Doggy Day Care in Defiance

“I’m so grateful to have found Kristin!! I’ve been bringing my boy to her for a few days a week for daycare for the pst two weeks and he has so much fun with her and his other friends! He comes home happy and tired, so I know he’s being well taken care of. I highly highly recommend her to anyone that needs any sort of service for their babies!!”

About: I’ve grown up with both dogs and a cat, so I understand how much love, care, and patience our furry friends need. Whether it’s puppy energy or senior snuggles, I’ve got the experience to provide a safe and happy environment. I have hands-on experience with potty training, basic commands, and making pets feel comfortable in new settings. I also have a playful, well-socialized dog at home who gets along great with other pups; so your dog will have a built-in buddy if they are staying the day with me! I work from home, so your pet will never be left alone for long stretches. They’ll get plenty of attention and potty breaks throughout the day. Safety is important to me. We do have a fully fenced backyard so that your pet can enjoy outdoor time and they can run around safely!

About: Cozy, Loving Home for Your Pup: Personalized Attention & Care in Ellisville! I live in a home in Ellisville with my husband and 8 year old daughter (who loves reading about and studying all things dog-related). I was born into a home with dogs and have been a dog owner my entire life. A few months ago, my family said goodbye to our beloved 13 year old rescue dog, Misty Blue. While we are not yet ready to adopt another dog full-time, we would love the opportunity to have another dog in our home to care for when you need to be away. I work from home and am generally a homebody. My husband is also home most of the time and will occasionally assist with the drop off/pick up process. We do not currently have any animals in the home. We only board/sit for one family at a time, so your furry family member(s) will have as much undivided attention as they could possibly want. Bowls and orthopedic bedding are provided and are cleaned between every family, as is the yard. Our large backyard is fenced. For very, very small dogs who could fit between the iron fence posts, we will always take out on a leash. While I DO require your dog(s) to be potty trained/house-trained, I do NOT require your dog to be crate-trained. I do have a large crate if your dog does prefer the privacy/security of a crate. You provide: Food Any Specific treats (I usually have some on hand if your dog is not on a diet restriction. We will carefully follow all diet instructions) Any specific comfort items/toys from home Any medications Please also note: Since I only board for one family at a time, and given that many of these are long stays, the quantity of reviews on my profile will not be similar to that of other sitters who provide daycare services or boarding services for many families at a time or those sitters who only provide care for shorter stay durations. My services provide individualized care and attention for your dog(s) and your dog(s) only. Thank you so much for considering me to care for your sweet pup(s)!

“I feel that Penny is safe and well cared for when she's with you two. Thanks!”

About: I am a Veterinary Technician and a Professional Dog Trainer with over 10 years of experience. With a degree in Animal Science and extensive hands-on experience, I understand that safety is the top priority for every pet owner. When your pet stays with us, they will not only be safe but will also have a fun and enriching experience. In addition to boarding, we offer professional Training and Grooming services tailored to each dog's needs. My husband works nights and is home during the day to provide expert care and supervision for your pets. As dedicated owners of show dogs, we take pet care seriously and strive to maintain the highest standards in every aspect of our services. Our property features two fully fenced yards for play and exercise. The first is a secure 6-foot chain link and privacy-fenced potty yard, measuring approximately 20 ft x 60 ft. The second is a spacious, fully fenced double lot with rolling hills and lush grass, providing the perfect environment for your pet to run, play, and explore. *Dogs in our care must be crate trained during down time & at night. When we are not at Dog Shows or Training we are at home with our dogs. My husband works nights which means your pets will be left alone minimally. We have 2 fully fenced in yards. A smaller yard with 6ft privacy fence and a large play yard with 4ft roller panels. We do offer medical boarding on a case by case basis at an additional rate.

“Ashley is simply the vest. I always know my pup will be looked after and cared for when Ashley sits for him. She is diligent, professional, and extremely personable. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻”

I currently work from home more than 3 days a week and can change accordingly. I’m flexible with pick-up and drop-off times. Your babies will have 24/7 care and love with us. I have a fenced yard, a large dog crate, couple dog beds. I have one golden retriever and a Labrador retriever. They are very friendly and playful. We have giant water fountain and toys for dogs.

About: We have our own little piece of heaven in the quietest location in Wildwood. Your pet will be able to relax free of typical city noises. Our yard has a fenced area, and I am available for multiple walks each day. I also have experience with animals that require daily medication. I work from home and am available for multiple walks per day. I can work around your pet's usual schedule and accommodate any of their general medical needs. I have a fenced yard and two friendly 10lb bichon-poos. I also have two children who love animals. Animals are a part of our daily life.

About: I am a lover of all pets. Young and old, big and small. I can do walks, hikes. Even a play at the park. Your pooch will be pampered here. Experienced sitter. I am at home all the time. My husband works from home. All pets are loved all the day here. Me and my husband are grown up with dogs and we have our own sweet little fur daughter and want to get and share love to more fur babies. I have a fenced yard and a friendly trained dog to keep your baby company. My kids love fur. We walk, jog and can adapt as per your baby needs.

“Molly is a great sitter and I 100% recommend her. Her house is very pet friendly and her children are respectful and kind toward the pet guests. Their family's dog is super sweet and got along just fine. The yard is perfect for the dogs to run around and play and sniff. If I could afford it I'd bring Chloe here more often just to get some "dog time".”

Laura W.

About: I have been caring for dogs since I was a teenager. I’m the go-to for friends, neighbors and family who need a safe, fenced-in, loving and fun place to leave their dogs while on vacation or just for the day. We have two doodles who love to make new friends! (I took a 2-year hiatus when our senior dog passed away and we welcomed a new doodle into the family. She is well-adjusted and ready for friends, so I am excited to be available once again to care for your sweet pups!) From the moment you leave your dog/s with me, they become top priority. I am an artist that works from home so they will have company all day and will be able to go outside at any time. I will also take them on walks if requested. I have a large fenced-in backyard and two doodles that love to play outside and go for walks. Your dog/s will be welcome to go outside as much as they’d like, rest on the furniture and sleep on the bed if that’s what they’re used to! Of course if your dog is being crate-trained or prefers to sleep in one, I’m happy to accommodate. In the event that I need to run an errand while I am sitting your dog, I will put them in a crate for their own comfort and safety. I have multiple sizes of crates, but feel free to bring one if you prefer I use your’s. And please include any blankets/stuffies/toys that remind them of home if you so desire!
