diggidy Doo's trust and love of her. She gives her all and Diggidy Doo will have the fullest experience that I desire for him.”

“Kimberly was amazing! She helped us by taking our pup for the day while we enjoyed a day in the outdoors. She is so sweet and clearly has a deep love and appreciation for animals! Thank you Kimberly!”

About: I have a lot of experience caring for pets and also have experience with babysitting children. My approach is to provide a nurturing and fun environment. Right now I only do school and have plenty of time to spend since I am in a hybrid program and am currently only doing classes online. I take care of my pumpkin baby by letting him out frequently, but most of the time he stands by the door when he has to potty or go outside. And I also cuddle him and put on the TV for him. His favorite shows are Kitchen Nightmares and Strawberry Shortcake.
