Doggy Day Care in Dayton

About: I grew up on a farm in Texas, where I had at least four dogs and six cats in the house throughout my life. I love pets more than anything! To that extent, I worked in a boarding kennel throughout high school and college before Rover existed. I now have five years of experience with Rover and Wag in multiple cities and states. My experience in boarding kennels and with Rover has allowed me to see and handle a wide range of situations in high-stress environments while having been professionally responsible for the safety and comfort of hundreds of animals. I will always provide compassionate care for your pets, as my goal is to make you feel comfortable and relaxed during your time away, just as much as your furry companions do with me. As a PhD student, I have the flexibility to read and write at home, and I enjoy alleviating stress with pet care. Additionally, my husband works from home, so the house almost always has a human or two around :) Pet safety is my number one priority. A close second is providing a comfortable and fun environment. For boarding and daycare, the basement is set up for pups to relax and play, and the house is segmented by gates to secure their safety as well as protect our belongings. I provide crates for separation if necessary, particularly around feeding time or depending on the night routine. Additionally, I have a spacious, fenced backyard (our favorite part of the house!), and I will always supervise pups when outside. I pick up poop immediately and keep an eye on whether curious mouths pick up things. For the extra adventurous pups, I also have a 30ft tie-out cable for additional security. Although I have a cat in the house, she stays exclusively in the primary bedroom, and with many gates and doors in place, the likelihood of the pups encountering her is extremely low. For drop-ins, I assure you that I will follow your directions and leave your home in the same condition as when you left it originally. My reviews can attest to that :)

“Elena was my first Rover experience—she really exceeded my expectations! She sent status updates and pictures throughout my pup’s visit, and he really enjoyed playtime with the other dogs. I definitely would love to bring my dog back the next time I need someone to watch him. Thanks so much for making it great for us!”

About: About Us: Hi, We're Weston and Jenny. We enjoy running, being outdoors, and taking care of furry friends. We have experience volunteering at the Humane Society and fostering dogs for local rescue organizations for over two years. My dog, Radley, has played with many different types of dogs through daycare and fostering, so he will be your dog's best friend when he/she visits. We frequently take the dogs to dog parks, go out on walks, and enjoy playing with them in our fenced in backyard. We would be happy to take dogs out on a run if they are familiar/ comfortable with running alongside. **Any activities involving other dogs will be based on your permission** Boarding: I have a fenced in backyard with plenty of room for dogs to run around in. My dog. Radley, is kennel trained for overnight stays and I have a designated room for the dogs to sleep in. Dogs are also allowed on the bed/furniture if that is what they are most comfortable with. I am currently working from home, so I am able to watch your dog for most of the day outside of running occasional errands. My house can be gated off in rooms for dogs that require more attention. I have a fenced in backyard, separate kennels, and one friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. There are always plenty of treats and toys around to keep your companion comfortable while you are away.

“Amazing person!!!! Oreo loves her!!! Will definitely use again when in Wisconsin!!!!”

“Kind and professional, very easy to work with and quick to respond. I needed somewhere for my girl to go where she could be around other dogs while I was swamped for the day, within 1 hour I had a daycare appointment set up with Brad. He sent me pictures of her smiling and cuddling while she was there. Will definitely be going back.”

Hilary H.

“Kilo came back very happy and sleepy from the day with Kristin and family. I got updates without having to ask, which I really appreciated. I think she had a great time and I’d trust bringing my pup back. Thanks again!!”

Kassie L.

“Thank you for being available to watch Georgia! I You were amazing with communication on how she was doing and also so kind in getting to know and love our dog. Looking forward to rebooking with you soon!”

“Mika has stayed with Cameron many times now and always comes back tired and happy! Have never had an issue and Mika is always excited to run in the door for daycare. Only good things to say!”

About: I grew up on a horse farm. I always had dogs for most of my life . Except when I lived in an apartment for a short time where I could not have one. My sister and I use to have fake dog shows as kids. It was so much fun. Now I have 2 loveable doggies of my own that i adopted . They love our fenced in backyard and my daughter and I walk them every day as a team.When Taylor was a toddler we would go out and visit grandma and aunt / sister and give chino her dog lots of love and walks. Also in the last 5 years my late moms dog rosie who was also adopted. Dogs are great.

About: We've been pet owners for over 20 years. We take care of them as members of the family. We are expirienced with animals that need extracare providing medications and helping them up and down of places as our dogs had artritis and cancer. We have 3 kids that love playing fetch and are hoping to teach new tricks to your pet. We both work from home so there is someone always with the pets. We do walks during the day and are available to feed and provide medicines 24/7 We feed them, give them a bath, walk with them, play with them, and love cuddles (my wife mostly). We try to estimulate their minds and body depending on their level of activity

About: I’m Kim and I’ve taken care of dogs most of my life. My husband and I are dog lovers! Once we could get a dog, we got a puppy. I have experience with puppy training and we are an active family. Currently, I have a seven year old dog as well so we are in a dog routine! I work in education and I currently am off for the summer so I am home most of the time. If I needed to go out I would crate your dog. I have a fenced yard so going out to run and go potty is no problem. Also, I have an adult dog so another dog to keep your dog company. I love to be active so walks are a part of our routine, if needed.

“Amy sent photos and updates during the day and gave him multiple walks. He was in a good mood when we picked him up. Look forward to working with Amy again.”

“Our big Labradoodle LOVED his first visit of Kathryn and Joe and their kids. They sent pictures while we were gone showing a happy dog and our dog was still happy (and a bit reluctant to leave) when we picked him up. I'm grateful we found Kathryn and Joe and will use them again.”

About: I have been pet sitting since I was a teenager I had my childhood dog for 17 years, so I understand all the needs an older dog might have. I currently have a 5 year old Bichon/Llasa Apso mix who loves other dogs. Any dog coming into my care will always be treated like my own and given the love they deserve. I currently work from home and am a single mom, so day time care is pretty easy to fit into my day. My best days for availability are Wednesday and Thursday. I will also have a smattering of availability on the weekends I have a big fenced in yard and a 5 year old dog named Gus, who will love spending time with your dogs. There are lots of great walking paths around my neighborhood to keep your pet happy and acurve. All pets are allowed on the furniture or in bed at night but I do have crates if that is preferred.

“Lincoln had a perfect day! I really appreciated the updates, videos, and photos from Maggie; it was great to see Lincoln happy and playing with her sweet pup Nova. So glad we have found Maggie and looking forward to her taking great care of Lincoln again soon.”

Jennifer D.

“Kate is amazing! Not only does she send you updates but she also is consistent with the training you and your dog are working on. She treated my dog like it was her own and I feel like my dog is so safe with her. Definitely going to Kate again!”

About: We are a family looking to host short term visits and love on puppies so my kids can experience taking care of dogs without the longterm commitment. We are a homeschooling family that have capacity to learn responsibility being supervised and give so much attention to puppies who need a place to stay while you travel! The intention of hosting your family pet is that they will be apart of our family while they stay with us and be loved and taken care of well instead of being kenneled.

“Perfect. My pup went into Christina and Jeremy's house a little nervous and came out wagging. Christina and Jeremy were well set up, easy to work with and clearly like dogs. My guy will be back!”

About: As a farm kid, animals (of every variety) have been part of my life for as long as I can remember! Now I get to share that joy with my family, our playful pup, our cat, & even our hedgehog! I have experience caring for dogs of all ages - from energetic puppies to calm seniors & I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I understand how important it is to keep your pets safe & feeling the love. And I love sending photo updates so you never miss a moment of their fun! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine because I currently work from home & have lots of flexibility. I love having extra paws around to keep me company during the day & taking breaks for walks or cuddle sessions fits naturally into my schedule. Between working from home & chauffeuring my daughter to her various extracurricular activities, I can give your pets plenty of attention & exercise throughout the week! In my home, pets are treated like part of the family! I provide a safe, loving environment with lots of attention & play. Dogs who are social & cat-friendly are welcome to play with my own friendly dog & we have 6 acres of open space for well-trained pups to explore off-leash (always under supervision). The dogs who aren’t quite ready for off-leash will simply get to explore while leashed. Indoors, pets have cozy spots to relax & are never left alone for long. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I stick closely to their usual routine of feeding, walks, playtime, & any other specific instructions they need. I make sure pets feel comfortable & cared for while you’re away. I love sending regular photo updates so you always know how they’re doing, too!

About: I have had animals since I was very young so lots of experience. Have owned 3 rescue dogs who are just like members of my family. Recently, I have been helping friends with their animals when they vacation and am looking to extend my client group to the local area. I am very active so walking dogs is very enjoyable for me. I am free most mornings and nights and have longer breaks during my work day that would allow flexibility for drop ins and walks all week. I am able to come to your home and provide for your pet's needs including walks, feeding, potty breaks etc. I've even been known to clean a litter box or two. Can provide references upon request.
