Doggy Day Care in Empire

About: As a child, growing up I was always bringing home stray animals to care for. I've been rescuing & caring for animals for over 20 years now. I have rescued & cared for a variety of different animals. I have expertise in caring for senior animals, those with illnesses, have imapirments,are handicapped, have disabilities or those that may have special needs. I'm everyone's go to for pet questions/concerns, pet sitting & pet rescue. I am an animal advocate & longtime member of PETA, ASPCA, Alley Cats Allies, National Wildlife Federation & Humane Society of the United States. I support local recues such as Forgotten Tails Rescue, Kitty Kat Haven & Two by Two Animal Rescue. I am currently & have been a stay at home mother to two boys, ages 6 & 7 for the past 7 years. My availability it pretty well open during the weekdays to be able to assist for you & your pet's needs. I have an open back yard (1 acre) for your doggo to run & play. Indoors we have a large sectional that everyone likes to pile up on & snuggle. I also have puppy pads to use indoor & can also crate your pupper if you prefer, but I usually prefer not to confine the fur babies.

“Riley seemed to have a great time playing with friends and snuggling with the family which was welcoming and friendly. The yard was very large for energetic play. Thanks, Rachel.”

“Dave and his family (including his canine kiddos!) were AMAZING! I cannot speak highly enough or give enough kudos and praise! Dave was an excellent communicator; he was warm, welcoming, and caring. My little guy was happy and excited to see Dave’s pups and Dave, and to me, says everything I need to know!”

“Max had an awesome time at doggy day care with Daniel and Angela while I was working out of state! 🐾 Their home is so warm and welcoming—it’s the perfect pup retreat. They treated Max like one of their own and sent us thoughtful updates throughout the day (which totally made my day!). Max was all smiles when we picked him up and seemed pretty proud of himself for making new buddies—Barley and Greta, their two sweet terriers. They even let us know how much he ate, which this dog mom really appreciated. 10/10 would book again—Max gives them two paws up! 🐶💛”

About: • Lots Of Playtime • 24/7 Supervision (We Work From Home) • A Loving Home Environment • 2 Best Friends: Two Pet Pals For Your Fur Friend Our routine is designed to provide the utmost care and attention to your furry family member while accommodating our work-from-home schedule. We kickstart the day with a morning walk or play session with our own fur friends. We would love to do the same for yours! This ensures your pet is active, happy, and ready for the day ahead. Working from home is a blessing. It allows us to check in on all furry best friends to ensure the pets stay well-hydrated, have bathroom breaks, and receive love and companionship. This helps alleviate any separation anxiety! We love playing with them to keep your pet mentally and physically stimulated. This helps prevent boredom and restlessness. No matter how many times your pet requires feeding during the day, we will make sure they receive their meals, following any dietary guidelines you've provided. Before calling it a night, we perform a final check to ensure your pet is comfortable and secure. This includes making sure they have access to water and are settled for a good night's sleep. We have a fenced house where our own dogs run and play freely. We never leave them fully unsupervised, especially when they are sick, or they are too young or too old. We will maintain open communication with you, providing updates on your pet's activities, well-being, and any special moments or concerns. We are happy to send as many pictures/videos & updates as you'd like to make sure you feel comfortable. Our goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your beloved companion is in good hands.
