Doggy Day Care Far West

About: I have been grooming and pet sitting for 16 years. I own and operate my own dog grooming salon (Motown Mutts) . I regularly pull and foster from local shelters and have experience with frightened, nervous and special needs dogs. I have a ton of references and have quickly earned a reputation for providing excellent care in my area. My children were raised doing this and dogs that don’t normally love kids love mine because they speak the language. The dogs are very rarely left alone. My daughter is an LVT and handy for emergencies when I call. I can also groom them with advanced notice during their stay. We love our pet sitters like our own and become very attached to them. My babies usually run to my door and can’t wait to get inside. I am certified in emergency canine CPR and therapeutic massage therapy. The dogs will go to work with me daily unless I find the daycare experience stressful to them (older or nervous pups). I also have employees at my salon so they are available in emergencies The pups will be my pet while with me, we wake up at 4 am, have our meals and then head to the salon for the day to play. I don’t do a lot of playtime outside in the summer during the hottest times but we exercise in the evenings when it’s cooler. If there is an emergency I have staff willing to help out. I prefer no Sunday pick ups or drop offs because that’s family day

“Carolyn was wonderful and had excellent communication. She also took beautiful pictures of my boy!! He can be nervous around new people, but he was instantly comfortable with Carolyn!”

“Mya did such a great job with my girl Mina on such short notice! Will definitely be using her as our sitter going forward. She had such a nice time with her dog as well & was very caring for her while she was in heat changing her diaper often. Could not suggest her as a sitter more!”

“Im so grateful for Geneva! I was in a bind last minute and I reached out to her. She responded so quickly to my request and watched my Ralphie for a whole day! She has a very cute home with a great backyard for him to play in. Ralphie was in great spirits when I picked him up and slept so soundly when we came home. I kniw he had such a great day with her! Thank you Geneva 😊 I've got her booked for next weekend already and I know Ralphie is excited too. Thank you for taking care of my boy 😌 I know he's in good hands with her ❤️”

About: I love working with all pets, whether it be sitting, caretaking, cuddling, trimming nails or grooming, I love spending time with all animals. Can’t wait to meet your pet. Currently working from home so I’m available nearly every day for regular or special visits. I am currently in school for veterinary medicine to be able to help pets further! I have two friendly cats and a small nervous but friendly dog, at any point they can be kept away from your pet if needed. I have a fenced in backyard in a neighborhood with walking trails and a dog park.

About: I am very picky when it comes to the care of my dogs. They have a specific routine and eating schedule. They are my babies and I care for them as I would care for myself. I will absolutely make sure to do the same for your fur babies as well. I am dedicated to making other owners feel safe just the same as I need when I have to be away from my babies. I work remotely part time and can be available for full time care. I have cameras that I monitor our home. We enjoy going on long walks in the morning and in the evening when the sun begins setting in the heat of summer. In the cooler (not cold or freezing weather) seasons, we go on a mid-day walk and on the really pretty days we love to go for as many walks or adventures that we can. My babies usually get 2-4 20 to 30 minute walks per day, more activity outdoor time with beautiful weather. I have 2 dogs at home that eat, walk, play and relax on a routine. I have a safe and secure fenced in yard, but it is small. There is a dog park around the corner and lots of walking trails. I take my dogs on "adventures" and they do have seat belts to keep them safe in the car. Your pets would be a part of our family and I would have them on a similar schedule unless directed to do something different by you. I work less than a mile from my home and have cameras all over my house. I am able to be home within 5 minutes or less if needed when I am away. Walks, outside & play time are very dependent on the weather. We don't go outside in lightning at all or if it is raining weather we only go out back for potty breaks and I look at weather apps multiple times a day because I do have a sweet girl that does not handle storms well at all. We have a dog park in the neighborhood and great walking trails. We go on long adventures as much as possible as long as it is not too hot or cold. Paw pad inspections are done with my bare feet on the concreate before my babies are allowed to walk. My sweet girl is older, so Leia is not able to handle the heat like Kylo. I am also very mindful of this. Your babies would be treated as if they were my babies unless there are other things you need me to do that I am currently not doing for my own.

“Molly and Trey took great care of Gambit for us! He came home happy, and we got a super cute pic of him hanging out with their sweet dog. They were very easy to communicate with and made me feel very comfortable. I would definitely have them watch Gambit for us again!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, so I’m comfortable caring for them through every stage from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a slower, more attentive approach. I’m patient with puppy routines and understand the consistency they need, and I’m equally mindful of the extra care, gentleness, and awareness senior dogs require. I genuinely enjoy being active, so long walks, playtime, and making sure dogs get the exercise they need is something I prioritize. At the same time, I’m very in tune with each dog’s personality whether they’re high energy or more of a couch companion and I adjust my care to fit what makes them happiest and most comfortable. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine. I’m currently in school and working part-time, which allows me to be home the majority of the week and flexible with scheduling walks, feedings, and playtime. During the week we are available, and depending on the weekend, we are often available then as well. My husband works locally and can come home as needed, so there is consistent care and attention for the dogs throughout the day. Because of this, I’m able to provide a stable, attentive environment where pets aren’t left alone for long periods and can stick to their normal routines. I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and comfort level, whether in my home or a client’s home. At my home, we have a fenced yard that allows for safe outdoor play and exercise, along with plenty of supervised time inside for rest and attention. I follow feeding schedules closely, keep water fresh, and make sure each dog gets the right balance of activity and downtime. I’m comfortable with crate routines if that’s what your dog is used to our own dog loves her crate but I also welcome dogs who prefer their own bed and a more relaxed setup. In a client’s home, I aim to keep everything as consistent as possible with their normal routine, including walks, feeding, playtime, and any specific instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure.

“Daniella was so awesome! She took Archie with late notice and made him feel right at home. She updated us regularly. Will definitely use her again!”

“Isha was friendly & accommodating. Helpful communication with us while booking and before we arrived, and she sent great pics & updates while the dogs were with her. Her back yard looked pleasant & secure. The dogs were very happy.”

“Emily is always so friendly and easy to communicate with. Bubs loves getting to visit with her and always leaves happy. 10/10 recommendations and will definitely use her services again!”

“Brenda was perfect for my pup! I was in town just for weekend, yet prior have research on Rover the best fit for my dog while we were busy during the day. Brenda was exactly what I was looking for. She was wonderful with my dog. I knew he was well cared for as he was calm and happy when I picked him up. He had playtime, walks and adequate quiet time. Thank you Brenda for making our weekend so delightful.”

About: I got my very own dog when I was 10 years old. Domino was a dalmatian and really just set the ball rolling for my love of all dogs! I have had at least one dog since, the most at one time was 4! We had Chihuahua named Pancho, Boxer named Pepper, Pit bull named Petey and a foster Mix named Ziggy! I would adopt all the dogs if I had enough space. I have dog sat for friends and thought this would be a great way to keep Hobbs social while still being an only child :) I currently work remotely and am available for 24/7 care in my home. I have one kennel but space for you to bring your own if your baby is more comfortable there. However, this is a dog friendly home so pups are of course allowed on furniture and to sleep in bed. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly boxer mix that LOVES all other dogs and thinks everyone is a friend! We go on short walks in the morning and evening while it's not so hot! During the day I always accompany potty breaks and encourage play time. We have plenty of toys, balls and bones that Hobbs loves to share.

About: Choose me as your dog sitter for 23 years’ experience, EMT training, CPR certification, and true animal devotion, providing safe, dependable, loving care every single time. As a self-employed worker, I set my own hours, giving me the flexibility to provide pets consistent attention, care, and companionship throughout the day and night. I prioritize safety by following each pet’s routine, monitoring their behavior, and keeping spaces clean. I build trust through gentle handling, consistent communication, and a calm, comfortable environment.

About: I have always owned pets and have a special place for all animals especially dogs. I have always rescued, but I’m ready to start getting to know more dogs and give them the attention they need! I’m currently working part time and have plenty of time to take care of dogs and give them the love they deserve! And taking the time to walk and play with them. I enjoy walking and exploring, and I love to see dogs reach their full potential and give them the exercise they want and need :)

About: I have had dogs since I was little. I currently have 2 cats, a barded dragon and an elderly yorkie. They are my children and my babies. I am open any time! I have doctors appointments to attend , but I can be flexible with your schedule! Just communicate your needs with me. I have 4 pets in my home, so I will need to care for your pets in your home as to avoid any disagreements between pets.

About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with multiple dogs, one of which I took care of myself once I was older. I had dog sat for friends and even teachers before. I have volunteered at dog shelters to walk and take care of dogs. I love all dogs and dogs love me. I am currently unemployed, searching for a job. I live in an apartment and am able to board a dog at any time of the week. I have room to play with them and for them to rest. My building has dog-walking areas and, in general, is located in a walkable area for dogs.
