Doggy Day Care in Dresser

About: Since I was 6 years old my family had dogs and cats as pets. All the dogs we had we got as puppies so I handled the potty training, taught tricks and the main obedience training like sit and stay. I've watched family and friends dogs which also included days/nights at a time like when they were out of town working. I have watched and been with tiny dogs to giant dogs. I'm a stay at home mom at the moment so I have plenty of time to care for your pet pretty much at anytime day or night. I have a fenced yard so easy to let in and out as needed, big area take out or let out to play. My house is pretty open with area for them to roam or find good spot to just relax. I have never crated any of my animals but if needed or wanted obviously I could do that. If you have a special diet for your dog I would follow that for you also. My kids and I also love to go on walks and would love your dog to join. I do have three very young kids so your dog must get along with children. My kids love animals, they were very sad after losing our last dog so they'd be very excited to play with others. I currently have a cat, she'll most likely hide and if needed can be in a seperate area in the house.

“Orlando and Nicki were very responsive and accommodating. They were welcoming and hospitable. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience with them and they took very good care of our pet.”

About: I’ve had pets in my life since I was a child. When married and had kids, we’ve always had dogs and have cared for our dogs in every aspect, walking, bathing, grooming, vet care, etc. Currently we don’t have a pet, but our house is a perfect set up to take care of yours. Currently we are retired. We would have plenty of time to go for walks, play and relax. Our dogs in the past have used our very convenient doggy door into a fenced area for potty breaks. Your dog will be treated like one of our own, getting lots of love and attention during the day and can sleep overnight in a doggy bed or crate whichever is preferred.

About: I’m a country gal raised with a passion for animals! I have horses of my own as well as boarders, a dog, cat and chickens. I’ve had my own tiny farm for the last 5+ years, but I’ve been caring for animals since long before that. My husband, kids & I will provide your dog with lots of love and attention while you are away! I work from home (all but 2 days per month), so I am happy to provide care any day of the week. Your dog would have free access of our dog room with a doggy door to our potty patch. If your dog needs to be crated we can discuss the frequency of potty breaks and work to accommodate your dogs needs. I have 28 acres for your dog to run and play on. I have my own dog and many other furry friends to entertain your dog for endless hours of fun! I can easily crate your dog, if needed.

“Lauren, thanks for taking care of the dogs. We knew they were in great hands! Let us know if anything unexpected came up that you had questions about.”

“Amanda watched my dog on a few hours notice for our wedding, and it was such a relief that he was in good care! She was so flexible and easygoing and our dog definitely had a blast!”

About: Hello! Pauli and Dom here. We have a large property and lots of room for pups to run. We have a dedicated ~2 acres of fully fenced in yard space for our dogs and dogs that are visiting. We have decades of experience in dog training and care. We used to board every dog and lots of them. Now we have a family and our kids are involved in the care. We are selective and only take dogs that are a good fit for our family at this time. We have dogs and cats inside our home. We both work but generally we are working from home nearly every day and someone is always home. This allows us to be flexible regarding scheduling for the dogs and for pick up and drop off. Dogs will be crated overnight and when not under our direct supervision. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup! We live on a small farm and are basically always home. We both generally work from home and can be flexible to the dogs’ needs. We have a fenced in area outside and an extra room for our visiting dogs. Dogs may have the run of the house under supervision if well behaved, although most dogs tend to want to be outside playing.

“Great care & love given to my doggie! 😊”

“Tim is so good with Darcy. She loves going for walks and playing with his dog Gracie.”

“Krista is SIMPLY THE BEST (yes, hear Tina Turner belting this out in your head 😄)! Our dog, Finn, loves her so much and has a great time with her three sweet dogs every time he goes to her place. Krista is incredibly kind and attentive, and we always appreciate the adorable photos of Finn she sends!”

About: I provide a safe and comfortable environment pets, dogs deserve so much respect and love and I’m willing to give them so much attention! I also love the outdoors so I would love having a little walking partner. My dogs have been through training and therefore I am aware of the do’s and donts of proper training. I have ONE lab at home, she is a female 1 y/o lab. I currently work from home Wednesday - Friday. I work in the office Monday and Tuesday. This is subject to change week to week as my schedule varies. I use my back yard which has a leash hooked to the deck. Half of my yard is fenced in. I am open to using a shocker as well, we use one on our pup and strictly use the tone button which just sounds like a beep.

About: Hi everyone, Sherry here.. wife, mom, grandma, dog and cat mom. I have room in my heart and home to care for your precious furry one! Home is my happy place; with husband Greg, dog Daisy, and cats Merv and Stella. I work from home and have the ability to let dogs out regularly. We have a 4.5 acres property, a 40'x40'x6' fenced area, and a large climate controlled pole barn to play in when it's too hot/cold, outside. We live in a quiet neighborhood for leashed walks. Working from home allows me to let the dogs out as needed. We have quiet times where pups can rest and I can get a few things done, then back outside to play. We love leisurely walks, playing tug, cooling off in the sprinkler, and playing fetch. When its too hot we have frozen engagement toys, and a cool pole barn for some play time. In winter months the pole barn is heated for more play time. ***If you will be away for several days and have cats, too, I'm not able to board kitties, but I am willing to visit them, feed, water, and clean their litter boxes, for an extra fee. I need to figure out how to list this in the app.

About: I have always had pets as a part of my life, dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, and I raised rabbits for 4H for a number of years. I also pet sit for family and friends when they need help. I have a local park with trials for walking as well as a nice sidewalk for walking. There is also a local dog park about 5mins from my house I can bring your dog to. I work super part time and my husband works from home. So someone is always home to keep an eye on your pet and love them. I have 2 kids that I may run to and from school or local things from time to time. I have an underground fenced yard that I can use one of my dogs collars on your dog. I have 2 dogs to keep your dogs company. I also have an indoor cat.

“She responded immediately to our last-minute request to take our dog for the day. She let us know what to expect and how she would feed Aggie. She was willing to keep her even longer than I requested, since we weren't sure when we would be back. She even offered to walk her out to the car under an umbrella during the storm! Aggie came back to us happy and tired out. I'm so glad we booked with Elizabeth W!”

About: I currently have 3 dogs of my own. They all get along very well and are a nice little "pack" and are well socialized. They enjoy having doggy friends over for playdates. My family raised 6 puppies for Guide Dogs for the Blind. I puppy sat for several dogs over the 8 year period when we raised GD puppies. I have had 2 therapy dogs. I have been pet sitting for friends and neighbors for over 20 years. I retired from my careers as a pediatric Occupational Therapist, and have a flexible schedule. My husband and I are empty nesters and are both animal lovers. Having fur babies come visit helps control my desire to adopt more dogs. Thank you! I am retired and have a very flexible schedule. This allows me to do my utmost to help meet your animals boarding needs when necessary. I have a fenced backyard where dogs can run around and play or just lay in the sunshine. Separate outdoor play time available if necessary.

About: I just recently had to put my 14.5 year old Yorkie Poo to rest. I miss having a buddy at my house but not ready to take on another animal full time yet. I supported my dog through pancreatitis, congestive heart failure and other health considerations. We had him since he was a couple months old until his golden years. I have watched other family members, friends and neighbor’s dogs and always treat them like my own! I currently work from home as a Master’s level Social Worker and have very flexible hours. My children are at school during the day and in summer care during the summer months. The pet would be with me with most of the time, outside of errands. *Please reach out in a message regarding availability! My availability changes and I would like to give you the most up to date information! Thank you!* I currently do not have any animals in the house. I can take the dog on walks and out to use the restroom throughout the day as I do not have a fenced in yard. I have a large yard if your dog can be trusted off leash with supervision. I love to have dogs snuggle, so they are just like any other family member, allowed on the furniture. I will be home to either schedule feed, have the graze eat or kennel as requested.

“Holly’s first time in someone else’s care went well. Thanks to Danielle in noticing Holly’s specific needs. Holly loves her little gifts she got especially the squeak toy. The texts and photo were great to know she was doing okay while we were away.”

About: I have done everything from doing daily chores on hobby farms to dropping in and walking dogs while gone for the day. I board my horse so I understand the quality of animal care you desire but also the level of communication you like to receive. I am more than willing to take pictures of your animals and send updates throughout. I used to do house visits but now have a house and prefer to do boarding. I’ve had multiple friends and family have their dogs stay with me. I have large dog runs and a fenced in back yard. A few personal notes are I do not do reptiles. I like to plan ahead. There will be someone working remotely each day during your dog(s) stay to let them out and hang out with them each day. Please provide two days or more notice prior to a stay. Dogs will get quite a bit of outside time in a fenced in area where they can run, play, and get some sun in. There’s quite a bit of space for running.

About: I've had dogs and cats all my life. I am the type to keep my dogs active whether it be playing fetch in the yard or throwing the stick in the lake for them to fetch. I believe in lots of play toys and chewys so they never get bored. I also understand the dog who might be more calm, maybe a little shy and likes time alone, and that is very understandable. I am a retired nurse and know pretty well the signs and symptoms of pain or discomfort. I understand the importance of proper nutrition and availability of fresh water. I lost my 14 yr. old lab to old age 2 years ago, and just recently got a new yellow lab puppy here in March. I really missed having a travel companion! I'm a unique pet/house sitter in that I travel in my beautiful Canadian Roadtrek Campervan and can house "watch" while taking care of your pets. I do not need to stay in your home. Any additional duties other than "watch" your house can be negotiated- like water a few houseplants, etc. I do ask that you provide a household electric (120V) outside plug in. My small RV uses approx. $2-$3 per day of electricity. I love animals. I have a yellow Labrador myself! I travel often in my RV and we make great travel partners often stopping at dog parks 2-3 times a day on our adventures. Beau would love to have playmates! I can only provide mobile pet/house sitting. I am unable to pet sit in the home I live in. I am a recently retired nurse. I am trained not only in human CPR, but I also have dog and cat CPR training. I have given pets medication, induced vomiting -per instructions while on the phone with a vet tech (after dog ate 1 1/2 lbs of bing cherries - pits and all. Happy ending! :). When I go into a home I find myself scanning countertops and floors for potential hazards for pets - things like medications, foods, hot boiling water on stovetop with handles pointing out, etc... I am constantly monitoring for potential dangers. Sometimes things happen though, unfortunately, that can't be avoided and that's when first aid, CPR, poison control line, and Vet info should all be available and handy. I ask that all instructions be written down and text/emailed to me 24 hours prior. That way if I have any questions, they can be answered before you leave on your relaxing worry-free vacation!

I also have worked at an emergency veterinary clinic before so I know how to handle any pet related emergency.

Please reach out to me with questions regarding my availability! I have been a rover pet sitter for years now and all my reviews are 5/5 stars. I also have many years of veterinary experience and am very comfortable giving injectable or oral medications to your fur babies. I love all animals and am not intimidated by looking after more exotic pets as well! I love all walks of life when it comes to pets you may have! Thank you so much for considering me for looking after your fur babies!
