Doggy Day Care in Bloomington

“Victoria is the absolute best and I trust her completely. She loves my dog like he is her own. My dogs runs to her door and comes back exhausted. She is extremely accommodating and sends updates throughout the day. I highly recommend her and know that my dog is comfortable and safe in her care.”

“Kery is super nice, has a great space for hosting my pup, great communication, and the wonderful experience. I highly recommend. The minute my boy got there he went right to her and didn't even look back for me when I started the car and left. That says a lot.”

“Kayli was amazing! And so was her dog Huck ? Our two boys had a BLAST and we cannot wait to come back. The big fenced-in yard is incredible for all the dogs to race around, and all the other dogs there were just great. It seems like our guys made some new buddies! They were quite sad to leave. We also appreciate that Kayli was nice enough to send pictures and videos throughout the day so we could see how much fun they were having. We’ll be back very soon!”

“Hi there Rover Gabe is a man I know for almost 20 years who has had dogs his whole life and loves and takes care of them like they are his children.My dogs always gravitated toward him as well. It is a home where dogs are always welcome and I know he dog sits for people when they travel as I was staying with him and his wife and we had a new little dog visiting. They are given as much love and attention as his own pups. They alos just adopted 2 more dogs so now he has 3 dogs that he cares for. and are part of his family I would feel totally confident having Gabe watch and care for my dog!!! Lucky doggie!!”

“My Murph deals with separation anxiety and I have been looking for someone local for when I need a sitter. Chastity was understanding, and while Murph was nervous, he definitely played himself out and has a relaxing evening after I picked him up. Thanks so much!”

“Amy and Chris were welcoming when I dropped Banksy off. Their location is perfect for easy drop off and pick up. Communication with photos during the day let me know he was well cared for.”

“Rosalie was SO GOOD and patient with our nervous chihuahua. She sent great updates and he had a lovely time in her home and fenced yard. We highly recommend her for dogs of all sizes! :)”

“Devin does a great job caring for dogs, cats, and other companion animals. Devin is great with our challenging, older Chihuahua mix who is a bit slow to warm up, but loves to spend time with Devin, and Devin's dog Lydia is very sweet and non-reactive and gets along well with our small and territorial dog, who doesn't always get along with larger dogs. I'd recommend Devin as a compassionate caregiver who can responsibly care for all types of companion animals.”

About: I don’t remember a time in my life I wasn’t around animals. From growing up with dogs and cats, to volunteering at the SPCA, to then working professionally with animals (as both a sitter and a kennel technician at multiple kennels), I have a wide range of experience when it comes to different temperaments and breeds. In addition to my experience as a kennel technician, I’ve also gained experience through a dog training internship at a training and breeding facility. All of this paired with my studies in psychology and narrative, and all the ways they intertwine, comes together with my own dog training, where I utilize relationship-based training to foster a positive, working dog/human relationship. If you need help training your puppy (or adult dog), please let me know! I’d be happy to discuss rates for private sessions, board and trains, and/or stay and trains (which are similar to a board and train, but your dog gets to stay at home and you get to be more involved!). I am a full-time pet sitter and dog trainer. When I’m not with clients’ pets, I’m with my own two dogs and two cats - training, playing, or relaxing. I also keep several plants, and have kept Betta fish and Hermit Crabs in the past, so should you need help with any other plants or animals while you’re away I’m happy to discuss that as well. I offer free meet and greets, approximately 30 minutes long, as I prefer meeting owners and their pets prior to any drop-ins or walks for the comfort of everyone involved. For training inquiries, I offer complimentary 45min consultations to ensure it’s a good fit before committing. I am knowledgeable about dog and cat body language, so I can and will adapt to the pets needs based on what their behavior is telling me in an effort to ensure their comfort and happiness. You can expect a detailed update at the very end of each visit, session, or day, including multiple photos. Boarding dogs will be boarded overnight (~11pm-8am) as well as 2-3 times during the day for 2-6 hours at a time in an area separate from the main area of the house. Daytime crating applies to daycare pups as well. All dogs get a minimum of 3-4 short walks per day, for ample opportunity to relieve themselves as well as enjoy the outdoors however they wish (sniffing around, sunbathing, playing, etc.). Dogs who want/need more excessive will get 1-2 longer walks per day in addition to 3 shorter walks. They also get lots of time to free roam in the boarding area and if they wish to interact with my Lab or other dogs who may be here, they can at that time. (NOTE: If your dog is not comfortable in a crate, I will not be able to board them. I require all dogs in my care be crate trained and will utilize crates for safety purposes. This is non-negotiable.)

“Kimberly was amazing! Very attentive to my Macie and reassured me when leaving my pup for daycare for the very first time. Macie loveed her and have a wonderful day at Kimberlys! We're looking forward to booking again!”

“Nardia took great care of Lu. Very nice person, responsible, mature, great communication. Thank you so much!”

About: I began my dog sitting adventure 6 years ago while in graduate school in London where I provided dog boarding, doggy daycare, and house sitting. In addition to dog sitting, I run a retreat and events business from my home. I love having a companion and taking walks during my workday. I find peace and pleasure outside, especially by water. I am available for house sitting, boarding, and doggy day care. I can care for dogs that enjoy a love walk as well as the elderly who mostly want to cuddle and rest. Extremely high energy dogs that need to play most of the day are a bit outside my scope but I have a special touch with dogs who experience anxiety. Below are some non-negotiables for working with me: 1. House trained pups only please! 2. For new clients, I require an in-person meet & greet. I’m unable to accept bookings without them! 3. As a means of maintaining the energy in my home, no pet parents may come inside. Meet & greets happen on my porch or in my fenced in backyard and drop offs happen on my porch only. 4. All communication happens in the Rover app. I’m happy to touch base and send a few photos here but I don’t give out my personal phone number. If these details feel aligned with you, please include this emoji: 🐾 in your message so I know you agree to the above! I work full-time from home. I'm able to accommodate a dog from my home or go to a doggie's clean home as long as there is reliable and efficient wifi. Walking during the day is great for me too! I also have experience with dogs who would rather stick close to home. I have a fenced-in yard for doggies to play. I'm comfortable with dogs sleeping in my bed, as well. In my home, I require a house-trained dog that I can take outside for potty breaks but can accommodate a dog who uses pee pee pads or otherwise inside their home.

“Hila hosted Millie for a day and Millie had a great time. We are so happy Hila was available. Hila was also communicative and flexible with us. Millie Enjoyed playing with Hila’s dog Ruby too.”

“Hadar was wonderful to Pixie! Pixie got to go to the dog park, and got plenty of individual attention for two days. I could not have asked for anything better! Little Pixie was in great hands. And on day two she was excited to go back. That says a lot!”

“This is our 3rd time using Eleanor for Sparky’s care. And we already have her scheduled again for a week in March. She continues to exceed our expectations. She has a genuine interest in Sparky and they both adore each other. We consider ourselves lucky to have made this connection with Eleanor.”

“I have known Gayle for over 7 years and have seen the love and care she gave her dogs for many years as well as my pup when she comes to visit me. Gayle would often text me pics of her babies in addition to posting photos of them on Facebook. I am confident Gayle would make an excellent dog walker / caregiver. Thank You Terry W.”

“Margie was great. Helped us out with very little notice. Was flexible with our schedule and took great care of our lab. Would highly recommend.”

“Melinda is a true dog whisperer! We left our beloved pup with her the first time when we were leaving the country. Every day we got pictures of our boy being pampered, cuddled and loved. Since then we ONLY use Melinda when we go away - and sometimes we just leave him with Melinda so they can visit. She is amazing and kind and gentle and you absolutely can leave your pet without a worry! Elyse & Glenn and Cash”

“Mary Kate is a genuine dog lover who has taken care of our Yorkie/Maltese mix (Bobby) several times over the last four years. She and her fiancé Fred are scrupulous pet-sitters who have always provided a safe space and a loving environment for Bobby. If anything ever happens to us, we feel secure in the knowledge that Mary Kate and Fred will serve as his new parents.”

“Amazing caretaker! I leave my three dogs with her for days and there is never a problem!! She is wonderful, kind, giving, attentive and a professional dog owner and lover. We love Kim and her wonderful love for animals!! More people like Kim!”
