Doggy Day Care Brighton

About: Most people call me Josh. Dogs have always been my favorite animal and I've lived with them for most of my life. I am recently dog-free and I miss having dog energy in my house. I've raised two dogs through basic obedience to adulthood, one with a class, and one largely on my own. I am personally a big believer in the methods described in The Art of Raising a Puppy, because I have had excellent results with their techniques, but will of course prioritize whatever approach is preferred by owners. I am happy to help reinforce any basic obedience your dog may be working on, as well as senior dogs. I am comfortable with a wide range of dog breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Highly reactive dogs are not my favorite, but "highly reactive" can be subjective, so I will consider such dogs on a case by case basis. I am happy to work with dogs of varying activity levels, but extremely high-activity dogs will also be considered on a case-by-case basis. I am currently working from home and am available for dropoff in-home daycare most weekdays and dog boarding (including weekends). My schedule for my dog was three walks a day (morning, afternoon/dinnertime, bedtime) so that is what I'm used to, but I am happy to work with clients to discuss their routine and work with them to agree on an experience that fits their and their dog's needs. I currently have no other animals in my home, so your dog will get my full attention as needed. I don't have a fenced yard, but I am in a residential neighborhood with a good-sized park a block away. I am reasonably close to Seward Park and the Genesee dog park as well.

“Churro was feeling a little sick and Brent was incredibly kind to him. Will use again when we're in town!”

“Maria is fantastic! Marky is hesitant when it comes to interacting with people and dogs when I am not with him but Maria showed him there was nothing to fear! They take beautiful walks together, naps with his friends, and gets to play all day in a pack. He comes home tired and happy when the day is done. Maria really loves all of the dogs like her own”

“As always, Mckenna and her mom Shirley took the best care of my old dog Chewie, and he's not easy! Thank you so much, Mckenna and Shirley! I'm always sure Chewie is happy and well taken care of when he's at your house.”

“Finn loves going over to William’s house! He always has fun with the dogs that are there. I appreciate that William doesn’t take more than 4 dogs at a time Finn gets all the attention he needs…and he needs quite a lot. William is communicative, kind and reliable. He is great with dogs. I will continue to bring Finn there whenever I’m in need.”

“Our dog Midge loved spending the day with Kirsten and her dog Bear! Kirsten was very thorough with her meet and greet and listened to us explain all of Midge's little quirks. Midge was tired and happy after a long walk and romping around the yard with her doggie pals. You can tell Kirsten and her family are total dog people and will take care of your own doggo as if it were their own. We're planning to use Kirsten for more day care and overnight stays in the future!”

About: I have always been around pets since before I could walk. Taking care of our local neighborhood pets and of course my own! I am passionate about advocating for the safety and boundaries of pets. I have lots of experience with large dogs and reactive dogs, too. (My own dog is reactive). I’m well-versed in dog body language, and speak to them in a way I believe they understand. I am on a journey entrepreneurship, leaving my 9-5. This allows me to be available when you need me. My passion for animal care will drive my schedule! My dog, Indy, is the light of my life. He is my constant and #1 priority. We have had to go through years of training to work on his reactive behaviors and aggression, and though he does have some issues, he is the best boy! I also am always the first to reach out to my friends if they need pet care, and love meeting new pets. I am also pet CPR certified.

“Fantastic sitters! Bodhi came home happy and tired, which is always a good sign. We really appreciated the updates and photos throughout the day. We’d definitely book again!”

Sumiko G.

“Our Dog Loki, who is very shy, took a liking to Elan very quickly. He loved being dropped off at her home for daycare. What better sign of approval do you need than that?!”

Corey M.

“Tiffany was such a wonderful sitter for my pup! She was very sweet with him and sent pictures along the way. I could tell my pup had a great time once I picked him up.”

Kevin A.

“We were grateful for Kelly’s flexibility and willingness to watch our dog on New Year’s Day while my husband and I worked 12hr shifts. Buster was one tired, happy puppy after playing all day with his new pup friends. Thank you again, Kelly!”

Kelley D.

“I couldn’t be happier with the care Quinten provided for my dog Penny. From the moment we met, it was clear they had a genuine love for animals. They kept me updated with daily photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My pet was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for when I returned. I highly recommend Quinten to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate sitter!”

“I appreciate Eric’s flexibility helping with my two labs during my busy work season, it has been a huge life saver. And the pictures always make my day!”

Madison W.

“Shaneik did great with both my pups. One of my dogs has anxiety, and I was worried I wouldn’t be able to leave him with anyone. Shaneik was super understanding, and both my dogs were really comfortable and calm with her. I’d recommend Shaneik!”

Jessica L.

“Tu was absolutely fantastic with my girl Reggie. After drop off she sent me an update to let me know how she was adjusting to a new place and throughout the day I got pics of my bestie having her new adventure. Would 100% book again!!”

Kirstie L.

“Maria was wonderful with my senior dog! She was great at communicating and was so thoughtful with how to make my dog as comfortable as possible in her home. Will definitely work with Maria again!”

Christina A.

“This was my first booking with Oleg and I was both happy and impressed. Communication was superb and professional. Most importantly, he was great with my dog, not yet 2 yrs old, and my dog adored him. I would use them again without hesitation.”

Pat P.

“Thank you Wendy for watching our Benny! He had such a great time with the pack of pups. We will definitely reach out when we are in Seattle next time!”

Maria P.

“Elle and Scott are amazing, and really made my life so much easier when I started working. My dog is nervous and timid around new people and they really took the time to make him feel comfortable. My dog loves to go to their house and gets to play with other dogs all day. By time I pick him up he is ready to go straight to bed.”

Katie B.

“Erica was great with my anxious dog! She did a wonderful job communicating and went above and beyond to make sure my pup was as comfortable as could be!”
