Doggy Day Care Bitter Lake

About: Over the years, my husband and I have shared our lives with all kinds of dogs: farm dogs, little dogs, a Great Dane in a studio apartment, and now our Mini Australian Shepherd. We have learned and refined our dog ownership skills over time, finally investing in professional training for both our dog and ourselves in 2025. That experience shaped the kind of care I offer today. I believe dogs thrive with clear structure, consistency, and calm communication. I strive to provide the kind of boarding experience I wish I could find for my own dog, where training, routines, and boundaries are respected while you're away. I work from home full-time, so pet care fits naturally into my day. We have a large, fully fenced backyard, daily walks, and a very friendly Mini Australian Shepherd who enjoys canine company. Your dog won't be left alone for a typical workday. I do leave the house for school drop-offs and pick-ups, errands, or weekend activities. Dogs should be comfortable being alone for a few hours. Because I have both a young child and my own dog, I only accept dogs that: -Are friendly with children and other dogs. -Are up to date on vaccinations and flea prevention. -Can comfortably settle into a family home.

“Melissa is the absolute best. Caring, understanding of dogs, highly responsible and responsive. We couldn’t ask for a better person to take care of our pup.”

“Julianne made an effort to help Wren feel comfortable and accommodate her with her toys and treats. It didn't take long before I got a photo with her curled up on the couch with Julianne.”

“My experience in working with Spring was excellent. She was extremely responsive in scheduling and throughout watching our pup. She took multiple photos throughout the day and was accommodating with our schedule. Highly recommend and will absolutely reach out to Spring again!”

“Caitlin provided fantastic care for my pup! She gave lots of fun updates and my dog became a great friend with her dogs. I would highly recommend her for everyone!”

Alex S.

“Sheena did an excellent job providing daycare for my pup, Hati. Hati was able to socialize with other dogs in a more personalized environment, play and be her silly self. This is so important for my partner and I since we work 9-12 hour shifts. Sheena sent us pictures of Hati having fun and an overall review. I’m beyond grateful for her services and would recommend Sheena to anyone.”

Samira & Jakob S.

“Michelle was great! Our girl was relaxed and sleeping when we picked her up at end of day and smiling in the photo from their walk. We would be happy to have Michelle watch Soleil again in future.”

“We booked Felix on short notice for evening daycare, and he was very thoughtful in assessing whether our dog would be a good fit for his setup. We really appreciated the detailed updates and feedback throughout the stay. Felix has a strong understanding of dog behavior and group dynamics, which gave us peace of mind, and our somewhat nervous dog seemed to fit right in with his pack. Thanks Felix!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and have had them around most of my life. For the past three years, I’ve been fostering an adorable pit/lab mix, who has now found his forever home. With his departure, we now have room to care for your furry companions! Living near parks, I’m more than happy to take your dog for walks and follow their usual routine. Feel free to share any specific details about your pup and let me know how I can make their stay comfortable. I work remotely so am at home most days during the day. Happy to follow what your dog ‘s routine and needs. Just let me know. I live in a residential neighborhood with lots of green spaces around the area. I can also take your dog out walking, exploring the park if they are ok walking on the leash.

“Watson had a fantastic time with Alexandria and her pups. She did a great job at sending updates and photos throughout the day, and I felt very confident in leaving my little guy in her care. Would 10/10 recommend!”

Sheila S.

“We're so happy to have found Lorena! Our trusted sitter was unable to sit any longer and we scoured Rover to find Lorena. She is in tune with the pups, kind, thoughtful and has a very relaxed environment for the pups. Bear loved his visit and we're ecstatic to have found a loving environment for him.”

About: I am the first to say “pick me!” when a friend is in need for a pet-sitter. I feel very comfortable around animals and love to be in their company. We, I and my husband have a 2.5 years old Miniature American Shepard, Iris. We have grown her up since she was about 2 months old. We live in a house with fenced backyard so your dog will have a good space to run around during the day time. I am not working and stay at home mostly I can stay close to your dog so that they don't feel lonely during your absence, of course Iris is here for your dog too :). I can follow a specific schedule or your dog's needs like feeding time or walking time, or anything for making your dog feel as comfortable as possible. Drop-ins are always welcomed, but I don't drive so cannot come to pickup your pups sorry... My day starts with letting my dog go backyard then feed her. After having a coffee I usually walk around with Iris and do some shores. play with toys and fetch on the backyard a few times during the daytime and go for a walk again in the evening. Feed dinner and do the last short walk for potty around 10:30 pm before going bed. We have fenced yard so your dog can exercise during the day. And living in a peaceful residential neighborhood allows us to walk around with pups safely. I care your dog as I care my dog for sure. A lot of plays and walks, and hugs. I also have a lot of toys in the house and different style of beds so your dog will find something fit for them! if they want :)

“Our pup came home exhausted and happy after a full day with Carmen and Taco! She sent us lots of picture updates that were just so cute. Loved how flexible and responsive Carmen is, and Maisie clearly bonded with her in just a short amount of time. We will definitely be back!”
