Doggy Day Care Downtown

“Izzy and Brian are fantastic sitters. Very accommodating with drop off and pick up times, which is great for day trips (esp if we hit bad traffic or end up leaving later than originally planned). They send photos and videos regularly! Dzov LOVES his friend Jax and Ziggy and is always pooped out from playing so hard with those two all day. They're always my first go-to for day care/overnight stays because they're reliable, friendly, and can handle my big doggo!”

“Emily is such a great sitter she is accomidating and understadning. Winston loves going there and once he realizes where he is doing he tries pulling me to her building. Safe to say he likes his day care time with Emily”

“Marta took great care of Uni, who was understandably anxious as this was his first doggy day care experience! She’s very accommodating of my schedule change and responded promptly to my messages. Thanks Marta :)”

“Matthew was great watching my pup Willa for a last minute doggy day care! He was kind and welcoming during the meet and greet and during her stay, and sent pictures throughout the day to keep me updated. Willa snuggled right up to them for some naps, which is always a sign she feels comfortable, safe, and happy. Will definitely be reaching out again in the future!”

About: I've been a dog person my whole life. Our family has shared our home with everything from standard poodles to an American Eskimo, so I've handled big personalities, high-maintenance coats, smart dogs who need a job, and gentle seniors who need patience and a soft place to land. We recently lost our beloved standard poodle, and while we're not ready for another dog of our own yet, we have a lot of love with nowhere to go. We'd be thrilled to pour it into yours. Your dog will be our only pet, which means undivided attention: no competing for the couch, the yard, or the treats. Speaking of the yard, it's fully enclosed, so there's plenty of room to sniff, play, and stretch out safely, and we're an easy walk from a nearby park for longer outings. Our home also includes a dog-adoring 7-year-old who has grown up around dogs and knows how to be calm and respectful with them, and all interactions are supervised. By day I run a national nonprofit (from our home), so I'm organized, responsive, and used to being trusted with things that matter to other people. You'll get prompt replies, photo updates, and a sitter who actually follows your instructions, whether that's a medication schedule, a specific feeding routine, or a nightly belly rub quota. I work from home, so your dog won't be left alone for long stretches. My day has a natural rhythm that suits most dogs: a morning walk or yard time before I start work, a midday break for a potty trip and some play, and a longer walk to the park in the late afternoon once the workday winds down. In between, your dog is welcome to nap at my feet, keep an eye on the squirrels from the window, or supervise my Zoom calls. Evenings and weekends are family time, which means more play, more attention, and more couch cuddles. I'm happy to follow your dog's existing schedule for meals, medications, and bedtime, since I know routine is what helps most dogs settle into a new place quickly. Your dog's safety and comfort come first in our home. We have a fully enclosed yard for supervised play and potty breaks, and we're a short walk from several parks for longer outings, always on leash unless you've told me otherwise. I do a quick check of gates and latches before every outing, and dogs are never left unattended outside. Inside, your dog has the run of our home and is welcome on the furniture unless you'd prefer they stay off. We've never crated our own dogs, but if a crate is what makes your pup feel safe and settled, I'm happy to use one. Just bring it along with their bed, food, and anything else that smells like home.

“Sung was amazing! She took care of our dog on a very, very last minute request. Communication was amazing. Sung sent updates and pictures throughout the day. Our dog came back very happy!”

About: I adopted a dog during the pandemic and share a cat with my husband. I grew up on a farm and would watch and care for the neighbors' animals while they were on vacation. I've been working on Rover for two years. I'm looking forward to meeting your pets and giving you some peace of mind while you're at work or on vacation. I work remotely, so I am available for housesitting, walks, and drop-ins as needed. Happy to make my schedule fit with yours! I work remotely and am available to house sit and do walks/drop ins if you live in Shaw. I am excited to talk and learn more about your animals! Please see the pet care experience section. The too long didn't read version: safety first. I love animals and treat them like my own family.

“Jamesha is reliable and quick to respond. I send Romeo to her 2-3 times a week and he comes back happy and tired.”

“Once again, Christian knocked it out of the park! Jo Jo and Corduroy were thrilled to learn they were going back to their friend’s house today and they can’t wait to go back. Thank you for your excellent care today, Christian!”

Jesse B.

“Thank you for watching Maple last minute! Good communication, pick up and drop off were easy, and Maple was tired out after.”

Rose P.

“I am genuinely so thankful I booked with Gil. I got so many updates throughout the day which was so appreciated and I always felt my Clyde was in good hands. My baby boy has such a wonderful time and was upset when I picked him up because he didn’t wanna leave his friends! I will absolutely be booking again.”

Valerie S.

“Amanda was great with Rolo! She was super communicative and kept us updated with lots of photos throughout the day. Rolo came home happy and relaxed, and we really appreciated that Amanda knows dachshunds well—that was definitely a plus for us! We’d happily book with her again.”

About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life and genuinely love caring for them. I grew up with a pug (Pumba), and dogs have continued to be a big part of my family. My dad has an adopted dog (Samba), and my sister also adopted her dog (Moka). I lived with my sister and Moka for three years, so I was very involved in her day-to-day care, including walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention. Whenever my sister traveled, I was the one she trusted to take care of Moka. I’m comfortable following a dog’s normal routine and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule and can give your dog plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for walks, playtime, feeding, and regular potty breaks, and I can easily adjust to your pet’s usual routine. I live in an apartment in a walkable area with several parks nearby, which makes it easy to provide regular walks, outdoor time, and exercise. I’m very attentive to each dog’s routine, personality, and needs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while they’re with me.

“Thank you Frida for stepping in at the last minute and helping me w my 3 year old toy poodle Apollo. He was totally comfortable w you and returned a happy boy. I so appreciate your help, including working w me when my timing shifted a bit.”

“Aroa was fantastic! She gave plenty of updates with photos throughout the day and kept my anxious boy very happy with lots of walks and scritches! Would definitely recommend!”

Ashley H.

“Katia was great! Very responsive and flexible in terms of arranging everything, and seemed very attentive to our pet’s needs, giving her multiple walks a day. She also sent a lot of pictures and updates which was much appreciated!”

Brynne & Robert K.

“Vernon took lovely care of our boy! He was communicative, timely and flexible. He took our request at the last minute and adjusted to our schedule. He is efficient and I could tell that our boy had a good time. This was our first time using Rover and he gave us the peace of mind. We will definitely be using him again!”

“Asma is great! We had a nice meet and greet and Lulu has an awesome day with her. Asma was communicative and sent really cute photos throughout the day. Lulu the dog approved!!”

Julia M.

“Linde was fantastic. Our normally anxious pup was calm and happy when we picked him up. He seemed to have had a great time hanging out with his new friend. We appreciated the photos Linde took too!”

Ryan W.

“Holly was absolutely amazing with Stella! Stella can be incredibly nervous in new environments, but Holly showed so much patience and gentle care to help her settle in. She truly went above and beyond to make Stella feel safe, comfortable, and loved. It is incredible to find someone who understands anxious dogs so well. We would definitely be booking with Holly again when we are in town—highly recommend!”
