Doggy Day Care in De Soto

About: I have had pets my whole live. Growing up I had 4 dogs and a cat. When i met my husband, he had a dog named Cali, and I had a dog named Baylor. Now, we share both and have also welcomed a very shy cat into our family. I have experience caring for puppies all the way up to senior dogs. Baylor, for instance, was just 3 weeks old when I found her in a box, and now she's a healthy senior pup. I would love to provide your pups with the same care and love that i show our own, making them a part of our family while they're with us. I am a stay-at-home mom with two kids. We spend a lot of time at home and outdoors playing. Your pets would receive plenty of attention and constant love, just like my three friendly pets. I prioritize creating a nurturing environment for pets in our home. With my experience from raising dogs and cats, i understand the importance of routine, love, and attention. Whether it's regular walks, playtime in my spacious yard, or cozy spots for relaxation indoors, I ensure their well-being and happiness are top priorities. My pets, including Baylor, whom i rescued as a young pup, have thrived under my care, and I would extend the same level of commitment and affection to any pet entrusted into my care.

“Carissa was awesome. Great updates throughout day and dogs well taken care of.”

About: My approach to pet care is centered on creating a calm, personalized, at-home experience for every dog in my care. Unlike traditional boarding environments, I offer a peaceful, kennel-free setting where pets are treated like cherished guests rather than just another booking. Because I intentionally keep my care small and individualized, each dog receives one-on-one attention, consistent companionship, and a predictable routine. My home is child- and pet-free, which helps create a relaxed environment that many dogs—especially those who are sensitive, anxious, or older—really thrive in. Dogs in my care enjoy private yard time, scenic neighborhood walks, and thoughtful, supervised play, with full-time at-home supervision so they’re never left alone for long periods. I’m especially attentive to each dog’s personality, comfort level, and routine, whether that means slower walks for senior dogs, extra reassurance for more sensitive pups, or engaging play and enrichment for active companions. My goal is always the same: to make your dog feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m home throughout the day and able to provide consistent supervision and companionship. This allows me to maintain a calm, structured environment where dogs are never left alone for long periods. Each day typically includes outdoor time in the fenced yard, neighborhood walks, rest and relaxation indoors, and individualized attention depending on each dog’s energy level and needs. Because I limit the number of pets I care for, I’m able to maintain a predictable routine and provide thoughtful, one-on-one care. Safety, comfort, and trust are always my top priorities. My home is a peaceful, child-free and pet-free environment, which helps create a calm setting for visiting dogs and prevents overcrowding or overstimulation. Dogs have access to a private fenced yard for safe outdoor time, as well as scenic neighborhood walks for exercise and enrichment. I maintain close supervision throughout the day and carefully introduce any new experiences at a pace that feels comfortable for the dog. Because my care is kennel-free, pets are able to relax naturally in the home environment—whether that’s lounging in cozy spaces, enjoying quiet companionship, or playing outside. I also take time to understand each dog’s routine, feeding schedule, and preferences so their stay feels familiar and stress-free.

“Anna and her team did such an amazing job taking care of our furbaby! They were super easy to communicate with and we’re always willing to provide updates with pictures included about our pups. They provided the best of care for our pup and had an array of places for him (fenced in) for him to run like crazy! They even have a designated dog area in their home! I was so happy that my dog (who normally is never relaxed when he’s away) was actually able to lay down and sleep! Truly amazing work and I’m so excited for our next booking!”

About: Located just 10 minutes west of the Legends of Kansas City, your fur-baby will get the TLC that you’d provide in your own home. Plenty of attention and room to run! I currently work some evenings and weekends in order to homeschool during the day so we are home often. I will be clear about availability during bookings. My family is fur-baby friendly with 4 goats, a flock of chickens, two sweet puppies, and a cat currently. During bookings my two dogs (one is an outdoor farm dog) and cat will be kept separate to ensure the safety and comfort of all. Any medical, training, attention, and care needs will be accommodated as requested by the owner.

“I was a little skeptical about boarding, only because I’ve never done it before. Colter and his pup made my dog, Pilot, feel comfortable. Pilot was able to play with another dog, which he seemed to really enjoy. He was exhausted after his stay, as he’s a little older than the other dog. He was definitely well cared for during his stay. I would book with Colter again.”

“Savannah took excellent care of our dog while we were out of town! Skip stayed with her for a week and was in heaven getting to play with her dog, getting walks, and lots of attention while we were away! She sent me pictures and report cards daily and we were able to enjoy our vacation much more knowing that he was enjoying his time away as well!”

“I contacted Richard at 2am due to an emergency situation that I needed someone to babysit my puppy on the next day. He replied back at 7am and offered to help out. Richard kept me updated on Macy every hour by sending me pictures. Macy sure had a great time at his place. I would definitely recommend him.”

“Beth was amazing! We met beforehand to make sure our pups got along and she was so kind and accommodating! She sent pictures to keep me updated and filled out the Rover cards everyday to let me know how it went! Will definitely be using her again!”

About: I've always had a dog growing up, but I got my first dogs that were just mine as puppies about 13 years ago. A St. Bernard and a Golden. I eventually acquired an ex's highly anxious German Shepherd, who was the same age. I've lost them all to old age in the past year or so, so I absolutely love caring for others' dogs! I work from home and have a fenced in yard, as well as experience with crate training and females in heat. I feel like this service benefits me just as much, it more than, you and your pets! All I ask for is transparency about any possible issues (aggression, etc.) so I can work with them. I work exclusively from home, so I can attend to all of your pets' needs. This is my first year NOT having dogs in the house, and I frequently keep my "nephew" (my brother's dog) I have a fenced in yard, no longer have any pets, unfortunately. My home is large but still dog-proofed, so I can restrict pets to a certain floor or area as needed.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats for 30 years. During that time I have been a trusted resource for family and friends. I absolutely love all the personalities and energy from all dogs and cats. I’m currently a stay at home dad and the owner of a guitar building business out of my garage. My days are filled with playing with my furry friends and creating. I’m available at all times to care for and play with your little (and not so little) ones. I have a fenced in yard with tons of space. We also have a doggie playroom with lots of comfortable lounging and toys. Your pets will be seen to for every need and be part of the family while they are here
