Doggy Day Care in Brookdale

“Dan is the absolute, best person to leave our Finn with! He’s so thoughtful about how he spends his day with him, and keeps us updated on their activities:)”

“Levi is awesome to work with! My dog Alfie absolutely loves going to daycare everyday and comes home so tired and happy, which makes me very happy too. I love the pictures and updates I receive throughout the day and Levi has been so accommodating with schedule changes. Would recommend without a doubt!”

“Gigi was great with Marshall! Their home is very welcoming and prepared to keep the dogs happy and safe. Great back yard too! Marshall enjoyed playing with their two King Charles’”

“I was so anxious about sending my dog to day care because he's never been alone or watched by anyone but family and this experience was so above my expectations I am shocked. When I picked up my dog he was all smiles (didn't stop smiling for 2 full hours) and kept trying to go BACK to the house! He had an incredible time making friends with and playing with the other dogs in Fritz's care and I wouldn't even have a second thought about leaving my dog, the center of my entire life, in his care again. In fact I might start sending him to Fritz just so he can play with all the other dogs I've never seen him so tired and happy! Cannot recommend him more!!”

“Reka really enjoyed her stay with Daniel and his dog! We were glad to find Daniel at the last minute and got lot of pictures from him!”

“Gigi was THE BEST with our little Charlie girl. She treated her like she was her own with so many walks, cuddles, and treats (asked for approval first 😊)!! She was the sweetest and so understanding of Charlie’s needs. I 100000% will be looking to book with Gigi again whenever I need a sitter 😊😊”

About: I've had pets my entire life! I've taken care of my own pets - dogs, cats, snakes, gerbils, and rats - who have had a variety of needs including meds, fluids and inhalers, and friends', family, and neighbors' pets! I have always been a huge animal lover and having just moved back to Rochester with my partner as he starts his residency, I have a lot of free time! I would love to help with your animals! I have two cat and dog friendly cats who have a good routine and are always looking for new friends to play with! My apartment is secure and I dote on my kitties!

“Jill was wonderful - she accepted my last minute request and took great care of my pup. I totally recommend her and would have her watch my dog again in a heartbeat.”

“Very satisfied with Barbara’s care of our senior Yorkie. Barbara was quick to respond to messages and she followed some pretty detailed instructions to the letter. And she sent several pictures during the day.”

About: I started walking my next door neighbor’s Boston Terrier when I was around 10. She knew I was an animal lover, and even let me experiment with some training with her pup. This led to me getting into agility training and just general dog training, which I have started to pick back up again. I am known as the family dog sitter, as my family has a combination of Pit Bulls, Bernedoodles, and hunting breeds, so I’ve worked with dogs of all shapes and sizes and stubbornness! Aside from dogs, I grew up volunteering at shelters where I adopted my own cat when I was 15, and eventually even landed a job as a zookeeper! As far as my own pets go, I currently keep it to my cat, fish and my wonderful Bearded Dragon, Albus. From my own pets, work experience, and love of training, I really have worked with everything from lizards to rodents to dogs to elephants! One consistency throughout my experience is my love for animals, and my passion to improve the quality of their life! Specific skills: - Puppy/Adult dog training - Hoofstock care and training (goats, horses, exotics) - Reptile care I currently work from home, so I have the availability to work from wherever I need to. This also gives me the option to walk/train during my breaks. I have weekend availability as needed as well. I am able to stay over at a pet owner’s home if needed, however I prefer to host pets in my own home whenever possible. I currently have a 1 year old mixed breed who absolutely LOVES having the company! As always, your pet’s safety is my number one concern. I am trained in identifying and understanding animal behavior and will not put your animal in a position where they do not feel safe. I am also a huge advocate for leash laws and ADA regulations protecting service dogs, so these will always be respected and enforced in my care. I am a huge advocate for animal enrichment, working as a zookeeper in the past taught me how important mental stimulation is for an animal, and how when paired with proper exercise can mitigate behavioral issues in pets. This is something I would love to bring to the table for my clients!

About: I have been taking care of dogs both large and small, young and old, for as long as I can remember! I got my first dog when I was 3 years old, and have had a dog by my side ever since! I have dog sat for friends and family members with dogs of all different breeds, backgrounds and ages. My first job as a teenager was at a local dog kennel & vet office where I learned a lot about helping a dog feel safe and comfortable while away from home! We have a dog (35lb 2 y/o golden doodle) who absolutely loves making new friends, and a cat who keeps to herself but gets along well with other animals when she does come out to play. My husband works from home and my work schedule is flexible meaning the pets are not frequently home alone. I have a very flexible work schedule paired with my husband working from home most days of the week to prevent extended time home alone for any pets. We have a dog who loves to make new friends and a cat who is comfortable around dogs but tends to keep to herself. We have a large yard and go outside with the dogs (on leash) to ensure they stay safely in the yard at all times.

“Nick did a great job. He was welcoming, communicated, and did a great job caring for my dog, Jae. I would definitely recommend. Jae and I plan to visit again, Nick! Thank you!”

About: I have taken care of pets for my entire life! I also have experience in senior care, like administrating medications and other accommodations. I am currently in my undergrad for medical illustration and I am taking pre-vet classes. You won’t find someone as loving and caring to your pets as I am. I am currently on summer vacation, so I am super flexible and available to devote 100% of my attention to your pet for any length of time. I pay lots of attention to detail, and am great at following your directions. I have a roomy apartment, and live with two other animal lovers. Right outside my apartment is lots of yard space for walks and playtime! I will spend most of my time caring for your pet engaging with them and loving them!

About: I used to raise a pug of my own since he was born. He lived until ten and half years old and passed away in 2023 due to hemangiosarcoma. He had it growing slowly over time for few years until the end. There is not much treatments to it which was frustrating and heartbreaking. But he had lived his best life and actually lived his life to the fullest with his silly, wild, and stubborn personalty along with his three legs. He will always be my half and in my heart forever. I am sorely missing him forever. He had been taken care of with plenty of food, love, attention and toys! He met so many people, other dogs including cats! He traveled to many places because he loved to explore! His favorite thing to do is sniff every plant in the nature and mark on them! He is fond over stuffed toys. I take him to vet regularly as necessary to keep tracking on his good health. I also has a lot of experiences with medium to large size dogs before such as black lab, German sheperd, and pit bull. I believe that dogs should be treated as family members with care/love and they are so much alike us emotionally. After all, I am a crazy animal lover and love the compassion/company from furkids. I have plenty of treats and toys for your loved furkid to play with! I love to walk the dogs through the nature trail, too. You are more than welcome to contact me about my dog/cat sitting service! Available almost 24/7. I currently work four overnight shifts a week, but I do sleep five to 8 hours and often woke up to do errands around the house to take care of everything. So, I am mostly available at all times for anything except sleep hours. I tend to sleep at 8am to 2pm or 3pm, but after I woke up, I always check to feed, refill fresh water, and take the pets to restroom and check around the house. My place is near to some parks with long trails which is great for dogs who enjoy the walk! My place have a large space in the neat wooden floor basement (first floor) which will be a great play pen! The basement have the light windows and doors to the backyard! We also have large living room with big couch which our pets love to jump around and play! As for cats, I have a large bedroom which is quiet with door locked at all times. I often access to my bedroom everyday. My cat is currently loving his cozy life in my bedroom with everything of what he have including his own famous cat tree!

About: *If you are UNSURE if will need boarding DO NOT send me a boarding request unless you are 100 percent sure you need services, please and thanks. Be sure to fill out the questions about your pet fully prior to contacting me, so I can inform myself about your dog. *I must preface that this site is not my primary way of booking dogs so the calendar may not always be up to date. The best way to know my availability is to message me once your service needs and dates are cemented. I provide a specific service accepting one dog at a time. I own a home that I work out of as well. I do a family dog style stay, rather than kennel format I do family style boarding. I can stick to your routine or we can do something different like getting your dog out for more walks. I understand how difficult it can be to find a place for your dog to feel the same security they do in your home with your family. I realize many people are adopting dogs that need strong handlers dogs that may be reactive or have social issues. I also understand how difficult it can be to find a boarder who is skilled in this area and a handler that your dog feels comfortable and confident with specifically if they are reactive with other dogs. And it is for this reason, I only board multiple dogs if they live in the same home. I will not accept a cold booking without meeting the dog first. Based on 24 hour schedule extra days past scheduled time naturally occur extra fees. I work for myself from home so I make my own schedule daily. I can adjust to any schedule. I typically have the dog on a nice regular routine while here. I care for all pets as if they were my own. I only take one animal at a time all of my repeat clients return for this reason alone.

“Alison watched Bennie for a full day and Bennie seemed to love it! We got picture of him at the end of the day and he was good and tired when I picked him up. Would recommend!”

About: I am a young college student living in an apartment in the West Henrietta area working remotely for the summer with my roommate! Aside from majoring in animation at RIT, I also happen to be a pet adorer! I have a miniature schnauzer of my own back home, and I have been pet sitting for a few years throughout my time in school. I have experience with dogs of various sizes, as well as cats! I have also worked with puppies, siblings, and some older dogs as well. No matter what kind of friend you have, they will have a ton of fun here with my roommate and I, with both a dog park within a two minute walking distance from the apartment, and beautiful walking trails throughout the neighborhood. Your pets needs will be comfortably met here and I am happy to meet returning visitors! Though each dog has their own needs, I myself am a highly physically active person, and I take daily walks/ runs. I would love to have a friend join me for some of my outdoor exercise, however downtime and playtime are available throughout the day as I do work remotely. Within the apartment, spaces are made safe for pets of all kinds and sizes. Pets are allowed on furniture as well, so if your special pup is a big cuddler, they are welcome here! As for a feeding schedule, I follow client instruction that is pet specific, which is available for walks as well, however pets have the option of great outdoor exercise as well. There is both a dog park and walking trails within the neighborhood, both within a two to three minute walking distance from the apartment.

“Alex and Bayern were both amazing hosts. We were in town for a wedding and didn’t want to leave Ziggy by himself. They took really great care of Ziggy and made him (and us) feel at home. We would highly recommend them and we’ll always return to them whenever we’re back in town. Thank you being such amazing hosts and taking care of Ziggy!”
