Doggy Day Care in Columbia City

About: I have been involved in several volunteer groups for pets and rescue organizations. I’m sure I could help your peace of mind when you need. I’m currently working for Rover full time. I’m looking to make this a career path and I’m trying to earn more than happiness from Rover. My apartment has a private entrance and I have parks and trails to take them near me that are secure. I have multiple options for boarding.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a little girl. My grandma raised and sold dachshunds for as long as I can remember. I helped her a lot growing up, from training them, feeding them, walking them etc. I have experience training puppies and also take care of elderly dogs. My dog I’ve had since my childhood turned 13 this year she’s super fragile and sweet. I have house sitted for friends and families over the years weather that was dogs or cats or all animals (I took care of horses too). I love all breeds and sizes of dogs, never met a dog I didn’t like. I make my own routine/schedule for work and so I can be pretty flexible as to when and how many times I see or walk your dog. I have a fenced in yard and about an acre of land for them to roam! We live in a good neighborhood and can take them for long walks around the lake! I can feed, walk, wash, train, and or play with your lovely dog◡̈

My husband is not working at the moment though and has full availability! :) We have a fenced in yard and 2 other doggies to keep your fur baby company!

About: Hi I'm Gina! Caring for animals has always come naturally to me. l've spent my entire life taking care of animals of all types and personalities. Along with 20 years of experience taking care of dogs and cats, I've also cared for exotic pets of all types and sizes from Reptiles, mice, birds and more, to large farm animals 200+ pounds. I've cared for animals of all ages throughout my life, from kittens and puppies, to seniors who need more patience and support. I know how to move slowly when I need to, I know how to make animals feel at home in my space when their person isn't with them. My energy level is adaptable to the energy I get from your pet. Whether your animal wants a peaceful space or a fun getaway I can provide that. What sets me apart is the way I energetically connect with animals. Animals have been drawn to me since I was little. I study animal behavior on the side so I'm able to notice shifts in behavior easily. I am also experienced in training animals and I'm on the path to become a certified trainer. My current schedule and circumstances allow for boarding stays and day care at my house. I will always go the extra mile to be there to you and your animals! Thank you🫶🏻❤️ I respect the unique rhythm of every animal and I follow instructions to a T. Whether it's sticking to feeding routines, cleaning up with care, administering meds, or offering quiet company, I show up fully. My presence is gentle, adaptable, and entertaining; something animals tend to trust quickly. I have 6 dogs who are in a sectioned off part of the house and I have a big yard and a nice neighborhood to take pets outside on walks. I don't have a fence but I am extremely careful about it. I am able to handle animals three times my weight and I have never and would never let anything happen to your precious pet! I take pride in having a safe space for all animals in my care!

About: I have always had animals in my life all shapes, and sizes all species and breeds. I have had dogs, cats, birds, squirrels, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, fish, gerbils, racoons I have helped take care of horses, and cows and chickens. I have watched and cared for so many animals in my life and I love every min of it. I am currently a kennel supervisor, doggy daycare attendant, and a petcare specialist at a pet boarding facility in fort wayne. I truly love my job and all our clients that i deal with everyday. I couldn't be happier than I am right now working with animals. I am also a wildlife rehabilitator I have always dreamt of doing what I'm doing right now. Taking care of animals isn't what I do it's who I am. I work with and around animals everyday either here at home with my 5 dogs, 3 cats, 3 coons, and 2 squirrels or at Work. If at your home I will care for them the only way I know how to like they were my own. I will strive to make them the happiest furbabies while your away. I can't wait to be able to spoil your furbaby till you return home.

“Alexis is absolutely awesome! She does such a great job watching Brutus and always makes sure he’s happy, safe, and well cared for. You can tell she genuinely cares about him, and that gives us total peace of mind. Brutus loves her, and we couldn’t ask for a better person to trust with him. Highly recommend Alexis to anyone looking for someone reliable and amazing with dogs!”

“She was a lifesaver on a short notice Friday/Saturday when I had to go out of town for events with my son. I was so worried about Nova being a puppy and so full of energy and in a strange home overnight on the first boarding. Samanta messaged me updates and photos and made me feel much better!! Definitely will call her in the future if I need to.”

Pamela D.

“Lara was very accommodating for our last minute request for a sitter for the day with Choko and he enjoyed his day with her and her fur-babies! We will def use her again. ?”

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 8 years old and love them so much. Dogs are so much fun! I have four kids who love dogs as well! We would love the chance to snuggle & play with your fur baby! I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to walk your dogs and play with them!

We live in a neighborhood where we can easily go on walks!

About: Hi! I’m Alicia. I’m a second grade teacher and lifelong Fort Wayne resident. I’ve had pets my entire life, but currently have none of my own, so I’m looking forward to babying yours this summer! I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets behind, so I’m grateful for the opportunity to offer them a quiet, kid-free, pet-free, low-stress environment to settle into while you’re away. I’m extremely reliable, caring, and patient. Whether your pet needs medication, a consistent routine, or extra time to warm up to someone, I’m happy to adjust to whatever works best for them (and for you). Whether I’m with them for a drop-in or overnight stay, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Plus, I love to take pictures and document our adventures, so you can expect regular updates and plenty of photos while you’re away. Feel free to reach out to set up a time to chat or schedule a meet and greet! As a teacher, my summers are especially flexible for drop-ins, daycare, and overnight stays. When school starts (August-May), I’m limited to before and after school drop-ins, but always open to schedule overnight stays at your house or mine especially on weekends or holidays! At my house, your pets will be the only pets in the home, so they’ll get all of the attention they deserve! My house is pet-proofed and I’m very committed to ensuring your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for.
