Doggy Day Care in Clare

“Jackie was so accommodating & flexible. Such a great communicator. She provided plenty of pics/videos throughout the day which was greatly appreciated since this was our first time using Rover. Would definitely recommend Jackie!”

“Skye had such a good time with Charley! We were a little nervous because Skye gets pretty bad separation anxiety, but she was happy and tired out when we picked her up from day care. Charley was calm and comfortable with Skye and we could see that Skye took to her right away. Thank you Charley for everything!”

Ingrid C.

“Catkins was so good with Coco. She was patient and followed all my instructions for my puppy. I was so scared to leave her with her because of me not knowing her but she was very gentle and kind with my puppy. She updated me as often as I liked.”

“Jennifer is simply amazing for both my dog and my piece of mind. In a single week of daycare, she has helped give my dog the confidence he needs to lessen his anxiety issues. Her communication is phenomenal. The pictures are adorable. The report cards are thorough and provides great suggestions, and she's very flexible with my crazy schedule. She is quite truly an angel, when we needed one the most!”

“Chris and Dan were responsive, helpful and generous. They did a fabulous job with my pup and went above and beyond by brushing him out and giving him treats for good behavior. I will happily have Chris and Dan look after him whenever I need a sitter in Rockford.”

About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I have always been interested in having a career working with animals but decided to be a stay at home mother instead, now all my babies are in school full time and am very excited to start this journey and be able to put my passion for animals to work! I’m a stay at home mom with two small dogs. I am home all day and available for all your fur babies needs! I am up early and late and available all day for them. I have a nice sized fenced in yard and I am available to be with them all day and night for any needs they have.

About: When I was 7 years old I got my first puppy. His name was Jake, a baby lab. I trained him myself and raised him throughout his entire life. I have a natural affinity with animals. I am great at figuring out what my furry baby needs from me, I am also great at calming down irritable pups. My puppy passed 5 years ago due to health conditions and I instantly got two more. I now have two Australian shepherds who are very high energy and need a lot of love, play, and attention which I always provide top quality. I have also been relied on by friends and family countless times to take care of their puppies or all different kinds. Pictures of these beautifies can be found in my profile. I feed, walk, bathe, play, and much more with them, I know they always enjoy themselves and their owners are always greatfull and eager for me to watch them again. I have even taken care of peoples bunnies, reptiles, crustaceans, cats/kittens (I am allergic to cats so I am less likely to take them on). The dogs I have taken care of have been xs-xl sized so I can handle myself, even two animals at a time would be no problem. Currently, my schedule is very flexible as I am working with DoorDash where I get to schedule my own work times and days (based on the area and how busy it is). This allows me a lot of time to devote towards your furry baby! I work the most from 4-9:30pm on weekdays and weekends (primarily). Weekdays are more negotiable than weekends, as these are my only jobs currently. There will never be a time where I need to focus on both jobs simultaneously, any furry baby with me will have my undivided attention! My home is a very safe, clean, and organized environment. So, there will be no worry for any choking hazards, sharp objects, or hazardous foods/liquids in furry reach. That being said there is also a door that blocks off the kitchen area. If there is any specific housing instructions, I will cater to them to the best of my abilities!

About: I have two years of vet tech experience with about any animal you can think of! I have intubated dogs, started IVs, done CPR, etc. I have been around animals since I was a little girl! Grew up taking care of pigs, horses, dogs, cats, and cows! I have a huge love for all animals, and have cared for all kinds and all ages! I am a student with a very flexible schedule and always around on the weekends! My animals have always been a priority in my life and yours animals would be too! I have all online classes so I spend all day at home. I will always do my best to keep your dog in its natural environment, whether that’s sleeping in a crate or on the bed! Whatever the owners preference is!

About: I work from home and am a fur baby mom to 2 dogs and a cat. Caring for pets comes naturally, I can hardly remember a time where dogs weren't a part of my life! I love them and love caring for them! My 2 pups are always eager to play with new friends too! I have a ranch style home with a fenced in yard with plenty of room to run and play! Of course, any special diets will be strictly adhered to provided you supply what is needed as well. From puppies to seniors, I will care for them all! Your pup is sure to feel the love in my home. Feel free to ask any questions. Hope to meet you and your fur baby soon! I work from home, so I'm available to let out pups for potty breaks or go on a short walk throughout the day. Treats are at the ready too! My pups are spoiled and receive lots of love and attention throughout the day, and so will yours! Can't wait to meet your fur baby!

About: I have taken care of many dogs in my neighborhood for years. I had a German Shorthair Pinter I trained. I have had a umber of cats over the years. My dog now is 14 yes.! I am a retired teacher so I have the time to care for your dogs! I am available everyday. I do attend church on Sunday’s for 3 hours. Other wise I’m am home all day. First thing in the morning we are out the door for a walk around the neighborhood. We come the dogs have a fresh clean bowl of water and a treat. My dog eats around 12 o’clock. I feel his bowl up with his favorite dog food from blue buffalo. Second walk of the day is around noon outside around the neighborhood check in with some of the friends dogs and back home. We take a little nap around 2 o’clock and then back out for another walk around five. My dog gets another bowl full of blue buffalo. Sometimes he eats it and sometimes he waits and eats it later in the evening. We go out approximately between nine and 10 o’clock. The last of the day potty breaks. I try to keep the same schedule for the dogs so they know what they have to do when we go outside.

About: I had family pets throughout my childhood that I would help take care of. Now, I have 2 dogs of my own! they are both two years old and have a ton of energy.

I have an adorable friendly golden retriever and high energy ausiedoodle that always wantto play, I have many toys and treats, and a crate if needed. If your fur baby needs anything specific gladly let me know!

“Pamela is truly the best! We reccomend her to every single petparent! She made us feel so welcome at the moment we met for a meet and greet. We knew right away,our dog Isla will be in great hands.

Thank you Pam! We had a fun day! Love, Isla”

About: I’ve had dogs for 18+ years and I have knowledge of what they need and can do it. Also, I’ve watched other family and friends pets before. Currently, I have a cat as well that is a year old. Currently I am staying in DeKalb for the summer and have a bunch of free time. Weekends are great opportunities for me to walk your furry friend! I have a dog at home who I feed, walk and take care of. I’ve had to make food for dogs before that isn’t only kibble and would do the same if a client had asked.

About: I grew up with dogs all of my life. We always had at least one dog and usually a cat growing up. My family and I now have 3 dogs- Cocker Spaniel, Bernedoodle, and a Beagle mix. We treat our dogs as family- humans. I consider them my children. I am a former foster for Tails, but unfortunately I had to give that up due to getting attached to them all. ❤️ *update- I’m fostering again! 🥰💕❤️ I am a stay at home mom to my 3 dogs! My 15, 12, and 6 year old are in school all day. I am home all day besides an occasional errand, school drop off/pickup, or an after school or weekend sporting event for my boys. My husband also has a flexible work schedule. In fact, I usually have him come along on meet & greets so that we can tag team visits if need be. We have a Petsafe invisible fence. If you have a Petsafe collar, then it should work at my home. Besides the Petsafe invisible fence, we have an extra long tie out in the backyard. We also have a fenced in area near the pool which is unavailable during pool season otherwise open. I recently put up a fenced area that is suitable for dogs that aren’t jumpers or strong. Our yard is about half an acre. I’m happy to walk a dog on a leash in the yard or around the neighborhood as well. We have a beautiful walking path nearby. I also love giving the option to pet owners for in home visits while they’re gone. Sometimes a pet is more content and comfortable in their own home. I’m happy to visit 3-4 times a day to provide some company, feed, and allow for potty breaks. It’s really a great option for many who don’t enjoy being boarded at a facility.
