Doggy Day Care in Council Oak, South Bend, IN

“Chris looked after Frida for the day. We wanted her to meet the entire pack prior to a longer stay over the weekend. I appreciated the flexibility around drop off and pick up times, the update with picture. We look forward to having Chris care for Frida again soon!”

About: I have a two dogs and a cat. I've fostered for different rescues in the area and can provide references upon request. We've had every type of pup here and haven't ever had to turn one away. I have areas separated by gates for our cat friends to feel secure and rest if needed. I have two litter boxes, one on each level. My pup is Ollie, a yellow lab born around 2014. He was a rescue from Homeward Bound animal shelter and is the best boy! Paddy (Padfoot), my Labradooodle was born around 2021 and has such a sweet disposition! He was also adopted from Homeward Bound. I've also fostered dogs through SBARC and for Homeward bound. I love helping our furry friends feel comfortable and loved.

“Christina went above and beyond!! I had a last minute request and very late night pick up and she was so helpful and accommodating. I highly recommend trusting your pets with her!”

“We were very pleased with the care our beagle received. Her back yard is fenced which allowed Spencer to be outside without a leash, which he loves. Will use her again, absolutely!”

“I 100% recommend Kara to care for your pups! She has a great fenced in yard, is very experienced, and is so kind and responsive. She will treat your fur babies like her own.”

“Jamie was wonderful to work with. Our pup really enjoyed his day. We could tell because he was tired when we picked him up! I would definitely recommend Jamie.”

“Ingrid was great! She accommodated our last minute needs, and took great care of my little guy. I picked him up and he was happy and tired and fell asleep in the car immediately. Whenever we're in town again, we'll definitely call her!”

“Ava is absolutely amazing with all animals! She has watched my dog Bronco multiple times and he is always so excited to see her! I trust Ava with all of my pets and would 100% have her watch them anytime. She cares for them like her own and always makes sure to send updates and photos! She is awesome and I would definitely trust her with any animals.”

“I always highly recommend Jessica! She is SO good with our doggo, Maddy. Maddy gets along so well with Jess’s dogs, and she always seems so happy when I pick her up. She is normally an anxious dog, but never has any issues with Jess. And Jess is SO good about sending pictures and updates during the day!”

“Rascal had so much fun spending the day with Maria and her family. Really felt like I was leaving Rascal at his second home. Will definitely be coming back to Maria!”

“Lydia is very reliable, trustworthy and a pet lover. She’s professional and loves the outdoors. If your pet enjoys hiking, running or playing outside, Lydia would be great!”

“Absolutely love love how Karen takes care of my puppy Crystal. She is very caring about her needs, has a flexible schedule, and is very kind.”

“Lourie is an amazing person because she is kind, loving, compassionate and caring. She loves animals, particularly dogs, and she is so good to them and with them. She fully embraces the Pet Parent mindset with her own dog. She spoils her rotten because that's her Baby. But, she is also very conscientious and responsible in wanting to raise her Baby to be a Good Girl and grow up to be a happy, healthy dog. Lourie would be an excellent choice to work for you and in tending to any doggie put into her care.”

“Val kept us informed a couple times throughout the day. I felt at ease leaving my puppy with her. I would definitely use her again and recommend her service.”

“MEGAN: M- Matronly, and motherly E- Endlessly energetic G- Generous, and gregarious A- Animal enthusiast N- Not enough letters in her name to paint the entire picture of WHO she is, WHAT she can do, and WHY given the chance EVERYONE SHOULD WANT TO HIRE HER FOR ALL YOUR SERVICE NEEDS! So I’ll continue below: She genuinely loves animals of all breeds, and types. She is an amazing dog mom to 2 very large, and in charge extra needs doodles. She is a step-dog mom to an even needier husky. She is an aunt to 5 cats, 2 chickens, and a rescue dog. She is beyond qualified, and deserving for this role. She is the most hard working, and determined young woman I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing! Final thoughts; 11/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND. 🫶🏻 P.S. All the pets under her care are more spoiled, and loved than she herself! They only eat the FINEST of foods & treatos. They have all of the latest gadgets, accessories, and toys. They go on ALL of the best “byes.” And their healthcare is managed much better than most humans 😂”

“Nicholas did a great job watching my dog!”

“Brooke was amazing with my baby! I felt so comfortable leaving my baby in her hands from the start of talking to her. She sent me daily updates and truly was a perfect fit for my baby!”

“Valeria is the type of person to stop the group she’s walking with to point out a cute dog a block away. She loves dogs almost more than people, probably more than some people, and she shows it by taking care of her dog as her child. I’d trust my dog with his life with a person like her.”

“Christina is a true animal lover! As the owner of two pups herself (one large and one small), she is adept at handling multiple dogs at a time. She also loves cats and will not only clean their litter boxes but also shower them with attention. She is reliable, caring, and responsible. She has pet sit for me before, and it is always a relief to know that my two furry friends will be well cared for while I am away!”

“Katherine was great and our Lillie was very happy staying with her.”
