Doggy Day Care Bergen

“I brought our little doggo for his first day visit and Gigi had separation protocol to minimize stress. I'm very satisfied with the space and care.”

About: I started walking my next door neighbor’s Boston Terrier when I was around 10. She knew I was an animal lover, and even let me experiment with some training with her pup. This led to me getting into agility training and just general dog training, which I have started to pick back up again. I am known as the family dog sitter, as my family has a combination of Pit Bulls, Bernedoodles, and hunting breeds, so I’ve worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes and stubbornness! Aside from dogs, I grew up volunteering at shelters where I adopted my own cat when I was 15, and eventually even landed a job as a zookeeper! As far as my own pets go, I currently keep it to my cat, fish and my wonderful Bearded Dragon, Albus. From my own pets, work experience, and love of training, I really have worked with everything from lizards to rodents to dogs to elephants! One consistency throughout my experience is my love for animals, and my passion to improve the quality of their life! Specific skills: - Puppy/Adult dog training - Hoofstock care and training (goats, horses, exotics) - Reptile care I currently work from home, so I have the availability to work from wherever I need to. This also gives me the option to walk/train during my breaks. I have weekend availability as needed as well. I am able to stay over at a pet owner’s home if needed, however I prefer to host pets in my own home whenever possible. I currently have a 1 year old mixed breed who absolutely LOVES having the company! As always, your pet’s safety is my number one concern. I am trained in identifying and understanding animal behavior and will not put your animal in a position where they do not feel safe. I am also a huge advocate for leash laws and ADA regulations protecting service dogs, so these will always be respected and enforced in my care. I am a huge advocate for animal enrichment, working as a zookeeper in the past taught me how important mental stimulation is for an animal, and how when paired with proper exercise can mitigate behavioral issues in pets. This is something I would love to bring to the table for my clients!

“We were passing through Rochester and really needed a very trustworthy sitter for our highly separation anxious three legged Jack. So when we found Alex and Bethany and Jack trotted off with them with no anxiety, we knew we'd found the right match. These people clearly have the magic touch and the dedication to take care of any creature with any kind of special need. So I would recommend them a million times over. Honestly feeling kind of bummed we dont live in Rochester and therefore cant call on them more often.”

“Haley and Amanda were great daycare hosts for our dog Jager! We booked a VERY last minute daycare with them and they were exceptional. Pickup and drop off were seamless, there was active communication throughout the day and photos of Jager playing with their dogs. 10/10 experience and I would absolutely book with her again. :)”

“Ricardo was so great with our dog! Took him out for a walk in all kinds of weather, and he came home happy and tired. Great communication and updates - we are hoping to work with him again soon. Thanks Ricardo!”

“Caitlyn is so unbelievably awesome! The request was super last minute and she stayed flexible every day my plans changed. Communication was top tier and Doug was excited every single day to go back and play with Olaf. Can’t wait to book with her again in the future!”

About: I have a lifetime of experience with pet care, which began with helping my mom run her in-home dog boarding business when I was growing up. The skills and experience that I've gained in that time enable me to provide the best possible care for your pet. I live with my girlfriend who is a veterinary technician with over 15 years of experience. Ours is a loving home, with a large, securely fenced yard. Our top priority is to keep your dog safe, feeling comfortable, and relaxed, just as they would be in their own home. I offer boarding, walks, in home visits, and more. I am comfortable giving meds, preparing special diets, and caring for puppies as well as seniors. I used to train and show dogs when I was younger, and can help get your puppy off on the right foot with house training. Dog sitting is my only job, and my flexible schedule revolves around that. I can be available at any reasonable time for pick-up and drop off appointments. I'm home almost all of the time to be with the dogs, only leaving to run brief errands when necessary. All dogs are cared for in my home. I have a large, securely fenced in back yard. During the day, dogs are free to be outside to play in the backyard as much as they wish. All dogs sleep in large crates or X-pens in our comfortable dog room at night, or when we are not home. We have a young cavalier who would be happy to have new friends to play with. For safety, I separate dogs for feeding and if we're out of the house, although it's rare that no one is home. Guests need to like other dogs and people.

“Rachel provided kind, attentive and friendly care to my girl Lucy. She provided photos and updates on Lucy and how her day was going. I feel that my girl is in great hands and that I trust Rachel is giving Lucy all the love and attention she needs!”

“Dan is the absolute, best person to leave our Finn with! He’s so thoughtful about how he spends his day with him, and keeps us updated on their activities:)”

About: Hi, my name is Lindsay and I’m an animal lover through and through. I grew up in a cat‑loving family with the most adorable tabby and Persian cats. One of our Persians, Sweetie, was especially close to me. She passed away a few years ago, and losing her truly broke my heart—she was with me for so long and gave me so many wonderful memories. I also spend a lot of time with my family’s dogs—a brown Labrador, a German Shorthaired Pointer, and a pair of Boston Terriers—and I always make sure to play with them whenever we’re together. Back in high school, my mom, sister, and I volunteered at our local humane society. We cleaned kennels and litter boxes, played with the animals, and gave them the affection and company they needed. I’ve also cared for many of my family’s and friends’ cats and dogs over the years, and there has never been a dull moment. Pets bring so much joy. A little about me: I love hiking, doodling, drinking coffee, playing mobile games, reading, and traveling. I enjoy spending time with my family, good friends, and—of course—fur babies. I’m flexible, easygoing, and always happy to hang out with pets who need love and attention. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies and give them all the care and affection they deserve. I work part‑time from home, which gives me lots of flexibility to care for your fur babies. I offer weekend boarding and weekday availability after my work hours. My yard is fully fenced and secure, giving your fur baby a safe place to play. My neighborhood has lots of sidewalks, so your pet will enjoy calm walks right outside my home.

“Quinn took AMAZING care of Jose!! He loved being outside in her yard and playing with the other dogs. I received photos/videos every hour as well as updates on how he was adapting. I will definitely be taking him there again! Thanks Quinn!! 😊”

“Marie understood Chica's anxiety from being away from home for the first time and gave her plenty of attention and exercise. Marie was very attentive towards Chica and gave us positive feedback regarding her stay. We highly recommend Marie!”

“Another great stay with Fabiola. Josie was tired and happy!”

“Fiona had her first day at Garrisons doggy daycare and she came back tired and happy! My pup is very nervous of new things at first and Garrison took time to let Fiona warm up and get comfortable instead of just throwing her into the mix of things which can be overwhelming. I received updates from garrison and pictures and videos. We will definitely be a repeat client! Thanks so much Garrison!”

Emily J.

“Great communication. Accommodated our last minute request. Rex looked very happy when we picked him up, and he was tired out which tells me he had some fun playtime.”

Marianne D.

“They weee both so loving toward my little Loki. He got all the snuggles and attention he could ask for. I loved seeing the pictures they sent and just how happy they all were. It shows how much they care for the animals they watch.”

About: Murphy and I are a tag team! Please only reach out if your pets are good with other dogs. I’ve always been the girl who is obsessed with dogs. I grew up with dogs and I was the one who took care of them, and that love for caring and training has only grown. I’m the type of person who needs a lot of “outside time” so my soul dog Murphy and I spend a good amount of time playing in the courtyard and going on multiple walks a day; I truly don’t know who’s happier. Currently, I have a very open schedule and it’s just Murphy and I at home all day. Some evenings I babysit for my family out in Spencerport, but kid friendly dogs are welcome to come with me and there is also a large yard (not fenced in, but there is a 30 ft leash set up). I have a fenced in grass courtyard where the dogs can play, and my apartment is very open and there’s lots of room for dogs to play inside. My dog Murphy does not need to be crated when left alone, but I have a small cage in case anyone who visits needs it. Murphy has more toys than I care to admit, so your pups will have lots to play with.

About: I have taken care of pets for my entire life! I also have experience in senior care, like administrating medications and other accommodations. I am currently in my undergrad for medical illustration and I am taking pre-vet classes. You won’t find someone as loving and caring to your pets as I am. I am currently on summer vacation, so I am super flexible and available to devote 100% of my attention to your pet for any length of time. I pay lots of attention to detail, and am great at following your directions. I have a roomy apartment, and live with two other animal lovers. Right outside my apartment is lots of yard space for walks and playtime! I will spend most of my time caring for your pet engaging with them and loving them!

“Kenan was professional, keeps a clean home and aided in training my dog. Highly recommend him!”
