Doggy Day Care in Castleton

“Sean and his wonderful family are so kind. My dog loves to visit with them and their dogs! I feel very comfortable that my girl is well loved when I’m absent.”

“Hope was awesome. Would highly recommend. Hope took my dog on along walk and her dog was super friend and a great playmate! Would definitely recommend!”

“My dogs played with her dog and were very happy throughout their stay. Josephine was flexible with my crazy schedule, making it less stressful. She lives in a quiet area with lots of room for the dogs to explore. They came home and slept hard for over nine hours!”

About: I have about 10 years of hands-on dog experience and a solid understanding of dog body language, behaviour, and psychology. I am also currently working on gaining my first dog training certification. My training specialty has landed on service dogs, but I still have experience with basic obedience, tricks, and behaviour modification. I’m also about to begin my journey in dog grooming! Currently this is my full time job, which means I am home nearly 24/7 to care for your dog. In the case I do need to step out it’s rarely for more than 3 hours. For dogs boarding with me, we start the day with a bathroom break and short play session (if interested). Then dogs are fed breakfast and given at least 30-45 minutes of down time. After that we may have daycare dogs join us. Then we adjust depending on the dogs’ personalities and preferences. We could spend the day playing, just hanging out, or a bit of both! Throughout the day we take at least 2 short breaks and 1 long break to ensure everyone stays hydrated and has a chance to rest. If anyone gets dirty I will rinse and dry them off before pick up to ensure they go home clean. As our yard is unfenced dogs go outside on a leash or long line unless e-collar trained. I also have two large crates as well as an x-pen on hand to ensure dogs have their own space for breaks, meals, and sleep. If for some reason a dog needs a muzzle (e.g. eats rocks) I have 1 on hand for a medium-large dog.

“Alyssa is above and beyond my expectation! We don’t live near the area so we were worried about leaving them in an unfamiliar area however she conducted very thorough communications with me beforehand and made sure that we get updates regularly throughout our dog’s day care session. I highly recommend her! She also has the cutest golden retriever who is super friendly with dogs! :) i’ll definitely get back to her when we have another trip around the area.”

“Desiree was amazing, she responds very quickly. My 2 month old puppy came back so exhausted and I had updates and pics throughout the day. I will recommend everyone to her! And she is worth tipping because she gave excellent service.”

“Jaimi took great care of our dog while we were skiing. She was incredibly flexible with our schedule and our pup came back happy and well cared for. She was fantastic - highly recommend!”

“Richard has been renting from me for about six months and helping with the dogs I have here when I get busy. He has helped in the past when I have needed an extra helper with some of the dogs I have. He helps me to organize the feeding and sometimes brings them out for walks so we can get them out in a timely manner. He is a loving and responsible person who can be trusted with your dog as he has always had dogs in his life, getting his first dog (a Great Dane mix) when he was ten years old. He has cared for my dog Maebe numerous times and she loves him dearly.”

“Alissa was great with our puppy! Patient with his puppy-ness and he had a great time in her huge fenced back yard! We had now worried at all leaving him there.”

“Lorries would make a great pet sitter/walker. She's a true animal lover. She has watched my animal many times over the years. She is totally trustworthy and caring. She would be a great asset to Rover.com Shelley Bartolini”

“Zachary took such great care of my 3 year old Jack Russell. He came outside with a treat to get on her good side right away, and sent me lots of pictures and videos throughout the day. My mom picked her up and said how happy Mila was with Zachary. 10/10! I will definitely be booking with Zachary again in the future.”

“Karly loves animals and has a big heart! My dog is skittish around new people, but he took to Karly right away! I would definitely recommend Karly!”

“Laura and her family are the best and treat my pup like her own and I couldn’t be more grateful for her! Bo had the best time and I was updated the entire day with pictures and videos. Definitely recommend and will be returning 🙂”

“Pacey's heart has always been a lover of dogs. She takes great pride in her work with all animals big and small. She will take care of your pet as if it is her own. She is responsible and reliable. I would highly recommend Pacey to care for your pets.”

About: I have been taking care of pets for years from dogs, cats, snakes, birds... even an alligator! As a nurse, I have natural caring instincts for people and pets alike. I work from home daily and therefore have plenty of time to play around with my fur buddies! When my wife come home from work we typically enjoy family evening strolls, couch cuddles, and lots of belly rubs! We have a small yard and plenty of areas nearby for walks/hikes. We are able to easily accommodate the living environment for individual pet needs. We also have 2 very friendly fur babies of our own!

“We were in town for a wedding and another sitter canceled on us so we reached out to Andrea and she was able to take them last minute. Our one guy is timid usually but immediately let her pet him! We felt instantly comfortable with Andrea, her pups and her home. We knew they would be in good hands! Our pups loved both her and her husband and we are so thankful our guys were safe and happy!! If we are ever in town again, we will be booking with Andrea!”

“I’m so grateful for the gift of having Laura provide doggie care for my 13 year old and 5 year old rescue dogs. They love her. I trust her as a guide and protector of my innocent babes who are mischievous at times. When I’m at work I know they are learning cool tricks for their treats, getting out to smell the doggie love letters. Safe, secure, happy. Highly recommend 💯 % true blessing for our family. Thank you Laura 💖”
