Doggy Day Care Ayer

“Elaine was quick to respond to a fairly urgent request to watch our pup for a few hours and happy to work with our schedule. Our dog seemed happy and totally comfortable when we picked him up and we got a photo update from Elaine even though our booking was only for a couple of hours. Would absolutely book with Elaine again!”

“Some people just have that natural rapport with animals and Alexis is definitely one of them! My recently adopted husky has been struggling with separation anxiety and Alexis made her feel right at home. By the time I picked Bella up, she had gone on THREE walks and I had so many photos to enjoy! I simply cannot recommend Alexis’s conscientious care enough, and the next time Bella needs daytime care I will be coming back with no hesitation. Thank you! It couldn’t have been better!”

About: My journey with animals did not start as a job. It began when I was 10 years old and welcomed my first cat into my life. Since then, animals have always been part of my world. I also grew up with a beloved Shih Tzu who was part of our family for 16 wonderful years and taught me what patient, devoted, long-term care truly looks like. Over the years, I have gained hands-on pet-sitting experience with many different animals and breeds, from energetic Golden Retrievers to Maine Coons, playful kittens, and small companion dogs. I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, comfort level, and needs. I live with my husband in a two-floor apartment with hardwood floors and no carpets. I am happy to lift and carry pets on the stairs when needed, as long as they are comfortable being picked up. No matter the age, breed, or temperament, your pet will be treated with patience, attention, and care, just like part of the family. Pet care fits into my routine really easily because I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to give all the needed attention to your pet throughout the day. That means plenty of walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, and just being around so they feel cared for and not left alone for too long. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and cats, keeping them active, entertained, and comfortable, and making sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I live with my husband in a two-floor condo with its own backyard, and while it isn’t fenced, I’m very mindful of safety and always keep dogs secure when they're outside. The area around us has plenty of green space, which makes walks much more enjoyable and gives dogs lots of room to explore, sniff, and play.

“Kathryn is great. She took great care of my dog while I was at work. Sent me pictures and updates so that I knew how he was doing. Highly recommend. We did daycare with her and he loves being there and playing with her dogs and whoever else she is watching that day”

“Maisie had the best time! I received so many photos and great updates during the visit. Can’t wait to book again soon!”

“Initially before my Scottie Dog’s daycare, we did a “Meet and Greet”, which gave Jack an opportunity to interact with Kavita’s dog, Toby. Toby was very welcoming to another dog to share his spacious fenced in backyard. The next day, I dropped off Jack, who was eager to meet his new dog friend, Toby. During the day, Kavita sent me a photo, and video of Jack’s outside activity. It was very reassuring to know that my pet was doing just fine interacting with the other dogs.”

“My pup, Beau enjoyed his time with Victoria and her two dogs a lot; he was very happy when I picked him up and will look forward to spending much more time with Victoria and her lovely home with a fenced-in yard.”

“Cindy is really good with my dog, her two dogs are friendly and they all love to play together! I am so relieved to find a trusted dog day care for my girl!”

“This was my first time leaving my goldendoodle with Xiaofan. She was very welcoming and showed the backyard and indoors. Ozzy connected well with her retriever and had a good time. Xiaofan sent frequent updates and photos, which was great.”

“Phillip was great! Very knowledgeable about different dog breeds and their needs. I got numerous pictures while Archie was there. Put my mind at ease. Archie came home tired and I could tell when I picked him up he had a great day and was comfortable there. Highly recommend !!”

“Ok, so Lola and I are quite picky. Lola has come home very happy over all the days that she has been over. She’s been walked, fed, and got to play with other dogs. I’m extremely happy with her care. :)”

About: I’ve raised three dogs from puppies to adulthood, so I have years of hands-on experience with dogs of different ages and personalities. Now, when my friends travel, they trust me to take care of their dogs at my home. I treat every dog like my own — with patience, love, and attention to their individual needs. My goal is to make your dog feel safe, relaxed, and happy, just like they would at home. Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine. I am at home 24/7, so your dog will never be left alone. I has plenty of time to feed, walk, and care for each pet with love and attention. Our neighborhood is quiet with very little traffic, making it a safe and peaceful place for walks and play. Your dog will always have someone nearby for company and comfort. We provide a clean, safe, and pet-friendly home where dogs can relax and feel at ease. I am always at home to supervise and care for the pets, ensuring they’re never left alone. We don’t use cages — dogs are free to roam, rest, or play as they wish. Our quiet neighborhood with low traffic offers a safe environment for walks. We keep a close eye on each pet’s well-being and behavior. Every pet is treated like family, with patience, love, and constant care.

“Meli took such great care of my fur baby! From the moment I was in touch with Meli, I felt safe and excited about the opportunity to have Ollie spend the day with her and her pup Nina. She was warm and assuring, and very quick to respond to messages! When I met Meli in person to drop Ollie off, I was happy to find such a friendly and kind person in real life, too! She sent me photos and updates throughout the 6 hours that Ollie was with her for “day care” (without me even needing to ask!) and I could tell he was having fun and being taken care of so well! I would absolutely recommend Meli and would love to have Ollie stay with her again if we need a sitter in Bloomington. Thanks Meli! ?”

“Lindsey was so accommodating when we had to leave Oreo (our Shi Tzu) with her for 4 days. She has a Chihuahua of her own and both of them became friends. I would recommend her for your pet day care.”

Ravi R.

“Ethan was amazing with Kira! He took great care of her, kept me updated, and made me feel completely at ease while she was with him. Kira came home happy and well cared for. I really appreciate his kindness and would definitely trust him with Kira again. Highly recommend!”

About: I have not been an official sitter before, but I have been a dog owner for 20 years and know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. Dogs are family, and I understand the importance of making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. We do not currently have any fur friends at home, so we would be honored to share that love with your dog. I provide a calm environment, pay attention to routines and needs, and communicate clearly so you can feel confident while you’re away. Because we do not currently have pets at home, we have room in our routine to give your dog plenty of love, attention, and companionship. We can be intentional about feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest, and we know how important it is to keep dogs on a routine that helps them feel safe and settled. We know dogs are family, so we care for them with patience, attention, and genuine love. Our home is currently without other pets, which allows us to offer a calm environment and focused care. We will follow your instructions closely, pay attention to your dog’s comfort and behavior, and communicate clearly so you know your pet is safe and well cared for.
