Doggy Day Care in Dorchester

“Maizy came home a happy dog. She was happy to see me at he end of the day but seemed happy to hang out a while longer too. She met new friends, played hard, and came home with tired paws. I think Stacy, Pearl, and Fred are beloved friends now.”

“Absolutely fantastic! My puppy Snickers had the greatest time, and I got loads of pictures of her playing in the yard, enjoying toys, and having a blast with their dog Umbra. She came home tuckered out and had a great sleep. We'll definitely book again!”

“Andrea and Ed and their 3 fur babies welcomed Moose into their home and took such good care of him! Thank you so much, hope Moose can visit again soon!”

“Kathy & Dave made our golden retriever feel so comfortable on his first trip to their day care. They slowly introduced him to their yard, then to other dogs, and then to their home. They even sent a photo during our dog’s stay so we’d know everything was fine! They are clearly very experienced and very nice people. 😊”

About: I have experience with deaf, senior and reactive dogs as well as cats. I fostered and trained for Blue River Pet Rescue and have taken dog safety courses with Nebraska Humane Society. I know what it's like to have a scared or sick dog and I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for them when you can't. I am no stranger to a special needs dog and I want to be that person for you and your pet when you need me. My own dog, who passed in April 2025, had CHF and I could barely stand to let him out of my sight. I was lucky that the people who fostered him offered to watch him when needed. Without them, I'm not sure how I would've found someone I could really trust to be patient and kind to him. Now that he's gone, I want to be able to be that person for others. I work completely remote, so I am always home, giving me a great opportunity to care for special needs animals or just animals in general. I work Mon-Fri, 12-8 and weekends are usually free. I live close to a dog park that I took my previous foster to every day and have a nice neighborhood for walks. I have a yard (not fully fenced in) with a tie out leash, though I go outside often and would never leave your pet alone. I got the tie out recently for my foster to help her with separation anxiety but would walk around the yard and area with my own dog for a few minutes every hour or so. I have lots of toys and keep a pet water fountain running at all times. I keep a couple of dog beds throughout the house, so there is always somewhere soft and comfortable to lay down, whether they want to stay close by or would prefer some space. My house is their house while they're here. Besides the trash cans, they are welcome to explore.

“Smudge is shy when meeting people at first. I wasnt sure if he would leave the house for a walk with Nathan but No problem! Thanks for the pics Nathan. See you soon. Vicki”

“Absolutely a life saver! Very nice and helpful. Made sure our dog's health was taken care of.”

“I wish I could leave 10 stars! Jasmine was so helpful in helping me give a new puppy a strong foundation in potty training while I was at work. She socialized him with her own pets, and I could count on her punctuality every day. I needed early morning drop-off, and she never let me down! Plus, my dog LOVES her, judging by his wiggle launches into her arms. She’s the best!”

“My baby pup had a great stay!! I was kept informed with great pictures and updates!! Would definitely book again!!!!”

“Very friendly.”

About: I've had pets my entire life, and developed an in interest in taking care of pets for friends and neighbors. Because its something that I enjoyed and was good at. My favorite breed is "adopted". I am currently working from home and enjoy taking care of animals. I am available throughout the week and on weekends at any time of the day. Don't have pets at the moment but am great with animals. I have an unfenced yard where your pets can run around and can take them for walks as needed.

About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals from fish to horses. I’m a responsible and caring individual who loves animals and understands the importance of providing them with attention, care, and consistency. With a strong sense of reliability and patience, I ensure that pets are not only well-fed and exercised but also emotionally supported during their time away from their owners. I’m attentive to their needs, whether it’s following specific routines or providing companionship, and I make it a priority to keep them comfortable and happy. You can trust that I’ll treat your pet with the same love and care as my own. I’m available for pet care throughout the week as well as weekends. I can be flexible, let me know what you and your pet(s) are looking for! I understand that different pets have different needs, I’m flexible and accommodating to any needs or routines. Maintain cleanliness weather I’m caring for your pet(s) at your home or mine. I make it a priority to create a bond and spend quality time with each pet. My home is pet proofed with a fenced in yard.

About: Born around lots of animals, including the GSD my mom bred many going to K9 programs and I would show them when I was little. Growing up, I was part of raising & training hunting dogs (Labs) & a seizure dog (Sheltie). As an adult I've had a GSD, Pomeranians and pitbulls (potty trained, crate trained, leash trained, basic commands like sit stay come - clicker method). I also learned some about senior care helping my friend who worked at Hearts United shelter for several years. I currently don't have any dogs, but have cats. I have minimal appointments (2 hour long weekly standing & sporadic others) and errands (school drop off and pickup) so I can be available to care for your pet nearly 24/7 Caring for your dog at your home, I would follow whatever routine, usual/best practices you have for them there. At my apartment, there is a large open grassy area right behind my building and a great walking/bike path, but it is NOT fenced so I would be taking out any dog myself on a leash. If I needed to leave my apartment for an appointment/errand and could not bring your dog along, I would want to crate to ensure there's no accidents while unsupervised in a strange environment.

“Becca was wonderful, I got lots of pictures and my dog had a great day with her 😊”

About: I've had dogs my entire life. Have owned three myself as an adult. Nothing brings me more joy than having, training, and loving dogs. I have been a volunteer dog walker for over two years at the Capital Humane Society in Lincoln. I have also done enrichment for dogs who need extra love and care. I am fully engaged and eager to care for your dogs. I will do my best to make them feel at home while they are away from home. I have two friendly dogs, a fully enclosed privacy fenced backyard including a dog house for shade, a fire hydrant, and pet beds. I have a tiny dog myself, so have ensured there are no escape routes for little ones. I also have a doggie door and security camera in the backyard to have an eye on all unconditional love pups that are in my care.

“Hunter was sad to leave. He had a blast!”
