Doggy Day Care First Ward

“Peggy was great with my baby girl! She made sure my pup had lots of plays throughout the day, and sent me pictures and updates. She was able to accommodate our booking request such short notice, which really helped us out. Peggy’s home was welcoming and had lots of space for my pup to run around with her pups. I would recommend Peggy if you’re in need of daycare!”

“Latrice was available last minute on Christmas eve/Christmas morning of all days. Was literally a lifesaver that she was available last minute on a holiday. My puppy was happy as could be when I picked him up and I could tell he was well taken care of. :) I would absolutely book with her again!”

About: I’m the definition of a “dog person” — we’ve had several of our own, and we’ve been a boarding stop for friends and family for years. I’m not working full-time right now, so I have plenty of time to exercise your fur-friend, or just drop in for a visit! If you have any specific questions or concerns, I’d be happy to answer them! I’m not working full-time at the moment, so I’m available any day, at any time! Plenty of time for long walks or drop-ins, whatever your pet needs. Whatever you and your pet are comfortable with! I’ve dealt with tiny dogs and huge dogs, seniors and young puppies — they’re all special to me.

“Big milestone for Gus this week—his very first stay with Isabella, and it couldn’t have gone better. 🐾 About a month ago, we did a meet-and-greet so they could get acquainted, and today was the perfect chance for them to spend more time together and strengthen that bond before our trip next week. It means so much knowing he’s becoming comfortable, confident, and happy in her care. Isabella has such a calm, gentle presence, and Gus settled in almost immediately. Even though it was just a day visit, she sent texts and photos throughout the day, which gave us such peace of mind. The best part? Gus had such a wonderful time that he didn’t even want to go home. 💛 That’s the kind of reassurance every dog parent hopes for!”

About: I have had dogs in my home my whole life. When I was young, I started to learn responsibility by taking care of our pets. I’ve spent years walking, feeding, and grooming dogs. When any of my friends, family, or neighbors go out of town, I am their first call for a pet sitter. I have experience with all sizes of dogs and a variety of breeds, including German Shepherds, St. Bernards, and Pitbulls. I have had rescue dogs that need extra care and love due to their past, and am patient and gentle with those that are nervous. I also have experience with puppies, as I have raised some of my pets. I can even help with commands like sit, stay, and place. There is not a dog in the world I wouldn’t love! I work full time in live sports, and December is our off-season, so I will not return to work everyday until mid-January. I will be able to provide as much attention to your pet as you like! If your pet were to come stay with me in my home, they would be in a very clean and comfortable apartment. There is a balcony that they would not be able jump over or squeeze through, but they can enjoy the sun and fresh air! We have a fenced in dog park area, and per your request, I can either let your pet explore while it is empty, or take them to socialize with the others. If I am coming into your home to care for your pet, I will follow the guidelines you provide me exactly. I will always ensure the door is locked behind me, and that your home stays tidy as you’ve left it. I will make sure your pet comfortable as well, since it is also their home I will be coming into!

“Donye has recently become my go-to sitter! 10/10 highly recommend!”

About: I have been taking care of my dog for 6 years and have experience dogsitting for over 10years. My dog loves to have a friend over and we love to make their stay as amazing as we can. As a dog owner, I want to provide the relief that your dog is well taken care of of while you are away 😊 I currently work from home. Your dog would get plenty of walks throughout the day as well as playtime with my dog. I also have a small courtyard they can access for potty breaks and smell breaks. I have a very small fenced in courtyard for potty breaks and just hanging out outside. I take my dog on walks multiple times a day and we have an afternoon/evening playtime session. My dog Charlie, is a gentle giant and loves guests.

“We've been so happy with Enzo's daycare! Busy is an energetic dog full of personality and Enzo has welcome her into his home and made sure that her play with other dogs is safe and fun! She's made a lot of friends (with both dogs and human members of the house) and is absolutely exhausted when she comes home- who doesn't look a sleeping dog?!? Enzo sends tons of updates throughout the day and is always available if I need to reach him. We will definitely continue to book with Enzo in the future!!”

About: Hi there! I'm looking forward to meeting your baby. I have previously worked at a doggie day-care taking care of pets of all sizes. I have always had pets in my household and have administered medication to dogs and cats. I am a huge fan of long walks and am open to taking your baby on jogs if they need to release some extra energy. I have a flexible full-time work schedule but am typically available mid-day and after 4 PM during the week. My weekends are typically wide open. I have a cozy home and two pets that will welcome your baby with open arms. If care is requested at your home, I will treat it like my own and respect your space.

“Ashly was incredible with our little golden doodle pup! We were very nervous at first with a sitter since we only had him for 4 days but she made us feel comfortable and safe!”

About: I have been around dogs my entire life and grew up with two family dogs, giving me years of hands on experience with daily care, including walking, feeding, and playtime. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have pet sat for friends and helped care for their dogs while they were away. Pet care fits well into my daily routine. I work fully remote, which gives me flexibility throughout the day to take dogs on walks, provide drop in visits, and give them the attention they need. I also enjoy going on walks and runs as part of my own routine, so staying active with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, my priority is always providing a safe environment. I live in an apartment community with a fenced-in dog park, which provides a secure space for dogs to get exercise and enjoy time outdoors while being closely supervised. I am attentive to each pet’s routine and needs, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner.

About: What sets me apart as a dog sitting and dog walking expert is my deep commitment to providing a tailored and enriching experience for every furry friend in my care. My extensive training in animal behavior and pet first aid ensures that I can confidently handle any situation that may arise. I have a proven track record of successfully managing dogs of various breeds and temperaments, making me adaptable and capable of meeting the unique needs of each dog. What truly distinguishes me is my passion for fostering positive behaviors and connections. With a background in positive reinforcement training, I can work with your dog to reinforce good behaviors and address any challenges they might face during our time together. Additionally, my dedication to maintaining their routine and providing mental stimulation ensures they feel comfortable and content while you're away. Ultimately, my goal is to create a safe, fun, and engaging environment that gives your dog the exercise, companionship, and care they need. With a blend of expertise, personalized attention, and a genuine love for animals, I'm confident that your furry companion will have an exceptional experience under my care. Ideally I'm looking for a few Paw Pals to walk or sit on regular basis and keeping their routine would bebof top importance. My schedule is open. First I like to ask the parents how is the dog care for at home so I can try to emulate that at my home. As for the walks and play area, I live next door to a nice large fenced in dog walking area which is perfect for throwing the ball or frisbee and having fun. Also I believe walks are the perfect opportunity to encourage learning and training activities.
