Doggy Day Care in Florence

“Tonja watched our two dogs for an afternoon. Tonja was consistent with communication, and was great with both our dogs including helping them feel comfortable in a new environment. Would have Tonja watch our dogs again and highly recommend. Both our dogs left happy and worn out from all the playing.”

About: I have taken care of my pets and others all my life. Raised on a farm, I have extensive experience with various animals. We have 2 cats and 1 dog. I'm recently retired, making my availability accessible to care for other people's pets. My two cats and our dog depend on my care daily. We own 2 SUVs for transportation of your pet. We do have a fenced in play area, approximately 8'x30'. This is only for dogs that are experienced being enclosed, or smaller dogs. Also, we have a large yard for exercise and play. Our small subdivision in the country is off the main street. Neighbors walk their dogs on the street, because we have limited, slow traffic. In our home, if your pet is allowed to be on furniture or beds in your home, they are welcome on ours. I will do my best to follow routines you have developed with your pets. Same situation if I am caring for your pet in your home.

“We are so happy we found Lisa for our puppy, Belle! Belle was very taken care of and pampered, and even came home with the cutest little bandana at the end of her week-long day care stay. Lisa and her family are wonderful, and we won’t hesitate to have Belle over the next time we need doggy day care!”

“Our Teddy made good friends with Brynn and her family! He had fun snacks and took a nice long nap when he came home so I know he must have had a good play day! I would leave teddy with Brynn again, absolutely!.”

“Jolly and Kenbob are great people. After meeting and talking with Kenbob we had no qualms about leaving Bailey in trusted hands for the day. Would definitely call them again when we are in the area.”

About: I’ve been a dog owner for 8 years to a hairless miniature pincher named Otis! We have just added three new cats to the family Ollie, Pepper, and Buster. Over the years I’ve helped friends and family by watching their dogs ranging from toy to large breed. I look forward to meeting your pup very soon! I currently work from home a majority of the time giving me the opportunity to be hands on with your dog and available for play and potty breaks. If I do need to go to the office it is located in Rockford and typically those are quick trips in and out! If at my house I have my dog Otis and kitties Ollie, Pepper, and Buster to keep your dog company and plenty of beds to lay around on. I live very close to a nice park with a great walking trail. At your home I will be very respectful of your house as well as your dog’s needs and routine!

About: I am a stay at home mom so I will have plenty of time to interact with your dog! We are available for boarding during the week or weekends! We are an active family who enjoys the great outdoors! I am a stay at home mother of 3 kids whom I homeschool so we will have plenty of time to interact with your dog! We are available for boarding during the week or weekends! We have 2 large fenced in areas for dogs to run around in. We also live close to a park with a walking path and the Mississippi River for walks!

About: I currently have two small dogs who I take care of full time. I’ve had them for 2 years now. I love playing with dogs, rubbing their tummy, or just hanging out with them. If your dog has separation anxiety that will not be a problem. One of my dogs is the same way and I wouldn’t mind being there full time for your dog. Pet care fits into my schedule perfectly because most of my days consist of being home taking care of my two small dogs. I’m also a nursing student so it helps that I have a lot of time after studying to play with the dogs/puppies. I have a fenced yard. It is pretty big. In order to keep my dogs safe I always make sure doors are closed before letting them out and as a special precaution I like to add an AirTag to their collars in case anything happens (has not happened yet but it’s better to be safe than sorry).

About: Get ready for your dog to be spoiled! I am the owner of a 7 acre mini Farm home! Your dogs will absolutely love it here! There are lots of trees around and beautiful grass for them to run around in here. I have always been a natural when it comes to pets, but specifically I love dogs, especially really big dogs! I have had dogs my entire life and I now have a small Shepherd Lab mix at home. I make it a priority to make sure that your dogs are well taken care of, well fed, have lots of fun, and get lots of exercise! So it's more than just a regular boarding/walking experience. Also I am a bit of a photographer so plan on getting lots of beautiful pictures of your dog on the farm from me during their visit. I also have two older daughters who are absolute animal lovers and will play and pet your pups consistently while they are here. I am a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets, I an usually always home unless I am on a call for thr fire station. My land is not fully fenced off so If need be I will have to walk pups on a leash which is not a problem at all.

“Thomas and Emily are great! Peanut, who has separation anxiety, loved being with them. Their puppy is also a sweetie, and was great with Peanut too! Peanut will certainly be back in their care and I'm sure loving every minute of it. Thank you!”
