Doggy Day Care Buckheaven

“It was the first time using this app and the first time our pup has been away from us (except when at the vet’s) and I couldn’t be any happier with the experience! Alex and his dog Reggie took great care of our 10 month old. She was a little nervous at first and it showed. That didn’t stop Alex from confidently taking her leash and walking her over to meet Reggie. She calmed immediately around Alex and in less than a minute was playing with Reggie. I’m so glad we found someone as experienced around dogs of various personalities and temperaments as Alex is. He sent a couple pics, too. All around fantastic experience!!”

“We have used other Day Care Sitters and Daniel J is by far the very best. Our doggie Otis can't wait to spend time with Daniel J and his loving care! I highly recommend Daniel J”

“Paula was absolutely wonderful with our puppy Tula. She is experienced, kind and gentle. Very knowledgeable and creates fun environment for our playful puppy.”

Marisela A.

“Vanessa was very communicative up front, explaining her typical daily approach with dogs in her care, visibly showing us the environment the dogs would be in, and outlining her credentials and passion for dogs. Drop off and pickup were very smooth, again with great communication, and our dog seemed to love his stay during daycare. We definitely plan to book with Vanessa again and recommend others do so as well.”

“Lauren was great! She was flexible & accommodating, loved on our Tucker dog, who can have high separation anxiety, and communicated with us through the day to let us know how he was doing and to verify any concerns. It was a blessing to have her watch him for the day, allowing him to join us on this trip but to know he was in good hands while we completed activities he could not join us for. We would definitely use Lauren again!”

“Chloe and her family took great care of our pup when we were in town for a softball tournament. She was really flexible in accommodating our last minute game schedules for drop off and pick up. ?”

“Izzy had a wonderful time, she was a little sad leaving and slept hard once she got back ?. So glad we found someone reliable to take care of our baby when we can't take her with us. We also loved receiving photos of her throughout the day.”

“Thank you and your family for making Nellie right at home. She likes it there. Her tail was wagging when I left her with you and she’s been happy and content ever since I picked her up. She had a really GREAT big day out. We look forward to another play day with Otis next week.”

“Elise was great! Very responsive and flexible with our pup! He had a great time playing!”

About: TLDR - I have experience with many types of pets with varying needs. I have two kids (ages 12 and 14) and many other creatures in the home. I am available for drops ins and walks, but longer term engagements would have to be at my home. I have a fully fenced yard and can welcome a dog to come stay in my home. Having grown up with dogs and cats, I am passionate about good animals care and will totally fangirl over your critter. I have previous obedience training experience and have taken three dogs to state for obedience competition. I have house trained many puppies, so I'm happy to support an owner in the trenches of the puppy years. I am available for weekend visits and walks every day. Over the years, I have cared for dogs and cats with varying medical and behavioral needs. From cats needing injections to highly reactive dogs neesing a calm presence, I have expertly cared for them all. I have two daughters, aged 12 and 14, who have lived their life around pets of all sorts and love to come with me when I am visiting a dog or cat. If you are not comfortable having them in your home, or your pet is not comfortable with kids, that is totally understandable. I am self-employed, so my schedule is flexible to allow to fit pet care into my schedule. I have a car so I am able to travel outside of my immediate neighborhood for pet care or house sitting. In my own home I have a fully fenced yard and space to run around. When I am out of the home I kennel my own dog, who has anxiety and that helps her feel more secure. My cats enjoy a fully enclosed catio in the back yard. I am cery careful to have dogs fully leashed before heading out the door to prevent any running into the street. I keep an eye on anything in a home that might cause injury to a pet.

“I left my dog with Brianna while I was sightseeing and everything went well! I really appreciated Brianna’s conscientiousness when it came to an intro and learning everything about my dog; she has a lot of knowledge but is also eager to learn specifics that will make your dog feel comfortable. She sent updates and let me know what was happening throughout the day. I would absolutely use Brianna again if I’m in the area!”

“I can’t say enough great things about Melani! She treats my dog like her own—he absolutely adores her, and I feel completely at ease knowing he’s in her care. Melani is truly his second mom. She’s reliable, incredibly accommodating, and very communicative, which makes scheduling so easy. I trust her so much that I use her multiple days every week while I’m at work. If you’re looking for someone who will love and care for your dog as much as you do, Melani is the one!”

“My little dog Clara absolutely adores Susan and Ian and their two big dogs. They have such a wonderful dynamic with their intelligent, energetic dogs, and it melts my heart to see Clara be welcomed into their pack. She comes home so happy and tired from a full day of exercise, play, affection, and relaxing among her favorite spots. Their pickup add-on is really wonderful, and Clara gets so excited when she realizes it's time to go have fun with Baz and Ruby! It is so special to see my little dog and other new friends in daycare all confidently playing together. Every daycare dog she's met with them has been an immediate friend--not always what you expect with a chihuahua away from mom and home--and that speaks to how thoughtfully Susan and Ian manage the group. They have a real gift for understanding different dogs so that they feel comfortable, safe, and included. I trust them completely with Clara and couldn't recommend them more highly.”

“Both Hayley and Graham have taken such special care of my labrador dog at their home. She loves the socialization and their home is very comfortable for doggy daycare. We appreciate you so much arranging your schedule to lovingly care for Emmie.”

About: I love animals and they love me. I will take special care of your pet. They will get Lots of attention and lots of walks. I’m a homebody so they will get a lot of attention And care. I also have a wonderful backyard and a doggie door So your dog can feel free to go outside whenever needed. My home is very clean. We have a wonderful big backyard lots of room to play and run. I also live close to many parks so we walk to the park a lot.

“I am very happy with Marla & Keith, because Cassie received a lot of one-on-one attention. Marla is an expert at making a new dog (Cassie) feel at home in a new environment. Cassie was welcomed on walks with the other dogs - all of them much bigger than she is. And she got lap time too. The photos were a nice bonus. 😊”

“Barbara was wonderful updating us on how Juno was doing. Juno seems to love playing with Nilla and Todd and exploring the treasure trove of toys in the house! We get the biggest smiles from her at Barbara’s”

“I must admit that I was a bit worried; it is one thing to take your pet to a commercial doggie day care, but to a stranger's home? Upon arrival at Irene's house, I was reassured and when Irene sent me pix of my Raffles playing with the other dogs and having an altogether great time, I was totally happy. Raffles got much more one on one care and love than he ever would have received at a commercial establishment, as it was a family affair. Thank you, Irene, and please thank your two daughters as well!”

About: I have 10 years of specific dog care experience—from the puppy stage through the senior years. I understand that different ages and breeds need differing levels of energy and respond in kind. I know how important it is for your pup to feel safe and calm but also know how to let them let loose and have fun/playtime! I adore dogs and can’t wait to help care for your fur baby for you. I’m a stay at home mom, so my schedule is fairly open. I can work in walks, visits, and feedings for your pup(s) as it works for you. I also have a fenced in back yard, and can offer day boarding as needed, so your fur baby will have access to space to run and play while staying safe. Happy to also offer short term boarding or in (your) home care for times when you are out of town. Based on your needs, I can keep your pet here at my home where I have a fenced in yard, and can also crate your pet, if that is something they are used to. On walks, I will always keep your pet leashed and will offer a calm and gentle environment at all times while they are in my home. If your needs require me to be in your home, I will follow any and all guidelines pertaining to your space.

“Great outdoor space. Love the way they introduced our dog to other dogs, slow and cautious so they have time to adjust. Highly recommend these people to care for your doggo, they are kind and loving. They gave regular updates and lots of photos. Would bring Fudge here again!”
