Doggy Day Care Bayham

About: Hi! I’m a local animal lover, mom to an active 7-year-old, and dog mom to our beagle, Ruby. Animals have always been my thing—backed by formal veterinary office administration training and hands-on clinic experience. Whether your dog is joining us for a fun day in the yard or a cozy overnight stay, they'll be treated like family. I also offer home drop-in visits for cats—while I'm strictly a dog person at home, I'm more than happy to pop in, feed, and check in on your feline friends when you're away! I keep things balanced and flexible around here as I work through my correspondence studies, so I'm always happy to help busy local pet parents out. What I offer is part-time boarding, doggy daycare, and feline drop-in visits. Boarding > Offered on alternating Fridays/weekends. Daycare & *Drop-ins > Daycare on Mondays–Wednesdays & Friday’s > Drop-in’s on Monday-Wednesdays & Weekends (Friday-Sunday) *Note: On my "off" weekends, I focus exclusively on cat drop-in visits. Drop-in visits are dedicated exclusively to feline care, providing feeding, litter maintenance, and plenty of love for your cat while you're away! • Ready to Book? Please check my calendar on my profile for my most up-to-date availability. I currently welcome pups 40 lbs or less for boarding and daycare. • I live in a smoke-free, 2-bedroom house with a fully fenced backyard where visiting pups can safely play & stretch. • I offer local pickup and drop-off! All guests ride securely in a clean back seat with protective covers and dog seatbelt leashes. • Backed by a lifelong love for animals and hands-on experience, I treat every pet with the patience, care, and individual attention they deserve.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and caring for them brings me so much joy. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra TLC. I believe every dog has their own personality and needs, and I love getting to know each one individually. My home is a calm and pet-friendly space, and I treat every dog that visits like family. I also understand how hard it can be to leave your pet in someone else’s care, which is why I make communication a top priority. I’m always happy to send photos and updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. As a full-time stay-at-home wife, I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the day to care for your pup. Whether it’s a midday walk, or last-minute drop-ins, I’m here to help. I’m home most of the time, which means your dog will get lots of attention, interaction, and supervision—no long stretches alone. We have a friendly puppy of our own who loves to make new doggy friends! It’s a great environment for dogs who enjoy socializing and playing with others. I keep a calm, structured home where pets can feel safe and loved, and I’m happy to work with your pet’s specific routine or needs. Because I’m always nearby, I can give frequent potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles. I also provide quick responses and regular photo updates to keep you in the loop. My goal is to make you and your pet feel as comfortable and cared for as possible! I live in an house and go for daily walks, I also go across the road to a fairground to let my pup run around when we aren’t playing in our backyard!

About: I would love to give my attention and care to your pet, so while your away you know they are getting all the love and care they deserve!! I have been a pet owner for many years as well as fostering. I have an open schedule which I can work with to accommodate your timeline. If you need anything extra, just ask! I will always try to make things work. I live on a farm, free from kids and other dogs. If I was giving the opportunity, I would make sure your dog would have the best experience possible!!

“Josey is wonderful! Very calm, caring, and confident with dogs, she definitely understands them well. And her backyard is a dream for any dog! Very happy with her care, and will be using her again :)”

About: Over 30 years of dog ownership and care. I am a retired Pharmacy Technician so I have lots of experience with medications and administration. Large property for exercise. Indoor area for playtime. We’ll treat your furry friend like we do our own, showering them with love, cuddles, and treats while following your dog’s specific diet requirements. I’m a retired pharmacy technician, so I’m very familiar with medications and administration. My husband works nights, so there’s always someone here to have naps with. We have over 10 acres of land, including about 8 acres of bush with walking paths. There’s a fully fenced dog run attached to the house for bathroom breaks. We have a large room dedicated to indoor play and rest, and a large, cleared outdoor area for playing fetch and water activities when the weather is nice. There’s plenty of shade for relaxing on hot days. We’ve always dreamed of running a boarding kennel or daycare. As dog owners for over 30 years, we’ve mostly had more than one dog at a time. Years ago, we even had a litter of eight Labs! Currently, we have three dogs: Jenny, a retriever mix female we helped rehome when she was 10 months old; Oscar, our 8-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog; and Maverick, our 4-year-old Red Retriever. We also have our grand puppy, Cooper, a 4-year-old Basset Hound, who lives in an attached apartment with our son, daughter-in-law, and grandson. Cooper is with us when his parents work. All dogs are welcome on the furniture and beds. We’re non-smokers and have elderly parents, one in a wheelchair, living with us. We also have a new baby in an attached apartment.

“Nayeli was amazing with our little fur baby. He had lots of fun and eat well. I will definitely be booking with Nayeli again. Nayeli provided pictures and updates of our little one. She is awesome”

“Great experience, Rita was very accommodating to our dog. Specially our dog is a rescue and needs some time to get to know the person. Rita made it easy and our dog has warmed up faster than we thought!”

About: As a dog owner for over 4 years, I have hands-on experience with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, basic grooming, administering medications when needed, and providing a safe and loving environment. Caring for my own dog has taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of understanding each pet’s unique personality and needs. I treat every pet like family and strive to make them feel comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide pets with consistent care, attention, and companionship throughout the day. Daily walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and potty breaks are already part of my routine, ensuring pets receive plenty of supervision and affection while in my care. Pets in my home are treated like part of the family. I live in a house with a secure fenced yard, giving dogs plenty of space to safely run, play, and explore. I also have a friendly 4 year old golden retriever who enjoys companionship and can be a great playmate for social dogs.

“Sapphire loves going to Claudia’s. She has gotten to know Claudia and that makes it easier for me to leave her for the day. She enjoys playing with the other dogs.”

“Lara provides great care, and quickly understands your dog and what they need during their stay. Our dog loved being outside in their large fenced-in yard.”

“I’m pleased with the care shown to my furry friend during his stay with Sayali and family. I received picture updates throughout the day, which was greatly appreciated. He appeared happy and had other friends to play with. Thank you”

“She is wonderful! Liam loved her right away during the meet and greet. From the very first sitting, she went above and beyond. She was supposed to walk Liam and leave him at our house while we were away, but after receiving the hurricane amber alert, she immediately went to check on him and offered to take him to her home. We’re very happy to have found someone we can truly count on in town.”

“Candace is wonderful! I had no hesitation leaving Andy with her…he was in the very best of care.”

About: Having fostered and rescued stubborn Rottweilers, I know that helping animals is something I truly feel connected with. From gently coaxing porcupine quills from a scared dog's snout to mastering the art of skunk deodorizing, my experience is diverse. I'm committed to providing exceptional care for your furry companions." I work from home Monday to Friday and have transportation readily available. Work offers flex time, so mid day requirements are easily met. Happy to pet sit at my home during my home office work hours as well. In home = crate, no furniture, 100% leashed outdoors until mutual agreed on (approved sniff spot / fenced areas). In your home = the animal/owner preference, home yard rules applied.

“Diana was very loving with Harley, showing him lots of affection. My senior dog struggles with separation anxiety and she put him at ease. I look forward to Harley staying with Diana again and would recommend her to others looking for care!”

“I was initially very nervous at the thought of leaving Nora with someone while I go to work! Nora and I met Kollin, his girlfriend, and their fur babies for a meet and great, and I was immediately reassured that they would be a great fit for Nora. Nora loves playing with their fur babies and Kollin keeps me updated with videos, photos, and messages throughout the day while she is in their care. I look forward to having them look after Nora I’m the future!”

About: Every dog is different. I take time to understand your dog’s personality, energy level, diet, medical needs, and routines — so they feel comfortable and stress-free. I work from home and mostly available weekdays and weekends. Your dog will get my undivided attention and his safety is my top most priority I have a very big fenced yard and my dog will be there to accompany and play with your dog. We have bunch of toys in our backyard

“Amazing!! She did so much with them, constantly sent photo’s and videos of what they were doing and the dogs were having a blast! I would highly recommend! Great with the dogs and an all around great person!”

“I’ve rebooked with Jen multiple times for daycare and overnight stays. I’m someone who’s chronically anxious about leaving my pooch with someone new, but never with her! She’s so good at always sending updates and pictures on how the stay is going. Goose loves going to her place and hanging out with her family or playing with her dog! I wouldn’t ever hesitate to recommend her to anyone seeking a sitter.”

“I'm so happy I reached out to Sandra for daycare for my 9 month old herding pup, Buddy. She responded right away and asked all the right questions. I could tell right away she was a pro at reading dogs' body language and at kindly managing the behavioral issues we've been struggling with. She offered great advice and worked with him throughout his entire stay. He even trained at her side as she worked at the market which was an invaluable experience, especially for a nervous pup at his age. You can be confident leaving your pet with Sandra knowing they are in the best hands. I look forward to them spending more time together again soon.”
