Doggy Day Care in Fairhaven

“Austin was Amazing! He took Coco at the last minute and helped me through my first use of Rover. I appreciate him so much! He treated Coco so well and sent pictures during the day. Austin was very patient with puppy behaviors and was polite and respectful during our time with him. I felt safe leaving our puppy with Austin and would recommend him highly.”

“Rebeka is very sweet. Marshall was nervous going to a new place but she sat with him and cuddled with him, which is exactly what works. She was responsive and professional with all communication and we highly recommend her! Marshall had adjusted and was happy by the time we came to pick him up.”

About: We've had our own dogs for over ten years, and have pet-sat for countless of our friends over that time. One of our dogs was an intensely-traumatized rescue, who after intentional time and love, has become the absolute baby of the family. We're familiar with dealing with anxiety in dogs and making them feel as comfortable as possible, and have plenty of time and space to play! Our mission is to offer people a simple, affordable option for boarding their pets: to keep them fed, safe and company while you're away. There's nothing worse than doubling the price of your vacation just to get your pets looked after! We keep our boarding price more than reasonable to give folks the financial bandwidth to spend their vacation money on their vacation--not on boarding their pets. We are both contract workers with flexible schedules, and Taylor is often able to work from home so your pets will have plenty of companionship! So we told you our mission-- There's a few ways this translates. We have a huge yard. So, we don't take your pups on walks. BUT. We play fetch, tug of war, and intentionally initiate zoomies. If your pup is conditioned to expect walks, it's probably most fair to find a sitter who'll get that walk in! We love a good daytime cuddle, but we also like a good night's rest. So, your pets sleep in the living room, helping us avoid chaos while we're getting shut-eye. We kindly ask that if you book with us, that you're confident your doggies can sleep out on their own without too much fuss! We have an array of options for creating ideal environments for your pets, with baby gates, a large yard that can be segmented for dogs needing smaller spaces or space from others, and multiple kennels. Coming soon, an electric fence with an extra collar for your pup if you'd like it!

“Kevin is the best. Koko looked like he was having a great time. I loved all the pictures and updates. We will definitely book with you again. I was afraid with the separation anxiety it wouldn’t be a good experience for him, but I’m glad you made my baby comfortable. Thank you Kevin from me and Koko…”

We love all animals and look forward to meeting and caring for new animal friends.

We will gladly hang out with you pet and give them all the attention they deserve throughout the day. We own our home and have a fenced in private yard.

My wife works from home most week days and I work from home part time. We are available to supervise your pet, provide frequent outside time, and play. Bailey will also keep them company. We will treat your animal as part of the family. We want to make sure they are happy and comfortable throughout their stay. They will never be left alone with my dog unsupervised as we want to keep everyone safe. We will always keep your pet leashed when outside of our fenced in yard.

“Kathy was amazing with our dog Jax. My baby girl was having surgery in Boston and she put my mind at ease taking great care of our pup. Sent lots of updates and pictures throughout the day which made us super happy! Can’t wait to bring Jax back for another visit!”

About: Graduate Student & Lifelong Dog Lover 🐾 Hi, I’m Molly! I’m a graduate student in Early Education studying full-time remotely, and walking dogs helps me make ends meet while I gain classroom experience. I’ve been a dog owner and sitter for 20+ years, with experience caring for all breeds and ages—from energetic puppies to senior dogs. I live with my friendly 1.5-year-old Basenji, Reggie, and we walk daily (rain or shine!). I’d love to find regular clients for early morning walks (4:30–6:30 AM) or after 2:30 PM, but I’m also available for same-day, one-off check-ins and walks when you need last-minute help. I’m responsible, active, and treat every pup like family. 🐶💛 Flexible & Reliable Pet Care – Full-Time Availability I offer part-time availability for pet care. Morning walks are part of our daily routine—typically between 5 AM and 8 AM and ranging from 0.5 to 1.5 miles. In the afternoon, I provide a potty break, followed by an evening walk of 0.5 to 1 mile. This schedule works well for my own dog, Reggie, and any pup we’re hosting. I'm available for the below between 3PM and 10PM Scheduled or short-notice dog walks Drop-in visits Daily or multiple-times-a-day walks Weekly routines or one-time services Short-notice check-ins (with a fair, convenience-based fee) Whether your dog needs regular walks, occasional visits, or last-minute help, I'm here to provide safe, loving, and dependable care. Safety-First, Thoughtful Pet Care in a Calm and Controlled Environment For every pet care job—whether it’s dog walking, drop-in visits, or in-home hosting—I approach each responsibility with a safety-first mindset. I begin by assessing the environment, checking for any potential hazards, and observing the dog's temperament, energy level, and overall health to ensure they’re set up for a positive experience. I come fully prepared with all the essentials: leashes, treats, food (if needed), cozy beds and blankets, separate water bowls, poop bags, and anything else your pup might need to feel safe and comfortable. I believe dogs thrive in calm, predictable environments. As the walker or sitter, I take the lead in maintaining a peaceful, structured atmosphere where your dog can feel secure, enjoy their time, and have fun—all while staying under steady and attentive supervision.

“Savanna took exceptional care of my dogs and kept me updated, asked permission for treats and sent lots of photos!!!!!! 10/10 amazing! I’d love to use her again. 😁”

About: Over 20 years of experience with pets- I trained my very first dog at only 10 years old! I grew up with a Great Pyrenees and am experienced with large / xl breeds. I absolutely love dogs and animals in general. I have two precious dogs of my own currently who I love more than anything. I’d be thrilled to care for your dog! I work remotely full time as a software engineer! Your pets are welcome to hang out with us for the day when you’re busy. Weekends I can provide even more active care since I have the days off. I have a fenced in yard but depending on your pets needs I can take them out on leash still. I let the dogs out to play frequently, every 2-4 hours.

“Nani has taken care of my yellow lab puppy and my 3.5 year old mix. She did a great job and provided pictures and videos. The dogs seemed to have had fun each time I picked them up. I will likely use her again when I need someone to watch my pups.”

“Anna was so attentive to my dog- she sent me pictures and updates throughout the day, took him for walks, and made sure he was safe and comfy while I was working.He was so well cared for and wanted to go back inside as soon as we got in the car. Thank you Anna!”

“Darren and his family took great care of my Luna … who rarely leaves my side. They were flexible with my schedule and were kind and loving with my girl. When I picked her up she was wagging her tail. I plan to use them whenever we are in Jensen Beach.”
