Doggy Day Care in Brightwaters

About: I truly have always felt my purpose was to take care of animals. Every animal I see I feel a connection with, whether I know them for 14 years or 14 minutes. They hold such a special place in my heart. When it comes to animals, of ANY kind I have the softest spot for them. It’s sometimes hard to explain my love for them because it runs so deeply. I have had many dogs and cats throughout my lifetime and they have never once failed me and I truly don’t think I have ever failed them. I have trained my own puppies in the past and I will continue training your puppy if that is where you’re at with your puppy. My dogs and cats have also turned into seniors as well and I am prepared to do something as simple as sitting on the couch and cuddling with them. I have had to pick up my senior dogs who couldn’t walk, hand feed them when they could no longer eat, help them to the bathroom and I have loved every second that I could be there for them and help them in their time of need because for the years they gave me, they always helped and loved me unconditionally. I am currently not working and home raising my 2.5 year old son and my 1.5 year old pup! My son is in activities throughout the week but they don’t take up too much time. I would only be gone for about 2 hours a day MAX! I have a 6 foot fenced in yard with a large leveled patio and grass for your furbaby to enjoy sunbathing, playing in the snow, running and playing. I currently have a 1.5 year old female puppy named Roxy! She is an ANGEL!! She gets along with every dog. She is about 35 pounds, fully grown. I also have a 2.5 year old son who calls Roxy his “sissy”. He, like his mother is a huge animal (of all kinds) lover. I do have a small crate and an extra large crate from my previous dogs. The small crate can hold up to about a 20 pound dog where the large crate can hold up to about a 100 pound dog. I am willing to discuss whatever it is that your fur baby needs because I know they are all different and require different things!

“I can’t say enough great things about Veronique and Jonathan! They were amazing with my puppy, Oakley, providing her with exceptional doggy day care. They kept her active, engaged, and ensured she was well taken care of throughout the day. It was such a relief to know Oakley was in loving, capable hands. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch care!”

About: I love spending time with dogs, I prioritize going above and beyond to ensure your fur baby feels comfortable and loved while you’re away. I provide frequent updates with photos and videos throughout the day to keep you informed about your pet’s activities and well-being. I have plenty of time to play with your pups! I am available for boarding and/or for just a fun day care at anytime. I maintain a flexible schedule to maintain your pet’s needs. With a fenced in yard, I can provide regular exercise to help your pet stay fit, strong and keep those tails wagging. In my home your pet will have a safe and cozy place to stay.

“Sabrina was very friendly and flexible with our needs on short notice. She took great care of our dog and sent pictures each day of our little guy. Even though she had a fenced yard she also took him on walks in her neighborhood each day. We will definitely use her again.”

“Appa Loved staying with Auntie Neen and the family! The second day he tried to run to the door! Such a pleasure to have a safe and fun place to leave my little guy! I was able to go to work and not even think twice about his happiness. Auntie Neen and the boys are super welcoming and she knows how to handle first meetings! Definitely using Dineen again and again!!”

About: I've always had a dog throughout my life. My family is full of dog lovers! A dog is what makes a home feel like a home 🐾 I am a stay at home mom which means I am home majority (if not all) of the day. I have the availability, time and heart to fit your dog right into my day. I have a fully fenced in yard to run and play. I have kids who adore dogs, who listen and are respectful of their space. Our home is fun and relaxing- plenty of time for both. Our door is always open.

“Very reliable and so sweet to my baby! Offers so much flexibility and love and tender care!”

About: A deeply passionate pet sitter-with lots of hands-on medical experience working in a hospital setting for humans, and a lifelong love for animals of all kinds (just no cat boarding, please-I'm allergic!). My daughter and I currently share our home with a bearded dragon and an axolotl, and throughout the years we've lovingly cared for dogs, birds, turtles, tortoises, geckos, and even a friend's water dragon. We've maintained aquariums with blue lobster crayfish, shrimp, and a wide variety of freshwater fish, and I was raised around saltwater tanks thanks to my father's passion for marine life. Together, we've hand-fed cherry red tortoises, cared for koi ponds, and welcome baby birds each season to the seven birdhouses in our backyard-it truly feels like living in an atrium. My daughter competes in horseback riding and has hands-on experience with goats, chickens, llamas, pigs, and even zonkeys. We've hand-fed kangaroos and giraffes, pet penguins, cuddled bunnies and guinea pigs, ridden camels, and even fed alligators. We're fully comfortable with live feeding for reptiles and amphibians-crickets, worms, and more. Dogs are our biggest joy! We offer backyard agility play, trick training, beach days, boat rides, paddle boarding, park play and runs (my daughter is a competitive track athlete). We love dressing pets for fun occasions (always safe and functional), providing custom feeding routines, and yes-even holding special chew treats to make your pup feel spoiled and secure. We're also experienced anglers, and my daughter has worked as a mate on various fishing boats, giving us even more hands-on animal care and outdoor experience. While I can't host cats due to allergies, I'm happy to provide walks or drop-in visits for dogs even in homes with cats. And if you have animals that are a little outside the box-just ask! We have a true passion for wildlife and Iove exploring new animal care opportunities. Hi there! I currently work per diem, so my schedule is very flexible and I’m available most days and weekends. I also offer holidays and last minute get away watching if you are you are ever in a pinch! I offer a safe, calm environment with a fully fenced-in yard and no other dogs—so no scruffles or stress! I also have a large vehicle that can easily transport supplies or pets if needed. Whether it’s a day visit or overnight care in my home, your pets will be in good hands. Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a meet-and-greet!

“Pamela is amazing! She is just exactly the person who I would trust my babies with. She kept me updated all day how my babies are doing, and was very respectful with my the things I requested. She is not just this amazing animal lover, but genuinely a great person, like a person I would like to hangout out with! Honestly, she felt like a close family friend, and not a stranger! She stole and our babies’ hearts, and we will be coming to her for next time for ?!”

About: My doggie Nala has shown me unconditional love for the past 11 years, and we always welcome new friends! I was a Rover sitter while living in the city and just rejoined. I take pride in showing all animals love through attention, affection, and care. I believe that everything from food to sunlight can affect an animal’s day, and it makes my heart smile to make their days worthwhile. I can come to you, or you can drop off your pet to me, either works! I love and will honor lists, instructions, and care guides. I know what it feels like to leave a pet in the care of others, and thank you for considering me to do so. I know it’s nervewrecking, and I promise to provide the love that your best fur friend deserves. Warmly, Telicia I am home most of the day and have a medium sized dog. This allows me to be super present and engaged with your pup. We have a fenced yard with plenty of space to play inside as well as outside. Water bowls are always full so that everyone stays hydrated.

“Thomas & Lauren are reliable and trustworthy and we know our dog is in great care and in the best hands.”

“Eliana was so amazing with my little pup. When I went to pick her up she was playing and didn’t want to leave, she was so tired and happy when she got home. Eliana is courteous and sends many pictures, definitely recommend and will book with her in the very near future”

“10 out of 10 starts. Christina was amazing. Our 6 month old Doberman loveddd her and her puppy. This was our first experience with the app and we can’t rave enough about Christina. She kept in constant contact with us. Giving us updates , keeping us in the loop on how he was adjusting for his first time and constantly sending pictures and videos. Due to work well need a sitter every week and we will 100% be using Christina!”

About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, including puppies and senior pets. I specialize in providing calm, consistent care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I’ve worked with high-energy breeds that require structured exercise, as well as older pets who need a gentler touch and medication management. I’m also experienced in basic obedience training, crate training, and socialization techniques for puppies. What sets me apart is my reliability, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals—I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you're away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom to a 1-year-old. I’m home full-time, which means I have a flexible schedule and can provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. I enjoy taking walks and spending time outdoors, so incorporating pet care—whether it’s walks, playtime, or check-ins—works perfectly with our daily rhythm. My child is also learning to be gentle and respectful with animals, so it's a loving, calm environment for pets. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, safety and trust are my top priorities. In my home, I provide a clean, pet-friendly space that’s free of hazards, with plenty of room for play and rest. I supervise all interactions closely, especially if pets are new to the environment, and I follow any feeding, medication, or routine instructions to the letter. If I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines, making sure pets feel comfortable and secure in their familiar environment. I always keep open communication with owners through updates, photos, and messages, so they feel confident and at ease while they’re away.

About: Hi! My name is Kristina and I have loved dogs since I’ve had one since I was 13 years old. I adopted Nala (who was the love of my life) in 2016 but recently crossed the rainbow bridge in October 2024 🌈She was full of love and I would like to think she was like that because of the environment I created for her! My husband and I adopted Gary in 2020. We love taking them for walks, car rides, going to the park and snuggling! I’ve dogsitted for years before (house sitting and walking dogs when needed). I would consider having your pup over if it’s over 50 pounds and gets along with big dogs and small children. I’m not afraid of any dog, dog size or any dog type— I’m a lover of all dogs! I am taking a year off from teaching because I have a baby and a toddler, so my hours are pretty open. I could take care of multiple pets throughout the day. Also, I have off holidays and I am definitely willing to say over to take care of the fur babies when I can. I am open to hosting your pup (if over 50 pounds) in our home. We have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog that we can arrange a meet and greet with the pups beforehand.
