Doggy Day Care in Defiance

“Alvin loves going to Beth’s every day! He is so in tune with morning routine of getting ready and out the door! He’s ready to go before I can get a cup of coffee. He loves being with the friends he’s made and all of the great exercise he gets! Thanks to her family for loving our Alvin!”

“My family and I were traveling with our dog and wanted to have an option for doggy day care. Kirsten was an excellent choice! We felt confident that our dog was having fun on her vacation day with Kirsten, while we enjoyed some tourist attractions that weren't pet- friendly! Thanks to Kirsten, I will definitely use Rover.com again!”

“Lindsay was amazing!! She did so many activities with my dog - they went to Petco, on a hike, got a Puppucino at Starbucks, and played doggie puzzles. She went above and beyond, I appreciate her giving so much of her time and attention to him! Will definitely be back!”

About: We’ve had dogs our whole lives and they are an important part of our family. We have experience with small-large sized dogs (specifically, a Pom, Yorkie, Lab, and several amazing medium sized rescues). Since we were young, we have been dog-sitting for neighbors and family. We have experience with puppies-seniors and we love them all! Dogs who stay with us receive companionship, cuddles, and play time-the same things we want for our own pets. We have a large, fenced in yard so there is a lot of room for your pup to run and play. We recently lost our two best friends, 16+ year rescues. While our hearts our healing, we want our kids to continue caring and growing up in a dog-friendly family. Obviously, we will want to make sure your pet(s) and our children are a good fit before boarding. As a teacher, I work full-time during the school year, but can do afternoon and weekend visits; in the summer, I can meet many additional times. We look forward to caring for your dog :) We keep our Rover calendar up to date and are happy to communicate with you frequently. During the week, we can let the pups out every 4-8 hours. During the weekends, we can let the pups out every 2-4 hours. We go beyond just feeding and letting the dogs go potty-we want them to be happy and gets lots of cuddles and play. We have a fenced in yard. Besides the care we will give, we have 2 children who have grown up with dogs and love to give cuddles, play fetch, and more. Feel free to bring your own pet beds/toys. Let us know if there are any special foods, medicines, or other care essentials that we should know about.

“Ashley is the best! I always know Bishop will be cooked after and cared for when I drop him off. We adore Adhleycc CC and value her and her time.”

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.

About: Hi! I’m a former zookeeper from the Saint Louis Zoo turned stay-at-home mom to three amazing kids — and a proud pet mom to two Cavalier King Charles Spaniels and a Ragdoll cat. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, both personally and professionally. With years of hands-on experience caring for animals of all kinds, I bring a calm, attentive, and knowledgeable approach to pet care. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or overnight sitting, your pets will be in loving, capable hands — just like family. As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home most of the day with the exception of carting my kiddos to sports practices — so your pets will get plenty of love, attention, and company throughout the day. We live on 2.5 acres with a portion of our yard fenced. Our pups use a GPS collar, but I’m happy to keep your pup on a leash with me when outside if needed. I want every pet to feel safe and comfortable.

“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".”

About: I treat every dog like my own! Whether we’re going for a walk, playing with toys, or just enjoying the day. I'm attentive to each dog’s personality and needs; I take the time to build trust with both pets and their owners. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away! I’m currently working weekend nights at my local golf course as a banquet server, but have my days & nights free for the most part besides that. Pets are available to roam around my home from the basement all the way to the second floor! I can block off stairs if need be, but they have all options available. My backyard is not fenced in, but it is large enough to take them outside and walk around by leash. I have one dog myself named Lady (4 y/o); she’s a bloodhound lab mix and is very friendly, submissive, & gets along great with other dogs! She roams around the house as she pleases too.

“Karen couldn't have been better. I am visiting from out of town and my dog wasn't doing as well with traveling as I'd hoped. I had to be gone for a long day and she watched him on very short notice. He was happy and calm when I picked him up. She said he did wonderfully! She truly went above and beyond. I can't recommend her more highly.”
