Doggy Day Care in Dexter

“Our dog was very well taken care of while she was with Joel and Crystal. We were in town for a track meet, and it was perfect to be able to drop her off and pick her up after! We would do this again with Joel and Crystal for sure!!”

About: I've been lucky to have dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, that is 50+ years of wagging tails. I know how important consistency is for keeping dogs calm, especially when they're staying somewhere new. My goal is to make their time with me feel as close to "home" as possible. Whether your dog (aka family member) wants snuggles, a cozy nap spot, playtime with my dog, or a little quiet space to themselves, I follow their lead and make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m currently in between jobs, which means I’m home full‑time and able to give your dog plenty of attention throughout the day/night. My home is relaxed, warm, and set up for dogs to feel comfortable from the moment they arrive. I keep things safe, clean, and low‑stress, and I follow each dog’s natural rhythm — whether that’s playtime, naps, snuggles, or simply hanging out nearby. I share my home with my young male mix‑breed dog (born 12/6/24), a poodle/wire‑haired terrier mix who’s neutered, well‑behaved, and absolutely loves meeting new dog friends. He’s gentle, social, and always happy to have a buddy around, but I also make sure every visiting dog has space and downtime whenever they want it.

“Tessa and her family are so wonderful with Ruger. He enjoys his time with them so much. He loves playing with Duke and any other dogs that are staying with them. He comes home a happy and tired boy. So grateful to have such a great place to leave him.”

“Absolutely love Elizabeth. She is kind and friendly and I can tell her love for animals is very strong. Highly recommend!”

Brooke F.

“Denise was amazing. Coffee gets anxiety being away from me and she was able to calm him down and he even jumped up in her lap for a nap by the middle of the day.”

Shanna O.

“Cassie is so great with our dog. She takes the time to send updates and photos, which we love. We can tell he was very well taken care of and he gets lots of activity and attention throughout the day when he stays with her for daycare. Her dog seems to have gotten along well with our dog & I’m glad he had a friend there to play with. Would highly recommend Cassie and will definitely be sending our dog back for daycare again.”

Ashley P.

“Michelly was kind, welcoming, and flexible. Lavinia had a wonderful time with her and the other pups, and we will definitely be signing up with Michelly any other time we need a daycare date!”

Annalee R.

“Super friendly, loving and responsible doggy daycare for our 1- year old Berner! Ruby loved playing with the other dogs. She comes home content and happy. She will definitely want to come back to visit Valerie and her daughter Sara.”

About: Hi there! As a fellow pet parent and Rover user, I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your furry family members. I’m the proud mom of a 6 year old rescued German Shepherd and a 9 year old cat who even made an overseas move with me, so I understand just how much our pets mean to us. I'm a teacher with a deep love for animals and nature. I spend much of my time outdoors, going on walks and hikes with my pup, and I’d be thrilled to have your pet(s) join in on the fun! Whether it’s outdoor adventures or cozy time at home, I’ll care for your pet(s) as if they were my own. This summer, I’ll have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to new clients. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pet(s). I am working 8 am - 4:00 pm and have weekends and holidays off, which allows me the flexibility to take care of your pets' needs. Whether your pet enjoys snuggling on the couch or prefers to get some exercise, you can rest assured that they will receive plenty of attention, cuddles, and playtime! I am more than happy to take your dog for walks, hikes, to the dog park, or anywhere else you feel comfortable taking them. I'm excited to learn more about your furry friend(s)!

“Beef had a wonderful time at Paul’s! Such a beautiful property and Paul was very easy to communicate with. I had no doubt that my boy was in great hands. Thanks, Paul”

About: I’ve been caring for horses, dogs, cats, chickens and yes even cows my whole life and as my kids have become adults I’d love to offer some of my new found free time to your pets as well on temporary basis when needed for vacations, long days away or check in’s or walks when you’re gone overnight or for trips out of town. As a 42 yr old empty nester who can only walk and hike and rollerblade with my dog so much I’d love to use some of my available time to help others with their pets! I personally know how much I appreciate knowing my pet is cared for when I’m not home and would love to offer the same comfort on occasion in your home and possibility for occasional boarding at mine as well. As a Licensed Real Estate agent I am very experienced with the care and trust it takes to let someone in your home and as a loving dog owner I know how precious these furry friends are and how important their health and safety is to their humans.

“Daycare was a wonderful experience with Jennifer and Josh! Berry’s first visit was fantastic. He got to play and socialize, and I felt no worries while he was there. The meet and greet the day before was perfect assurance that it would be a good and safe fit. Drop off and pick up was very smooth and I received a photo and an update on how he was doing during the stay. Jennifer was also kind enough to give me feedback and guidance on training. Really looking forward to having Berry stay with them again soon.”

“Michell appears very caring of our dog . Our whole experience was positive.”

About: My family has had dogs my whole life and I can’t imagine a world without them! Large or small… I love them all! I live an active lifestyle and enjoy surrounding myself with animals. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their animals and now I would love to care for yours! I'm a self-proclaimed pet sitting specialist! I am currently a student-athlete at the University of Oregon and am available to care for your pet while finishing up my first year in Eugene! I’m available for drop-ins, walks/runs/hikes and dog sitting. I am honest, responsible and have reliable transportation. While in my care, your fur baby will be treated like a loved family member and you will receive updates with pictures and texts. When I am home during the summer, I live on 1/2 acre and have a large fenced-in yard with two friendly large breed dogs to help keep your fur baby company and to play with. When i’m at school in Oregon I live in a nice apartment right off campus. I can take your pup for walks/runs/hikes or even a Starbucks run for a yummy PupCup!

“I appreciated Claire's thoughtful intake process, her speed at replying, and her feedback from my girl's visit. Claire clearly cares about dogs and facilitating doggie-people relationships. I recommend her and look forward to booking future stays with her.”

About: Hi there! My journey in professional animal care began early, shadowing my mother in her animal behavior and care business. I gained hands-on experience with a wide range of species—including dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, cattle, goats, and rabbits—which shaped my understanding of how to meet animals where they are: emotionally, behaviorally, and physically. While I am not a licensed dog trainer, I’ve spent much of my life developing a thoughtful, intuitive approach to animal care. My professional background includes extensive training in wildlife handling and care techniques. During college, I volunteered at the Cascades Raptor Center in Eugene, assisting with the daily care and rehabilitation of birds of prey. Over the years, I’ve also provided pet care for friends and family, building trust through reliability, compassion, and a deep respect for each animal’s unique needs. Now, I’m excited to offer my experience and dedication to the local community. I’m Fear Free Certified for dogs, and while I’m not certified for cats or other animals, I apply many of the same principles across species: 🧘‍♀️ Creating low-stress environments 🐾 Respecting boundaries and body language 🛏️ Offering comfort, routine, and enrichment 🐕‍🦺 Using gentle handling and positive reinforcement In 2024, I worked with shelter animals at Greenhill Humane Society, where I received extensive behavioral training and advanced to independently care for dogs and support enrichment for cats. That experience helped me develop a deep understanding of animal behavior, stress signals, and how to build trust with pets from all backgrounds. What I offer: 🐶🐱 Drop-in visits, walks, feeding, litter care & medication support 🧶 Enrichment activities tailored to your pet’s personality 📸 Daily updates with photos and notes 🐾 Experience with seniors, shy pets, and those with special needs Whether your pet is playful, reserved, or somewhere in between, I bring calm energy, reliable care, and a genuine love for animals to every visit. Thank you for considering me — as someone who has also used Rover for my own pets, I know it can be daunting to find the perfect fit for your furbabies. Pet care is a natural part of my daily rhythm. I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Whether it’s a midday walk, a drop-in visit, or extended overnight care, I’m able to adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs without the constraints of a traditional 9–5 job. Because I’m home-based, I can offer: 🐕 Timely potty breaks and walks 🐈 Calm, low-stress drop-ins for cats and small pets 🐾 Flexible scheduling for last-minute requests Whether your pet needs a quick check-in or more involved care, I’m able to integrate it seamlessly into my day, ensuring they get the attention and comfort they deserve. I currently do not offer in-home boarding, but I provide personalized care in your pet’s own home, where they feel most comfortable and secure. Whether it's a quick drop-in, a longer visit, or multiple check-ins throughout the day, I tailor each session to your pet’s routine and emotional needs. Because I work from home, my schedule is flexible—I can accommodate midday visits, early mornings, or evening care depending on your pet’s habits. I focus on creating a calm, low-stress experience by respecting their space, reading their body language, and offering enrichment that suits their personality. Your pet gets: 🐾 Familiar surroundings and routines 🧘‍♀️ Low-stress care with gentle handling 🐕 Walks, playtime, feeding & medication support 📸 Updates so you stay connected I treat every visit as a chance to build trust and make your pet’s day better. Whether they’re playful, shy, or need extra patience, I’m here to meet them where they are.
