Doggy Day Care in Elmwood

“It can be hard to find sitters willing to help with challenging dogs, and I have a very sweet pup who, unfortunately, has some separation anxiety that means she can’t be left home alone at this point. Julia agreed to watch her for some daycare while my husband and I attended a family birthday party, and she also was great about setting up a Meet and Greet about a week beforehand so that Sable could be introduced to Julia and her own pups. Julia sent pictures and updates while we were away, and I appreciated her honesty when I asked how Sable did. It seems as though Sable was only mildly embarrassing and didn’t put Julia through too much hassle, so I’m very grateful to have someone trustworthy and kind to leave my pup with! Thank you so much!”

“Stacey was very attentive and responsive. She’d txt me back within seconds. It was easy to set up Buddy’s stay with her. She sent updates and professional photos of him while he was staying with her. I would definitely recommend her and will use her again in the future.”

“Liz was a SUPER sitter for our girls! She had a few other dogs who she was also watching, which made me feel very comfortable - because that indicated others felt she was ALSO a great sitter! We will be re-booking her for tomorrow (Thanksgiving) - and will definitely keep her on our sitter list for when we travel to New Orleans.”

“Our experience with Missy has been fantastic. She took the time to get to know Benji thoroughly during our meet and greet. On the day of daycare, she sent me text and photo updates throughout the day and I knew Benji was in great hands. When I picked him up in the evening, I could tell that he had a fantastic time that day!”

“Elizabeth (Beth) is a rare gem—someone who genuinely loves and understands dogs, and it shows in every moment she spends with them. She cared for Louis as if he were her own beloved pet, and the bond between them was instant. I haven’t seen Louis this happy in months; the moment he saw Beth, his whole body lit up with joy. During his visit, Louis not only had Beth’s warm attention but also enjoyed time with a sweet furry friend. Beth is incredibly personable and has a natural gift with animals—a gift she generously shares. I usually feel stressed at work worrying about Louis, but this time I felt completely at ease. Beth kept me updated with regular check-ins, adorable photos, and fun videos of Louis living his best life! Beth’s level of care, communication, and kindness is unmatched. It’s no surprise she stays booked—people like her are rare. Louis and I can’t wait for his next stay with her!”

“Ellen is one of the best. She took loving daycare of Charley and was so good at keeping in touch with photos! My upcoming trip will be so much less stressful knowing Charley is with her when I'm away.”

“My husband Emile and I were very pleased and grateful for the care that Damaris and Jose’ provided our Emma! You can tell that they are animal lovers and treated her like their own! They have a lovely home and yard and sent pictures and videos of her stay. In the past, Emma has been cared for by family members. It’s nice to know that we have someone else turn to!”

About: I've been around and have taken care of animals all my life. For the past 10 years, I've been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family. I also have a 4-year-old 60-pound Golden Doodle who is a gentle giant and loves company. I work part-time remotely, which allows me to house and care for animals during the day and gives me the flexibility to take on last-minute client requests. I have a pretty spacious fenced yard, but I also have crates in the home if needed. Vet facilities are nearby in case of any emergency.

“Katherine and Ethan were extremely responsive, kind, and flexible when we left our Siberian Husky, Charlie, with them for doggie daycare. Their dogs, Gus and Brady, wore Charlie out, and Charlie is psyched to spend more time with all of them.”

“Madison was awesome! Clean and spacious house and a nice backyard. She sent videos and pictures and my pup and he looked like he was having a blast the whole time. Very easy communication and feedback from her. I 100% recommend her!! S”

“Lisa was very sweet. You can tell how much she loves dogs. Our Anni did great, so I’m told. Since this was our first time using Rover we were nervous about leaving her. But after our experience with Lisa we will use Rover again. We are traveling across country and not every place is dog friendly. Thanks Lisa.”

“What a wonderful, safe and fun place to stay for my animas. Even on short notice Emily was there to take them in to her loving home. Highly recommend.”

About: First of all, thank you for reading up on me. My name is Manuela, but people call me Manny for many years. Our place has Security cameras 24/7 I have been around dogs all my life, and now I work as a professional dog groomer. I have my own grooming salon. We ask that you book 2 weeks ahead with us. I think communication will be the key in our working relationship. Here are somethings that I would like to know about your dog: Any separation anxiety? Is your dog trained, or crate trained as well? What they like to do? If they have any bad habits, or typical habits of their age, for example, if they like to chew on things, or eat grass. Do they have fleas or ticks, been vaccinated, and/or if they have skin allergies or any medical issues I need to be aware of? Spayed or neutered. If they prefer being inside or outside. How many times they need to go out. Their feeding schedule and how many cups? Anything that will make me aware of their needs and protect them for we all want the best for all our dogs. My house has a large yard and is fully fenced in. I live here with my father who helps me and my yorkie. I'll send pictures and will call you about your dog as you be available or want to get it. I only accept maximum 2 dogs each time. I don't appreciate dogs inside the cage (only by request) so must of the time they are free on their own separate space. I have my own grooming salon in my house, and I will be able to offer grooming services as an extra.

“Michael was very kind and sent pics of my Rico while we went exploring! So nice to not worry about my pup while we were having fun. Definitely will use him again when we return!!:) Thank you Michael!!”

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and they’ve always been my favorite kind of company. I’m patient and keep things calm and low-key. I only watch one dog at a time, so you can rest assured that I will treat your dog as if they were my own. Since I work remotely, your dog won’t be left alone much and will get attention throughout the day. I make sure to follow whatever routine helps your dog feel most comfortable. Happy to send you photos and updates throughout the day as well. I’m flexible with pickup and drop off times. I will be with your pup all day, and they’ll get plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s routine. If they’re high energy, they’ll get long walks. If they’re a senior or low energy, I’ll take them on shorter walks or just let them sniff in the yard.

“Tayler was amazing. My dog Lacey always get separation anxiety and tends to cry when I leave and is a little lack lister but Tayler was one of the few that was able to get her to eat her dinner. Lacey usually will not eat unless I or my husband feeds her, but Lacey was happy to stay with Tayler. Thanks for taking such great care of our “baby”.”

About: I’ve been walking and caring for animals since I was a young child, so I bring a lot of hands-on experience and confidence in handling pets of all kinds. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong understanding of animal behavior and how to keep them safe, happy, and well-exercised. I’m currently working from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability to dedicate time and attention to pet care. I’ve developed strong time management and organizational skills that translate well into pet walking and training. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to be available during key times of the day for walks, check-ins, and consistent training sessions. Since I’m already accustomed to planning my day around routines, I’m able to reliably incorporate pet care into my schedule while maintaining a high level of attention and consistency. This flexibility also means I can accommodate client needs more easily and provide dependable, attentive care for their pets. I provide a safe and trustworthy environment by prioritizing consistency, attentiveness, and clear communication. Because I work from home, pets are never left unattended for long periods, and I’m able to closely monitor their behavior, comfort, and safety at all times. My experience working with animals since childhood has taught me how to recognize signs of stress or discomfort early and respond appropriately. I also maintain a clean, organized space and follow any specific instructions from pet owners regarding routines, feeding, and training. Building trust is very important to me, so I make sure to communicate regularly with updates and ensure each pet is cared for with patience, reliability, and genuine attention.
