Doggy Day Care in Big Bend

“Maria and Nayibe were absolute lifesavers! They were available last minute to watch our dog while we went on vacation to catch a baseball game, and they went above and beyond to make sure our pup was well taken care of. They sent regular updates with videos and pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. They were incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and clearly cared about our dog as if he were their own. As a generous surprise, they even sent us home with a pack of treats for our road trip back—such a kind and thoughtful gesture. We couldn’t recommend Maria and Nayibe more highly and would absolutely trust them again in the future!”

About: I’ve handled pets for 10 years with compassion, warmth, and love like they’re my own. Friends and family have relied on me plenty of times to take care of their fur babies; whether it be a walk, a quick check-in, or sitting for a night. My personality adds comfort and ease to any family. I currently work remote full-time Monday-Friday 7am-3pm, so any needs after 3pm, I am your caregiver! If a quick visit is needed on a lunch hour, that is always no problem as well. I am free all day most weekends for any pet needs, including boarding or sitting. I live in an apartment complex that is pet friendly. We have a brand new, fenced-in dog park. There is a huge unfenced yard where dogs can be taken out on a leash. My apartment can accommodate most things such as a crate, toys, food, and other animal necessities.

“I couldn’t be more pleased with the care Katy and DJ provided while watching my dog. From the moment I met them, I could tell they were genuine animal lovers. They kept me updated regularly with photos and messages, which put my mind at ease while I was away. My dog seemed so happy and well-cared for when I returned, and it’s clear that Katy and DJ went above and beyond to ensure my pet’s comfort and safety. I would highly recommend Katy and DJ to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter!”

About: I have only had my own dogs to engage with but I love to teach them new tricks and help them learn. I am also not afraid to get to know shy pets I would be available after 4:30pm weekends but available all weekend. I work around having other jobs but am open those parts of the day I feed them, walk them, and teach them new tricks. I also love to play with my dogs to get the energy out of them

“Lauren was absolutely phenomenal with Rory! He struggles with separation anxiety, but she made him feel comfortable and he warmed right up to her. He even ran straight inside on their second day together, ready to play! Lauren is very responsive and takes lots of great pictures too. I couldn’t recommend her more! We’ll definitely be reaching out again in the future. Thanks again, Lauren!”

“Dana was excellent. She made us feel really comfortable that Ruby was in good hands. I retired in January and Ruby is mostly home with Mom now so she is a bit hyper when she goes someplace else. Dana had Ruby feeling like she was part of her family and she calmed down within minutes of being at her house. We already have Dana booked for another visit and I know Ruby will be in great hands.”

“Our dog had an awesome day with Louise! She was great with little Stuart and so easy to work with for us. She accommodated a long day with our schedules and is so kind. She gave our dog personal care and very loving for our needy little puppy. We plan to book with Louise again, can’t recommend her enough!”

Maura B.

“Amber was great. We will use her the next time we need a sitter for our dogs. My pups came home happy and well taken care of. Thank you again Amber!”

Deborah C.

“Julie was such an incredible help and so caring and loving towards Ruby! I appreciate her flexibility with her schedule and that she was with Ruby the whole time playing and cuddling with her :)”

Katie A.

“Definitely looked like Jordyn enjoyed his stay and Kari definitely treaded Jordyn like one of her own. Great in helping out super last minute. Will contact her again if need be for sure!”

About: Hello! You may have seen me around town walking my hound and my kitty in his chariot (that is, his stroller). I grew up with a "pack" of usually 5 dogs and 3 cats at a time! My family took in rescues - hunting beagles that wandered onto our property and area shelter babies. I developed a sense of responsibility and deep love and compassion for our beloved furry brothers and sisters. So it's no stretch that I'm now working part time to take care of yours!! I'm offering: Half hour to hour walks Longer walks/park or hike field trips for your adventurous pups Cat walks! I provide the kitty stroller Drop in visits for dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, ferrets, gerbils, hamsters, piggies, small flying marsupials - anything else? Let me know! Daytime or overnight sitting I recently fostered two 2-week old chihuahua puppies for several weeks, and I have a good deal of experience making sure elderly puppies and kitties are comfortable and attended to with great patience. I currently care for my gorgeous girl, Belle, with one medium and one looong walk a day (and if you've ever walked a hound, you know that can be an ordeal: they have to sniff EVERYTHING). We like to go on field trips to parks and hiking at Carl Sandburg! If you are wanting your pet to get a bit of socialization with another dog who is extremely sweet, I would be happy to walk your dog(s) with Belle - but that is up to you. When I go to your home, I will take my time to give your animals plenty of love and play in addition to any walks/feeding they need. Their emotional well-being is of utmost importance.

“A great host and a great visit!”

About: My daughter Alice, aged 10 has been dog sitting for 2 years and is looking to expand her client base! She loves animals and hopes to work with animals as a profession one day. We have had dogs and cats her entire life, and have fostered over 30 dogs. She is extremely active and loves walking or taking dogs for a run! She also loves to snuggle and pet dogs, but also is great with feeding, medication and cleaning up after them. She takes pet sitting very seriously! We always attend jobs with her and are available to help with communication and safety. I also work from home so I am happy to do midday visits while she is at school. As a working professional, I am also trustworthy and reliable, so good with humans as well as dogs! I am very open with communication and will be honest and upfront about how things are going. I provide regular updates and will also work with you to make a plan that works the best for you and your dogs. I work from home so we have very flexible availability. Typically Alice will do a morning visit before school, and I will come during the day and the she does evening and night time visits. We can be very accommodating as well! While we prefer to come to your home, pets are welcome here if they are good with cats. We communicate after every visit and follow all instructions around pet care! Alice is very careful and pays close attention to every detail.

“JJ has a great time. We will be back soon. Thanks for everything.”

About: Hi! I’m Bella, a professional dog trainer with over 7 years of hands-on experience working in advanced obedience, behavior modification, service dog foundations, and sport dog training. I’ve helped dogs and their families work through leash reactivity, anxiety, aggression, impulse control, and high-drive challenges—and I bring that same knowledge into every boarding, daycare, or drop-in service I offer. 🐾 What makes my care different? I provide structure, clear communication, enrichment, and individualized attention—not just cuddles and playtime. Whether your dog is working on manners or needs a calm, consistent place to stay, I’ve got you covered. 📍 Based in New Berlin 🏡 Calm home with safe setup (crate-trained dogs welcome!) ✅ Experience with large breeds, working dogs, and nervous pups 🦴 Optional training add-ons available during daycare or boarding Let me know your dog’s needs—I’m happy to customize care to give you peace of mind and your dog the routine they thrive in. (Website with training info available upon request.) Pet care is a central part of my daily life. I’m home during the day and structure my routine around walks, training sessions, feeding, and enrichment. Whether it’s daycare or boarding, dogs are integrated into a calm and structured environment throughout the day. I provide a peaceful, secure home environment with crate space available (if needed), structured downtime, and consistent routines. Dogs are supervised, enriched, and treated with the same respect and care I’d want for my own. I’ve worked with everything from young puppies to high-drive working dogs to those needing a little extra patience or support.
