Doggy Day Care in Elmer

About: I have hands-on experience caring for a variety of pets, including dogs,Chickens and many other small animals. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, administering medications, cleaning homes and crates, grooming, and providing companionship. I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and temperaments, and I always take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs and routines. Whether it’s an energetic dog who loves long walks or a shy dog who prefers quiet cuddles, I tailor my care to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine by making it a consistent part of my schedule. Each day, I set aside time in the morning and evening to feed my pet, refresh their water, and clean up any messes. I also make sure to give them attention through walks, playtime, or simply spending time together. Weekly, I include tasks like grooming, deep cleaning their living space, and restocking food or supplies. By keeping a regular routine, I ensure my pet stays healthy, happy, and well-cared for while balancing the rest of my responsibilities. Make them feel as comfortable as possible. Offer them treats,food,and attention. I make sure the animals have plenty of room to run around and play,but also comfortable spots to sleep and eat.

About: I do offer boarding at my farm. I only take up to 2 dogs at a time. We do a few walks everyday around the 8 acres. They get plenty of yard time. Every dog gets a specialized program with me and one Free training session. Does your animal need meds? No problem. If I can syringe a horse, I can handle a cat or dog (and have) I also LOVE cats. I have had a many cats in the last 28 years. House cats, barn cats, baby cats, old cats. I currently have 2 cats that were ring worm kittens from Paws. I finished up their treatment and adopted them. I can wrangle a barn cat that’s 1/2 feral to go to the vet or get it’s flea/tick meds. Don’t count me out if you have cats! They like me as much as I like them! I have taken care of pretty much any house pet from rats, to ferrets, parrots and snakes. I have had many tropical fish tanks too. Horses, cats and dogs are not my limits. As long as I’m not previously booked, I will be able to accommodate you. It never hurts to ask. I try to stay pretty close to home so I can fit in as many visits as possible but I do have great transportation. I keep safety in mind at all times. I am always aware when I’m walking a dog and will not let them mingle with other dogs or people. I always make sure water is fresh and plentiful. I am very cautious to avoid and loose animals. Your pets health and care are my career and my number one concerns.

“Gina had another fantastic day with Beth. She is so good with our old little girl. Day care or overnight, we can always count on Beth to take care of her.”

“Raelyn was able to watch our dog with short notice. She was professional and polite. I was nervous because my dog is very energetic and anxious but Raelyn handled him very well. She said she was able to get him to interact with other dogs and he seemed to to well overall. I'd definitely use Raelyn again and I recommend her.”

“This was my Milo's 1st time ever being out of our home & with a stranger. I felt like a bad dog-mom leaving him daily and he wasn't too happy about the notion either. Seeing Eileen's patience & affection toward animals & receiving daily pics & videos of my boy all calmed my quills & assured me he was adjusting well & was in great hands.”

“Kim and her family were great! I had a very last minute urgent need to go out of town for a day for work and Kim met me the night before with a few hours notice and was extremely accommodating. Macaroni is 4 months old and has puppy tendencies and can be handful but Kim gave me updates, sent pictures and macaroni came home happy and healthy. He loved his time there, this was my first time being away from him since I got him at 8 weeks old and wouldn’t hesitate to bring him back there again. Thank you!”

“Donna is such an amazing dog sitter. This is my first time leaving my dog with a dog sitter, so I was a bit nervous but Donna is very thorough and knowledgeable about dog needs. She knows what is normal and abnormal so I felt comfortable leaving him with her. She also has a strategy to minimize stress for the dog during hand off and plays calming music when he first went in the house. I will definitely use her again if I need. She also sends pics which makes me feel reassured.”

“Alex took great care of my puppy! He was there all day while I was at work, I got to enjoy pictures and videos she took of him throughout the day. He went on multiple walks which he loves! She was very accommodating to my schedule and quick to reply to any messages! I couldn’t recommend her more! My puppy can’t wait to go spend another day with Alex”

About: "As a dog sitter. I take pride in my ability to be attuned to dogs with specialized needs. Your dog will receive the highest level of care and attention, tailored to their unique circumstances. I've worked with pups and senior dogs with limited chewing abilities, dogs with separation anxiety who need consistent care and dogs with bowl and bladder issues who need more attentive care. My top priority is doing whats best for your furry friends needs! I have open availability 7 days a week at an affordable price that fits your budget. 1. Initial Assessment: I start by having a discussion with the dog owner to gather crucial information about the dog's habits, preferences, and any special requirements. This helps me understand the dog's routine. 2. Consistency: Whenever possible, I maintain the dog's established daily routine. This includes feeding times, exercise routines, bathroom breaks, and playtime, as familiarity provides comfort and stability. 3. Flexibility: I'm flexible and responsive to any changes in the dog's behavior or needs. If a dog seems anxious, energetic, or unwell, I adjust the routine accordingly. For instance, if a dog needs extra playtime or a shorter walk, I accommodate those needs. 4. Nutritional Needs: I follow the owner's instructions regarding the dog's diet meticulously. If a dog has specific dietary requirements or allergies, I ensure that their meals are prepared and served as per instructions. 5. Medication and Health Care: If the dog requires medication or has health concerns, I'm experienced in administering tablet medications and providing any necessary care. I keep a close eye on their health and notify the owner of any changes. 6. Safety and Comfort: Ensuring the dog's safety and comfort is a top priority. I create a secure environment, free of hazards, and provide cozy resting spaces where they can relax. 7. Communication: I maintain open communication with the dog owner, providing regular updates and photos to keep them informed about their pet's well-being. 9. Positive Reinforcement: I use positive reinforcement techniques to encourage good behavior and provide mental stimulation, making sure the dog is mentally and emotionally content. 10. Emergency Preparedness: In case of emergencies or unexpected situations, I have a plan in place to ensure the dog's safety and access to appropriate care. Overall, my approach is based on attentiveness, adaptability, and a deep love for dogs. By closely aligning with each dog's unique needs and routines, I aim to provide a comfortable and enjoyable experience during their time under my care!

About: I have had a family pet (cats, dogs, fish) my whole life and have pet sit for friends and family as well! I also am a foster for a local cat adoption non profit. I work from home, and have the ability to keep your furry family company throughout the day and ensure frequent breaks to go for walks and get outside as needed. We have a big fenced backyard that is perfect for playing and exploring! We also live on a dead end street with sidewalks, perfect for safe and quiet walks outdoors.
